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?

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
