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

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......

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
