I't also being shown for subscribed international residents on watchafl.afl.com.au I believe The_Wookie

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Wake me up after the first hour, pick 67 is a long way away

Is there any way to stop bigfooty from crashing on draft day? The huge internet traffic on bigfooty on and during the draft usually makes the site impossible to use.

 

[The_Wookie]

I think we went ok last year from memory

 

[WWSD]

We haven't had two live picks inside the top 20 since 2005 when we picked up Grant Birchall (pick 14) and Max Bailey (pick 18). If we can land a key forward and key defender with picks 15 and 18 in this years national draft I'll be happy.

We'll have twice as many Gerbils running on the treadmills to keep the servers up.

 

[JD Tomahawk]

Is it free to stream it on the afl live app?
If not it will be on afl live radio through the app for free?
Should be on free 2 air by now

Most boring tv event there is. Better off waiting till the end of it and going through it afterwards

Could say the same thing about an AFL match. Why bother watching it when you can simply check the result afterwards.

 

[jenny61_99]

Disappointed our picks 9 and 13 won't actually be picks 9 and 13. What a ****ing debacle this new points system is. Have the AFL ever managed to not **** things up?

 

[FAITH]

we will be fine, we should get a couple of top players.
