Oh no ... reverse order is back

FOX TAKES A SPECCY

I didn't mind the reverse order top 10 last year but this time around (with no picks there) I think it's going to suck bigtime.

Well for picks from 10 to say 6, after they're called out we would have a fair idea of who will be around for our pick 12, as the top 4-6 are pretty much set in stone. So long as they don't take an eternity to announce them like last year.

Or you could just follow it online and see them in the correct order, as they happen.

Fox are trying to make the event exciting and suspenseful, when by nature it's really not. Seems like ratings grubbing at its worst to me. I'm not sure what type of person would find watching the top 10 of the draft in reverse order exciting or interesting, but I'm certainly not one of them.

 

FMD Nooo! - dumbest idea ever

Tell someone who cares!


At least they'll have the analyser thing.

That was shocking last year, had no idea who was getting picked post top-10 with those horrid interviews.

On the bright side, like last year, Melbourne will have a nice bit of time to make their next selection after that top 10 - Gysberts at 11 last year, ? at 12 this year.

But seriously, the AFL HQ reveal their lack of substance every time they add a new gimmick. Everything is a gimmick in Demetriou-land.

I'm not sure how Fox can really expect to gain the ratings if the presentation is of the poor standard of last year. Anyone who is really interested would be getting their information elsewhere i.e. online as you suggest or on SEN.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
