Official 2011 Draft Day Thread

[Mavlions1961]

Just posted on the AFL Draft tracker by Michael Tormey re any surprises after the lockdown:

As always, there are some some surprises in there - can't say too much more than that.

25 minutes grrrr

 

[cotter101]

the lockdown is over we have our first lions player ... but who?

Pattton?

I'm hoping Wingard(despite what my friend told me), Buntine or Tomlinson at 8

Who is the best to listen to for coverage ? Not familiar with the interstate radio stations

I followed the tracker last year and listened on SEN...they weren't too bad !

 

[Grimreepah]

5aa is from Adelaide.

Probably not ideal, but it's working so I'm not swapping.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Yes! Chalwell!

I've got the 2011 tracker up without a problem. Starting to get anxious now, can't wait to find out who our new kids are. Can not imagine how it feels for the kids ! Even though the top 15 know they are getting on an AFL list somewhere, just to find out where you're going to end up would be nerve racking.

How? Mine is still coming up with the 2010 version? Did you get it up from the AFL website?

I have always listened to SEN, but 3AW have started earlier & so far doing a good job. SEN normally have an expert eg. Shifter/Leon Harris sothis maybe better.

Not sure what to do myself - record it on Foxtel/watch it live & forgo net coverage, or just listen on the radio. In the past I have listened to SEN as their coverage has been far superior than TV on Foxtel (which has been very poor).

Being here is half of the fun - especially when there is a suprise selection.

Just clicked on the link on the afl main page.

 

[Happy_Neale]

Yes! Chalwell!

Huh?! How did...who did....what?

I just went straight to the AFL website and clicked the draft tracker graphic and its working.

Try holding shift and clicking refresh.

try this. Or you could use a proxy server.

 

[chopperduck]

Apparently the entire first round is preselected now !?

either shift+f5 or ctrl+f5 to dump cache and reload page depending on your browser.

Going to give Fox Sports another try this year....but if there's no red button option then its back here.

 

[dlanod]

Funniest thing so far -face painting with the most popular selection a Ben Cousins stomach "tattoo". A dozen matching began kids...

 

[Hollow Knight]

Yeah, they did that last year too.

Then they got the recruiters to basically read out 11-25 again "live". You'll notice there were no pauses in that 11-25 range. That's why.

 

[cotter101]

Apparently.

 

[chopperduck]

FFS...WHY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why do they keep screwing with things !

 

[Voss the boss]

just thinking last year the tracker was ahead of the radio (well it was for me)- just a heads up if you want the excitement of the radio

 

[chopperduck]

What is so wrong with having a normal draft, normally read out by the clubs, as selected, in normal order !!

 

[loyallion]

Yes! Chalwell!

edit..

If not I'll listen to SEN or 5aa.

 

[Voss the boss]

They were saying for quicker viewing on the tv

 

[Bobby Beecroft]

Clearly some suprises per posted by TBD in the 1st Round per the Draft tracker. Phelan saying he is still taking the 1st round in.

Now saying some suprises late in the 1st Round - is 8 late in the 1st round?
Anyone want to have a crack?
