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"

He's ready to go in round 1.

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.

The word "elite" will be bandied about far too liberally.

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

"Can one day captain the club."

Will be the next [insert name of legendary player]

Draftee X when asked how he feels about being drafted - "It's surreal"

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

This pick 68 is a gun kick and a real smooth mover, a bit of the Chris Judd's about him'

Never heard of again

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.

One of the SEN commentators rolled out the old "he's a Ryan O'Keefe type" chestnut.

Do they "bleed red and blue"?

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".
