Soft GWS, soft!

 

[Sproj]

Let's see who the GC will invest two years on before losing.

In an open draft I think GWS would've made the same selection.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Daicos bid is in.

Will we get both our first round picks in tonight? Sorry if already been asked.

About 2 am

 

[irel]

Awful, absolutely awful from the AFL. Cringe

 

[Mighty Lions]

We have certainly had it happen to us a couple of times over recent years...I'm sure there are recent examples.

BANG, twice in 4 picks from Northern Clubs...Go figure.

About 2 am

Just wasn't sure how it would work with our picks getting pushed back. Cheers guys

 

[jackess]

All going to script so far. Thrilling

 

[Sproj]

Mac Andrew - that's a surprise...I like it, well done GC.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Stop interviewing players right after. Fans of 17 clubs are invariably bored at any one time. Just interview them on the website afterwards.

isn’t that where the phantoms had him going?

 

[jjami15]

So possibly the draft opens up a bit now in regards to who goes where?

 

[pulpdriver]

What a ******* shambles the draft is. What moron comes up with this?

It's a joke. I assume they see the theatre of the NFL draft and want to replicate it but it's dumb. There is no excitement waiting five minutes between picks, particularly when much of the first round can be relatively predictable. Spreading over two nights is a waste of time too. Give teams maximum of three minutes per pick, with an option of calling for a two minute extension maximum of two times. Half hour break after the first round then the rest of the draft in one night.

Now it does, Hawks linked to about 4 or 5 kids.

 

[Sproj]

Eh probably, I thought we were at pick 20 already.

 

[Section 5]

Guys/Gals it's five minutes to give clubs time to do behind scenes stuff like pick swaps already a few done

 

[cotter101]

God this is terrible viewing.

 

[morsie]

Can they just stop talking and tell us what is happening?

 

[The Zork]

Feel like they’ve exhausted a lot of their filler chat early the broadcast team

 

[mattsmob]

Hawks timed out? How is there an extra 2 minutes added to the clock?

 

[jackess]

Top 7 as expected will we see a surprise at 8?

You can ask for an extension of time
