    Teeming hordes in red and blue pouring into Gosch's as I type. Cops concerned about riots, civil disobedience. Stock markets plummeted. Premier kept notified of developments.

    I may have read this wrong. Are they getting pick 1 and 2 or not. They said they weren't on trade radio.

    Yep, their priority pick is pick 2.

     They are getting a great ride here by the AFL

    Nope. Apparently they get pick 1 in this years draft, which bumps the pick they already have to 2. We are now at pick 3

    Incredible hand out considering some of the blame for their position should be on the Suns. Eg trading Lyons.

    Unbelievable really. They had a good hit at the super draft and now this. Top 2 seem clearly the best. Victorian players. Can you believe it? 

  • Quote

    It’s odd they have split Rowell and Anderson - maybe we have made an agreement to give them pick 2 for King?

    Shocking, he initially didn't read out that pick 1 was a priority pick, this is crap.

    Move on now.

    Yeah very misleading that first tweet. They get picks 1 & 20 as compo picks, then their real pick is pick #2.

    Seemed way too good to be true

    Let's not sugar coat it.

    First and last picks in round 1 this year then a middle round 1 pick next year and another end of first round the following year

    They can call it round 2 all they want but it's essentially 4 first round picks

    It's three years of draft assistance includes:

    • Picks No.1 and No.2 at the 2019 NAB AFL Draft.
    • The first pick of the second round (currently pick No.20) at the 2019 NAB AFL Draft.
    • Mid first-round pick (currently pick No.11) at the 2020 NAB AFL Draft.
    • The first pick of the second round (currently Pick.19) at the 2021 NAB AFL Draft

    That is two priority picks this year.  One at the start and one at the end of round 1.  The public dialogue was about either the start or the end.  Staggering that they get both!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
