Some interesting comments:

Hi Razzle, it appears that GWS are going to pass on their pre-season draft picks, so Bevan might be out of luck. We'll find out in a couple of minutes.

Most of the clubs are participating in today's drafts via the telephone and internet. The club representatives are dialing in from their home bases, although the Giants are in the building at AFL House.

I'm guessing GWS are not obliged to utilise all the spots on their list next year.

The live blog is all over the show. Who did Richmond take?

Nope, they are allowed to have a list size of 44-50 next year (same as the GC this year). They only have to start reducing their list in 2015, unlike the GC who had to start their's this year.

Clarke it is.

 

[POBT]

Justin Clarke!

 

[POBT]

This pick is exactly what the rookie draft should be about.

 

[PattyKwasagun]

We just had to have a Clark on the list. Couldn't go from a Clark and Clarke to nothing at all.

 

[POBT]

Onya Tom Bell - off to the Blues

 

[dlanod]

Broc to Hawthorn!

 

[POBT]

Broc to the Hawks - surprise!

 

[dlanod]

And Wrigley to us. One of the trainers with us, right?

 

[POBT]

Interesting selection that one.

And Wrigley to us. One of the trainers with us, right?

Correct.

We're up to pick 30 in the rookie draft and I have to laugh a bit - I think there's only been two from the poll taken so far (Hall at PSD pick 2 and Frost at rookie pick 1).

Absolute lottery, isn't it?

 

[Cousin Jed]

we've got 1 more pick then Newell right?

 

[acuguy]

you would have to assume Wrigley is seen as a ready made footballer able to slot into the back 6, more insurance for the move of Hanley into the guts?
