AFL Draft Day Foxtel Coverage

[East Freo]

Excuse my ignorance here.
Not having Foxtel I have gone on their website to see what time the live coverage is on for next weeks draft.
It says 6.30pm.
Now I expect this to be the Eastern States Time.
So one would think that it is therefore on here at 3.30pm.
Would I be right in thinking this or are we going to be served up a delayed coverage.
Please forgive my scepticism....

That's correct

Yep, Foxsports 2 at 15:30 AWST.

I really hope it's on in real time, ie
with pick 1 the Melbourne Football Club select player number ................
with pick 2 the Melbourne Football Club select player number ................
with pick 3 the Richmond Football Club select player number ................

Then have the profiles after the last pick.

I just cut the sport off to save some money until footy season...I ahve a bad feeling it cuts off on the 26th

Real time?

The top 10 is supposed to be reverse order so that Adrian Anderson can beat one out.

Cheers all....love an excuse to be on the couch instead of at work.

As for the reverse order tripe....has to be the worst thinking ever to come out of AFL House....& that is saying something.

Not wrong there - maybe not a big impact in the big scheme of AFL, but I've not heard anyone who likes the idea, not a comment suggesting it's a good way to go, and yet they went ahead with it. Idiots.

BTW, I know I could find this out somewhere but I'll be lazy and ask here - I believe SEN are broadcasting it via radio/web? Can anybody confirm this?

 

[dominguez]

What's the deal with that reverse order nonsense? The ten clubs will make their selections from 1 to 10 behind closed doors but they'll be read out and made public from 10 to 1 a bit like David Letterman??????????

I listened to the draft last year so I'd say that will be an option again this year. Can't recall which station but I assume it was SEN.

 

[silverscope]

Draft will be on SEN.

I want to know If i can watch it online. Otherwise I'll just have to radio and watch the afl draft thingo that shows all the picks.

Bigpond had it on line the last few years. One of us will have to do some homework and find out.

Easy done.

No Online video coverage sucks balls... espically because I'm not going to the pub to watch the draft..... guess I'll have to listen online.

I found this as a footnote from here.

Log on to afl.com.au on D-day, Thursday, November 26, for the most comprehensive coverage of the 2009 NAB AFL Draft. We’ll have live chats, live audio streams, in-depth player profiles, club reaction and our famous afl.com.au Draft Tracker.

As for the reverse order rubbish its once again AFL only caring about the media and changing everything to suit them.

How about the AFL has faith in its game an tells the stations either take it as it is or leave it No more rigged fixtures etc but no that will never happen there too greedy need to change everything to suit tv so they can get abit more $$$

Next they will do what the NBL has done and change qtr lengths to suit tv schedules and fit it into a 2and a half hour broadcast instead of a 3 hour broadcast.

oh yay lets change the way drafts are done an do it countdown style to umm build tension coz everyone is always hanging off the edge of their seats to find out whats number 1 in a countdown.

Well done AFL/media you really thought this one through geez gonna be so hard for everyone to know whos getting picked by who after you get down to about7th or 8th pick.

I'll try to log on from my mobile phone (from the draft room) and tell you what each Freo pick is, if that would be of any use??

You are probably better following Foxtel though - more reliable, and I might confuse "Freo Pick X" with one of the waitresses table number placemats...

Last years draft thread on this board went for 20+ pages and I won't be able to get to the computer/TV until around 7pm WST so will have to follow the draft on the very slow internet on my mobile so could someone who gets in early in the new thread on Thursday possibly update their first post with all our picks?

Only 20 pages?? Geez you lot had no commitment last year.

Hope you show more dedication this time round...

There's only so many times you can hear Dom say "Ballantyne? Wtf?"

 

[pinkus maximus]

I hope the AFL site streams it like last year. I tried listening to SEN and all I could hear was Andy Maher talking over the selections

 

[dominguez]

This year you could get 30 posts along the lines of "Jetta at pick 4, f*** me" or "Denis Lane at 20, what a f***ing joke!!!"

 

[Split Personality]

Dammit I finish work at 3:30..... I suppose I could stay just to have the faster internet, but um...... no. Looks like my reliance will be on your posts BPG!!!!

Dom I'm with you, if either of those turds are picked by Freo it would be embarrassing.
