I got permission from Irving's guardians to capture this video off his Facebook and upload it to Youtube to make it easier to share...
Here are the moments of him being drafted.
Yep. And that Essendon we’re keen. Said “Matt Blain had said they’d pass if Essendon went early “.Seemed to me that the guardian already knew the hawks were going to pass

Dodoro was interviewed and said that Wrighty told him a few days ago we wouldn't match.
We weren't surprised and were totally prepared for it. The fans weren't.
We wouldn’t of known, but there was enough talent left on the board too justify letting him go. We probably had 20+ players on our board that we rated higher than Irving at that point.But how the hell did we know Kosi would last another 14 picks?
Pretty much we didn't believe Mozzie was in the top 75 picks, so if any bid came in the National Draft we had no interest.Why would Wrighty signal that?

.....because our recruiting staff are more objective and sensible than that.you don't signal it to the Drug cheats ...you say we will much and hopefully they don't touch him then we pick him with pick 90...what are we a charity to the Drug cheats ?
I know the draft is crammed full of kids with unknown potential, but I feel this one's gonna bite us. Good luck Irv.
Stop being the voice of reason HedgeFund, it’s easier for me to blame another club than our own!.....because our recruiting staff are more objective and sensible than that.
Maybe to call his bluff and put some doubt into his head that we don't rate him that high.Why would Wrighty signal that?
Essendon list manager Adrian Dodoro said they were determined to not let Carlton recruit Silvagni with a later draft pick.Hawks don’t do sentiment. Dodoro tried to milk us going early like he did with SOS’ boy a couple years ago. We didn’t blink.
Good luck to Mosquito. He has the coolest name in the football and seems a great kid.
We didn't lose the Shiel deal to Essendon. We withdrew due to cost. If there is such a thing as losing a trade then Essendon lost the deal to GWS by paying 2x 1st Rounders.I know this is all major speculation at this stage as the season is still a while away but here I go.
We lost the Shiel deal to Ess. & then turned all our energies & picks to acquiring Wingard.
Ess. paid for Shiel with a 1st round pick & future 1st Rounder. They got Mozzie with their 2nd rounder.
We got Wingard for our 1st Round pick + 2nd Round pick + Burton (= 1st round pick ) I'm not going to worry about the swapping of the late future picks as the're futile & meaningless in this exercise.
I like the addition of Wingard, but feel we payed overs & that bolded pick would of helped us acquire another quality kid into our system.
Not saying we should of used it for Mozzie but the're could of been another situation of us trading down etc.
I just feel we should of kept that 2nd Round pick & that this years 1st & Burton was adequate.
Also having just won the VFL flag, usually means great depth at your club. For some reason i'm still skeptical in this area.
It was a fantastic win by the boys, but do remember they got their by the skins of their teeth.
I still see holes in all areas around the ground & unless a lot of improvement from they guys we have put faith in I see us treading water or even a decline from last year.
Essendon have gained two players Hawthorn were not interested in paying the same price for. That's fine by me, and even more so when we land a bunch of players who are both arguably better players and fit more of a need.I know this is all major speculation at this stage as the season is still a while away but here I go.
