Team Captain
The problem with the draft isn't that the climax comes too early (despite what your girlfriend may tell you). It's that the actual process is staid and boring.
Everyone puts on a suit or a sponsor polo and sits at a little table waiting politely for the teacher to call their name. It should be more like a cattle roundup.
They should put all the nominees in a big pen, and then when the whistle blows, the team reps run in and grab what they can. Rules can be introduced to make it fair, eg only the head coach can actually grab the player, but others can block and shepherd.
This would introduce all sorts of excitement, such as:
- seeing Hardwick and Todd Viney whacking other coaches to let Clarko grab another four key position stars (by grabbing them around the knees);
- watching all the kids outrunning old man Craig to avoid having to go live in Adelaide;
- Matthew Knights dressing in white so he can sneak up on players unseen;
- it would remove the advantage of tanking for draft picks - all the bottom four teams could be released together (ie like the lottery system, but with the added bonus that you get to watch fatty Williams run).
