Game Day DAY 1 LIVE - 2018 NAB AFL Draft - Round 1, Thursday 22/11 12PM AEDT

[kreglze]

I think every pick is going to take 5 mins.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Bloke looks like he had to eat a shit sandwich

 

[Boxhead_31]

Why did Fox have to put David King on draft coverage?

 

[Magma]

alright so it looks they're drawing it out so everyone can ramble on.

woo.

 

[raffrox]

Yep, each club needs to take 5 minutes.

Painful for no reason.

 

[V_23]

The five-minute period is mandatory.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Well coming first at anything would be a shock to them

They came first at winning the spoon. No one finished last ahead of them.

 

[ok.crows]

Why Carlton took all 5 minutes to make that pick too is beyond me.

From the AFL Draft tracker:

"For clarification, every club needs to take five minutes between picks tonight. Carlton wasn't building suspense - it had to wait five minutes before the AFL took its selection."​

 

[Oscarman]

Great pick Suns

 

[Jibroni]

At least GC didn’t muck around.

 

[dean33]

Poor kid, could barely crack a smile. Can't recall a less excited reaction from a number 1 pick..

Cmon there have been other shocked and shattered number 1 picks, Marc Murphy, Bryce Gibbs, Matthew kruezer, weittering...

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

What a stinking pile of shit this is.

Just get on with it.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Jack looks happier being picked at number 2 to go to the Suns, than what Welsh did being picked by Carlton

 

[Barnzy]

The draft gets worse and worse every year. Why not give clubs 5mins but let them pick straight away if they’ve already decided? I guess not much logic at AFL house.

I’ll be back in an hour and a half when it’s our pick.

 

[Andrew Birch]

From the AFL Draft tracker:

"For clarification, every club needs to take five minutes between picks tonight. Carlton wasn't building suspense - it had to wait five minutes before the AFL took its selection."​

but why would the AFL want to make it really boring on purpose?

 

[bigfarter]

From the AFL Draft tracker:

"For clarification, every club needs to take five minutes between picks tonight. Carlton wasn't building suspense - it had to wait five minutes before the AFL took its selection."​

Does that mean only that a club must wait 5 minutes between picks or that EACH club has to wait 5 minutes after a previous club's pick? As in, there will only be 12 picks in the first hour? That would seem insane.

 

[richoatthedisco]

Gee, was the bloke from NAB not expecting to be on TV tonight? Bloke looks like he just rolled out of bed.

Probably on the run from the law.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Lukosius will be back in Adelaide playing for either the Crows or Port in 2021.

 

[Jeffers]

Harbrow just left him hanging on the stage lol

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Jack’s reaction **** do I really have to stay here 2 years

 

[Chaisa]

From Cal Twomey on afl.com.au

Yuck. Terrible move.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Inb4 it's becuase Fox demanded the 5 minute for dicussion

 

[kaiserchief13]

From the Eagles? What will WC get from GC for him?

 

[jjsmitty8]

Surely GC are taking Rankine with 3. Otherwise it’ll be bye bye Lukosius in a few years

Edit - big chance it will be anyway

 

[RUNVS]

Jack looks happier being picked at number 2 to go to the Suns, than what Welsh did being picked by Carlton

If Brisbane were a little worse he would be heading to his dream club right now.
