Pretty sure it starts at 6.30.

I read that only the AFL stream would be operating tonight (no Fox Footy), but that seems mental...

more importantly, when does part 2 of the NAB infomercial start?

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Kayo has it starting at 7pm

 

[RX Hawk]

if Richmond liked someone and 23 and said here is 28 and 29 do we say yes or ask for a future second instead?

Why bend for their need? I would do 23 for their future FIRST only.

 

[Since 2001]

apparently 40mins til first pick

 

[2OLD 2SLOW]

Sonsie + Goater is still theoretically possible

Freo: Johnson
North: Motlop/Draper
Cats: Knevitt
Cats: Conway (apparently very high on him)
Hawks: GOAT

All this and I got tickets to Timeland.
Am I in Heaven?

I'm with you - would love the Goat with pick 26.
I think some are under-rating him on the back of a few butchered kicks in the metro/country game.
I get the impression he is a favourite of Shifter Sheehan, who suggests his kicking is actually sound (just gets over-excited when he puts on the after-burners).

The plus column is pretty bloody good ... super athlete, clean hands, quick thinker, good in traffic, good spatial awareness.

And what did Sam say ... elite attribute/s ... we can work on the rest.

Not a bad motto for a pick 26.

Are they doing the whole draft tonight? It's going to be a long night if so.

What's his height and weight?

All but the rookie draft. Much less fanfare for these rounds though once it gets started.

 

[TDS7]

What's his height and weight?

190 cm 79kgs
Or what I call “The Dangerfield Zone”

 

[Braidz]

He slipped because he had two games where he was absolutely gassed. There was talk of a niggling injury that he then sat out a couple of games for and never hit his stride. There's a bit to worry about with his tank, but nothing that makes him anything less than a steal past pick 20.

That’s what the pre-season is for. Build up that tank young fella

wake me when it starts.

Bloody snooze fest of rubbish before it begins.

I was wondering how the draft profiles treated Danger, Fyfe even priddis Kicking prowess

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Haha it is a bit. But its also November, who cares? More footy chat is fine by me at this time of year...

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Thought it started at 630pm, wish I knew it was 7pm as I would have had time to wash the dishes.

Yeah, there won't be the concocted 5 mins between picks for interviews and other stuff.

It will just be picks and trades.

 

[Toasted]

Any inside word on the next 10 picks?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Any inside word on the next 10 picks?

They're going to be selected tonight. You heard it here first.

 

[theiaofseed]

Any inside word on the next 10 picks?

Johnson, Motlop and Sonsie if no picks are traded should be the next 3.

 

[Since 2001]

personally I think Johnson is a massive flight risk

Sheahan has about 150 favourites every year.

 

[Braidz]

Well if he is and turns into a good player we can demand a first round pick for him

Thanks Lingy

Freo knocked back our attempt to trade up to 21, according to Twomey (via bombers poster).
