Welcome to the closest thing we have to AFL Christmas!

New players overflowing with potential for your clubs, all destined to be superstars - what a superdraft of players this season.

We'll be doing our best to keep up with any live trades that go down over the next two days as we follow all the action from about 6:30pm Eastern Time

Any late rumours or whispers are welcome here.

It's kicking off!!

 

[getgaff]

Personally I’m buying more into the hype regarding McAsey at Adelaide’s first pick before they try and maybe trade up for Dylan Stephens using 22 and 23.

 

[RUNVS]

I am calling it now. Sydney won the draft.

 

[Wayne Swan]

I am calling it now. Sydney won the draft.

Wrong, Dododoro always wins the draft and trade fortnight

Interest in live pick swaps, when tied players get bid on particularly Green, how far an ACL will slip Kemp down the order.

 

[Smithy7]

I am calling it now. Sydney won the draft.

Oh right..
Port picked up 3 good players with their first 3 picks 2018, and they played AFL, one was 2nd in Rising Star.
Port have 3 first round picks again 2019.
So what's the bet that Port might do it again lol

Surely they’d need to put their future first as a minimum to get up that far in the order

God I hope so the guy is no good..

If Freo land young henry and kemp they win the Interweb for 12 months

Are they really doing the split day thing again [emoji2957]

Not sure ill be able to sleep between Draft Day 1 and Draft Day 2 - i wonder which players ive never seen play or never heard of we will pick.......the suspense is killing me!!!!!!

 

[Procrastinator35]

Just round 1 tonight, so all of Brisbane, Nth.Melb, Essendon,Coll'wood, West Coast & St. Kilda fans, will have absolutely nothing worth watching…..Other than seeing who is left over to pick from the carcass in 24 hours time.....Best of luck in trying to shake loose a trade into the First round guys.

Well done to all of Gill & the AFL hierarchy, you absolute nongs....You've effectively alienated a third of your own supporter base by this absurd decision, on the biggest night there is, so far as clubs futures are concerned.

but, but, but, America do it.....

and a recent survey says AFL fans enjoy this setup etc........(has anyone ever done an AFL survey for the shit they bring in and then pat themselves on the back for?)

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

I am pretty sure Carlton will make a bid on Henry.
Freo still very nicely placed though, them, The Suns and GWS have the strongest hand tonight.

 

[Mofra]

"Can't believe he slid that far"

Just getting in early.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Anyone willing to make the call that no one is trading out any first rounders?

 

[Northernsoul74]

We’re linked with trading if certain players are around our pick 13.

 

[Neale4brownlow]

Even when we finally get to Day 1 this is dragged out... start time of 4pm AEST.

Bit over it all tbh. Can't understand why AFL think we care about this that we want a month of conjecture followed by 3 days of drawn out posturing?

 

[DangerSloane]

Personally I’m buying more into the hype regarding McAsey at Adelaide’s first pick before they try and maybe trade up for Dylan Stephens using 22 and 23.

Wouldnt they do it the other way?

From what I understand Stephens more in demand. So pick him first and trade up to get McAsey?

 

[DangerSloane]

While you did very well, winning the draft from the strongest position isn't difficult.
Not taking away from the 3 very good kids you got, but just saying 3 first round picks will give most teams the W

Well if your supporters are more obsessed with draft night than your club attracting a quality player, then really the problem lies with you, not the AFL.

Here's an idea...petition your club never to trade their first round pick out and you wont have the problem?

They want an NBA style draft night.

The issue, and the only thing stopping it being like that, is that nobody knows who these kids are pre-draft.

In the US these guys have been playing college ball (or more recently in professional leagues around the world).
Everyone knows what these guys offer.

As AFL fans, unless we keep up with the U18s like some of us do, we have no freakin clue who this kid is or that kid is.
We can say all we like which one we'd prefer, but largely we are clueless.

Their highlights hold no relevance either as we don't know who they're playing against or with.

 

[DangerSloane]

Your user-name is so passé.

Kenny Loggins will never be out of style.
Aren't I glad Sloane signed on!

What time does the actual draft start (as opposed to the pre draft waffle) - ie what time should we expect to hear Matt Rowell’s name read out?

It is supposed to start 7:30pm so I would guess maybe 7:45pm at the earliest.

Correction. 7pm so I am guessing 7:15pm at the earliest.

 

[Taylor]

Prepare yourselves for a five minute minimum period between picks to allow for highlights, interviews and footage of families hugging.
