Is it going to be televised now that footy's back on 7 as they always used to before. For me this used to be the only time i'd turn the TV on during those dreary months where TV is dominated by the Spring Carnival and Bathurst.
whats the date for draft day?, why dont they make it draft night... hehe jk
I doubt it. Like last time the rights changed, rights to broadcast this draft go to the current rights holder, which is still Nine/Ten/Foxtel
You might remember that Seven spat the dummy at the last changeover and decided not to cover the draft, and no-one else could because they were still Seven's rights.
Probably Ten will still do their draft wrap-up.

Will the AFL stream it like last year? I had trouble getting on and was forced to listen in on radio station via AFL site.

I don't see why you'd need to watch it, listening on the radio is good enough isn't it?

Yeah it was terrible last year. Real shame. Here's hoping we can see it live this year.

Just listen to it on SEN 1116 or afl.com
Hardly enthralling television!!

and no-one has ever since! i wouldnt mind just watching it via the AFL site but like others i've had problems logging in the last couple of years. which leads you to believe that there is enough interest to warrant a live coverage by one of the networks.
