THE 2018 AFL NATIONAL DRAFT

[Roger Mellie 4,032]

I hope one day the AFL realise the draft is only followed by footy tragics. There's never going to be a big audience. Maybe then they'll give up on these lame attempts to trick it up. The coverage was excruciating and compounded by the laughable technology that resulted in a whopping time lag between submitting pick selection and said pick appearing on the screen.

I’m confused- not unusual for me - but have we drafted Bedford and do we have any space for rookies?

[dazzledavey36 54,947]

Is the rookie draft also on??

There are quite a few numbers in that list missing or duplicated. @Whispering_Jack must have had a liquid lunch or it's already beer o'clock.

Just waiting for @rjay to tell me "no, it's there".

[Demonland 72,216]

Here are the highlights packages of all of our players in one.

 

 

[old55 23,598]

I think we've got 39 senior list + 3 cat a rookies + 2 cat b rookies

we're 2 short but we might leave 1 or both slots free for the pre-season pick-up and mid season draft

True - the AFL site kept changing the numbers as teams did their bidding. Finally caught up on the next round and hopefully, all fixed now.

[Gator 17,371]

Well, we've turned Hogan into May, Kolodjashnij, and Sparrow.

Time will tell.

It's unbelievable. Based on those highlights there is no doubt all of our new players are guns.

Taylor is a genius.

Who needs first round draft picks!

[chook fowler 19,459]

It seems we have a lot of similar types, mainly big bodied mids. Would have thought an extra tall like Bailey Williams would have had added a bit of variety.

I looked great in my 2 minutes of highlights. *

* 2 mins might be an exaggeration.

While I am not stupid enough to challenge JT, just on the look of him, I agree, I also would have liked to get Williams.

[DubDee 25,886]

you would have thought a tall would have been drafted.  We are very short on rucks and tall fwds.  perhaps we will rookie one?   I do agree however with not drafting talls with early picks as they are risky.

also, they have a day break in the middle of the draft but dont give clubs time to re-group for the rookie draft?  strange.  I would have thought some time for discussion would be handy before the rookie draft

[Lord Travis 10,735]

Yeah we’ve only got two tall forwards on the whole list now. They must not have rated the options available as it’s a clear need, so we’ll have to back Taylor and co with their good record so far!

Smith is 192cm. Not tall enough for AFL tall forward and has produced nothing of worth as a forward there. He’s played well up the ground on ball using his frame there, but at 28 years old and not getting taller he’s a medium tall or another position/delist material.
