Give it 5 years minimum and it will be on prime time and the next footy event. Just check how it happens in the states.

They sell out MSG for the basketball draft.

Yeah, i've noticed that. But here i don't think it will take off as much.

While we still have the hype, our players develop at a different pace to theirs.

I could be imagining things but wasn't it on free-to-air a few years back? And on a weekday?

Maybe the AFL has reservations about turning it into a major event, the hype & business aspect of the NBA is hardly something to strive for. The expectations on draftees in the AFL are a lot different to the NBA also, the US feeder leagues are already big business & the top picks are expected to perform immediately. I agree that you'd think the interest would definetly be there though.

It definately was on FTA TV a few years ago live, but i seem to remember it on a sunday. Could be wrong though.

Yeah, i remember it like that too. They showed highlights of most of the top 20 from memory.

I'm surprised the AFL aren't right into it cos there are advertising dollar going to waste... but then again, it would be all included in the broadcasting rights contracts

Don't forget to watch - should be a fair bit about the MFC on the programme.

Did anyone see it? Was it any good?

If good, any chance anyone has it on tape or dvd?

I would pay to have it sent up and returned if you want it back.

I had it recorded on the Foxtel IQ, but I've deleted it now unfortunately. It wasn't that great. Good if you were at work all day and couldn't get any SEN coverage or get on the net, but with 16 teams to cover in an hour there is only so much detail you can go into.

What was good was that they had Jack Watts in the studio for a 5-10 minute interview, and boy oh boy, this guy is amazing for a 17 year old, in terms of his attitude and his maturity. Every time I've heard him speak I'm more and more convinced that he'll make the big time, just with his temperament alone.

The show was Ok. Jack is a very good speaker for a fella his age. He handles himself with aplomb and as some people are suggesting, he oozes leadership material. And for a bottom age player! He didn't talk about much more than has already been reported in the media already.

Two interesting things were the fact that Jack got touched up in a game by a girl in the juniors and came off the ground crying. Touched up in a football sense that is.............The other interesting thing was Ricky Nixon talking about Cousins. I am not a fan of Nixon, but some of the things he mentioned about the Lions and St Kilda were pretty spot on. Why Brisbane needed to state they will not take Cousins a second time in the week after previously making a one and only statement had him pretty bemused. Seems many clubs talked to Nixon about the way it has been handled and that there should be a better way to do things. They are all sympathetic to Ben and want to see him play, but they wont take him. Funny that. He is a player manager though......
