Two matches in round 24 for Essendon and Gold Coast.

Something like:

Thursday night (21/08)
Essendon vs Carlton

Friday night (22/08)
Port Adelaide vs Gold Coast

Wednesday night (27/08)
Gold Coast vs Essendon

Is what I’m imagining…

Talk about seize your moment with Tom Edwards!

It would be a big decision if Essendon doesn’t sign him after that 4 goal performance.

Looks like he’s never seen the inside of a gym in his life so a fair bit of upside there as well.

Mitch Marsh is an absolute liability. Can’t play in Sydney, don’t care how good of a bloke he is.

I combined 4 draft experts top 50 and created a consensus rankings.

Top names left in combined expert rankings to look for at 37:

Jobe Shannahan 20
Jack Whitlock 22
Hamish Davis 26
Alex Dodson 27
Christian Moraes 30
Tom Gross 31
James Barratt 32
Angus Clarke 33
Kayle Gerryn 34
Noah Mraz 35

I’m generally against the Americanisation of Australian sport, but I’d much prefer AFL draftees rock up to draft night in some of their own kit, rather than all wearing slacks and polos from their junior teams. Look like a bunch of bottle shop attendants.

“Multiple sources believe the Bombers have been working the phones hard in recent weeks to set up pre-draft trades to execute live on the night.”

Another really interesting article regarding the AFL Draft.

In general I find the ABC’s coverage of the AFL underrated. Certainly less sensationalism and hyperbole regarding Essendon.

An interesting article for those that follow the AFL Draft.

For Essendon, it has a bid coming for Kako from Richmond at 12. St Kilda expected to bid on Leo Lombard (Gold Coast) earlier but, “are not expected to make a double academy bid”
