What to expect

Well, it's time to predict the most important thing about draft day. What comments will the clubs, their recruiters and their recruits say?

Will we get the time honoured "I couldn't believe player x was still available when it came to our turn" or perhaps "I couldn't read player x's number out fast enough"?

How about "We drafted for best available"

Or, (a new one, just for this year) "I really had hoped Brendan Fevola would find a new home, but he didn't fit with our plans at this time".

Which top ten draft pick will say, "I wasn't sure if I was going to get picked at all...I'm just glad somebody wanted me". And then there's the simple, but effective "I'm stoked".

i find this the most exciting thing about draft day.

Oops, almost forgot my favourite "We expect player x to be a 200+ game player for us"

    I expect that Travis Tuck & Aaron Hall will not be picked up tonight in the National draft.

    Michael Newton will beat Patton for #1 pick.

    I expect Freo to select recycled players, continuing the Ross Lyon theme. Very pleased he is over there and not with us.

    "words can't describe how happy i am to be drafted by this club" newly drafted player

    We can expect a few glum faces when their name is called by GWS followed by "I am looking forward to playing AFL and my dad is really looking forward to his new job as a recruiter for Carlton"

    I hear Ox on SEN tonight saying that GW$ get 18 out of the first 14 picks; 14 players and 4 fathers.

    Tonight we will see a club, already built on lies and deception, rape the draft. In two years we will see just how many of the players they pick want to stay and how many would rather play for a club that has honour and integrity.

    Who knows, some of the kids playing up there may be the first to witness flares being fired at an AFL game.

    And I forgot the obvious "He gets his own ball"

    Hey, it's better than drafting players who enjoy grabbing other people's balls.

    Would be even worse if they're "hard at it".

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
