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

Petty came to mind for me as well. Welsh is a beauty, they may be hoping to have have WC’s pick land ahead of a bid for Welsh and have 2 high draft pick-worthy kids to look forward to.

This is going to drag on isn't it? 

Can't we just start

[gs77 4,614]

Christ when do the draft selections actually start. 

[spirit of norm smith 16,679]

Please not Nick Watson. We had the original Wizard.  Watson is a small one position forward pocket. He was not effective in the midfield this year as shown in the GF. Sure he’s got tricks but we have Kozzy and need more midfield or key back youngsters like Curtin, Sanders, Leake, O’Sullivan or Windsor.

Are they still serving pre draft cocktails?? 

[fr_ap 2,566]

We've traded pick 42, so if Kynan Brown is picked in the draft we won't be able to match. 

We will get him as a rookie if no one calls out his name. 

They clearly don't love him

More like raspberry lemonades with extra sugar from the look of those kids during the live cross to Brownie!

Won’t be picked. Locked in for a spot on the rookie list.

Dragging like a dogs butt on the carpet…

After months of speculation, Reid goes to WC.

My god why did it take so long for west coast to tell us they're picking Harley?

Also what happened to the clubs reading out the players they are drafting

The AFL probably forces it to be that way for fake drama.

[spirit of norm smith 16,679]

Wow. Start time 6:45. No it’s starting 7:28. 

[gs77 4,614]

McKercher picked by North at #2.

[dees189227 12,512]

Is Ben Dixon going to interview every top 10 pick?

[640MD 3,568]

And are they thinking about no 3

[old dee 24,083]

Typical AFL. I will come back around 8.30 they might have got to 6 by then.

They've even got the NFL pre draft pick music. For god's sake..

[Jibroni 5,057]

Can this script be any more obvious.

Where have you been?

They haven't done this for a number of years.

[dees189227 12,512]

Love the little kids up on the gold coast cheering on the players that get drafted

Honestly I haven't watched a draft for awhile. Only tuning in tonight to see our picks 7 & 11

The players get drafted well before the TV says they are. It’s so they can get the interviews and analysis in.
