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?

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.

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.

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.

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

Good point.

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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.

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.

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....

Gil has to earn his paycheck this year.

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

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
