I’ll make tears from your Wines.
That's why it's in Adelaide this year.
Though with Port probably sans picks, you'll have to make do with the clack of needles. But the booing will certainly be there.

You mean to tell me you people don't spend hours talking crap on footy forums (and I do too) and you don't want each draft pick with a short highlight video, the occasional interview and a bit of analysis of every pick? At least for the first round?
These are the future stars of your club. Outside the games it's one of the more interesting aspects of footy. I'm surprised people aren't keen to have it highlighted, even if it drags on a bit.

Hopefully SEN will still have the draft live.
Foxtel have been woeful in the past with their coverage.

It has to be an improvement from what it has been. Makes it exciting for the people who care so good on them. Now we just need a draft lottery like NBA and we'll be good to go.
I agree - surprised at the lack of interest here. I'm not massively into it, but I read the threads on our board about the potential draftees and it can be interesting debate. Having Emma Quayle and maybe a couple of others as analysts would give some insight I'm sure.
I'd probably tune in, and I imagine a decent proportion of bf posters would too.
I'd go further.

They should get that short bloke from Family Feud:
"We surveyed 100 of your supporters and asked them who you should draft next?"
Obviously they don't know, that's the whole point! But they have their options prepared and adjust their list as the names get crossed off, and select their best of what is still available. Just doesn't strike me as interesting television since, as said earlier, it doesn't matter to me who they pick it's still some kid I've never heard of.
They said on SEN this morning that the way the draft works this time around is that clubs won't be in a central room, but, using software with drop down boxes and Champion Data are kicking in with an Are you Sure? Alert for each selection. Wouldn't that be fun to see on the screen!

I heard all 18 clubs sit in big chairs facing away from the stage while posts from Big Footy about the draftees are read out. The clubs that want the player who is being described simply push a button in front of them and their chairs will turn around. If more than one club turns around then the draftee has to go to the club with the highest remaining draft pick.
I don't understand why people genuinely think it's ridiculous that a side that's never had a #1 pick would get one, whilst a side that's had 3 of the last 10 gets another one and its fine

BT: Oh this kid is a big boy wowee hes 199cm and built like a brick outhouse. Great selection by the B-B-B-Brisbane Lions on that one Derwayne.
Derwayne: Right on BT, If you've just joined us, according to the scouts this kid is crazy good. A big guy with the ability to kick goals from outside the paint, a great ability to read the chaos ball and loves to kick a low spear.
Bruce: You just get the feeling he's going to be a really good player boys, dont you? Ohh cyril ohhhhhhhhhh

Will there be a commentator saying about pick 61 - Wayne Carey type and pick 64 - models himself on Nat Fyfe?
Will Bryan Adams be singing?
the draft on TV is like watching an audit being televised.
really an event that can be followed on a PC or the phone. wheeling kids out in new club polo shirts, as they cut to a shot of proud parents in a country town hundreds of k's away, doesn't make for that riveting an event.

Some would find that interesting.
The same people that find going to AFL club training interesting.

If you dont like it, go and watch 5th tier country footy. TV is where the majority of the income comes from, so stop whinging.
"Carlton........J.............Weitering, Pick One"
" Brisbane............J...................Schache...........Pick two"
