Confirmed broadcast format.

Countdown 10-1. Red button will allow you to watch every pick live without the Fox commantaters talking in the background.

And it is apparently a AFL decision to go with the countdown format, not FOX.
Awesome, thanks mate.
 
This may be a stupid question, but, can you listen to SEN in Brisbane? If so, what's the frequency? If not, does anyone know of a radio station that will cover the draft live in Brisbane?

can you record the normal commentary and watch the live selections?

if so i might do that.

i know some arent that interested but id like to see it extended and have more insight into the players, not everyone, but after each round go through the bolters, sliders and surprises, and just give those watching a run down of their performance and show some highlights

and then when the draft is done, have a show that spends at least 1 minute looking at each individual player, the show will go for no more than an hour and a half
 
Just copy the NBA format and force the clubs to wait 5 minutes between picks, allowing expert draft watchers to discuss each player and show highlights. Then in round 2, give them 2 minutes to make the selection, the maybe do rounds 3-6 in a clump...

You have to show pick 1 FIRST and moving forward, it allows "experts" to discuss, who is the slider, who is top of their lists... So much better than the current reverse order structure.

This is the best way to combine "Suspense", Highlights and discussion. Trying to do it by counting down is just stupid.

Would be even better if we had a huge crowd of different supporters cheering and booing in the background like at the NBA draft :D

Don't forget the Brownlow Count. They totally ruin any suspense by re-ordering the reading of votes so the winner's match gets read last each round for the last few rounds of voting.

It was apparent Swan was winning this year's medal with ages to go, simply because they kept reading Collingwood game votes last. FFS, rushing through every other game and then pausing 5 seconds between initial and surname of the eventual winner is not a way to build suspense!

Or AndyD rushing through the first 10 rds like they mean nothing so he can dramatic pause when he wants, just run it 10 mins longer & read it out at a legible speed so we can actually understand what your saying.
 
Anyone know when the actual draft occurs, not just when the coverage starts? Safe to assume half an hour later?

My thoughts were 6:30pm for a 7:00pm start to the actual draft. Not 100% sure though so if anyone can confirm this, it would be appreciated :thumbsu:

The coverage starts at 6:30 adelaide time, I guess there will 15 minutes of chatter, so it will probably commence at 6:45 adelaide time (7:15 EST).
 
Is SEN definitely following the draft? How come it has The Run Home as its program? do they do it during that program?

From SEN's twitter:

Our team has arrived in Sydney to bring you all the action from the #AFLDraft tonight.

Anyone know why SEN wouldnt work for me? Keeps coming up with "ready" I then click play, it comes up with "connecting to media" then goes back to "play".

If I go to Nova937 or any other Perth FM radio station it works fine

Strange as it was working for me through trade week

5 minutes x 18 picks per round x 4 rounds = 6 hours?

Ripping viewing!
