2016 Draft discussion

[pulpdriver]

Are there any horse socks?

Dont think Andrew McGrath will make it in the AFL world.
His wrists are very similar in size to Hugh's.

Hugh McCluggage and Andrew McGrath are the chief contenders for the Dons' No.1 pick

Ainsworth here.

Same and also wouldn't mind Taranto. But I'll be ok with Clugster

Just a quick one. We'll keep all discussion on the draft to this thread. No need to start a new one.

And just for everyones sake, you have a right to be disappointed and to express that disappointment but can we try and keep it in check and not go over the top. It will make draft night a whole lot better for everyone!

The coverage hasnt started on the afl live app for me, I thought it started at 6:30, is it the same for everyone else?

It has begun on fotxel.

This feels like a shitty seminar at the moment.

Yeah i've just got crappy re-runs of the velvet sledge-hammer and the most punchable head in Australia (purple headed warrior) talking smack

Why aren't you giving the talk explaining how all the bidding works? You're the unofficial BF specialist.

I've not commented on this yet - but I'm impressed with the ability of the posters on this forum to fill 100 pages with Ainsworth vs McLuggage.

Based on what I've read and watched (no football), if McLuggage is available we should take him. He's been touted as possibly the best player in the draft multiple times. We could certainly do with bringing in the best midfielder in the draft. McLuggage has the potential to be a future brownlow medalist.
Ainsworth is exciting and can find the goals and will probably move to the midfield in the future, but I'd rather have a midfielder who can go forward, than a forward who can have a run through the middle.

Is the coverage on the AFL Live app does anyone know? I was hoping it would be but at the moment it is just old videos of Barrett and Lloyd reviewing each clubs season 2016

It will likely go live when they actually start the draft. At the moment they're just talking about previous drafts and other stuff.

Huddo has a restraining order.

Pick 21/22 going to be a let down IMO.

 

[AFLQLD]

Has anything actually happened yet. Everyone just sitting around waiting.

Reminds me of waiting for my kids to be born.

Ok thanks Elixuh. I'll probably cancel my subscription if they don't have coverage of the draft considering it is the only thing worth watching over the off season on that app.

The coverage has started on the wartchafl.com.au site, but just talking crap from the venue.

I've got the cricket on my iPad, the draft on my wife's iPad...and pretending to work at the same time...

It's times like this that I feel more comfortable with my "investment" in Foxtel

There will probably be a bloke we pick at one of these picks that was expected to be a late 4th round selection or something.

I think it will come on at 7pm AEST, because during the year it only came on 10 minutes before the first bounce and the draft starts at 7:10. I would assume it is the same here.

But then you see Kane Cornes is 1/4 of the panel and you're like, hmmmm.

I want Gil to suddenly stand up and announce that they were only joking about Brisbane getting PP at 19 and the real PP is before Round 1!!! Surprise!
