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.

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.

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.

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.

    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.
