[Mr Meeseeks]

So there is a break between rounds 2 and 3 and the Swans take the full 5 minutes, there are failed trades which run for 10mins, then they still do interviews with pick 42 like anyone cares. Honestly what an awful broadcast.

Its a draft. It isn't supposed to be a production. The families and friends of these kids want to see the interviews following the biggest moments of their lives, that is more of a priority than keeping the masses engaged.

I dont want this s**t being compromised so people get a better tv show.

and Zac Taylor and they almost slid to the exact same pick in their respective drafts.

 

[Jimmy#17]

Taylor and Draper gone 2 picks in a row.

The afl are the ones dragging it out.

 

[GinniAndTonic]

Fejo jr please

Get the feeling the scum will take him.

 

[Pessimistic]

Draper house has nice architecture

 

[Scrads]

Fejo jr please

I can still remember his name coming up for the first time many months ago out of nowhere. From then, got a consistent mention every now and then. Would be unreal if it then eventuated this way!

[Baz_hawk]

Can't seem to fast forward to our pick on Kayo..

 

[Messenger]

I switch back over and Dodoro is on screen.

 

[VandoHawk]

Fejo Jr and Long is the dream

 

[Pessimistic]

There’s another Alistair Lord?

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Aaron?

Didn't really screw over Geelong considering they gifted them a 3rd for next year for 2 spots in this year's 3rd round.

 

[Hawk the Talk]

Can't seem to fast forward to our pick on Kayo..

Just go to bed and set your alarm for 3am

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

The afl are the ones dragging it out.

Are they though? Occasionally an interview runs a few seconds over but who has a genuine issue with seeing a young id being interviewed at draft night?

Otherwise, clubs are just using their allotted periods. Im not really sure what they could change, clubs would not accept shorter times for each pick and nor should they.

Folks are just impatient

 

[Pessimistic]

Aaron?

This s**t is already comprised and we're getting a crap tv show.

I can 100% confirm they do. Literally ask clubs to take the full time for drama. Can’t blame them for everything but they are stage managing most of it.

If it is such a bad spectacle i don't get why people don't just turn off and follow the picks on twitter.

It's 9 on a Thursday night, i sure as s**t don't have anything better to be doing.

Doesn’t it make sense to take your time and see if someone makes a stupid offer?

 

[Scrads]

My prediction is we'll pick a complete unknown that hasn't been mentioned!

I'm enjoying the coverage! Love Cal, Nat and Riley.
