I know the TV coverage starts at 7pm, but what time is the actual first pick made?  Is it 7.30?

(No desire to sit through all the waffle before the interesting stuff happens.)

It's going to be like watching the Brownlow isn't it?

    Apparently we are not interested in Curtin if available at pick 6.

    We won't trade out of the top 10, so I don't think we're a factor.

    We're apparently keen on acquiring GWS' pick 7 so must be keen on a player who will be gone by our pick 11.

    Windsor at pick 6 very likely unless Watson is still available. Watson a chance of getting through if North select Curtin instead of Duursma.

    Doggies apparently are set on drafting Sanders even if Watson is still on the board.

    Hmm, Leake, Caddy or O'Sullian

    I think our ideal situation outside of pick 1 (Reid) is landing GWS' pick 7 and selecting both Watson and Windsor if available with picks 6 and 7 likely to be picks 8 and 9 after academy bids. Something like the below.

    1. Reid

    2. Walter

    3. McKercher

    4. Curtin

    5. Duursma

    6. Sanders

    7. Read

    8. Watson

    9. Windsor

    Is our 11 + F1 > Adelaide's 10 + 14/20?

    We'll take WC's and Adelaide's 2024 first rounders off Adelaide's hands for Harry Petty then ...

    Remember the Old Days when this was Our favourite part of the year. Normally started by Round 4 because the season was done. Being a Finals worthy Club with TWO fairly high picks I've got my eyes closed, fingers crossed for a Key Position Type and a young bloke who hurts you with his foot skills forward of Centre. Think there's plenty of options and may the Recruiting lads continue their success.

    I can’t believe we are not entertaining a future pick swap with WC. Best case scenario pick 1, in an absolute disaster we break even.

    Crows eying off WC future 1st with Sid Draper in mind:

    https://houseoffooty.com.au/2023-afl-draft-draft-day-whispers-part-2/

    They get Scott Welch’s boy via FS next season. Looks fairly handy so wonder will they look at packaging some first rounders next year for a top pick before Welsh gets nominated or to target a ready made player like Petty

    They wouldn’t do the deal until after our pick.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.
