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.


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?

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
