    What a complicated drawn-out six-week saga that is. No wonder many players claim to want to be a one-club player!

    Don't know if anyone else saw this, but as I was flicking around the Foxtel menus this morning, on Fox Sports 3 (I think it was) in the Program Guide, it has "Coming: AFL Draft..." along with a couple of other sporting events.

    When I clicked on the Info button on my Fox remote, the program information that is displayed says something about (and I am paraphrasing badly here) "...all draft picks from pick 27 onwards...".

    That seems like a pretty random number to me... does anyone have a clue as to what that is about?
