 I just don’t think it’s fair to the draftees and their families to drag it out. Well done Dilliton/Gill

No SWYL Burt style would be risky - I'm well into the Shiraz.

Adagio would be more accurate.

Smart thinking Bitters

those grinders are very unforgiving!!

Adelaide just traded out the pick they got from us for Lever and their 2019 1st rounder, to Carlton for their 2019 1st round pick (around pick 1 to 4)

Carlton obviously very keen to get Stocker from Sandringham.

Lots of pick movement going on - wonder what Mahoney and Taylor are thinking tonight, now that we have slipped down the order!  They might be manning the phones overnight!

Wow. Carlton trade their future 1st rounder for 19 and Adelaide future 1st rounder. Could well have traded #1 next year for 19 and 10+

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.

 

 I had the draft radio on... and turned it off & the telly back on.   boring as...  batshyte.

Any picks of the tinea, Bbo.  it would be more interesting than this draft, so far.

Crazy by the Blues, don’t they realise there still shizen?

I've probably got a couple of inside mids burbling away down there.

The Crows and Blues have an ugly little lovebird trist going on, ever since Betts and Gibbs days.

 


Brisbane going down our path of inside bulls.

Don't grind them too close Beebo, we might want them down the track.

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

Sydney are masters of this. They’ll take O’Halloran, I know it.

 

According to the MFC website, clubs were told by the AFL that they had to use their entire 5 minute time allocation before selecting first round picks tonight.

The rest of the draft (commencing at noon tomorrow) the picks can be announced as fast as the clubs want to announce them. Indication again that the AFL has NFI.

GWS got in before them. :(


So what number are our first 2 picks now and who's still available for them? Anyone got a decent list?

Ian Hill is available, he provides a lot of run and spark, so too is Bailey Williams and Jack Bytel.

We've been pushed out to 26 & 31 for the moment, but that might change with likely bids on Will Kelly, Kieren Briggs and Rhylee West.

This has too be the worst draft night in the history of VFL/AFL history? 

The whole AFL should be sacked.

How is that Syd/wce action not draft tampering?  Park a second rounder at wce, so bundle lower picks, then trade it straight back after the lower picks have been used.  How is this fair or in the spirit of the draft?  I know it cost them a later round downgrade next year, but this means they get Blakey and a second rounder for peanuts.

  • 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?
