Conversation about the first day of the 2022 AFL National Draft. Who will be No 1? Who will the Demons select? Will draft picks change hands and what impact would any such trades have on our selections?D3B2FE79-B75E-4A10-AD9F-DEF77AB84049.jpeg

Can’t wait to hear Sarah Jones ask Will Ashcroft if he’s excited to be joining his father’s old club.

And Lions Expert Jonathan Boofhead on hand to give his thoughts?

For those who haven't been following, though we have 4 picks listed, we only have two senior list spots available since we gave Hibberd and Melksham another year. This means we will only be using two picks in this draft.

Lots of media discussion around us trying to trade our future first round picks, and potentially pick 13 too, to get into the top 5 in this draft tonight. Nothing has come of it yet, and I doubt it will, but the clubs been aggressive in trying to get high end talent in. Will be interesting to see how it unfolds!

Well, it should get interesting when they reach Pick 63 because both Hawthorn and Richmond are shown above as holders of this coveted selection.

Expect feathers to fly!

Today I’m relaxed.  Years ago this was our bright light and our search for a glimmer of hope.  But we have our premiership 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆and we have confidence in JT and team to make the right moves.

🤣🤣Love it.  Maybe given all the sudoku numbers flying around after trade and pick swaps, it got too confusing.

If we get 4 and 22 what will we do with 37? Trade it on? It might be offered as well to seal the deal. 

Don't think Essendon can take it, as they originally owned 37 - traded to us for Weid

What pick was Bowey again? 17? 😁

21. That was an odd draft though as there were so many academy and father son picks that the first round lasted until pick 26!

For those that can read it it's an article written around these figures. Top ten statistically is far more valuable than the next tier.

Yes maybe they should then compare 11-20 with 21-30 etc. … I think the outcomes are obviously better for lower picks.

37 was originally the Swans pick but given to the Bombers in the Francis trade.

Interestingly the trades between Swans, Bombers and us were all done separately, I.e. not part of a 1 x 3-way transaction. Not sure if that means we can trade it back to them or not though.

Can't wait to hear Nat Edwards (?) Tuomey and Shifter drone on and on and on, long after the next pick is in.

Can't wait to see each club's recruiters looking bored/awkward when the camera sits on them long after they've submitted their pick. We then get to listen to the above for 5 more minutes while the whiz bang technology catches up. Fair dinkum - write the player's name on a piece of paper, wrap it around a rock and chuck it at the panel. It would be quicker and at least entertaining!

I've looked at the Foxtel time slot - TWO HOURS for the first round of the draft!

They included it. I couldn't fit it in one pic.  As expected.

If headings are correct, you are comparing 10 higher picks to 5 lower picks. If that's the case there not a big discrepancy at all. Different story if it should read  PICKS 21-30

So hope we trade with Essendon, and you only need to watch up until pick 5.

    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.
