Similar to the National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League, the reverse-order nature of the Australian Football League (AFL) national player draft has often times been speculated to induce tanking. However, a prior study found that there is no evidence of tanking within the AFL. This study tests this assumption under four periods, namely, pre-2006, 2006-2011, 2012-2014, and post-2014, to reflect the changes in rules. While the results concur with the previous study, the behavior of teams in the priority pick era of the draft finds evidence to the contrary.

AFL国家草案如何减轻不正当激励措施？

与美国国家篮球协会和美国国家曲棍球联盟相似，澳大利亚橄榄球联盟（AFL）国家球员选秀的颠倒性经常被认为会引起坦克比赛。但是，先前的研究发现，在AFL内没有坦克的证据。本研究在2006年之前，2006-2011年，2012-2014年和2014年之后的四个时期内对该假设进行了测试，以反映规则的变化。尽管结果与先前的研究一致，但在草案的优先采摘时代，团队的行为却发现了相反的证据。
