Live Event 2013 NAB AFL Draft Discussion - Now open!

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Well, there's no Stringer this year and it appears that our likely first selection is going to divide opinion - however, it's sure to be an exciting night regardless. Last year's thread is probably my favourite thread ever, so let's hope this year's is just as good. The thread will be opened just before the draft begins.

To commemorate the occasion, I've compiled a selection of the best tears, rants and celebrations - as well as the just plain weird - from last year's thread. And no, I'm not safe from ridicule.

Enjoy.


The night began with hype; we had a pretty good idea that Stringer - BigFooty's love child - would be selected with one of our picks and there was a general buzz about. For 100action, that buzz took an interesting form...

the hair follicles on my balls are absolutely tingling with excitement!, I've never had this feeling before, WOW!

And for others, that buzz converted into aggression for, well...not much reason at this stage.

i HATE Melbourne. Bloody cheating dirty mother $%@#!*&'s.

I suppose the excitement has different effects on different people.
While some struggled with learning the ins and outs of Foxtel...

What did Dunstall just say about a red button?!

When do I click it? Lol.

Don't do it, I pressed the red button once and my box started smoking

Is clicking it a good idea or not? You gotta help me out Dan! I didn't even use the extra n's!

Others voiced their disapproval at the AFL's dictator:

First pick just got pushed back to 7:53 on account of Demetriou's fat head.

And some of the others, well, the less said the better...

I'm a Stringer-phile.

Finally, the draft was upon us. It wasn't long before our first GWS hate message was upon us, too.

GWS need to be raided by other clubs offering their players huge money and just stripping them of all the good players.....

And then following their third pick, somebody's face became all but a memory...

I said I'd eat it if Plowman went at 3.

... Which just happened.

Brb eating face.

And here's a summary of the draft so far for those playing at home:

So for the reconrd.

**** GWS
**** Melbourne
**** GWS for additional hatred and asshattery

But the angst wasn't to be for much longer, as our two picks were next - and with the first came much excitement from one of our mods...

STRINGER!!!!!!

Igloooooo!!!!

YESSSSS! **** **** YES!

Igloo is now cleaning up his mess.

Igloo hands out your pants pls

Igloo screen went white just then

Sadly, Macrae didn't get much of the same treatment.

And Macrae. Happy about it too. Welcome aboard boys!

Poor form Igloo. Here's GrandBlue to show you how it's done.

**** YEAH MACRAE!!!!

Unfortunately, our next pick wasn't for another 15 selections. While we waited impatiently for the next pick, some entertained themselves by making additions to their "teams to kill" list...

So Which clubs do we hate the most?
Most Hated:
Pies (they always suck)
Adelaide (they stole our flags in the 90's)
GWS (f*$%ing lucky p's)
Melbourne (cheats)
Richmond
St Kilda
WC

Others, well...yeah everyone did the same thing.

**** COLLINGWOOD! s**t!

Kennedy, Grundy and Broomhead.

Oh eat a bag of dicks Colilngwood.

Eventually it got to our pick, and it was then that the meltdowns began...

NOOO!!!
NOO!!!
NOOOO!!!!!
!WHY
WHY
BULLDOGS
</3
NO ONE TALK TO ME!

hrovat
another inside mid -.-

inside mid?!? do we need another one?!?

We have yet another inside mid... lol.

Bloody hell ....... how many midfielders does this bloke want. Hasnt he heard of players that can run like Cooney and Griff!!!

Getting a bit tired of "crack in" players.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, Igloo eventually solved his Foxtel woes and managed to press the button.

Dannnnnnnnnn I managed to push the red button. Foxtel pro.

What a champ.
Some people were just catching up...

My reaction when Stringer was called

And others were yet again spending their time abusing everyone possible.

**** st kilda rustles my jimmies, 10 minutes to make a choice on each pick.

**** you St Kilda!

FU SYdney....aggghhh so close

Come on Sydney, why did you have to be that guy?

**** you Melbourne taking Kent!!!

It was time. Our last pick had arrived. Membrey had been taken, so most of the cheerleading was for Garlett. Imagine their disappointment when we didn't take him. Little did we know that we had actually selected the Messiah.

We took Prudden...who?

Prudden da **** is that

Great, an unknown..

Anyone know about Prudden?

And finally, our annual "who???"

Gimme a break. Another nobody

Who da f is pruden

The initial phase of confusion was soon blown away by a sweeping sensation of anger, following Prudden's unmasking as an inside midfielder. And boy did it provide some enjoyable rants.

Here we go ............ an unknown, how unusual for our club!!!

And guess what he is ........ another damn inside midfielder. FFS

he's an inside mid. HA HA HA HA

lol another fckn inside mid

Prudden inside midfielder they just said - faaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrkkkkkk

Thought we might learnt from our experimenting with "who's" in the past. But the coach probably trawled through the list looking for another inside mid. He hasn't got a clue that a team needs players with other skills.

Bet he's a "quality young man" though!!!

Whats quicker Watching paint dry or our midfield

Uh sorry we do have pace

His name is Howard

But at least one person was looking at the glass half full...

At least our annual who? came in the third round instead of the first.

Yet again, it was time for our pick. Many of us had no idea what to expect, and when a mysterious player named "Pass" was selected, confusion ensued.

Who the **** is Pass?! He better be over 194 cm. FFS

Hear he is another inside mid.

Then it was time for some predictions for the future.

enjoy our draftees

Commentary 2015 Grand Final

Dogs have come back from the dead with 9 final quarter goals - 6 by Stringer

Bombers still hanging on to a 5 point lead -- 12 seconds left on the clock ball bounced Little Libba drops it on the boot diving mark

PPPPRRRRUUUUUDDDDDDDDDDEEEENNNN

65 metres out ........ siren goes ... surely he cant kick it from here

The kids walked back to near Centre Wing ........ he's backing himself

He's going the Torp !!!!!!

LLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

... As well as a few more "taking the piss" posts for good measure. Hey, they were better than the inside mid arguments.

"Okay so guys we want you to look lovingly into another player's eyes and pretend like they've just said something really, really funny - that's it Jake, perfect, giving him a bit of a shoulder massage, love it...Joe can you maybe make your head a bit bigger? It looks out of place. Great smile Ollie...Sam what the **** are you looking at, your shoes can't be that great."

Must have been a good joke. Jimmy's going to Melbourne yet he's still laughing.

And the celebrations clearly started early for at least one person.

i happy with dra ftt

And I think we'll leave it there. Hopefully this year's thread is just as much fun and just as insane - and cross#4 we expect more drunken posts.
Enjoy it guys.
