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.

 

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.

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?

Has to be the AFL dragging it out for media

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.

Only had the last 2 months to decide !! 

 

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

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


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?

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....

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

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.

 

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.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
