I think Twomey has got a very very good insight once again. 

Crows and Eagles next picks. 

Leaves us with choices around pick  #23

Bailey Williams

Xavier O’halloran 

Ed McHenry 

Ely Smith

Then probably look at these guys with pick #28

Tom Mckenzie

Fraser Turner

Jacob Kennerley 

Riley Bowman (if we don’t get Bailey Williams).

Live trading was trialed last night, then abandoned because the internet kept crashing.

" The AFL told clubs on Wednesday night they would fix the problem but a back-up plan would be for the clubs to lodge their picks by pen and paper with AFL-employed runners scuttling  along the corridors from club boxes to the AFL hub."

That will make for entertaining viewing, Not.

Beggars belief that they left it until the Eve of the draft to trial the system in 'real-time'!

Not really Lucifer.

Often think that professional sports bodies appear to be very professional but the reality is often very different. 

Look no further than AFL, CA, FFA, NRL etc.

True.

I may be getting old earnest - there was a time, not that long ago, when new systems would be tested under various conditions and scenarios over and over again before declaring them 'ready to go'.  Smacks of incompetence to leave the 'real-time' trial to the last minute.

Will there be runner cam? What happens if the runner does a hammy and doesn't submit the pick in time?

Maybe the NGA bids can be settled by whichever club's runner gets to Gill first. Would be better than the GF sprint.

I think I prefer this system tbh...


Does anyone know if it is going to be streamed through the AFL live app? I have nothing so far.

Edit: with the live pass that is.

Disregard, it's up.

I hope those runners obey the new rules, and only enter into the fray, when play has stopped.!

Those poor young boys sent up to the Gold Coast for 2 years

And being forced to play for Carlscum because you have been labelled “Really Good”

What an awful scenario....

Lukosius after 2020: I’m a young star, get me out of here. 

Gold Coast pick two SA guys.... it's like a horror movie on repeat

I suppose the thinking is that there are only two clubs likely to poach them whereas there are 10 for the Melbourne lads.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
