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: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
