2020 AFL Draft

[Pickett2Jackson 3,904]

Ugle Hagan should be a Crow.  Worst team in the comp don't even get the best talent in the draft.

Dogs win a flag 4 years ago and make finals the last two years and get pick 1.

Farcical.

[Demonland 73,218]

What are Adelaide waiting for here. Surely they know who they're taking now. Are they required to wait the 5 minutes in order for the interviews to take place?

Reading this thread is close to the funniest thing i have had in 2020

And now they're telling us that the crows are taking 4 minutes to decide who is next?

The whole draft, they estimate about 55-60 kids

Aha. Nice. I saw it was over 2 nights and thought they had split it again.

Rookie draft tomorrow.

Has to be the AFL dragging it out for media

[Redleg 41,635]

Dumb Crows in handing Dogs all the publicity. Should have picked the kid they wanted and let Roos nominate him and then he would be 2 not 1.

Not sure how it would work but there should be some kind of compensation.

This draft like 2020 is just dragging on unnecessarily.

Good point.

Someone in the Crows marketing department should have thought of that.

[Deecisive 1,709]

too slow it will [censored] people off waiting so long especially when teams know who they are taking at this early stage

[Whispering_Jack 30,762]

Oh for the days when they did the top ten backwards.

The whole first round at least will drag out with interviews.

At this rate we will get to our selections around ten pm. I will watch a movie in the mean time.

[Lucifers Hero 40,375]

This is very annoying.  Part of the interest was watching the clubs and their deliberations.

Does anyone know if it is broadcast on another platform?

You could probably watch the Lord of the Rings Trilogy Extended version and make it just in time for the Dees first pick.

[Nascent 9,286]

Wow, Phillips to North. All the Phantoms are out of whack already.

[Axis of Bob 11,875]

Phillips to North. Good pick, for mine.

If you're trying to build a club the right way, through contested footy with high character, he's someone you can build a club around.

Why aren't they showing each teams recruiting boss call the names out?  Just flashing the names up as they come in is so lame... guess the AFL haven't discovered webcams, Zoom, technology etc....

Think these guys are doing a LIVE stream via AFL.COM.AU

Hand all or some of the "spent" picks to the club who lost their spot?

May give them access to earlier picks than otherwise, or could give them assets they can trade on the night to improve other positions or future draft hands.

Gil has to earn his paycheck this year.

Bit of a surprise with the Roos going for Will Philips

Terrible move by the Crows.   Lost all the prestige  and marketing bonus of having the #1 pick.
