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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
