THE 2018 AFL NATIONAL DRAFT

[Engorged Onion 10,223]

Our pick 6 is coming up ... we folded for May...?

[spirit of norm smith 16,588]

Crashed again this year

Run by Ticketek?

Afl and tech is a joke

Fox is reporting that Sydney have traded pick 26 to WCE for a 2019 3rd round selection (around pick #60). 

I assume it has been incorrectly reported as it is such a lopsided trade - there has to be more to it!

Edit:  WCE now have picks 20, 22, 26.

how can North who have their first pick at 42 match a number 8 pick for Taryn Thomas?

Academy selections are a joke

that is plain ridiculous.... you wonder why the bidding club bothers if its only peanuts...

Are they trying to free up the selections around the 40 mark? Otherwise it makes little sense to me.

Stand by Ben King instead of Fold for May?

Bugger. With Swans trading back into the 2nd round, I can just imagine them pinching the player we want.

[Demon Disciple 12,274]

So over an hour has gone by and only 12 picks have gone through? Jeez this is beyond a joke.

The AFL have turned this into a farce. Another feather in Dill's cap!

That trade of Syd 2019 2nd round pick (around 30+) for WCe pick 24 explains the earlier lop-sided trade that greatly favoured WCE. 

We still have pick 23, one ahead of Sydney so may get our preferred player. 

 

Very clever of Sydney to do this after Blakey was selected otherwise they would have had to use pick 24 for him!!  They are very active and creative with pick trading - they may catch a few clubs napping!!

Edit: cross out ref to Syd pick

No, we have dropped down to p25.

Now p26.

[Melbournepotter 383]

Even the first pick took around 4 minutes...have the clubs been told to drag it out ? Surely you know your pick if you are number 1

They never learn.   I thought Demetriou was bad, but then McLachlan came along.

[Clintosaurus 7,861]

That Bailey Williams ruck tap in the Sam Sturt highlights. Do want.

The Herald Sun says yes. Told to take the full 5 minutes, so the first round takes as long as possible for the TV coverage

[Bitter but optimistic 22,246]

I just turned the draft broadcast on ...and off. FMD that is possibly the most boring and laborious shite I've seen on television.

I' m going back to angle grinding the  tinea off my toes.
