How many days to go?

[Chook 15,001]

Ah yes. Well that will be my last tip on horseracing for Demonland. Great name by the way, how did you come up with it? You should communicate with our own Bean Dailey.

I think it's bad form to talk to yourself.

You are worse than Sybil.

[Redleg 40,362]

3 days to go, as the tension mounts.

No way can it be the shambles it was last year. The commentators were too busy interviewing their subjects - often past draft picks whose careers were ending or over - to announce who was being picked and names were being quickly flashed across the screen. At times it was more about the presenters than about the players drafted.

Keep up the banter gentlemen.

Scoop Snr working a treat.

Agree regarding last year's coverage. It was more a re-union of sorts for Dunstall, Pickering and Lynch referring to their drafts of the past and Liam Pickering highlighting certain draftees (probably his clients). Kevin Sheehan was the nuffy that tried to keep the draft order updates coming and giving at least some insight to the draftees background.

With IQ you can rewind to go back and see the names on the bottom of the screen along the ticker tape, which makes it handy.

I am getting so excited by this draft that I will only be able to eat one dinner tonight. Maybe a banana smoothie can wash it down for me.

For those that like an exotic bet, I am thinking of getting a bookie mate to set a book of odds, on excuses the GWS will give for you know who not playing round 13, against us at the G. I think he is an absolute certainty to be a no show.

[Mister Ed 305]

Just exactly how many days are there to go until the draft?

[Whispering_Jack 29,324]

You're kidding? Yes.

I have a more serious (ok semi-serious) question to ask the draft experts. Given that Mr. P. Ssssssssssssssssssss ... cully is now on the GWS recruiting staff, does he have a seat at the GWS table when the draft is conducted and, if so, do the Giants get a bigger table than the other clubs?*

(*not really a fat joke - they probably need a bigger table anyway because of the number of picks they have).

[H_T 3,038]

Just exactly how many days are there to go until the draft?

About 53 hours....just to be different.

[H_T 3,038]

He will have a seat, but just off to the side and out of view.

I'm not sure about a bigger table, but I imagine they will get a taller table; if there is any business to be conducted during the evening, they will no doubt want to have enough headroom.

Laugh as much as you like but the fellow's a recruiting genius worth his weight in ... well, worth his weight.

The story goes that he was given a recruiting assignment to get whatever he prefers and he came back with the signatures Shaun McKernan, Hamish McIntosh and Eric Makenzie, all players over 195cm.

When asked why he chased after these blokes, he said it was because he prefers Big Macs.

As they said in a Monty Python sketch called "a minute passed", a minute passed, then another and another, then a different minute passed and still another minute passed, followed by a minute passing, with another totally different minute passing and before we knew a minute had passed and still yet another passed, then without warning an entirely new minute had passed, followed by another and then another.
