Twomey mentioned on his podcast last night that Edwards is now leaning towards nominating.

Hope a club takes a punt on Nathan Freeman.

Got a lot of talent and deserves another crack at it (just hope his body holds up)

Who's going to ruck for each?

 

[Obeanie1]

So can we confirm what the order is for the mid season draft?

I am sure I read on the AFL site that it is the reverse order of the ladder at mid season.

Then today the journo's are all debating who North and Hawthorn will pick with picks 1 and 2 on the mid season draft.

So which way is it?

Makes sense for a reverse order because the mid season draft is about topping up contending teams to cover injuries / retirements.

Its reverse order.

 

[Obeanie1]

Its reverse order.

That's what I thought. Thanks.

I should have just assumed the full time AFL journalists were nuffies who don't actually do any research on the topic and they are pretending to be "experts". So the normal, shallow journalism we have become used to.

...North and Hawthorn currently hold picks 1 and 2 in a reverse ladder order. Sure, that might change over the next couple of weeks but in the mean-time they work with what they have.

I don’t see the big issue here.

North and Hawthorn are probably a reasonable chance to be bottom in 3 games time.

Huh?

The question was who gets the 1st pick in the mid season draft. The journo's were debating who North and Hawthorn would pick with picks 1 and 2. That assumes the order is the same as the end of season national draft, last on the ladder gets 1st pick.

But it is the opposite way around for the mid season draft. The team on top gets 1st pick. Which is what I thought was the case.

The AFL journalists don't understand how the mid season draft works. That was what the issue was, journalists printing opinions based on misunderstanding the rules.

So the discussion actually should be who would Melbourne and the Dogs pick with picks 1 and 2 in the mid season draft.

EG: Brisbane would be taking pick 4 or 5 in the mid season draft, not pick 13 or 14.

That all.

EDIT: OK I totally barked up the wrong tree here. I'm off to give myself an upper cut.

Lol reverse order means the bottom team gets first pick.

You have got it completely wrong.

Maybe I misread then.

Michael Knoll for SA

Corey Gault and Lachlan Delahunty for WA.

Can you imagine being on top of the ladder AND getting the 1st pick in the mid-season draft...

What an uproar there would be. lol

 

[The Filth Wizard]

I thought the MSD was reverse reverse order and was wondering which team Jacob Edwards would draft first.

 

[briztoon]

Maybe I misread then.

Yes you did.
