Game Day Draft Day 2020

[blackshadow]

Let’s face the facts whoever we select with our 1st and 2nd pick MUST MUST MUST play Round 1 no excuses the supporters must have something to look for mind you even it’s a 5pm game in WA against the Eagles or Dockers

Rubbish.

It would be nice but it's not essential - if for example we've opted for a KPP they may take time to develop to where they can handle the rigours of AFL football.

If we draft Hollands he may not be ready to go post ACL until later in the season.

Yes it would be nice to see early debuts but it's far from essential. We're looking at drafting 10 year players - not R1 2021 players.

I'll be interested to see if one of the top 5 slides tonight.

 

[blackshadow]

Then don't have a national competition......

WTF are you doing in our game day thread? Go get your own!

Doubt they would slide far. Essendon with 3 picks in a row and list holes bloody everywhere would be all but guaranteed to snaffle them up.

Let's hope none of them are any good.

Sorry guys
I know it’s been asked before...
Is pick 1 announced at 7 or 7.30?
I need to open our little club room for the lads and don’t want to miss the start.

So is there video coverage of the live draft on afl.com.au? That's how it reads on the website.

 

[the flying ham]

He never said he wasn’t willing to go anywhere. He has been completely misquoted as usual through the media.

The only thing he did wrong in my view is saying “he wouldn’t perform at his best” if an interstate club picked him. You can’t be saying that if you’re entering a national draft. I have absolutely no problem with him saying he would prefer to stay in Vic, good on him for being honest in that regard.

It's a national comp, its draft tampering. If you dont want to live away from home, dont nominate.

That said, the high draft picks that turn out the best tend to play almost immediately. Judd, Martin, Hodge, Goddard, etc all played 15+ games in their first year.

The Essendon bid for Campbell coming at pick 8 is the giveaway.

No it’s not. He was asked what his preferred option was and it was to stay in Vic. If he gets picked up by an interstate club, he said he would go. If he was refusing to leave the state I would agree with you, but his not.

Let’s not pretend he is the first kid to say he would prefer to stay in their home state. He is just one of the first who had the balls to be honest.

Theoretically 7pm, my guess is 7.10pm. They usually have interviews for each draftee but not sure if that happend this year given it is a remote draft.

So have people started the Kangalotto posts for Hollands yet?

 

[The acurate one]

McDonald just looks like a shitmen

 

[The Lone Latic]

I kinda want to go watch Draft Day now and hope we **** on someone during live trading (hopefully *) when someone cracks under the pressure

If prior to the draft you provide commentary about not wanting to leave your home state, it is. Trying to undermine the draft to suit your own personal gains. Absolute clear cut.

The absolute toys out of the cot routine would be well on display on here if we were into McDonald and he said he only wanted to play in WA.

I have (told clubs he wants to stay in Victoria). I hope they take that on board. I get that they do what’s in the best interests of their footy club, but I just think personally I’m not ready for that in my stage of life and I feel it would impact me too much,” he told Whateley.

I don’t think it would be in their best interests as a footy club to have me there because I wouldn’t be 100 per cent with it if I was going over there and couldn’t really commit myself 100 per cent as opposed to staying here where I’d be 100 per cent ready to go and fully committed.

I just don’t think I’m ready for that and I wanted to be honest about it.”

Yeah, just stating a preference NJ
