But from your lounge room you can't yell out "vexatious bid" when a club bids on an academy player before their time just to make an academy club pay overs! Be great viewing at home to hear that yelled out but probably be kicked out for doing it

The American drafts are much more entertaining to watch when the hometown crowd dislikes the player drafted and begin booing lol
Now that would be awesome to watch if it happened in our draft system too.

You can watch a game on tv and see it at the same time as the crowd
So what if people want to get their footy fix at an event that hasn't been in town for 18 years

For those going enjoy the experience and I hope to hear your thoughts after the event. Could be a snore fest but if your a draft fan or just interested in how it'll go especially with the new points and live bidding system I say go for it. Free of charge as well.
If it was on the Gold Coast again I might have flown over for it but not going as far as Adelaide.

You can't think of being hit by a bus? Or you considering going to the draft worse than that? Get some imagination happening mate.

Yep, and now the player they were all booing is playing probably second best out of the draftees behind no.1 pick KAT.

It was good to have the cheering from the Port and Crows fans.

Was too drawn out for my liking, stayed until the end but it was a bit too much
Good on you for sticking it out. The first 30 picks or so went on forever, looking back it was probabaly due the the fact that the clubs weren't in an open floor plan and each senior coach had to toddle to the lecturn and announce their player. Fans were a bit hostile on Gil going up and down from the podium as well.
I liked the fan interaction side of it but where there were cheers/ jeers from SA fans when the Crows and Port picked.
Word of note: They can certainly cut the time a lot shorter in 2016!!!
And have it in WA next year
