I just watched the video ‘inside the top 4 picks’ posted by the AFL.  On AFL.com.au if you can stand it.

Some points:

Carlton delayed making their first selection for several minutes for no reason.

Gold Coast were about as interested as someone inspecting someone else’s tinea.

They all think they are comedians.

Saint reckon drafting King was worth 10000 members!

Shows what a complete and utter toss-fest the event was.  Poorly delivered viewing experience, and stage managed by idiots.

THis should have been footage that should never have been allowed out.  Awful stuff.

    It's been spoken about elsewhere - all selections were to be spaced out for 5 minutes as a directive, irrespective if you were clear on your decision immediately. 

    Appreciate your opinion on the quality of the viewing, I for one don't care for it - and thousands of others would say that both you and I are wrong.

    People vote with their time and their money :) and it's all their discretion.

    LOL just watched it and and I can not believe the official site uploaded that for all to see.

    Just confirmed what we all said on the night, the whole event was farcical.

    Gotta flood the TV ? airwaves with something in the off season. The Broadcasters have bills to pay ?

    All clubs were instructed to take the full 5 minutes, even if they had decided in the first 15 seconds.

  • Quote

    5 minutes is a little overkill but a good panel, good tv interview and clever highlights can and should take 3-5 minutes per pick if done properly.

    If the AFL mandates 5 minutes then take all of the time just in case a late trade happens. Why not?

    The bottom clubs will do anything for PR. We should all know that, it wasn't long ago that we were doing that and you never know when it might happen to us again.

    To be honest, I haven't seen the video and didn't watch draft night either, but from past experience and what I'm hearing it sounds like it could all be done a whole lot better.

    If the AFL and TV producers can get some more exposure and advertising sales out of it then why not and let's face it, there is probably a market for it at that time of year, when some people are probably craving some more footy action and/or if you are a struggling club as we have been in the past, it's probably one of the football highlights of the year.

    By the sounds of it though, probably less focus on draft night proceedings/machinations and more emphasis on player highlights, bio's etc could be more like what's required.  It could actually be a good opertunity to provide a bit of airtime and public reconition for the TAC/underage comp level coaches etc.

    Watched it and turned off early. It killed brain cells. Big Egos and absolute [censored]$”)rs is a quick description. Why does the afl comms team think this is worthy? Take it down

    Draft night should have been all done and dusted in 90 minutes, for it to drag over 2-3 days was just wrong on so many levels

    But it’s the AFL so i know what to expect

    Have only heard bad things about the new format and can now see why. Carlton sitting there for 5 minutes while Sam Walsh twiddled his thumbs was idiotic.

    Seeing the head coach read out the player’s name and handing them the jumper was a great feature and that’s been stripped as well by the looks. Now it’s just Gil meandering on and off stage? How inspiring.

    They make sme odd decisions.

    If the game of Australian Football wasn’t so wonderful and great, those running the AFL would be homeless beggars. 

    20 years ago i said to mates that Reserves Footy would return at some stage. It’s what the paying fans want.

    That’s just one decision, that has nearly killed of the VFA sides sadly, the draft night telecast was so cringeworthy i felt genuine sorrow for the production crew working it. 

    Same goes for GF Day. The league have no idea how to structure the day anymore. 

    A Curtain Raiser is what it lacks...

    But no they have to Americanize it all now...

    The things displayed, decided-upon and the collective behaviours of appointed representatives of the AFL and Clubs has reached low tide, that is for sure. Gil and company have much to answer for in their clamour for those things - including their own personal fame and fortunes - that appeal to pea-brain, toothless Filth supporters and perhaps some from Carlscum with similar throng mentality.

    That's a tautology, isn't it?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
