Does anyone know what time the draft acually starts? I can't find out from the AFL web pages - they won't tell me presumably because they want me to watch a whole lot of bilge first.

I assume they have done away with the 10 -1 count down which sucked and will just call them out starting at 1?

the coverage couldnt be worse than last year - but I back them to somehow lower the bar. lets talk to some kids' parents while pick 25 is being read out and we can't hear it! arrg!

It's impossible to overestimate how low they'll go. Foxtel at its best.

What i heard was that the recruiter's no longer call out the player # and name. They select them via the new fandangled computer program. Coach then gives them their guernsey as per usual, including the # that they'll wear.

afl.com.au have both a video and radio stream, SEN will be doing their usual thing.

On foxtel the fox footy channel shows the draft including player interviews, whereas i think fox sports shows the draft in it's entirety for those that just want to watch the draft and not the usual interview cut-ins.

As some may not be able to read it I'll put below the order of Sam's Phantom Draft.

1. Carlton - Weitering

2. Lions - Schache

3. Swans - Mills*

4. Dees - Oliver

5. Scum - Parish

6. Scum - Francis

7. GWS - Hopper*

8. Gold Coast - Milera

9. Dees - Weideman

10. Blues - H. McKay

11. GWS - Kennedy*

12. Crows - Ah Chee

13. Blues - Curnow

14. Tigers - Gresham

15. Lions - Hipwood*

16. Crows - Burton

17. Saints - Tucker

18. Hawks - Rioli

19. Gold Coast - Balic

20. GWS - Himmelberg

21. Norf - Clarke

22. Lions - Keays*

23. Hawks - Collins

24. Blues - B. McKay

25. Dogs - Dunkley

26. Dogs - Bonner

27. Freo - Cole

28. WCE - Hibberd

29. Scum - Mathieson

30. Scum - Mitch Brown (mature age)

As always it's a different take and worth discussion. Sam will get some right and some wrong like everyone else. So be it.

I reckon Oliver and Weideman would be perfect for us. Strong bodied, aggressive midfielder, and a strong key position high marking forward. Complements Jesse and the mid field group perfectly. Exciting times!

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
