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).

Talking of things not going to plan: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/afl-draft-worry-as-rehearsal-abandoned-in-shambles-20181122-p50hlt.html

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.

Just get on with it.

In the same camp, never thought Gills ego would get even bigger.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
