For those interstate or overseas who want to listen to the draft online, here is a link for SEN: http://sen1116.conexim.com.au/sen1116_16.asx Simply put that address into your browser and it should open up listening online through media player. Just a tip though, get on early as SEN are known to have trouble serving a huge audience.


Here is the link for the Draft tracker: http://afl.com.au/draft/index.htm


I will reopen this thread from around 8am tomorrow morning and will close the other draft discussion thread at that time also.

It appears that Rich could be available as late as pick 11 according to some reports. I wonder if we would overlook Vickery or Hartlett and take Rich if he was still there at our pick.

Looms as an interesting first round.

I'm pretty sure we're going to go Vickery over Rich if he were to be available.

Personally, I'm happy with that.

I'm pretty sure we'll get Vickery(if he is there) but if Rich is there I'm expecting our pick won't be taken in 10 seconds, there will almost certainly be a discussion about taking Rich instead. We could be in a situation where we have to make a choice between 2 top 4 rated kids. Can't wait.

 

[tiger taskforce]

vickery great another kpp with 26 best available with 58 & 70 sounds like a plan

 

[Yellow n Black]

surely we can't pass on rich if he is available

looks like we will be getting hislop as well...hopefully with pick 70

 

[one eyedtiger]

Personally I want Vickery if he is there but if Rich is still available at our pick no doubt it will be discussed. Whoever we pick-up will be a gem.

Hopefully the player we end up taking ends up like Selwood overlooked for others and then turns out to be the best player in the draft.

 

[The Cotch]

Hislop looks certain to be a Tiger, personally I'm wrapped. With pick 70 we have nothing to lose.

Vickery, Suban/Post, Crumbing forward and Hislop would be awesome.

Is the draft televised anywhere?

 

[_RT_]

Don't believe it is, haven't seen anything on Foxtel saying they would have a review show on Fox Sports. They will be showing it live on the draft tracker though and will probably repeat it from the AFL site later today.

Listening via old technology, i.e. have the radio beside the computer. Open up the draft tracker and click on Live Audio it should open up to the SEN coverage.

Cameron was on SEN just then and said if Rich falls through they will have to think about taking him. Also gave a nervous laugh when asked about Vickery.
