Our family was looking forward to watching the draft on foxtel. However, we may as well as just turned SEN on, because of instead of covering the draft, they interviewed Tom Scully, his mother and discussed other issues. No offence to Tom Scully or his mother but I am not really interested in seeing them being interviewed while the draft is on live. Shame on you Fox Sports. Absolutely disgraceful coverage and completely useless.

Really?? You want to watch the draft??

I thought the only people who watched the draft were the families of a potential pick.

All respect to you! Shame on Fox Sports also!













*still cannot believe someone would want to watch the draft*

They should introduce some theatre/sound effects into the draft coverage. Ask all the budding draftees what their favourite song is, so when the player is announced -

Joe Bloggs- Eastern Tigers

The audio could play his favourite song like they do in the cricket. When Shane Warne came out to bat for one dayers 'Video Killed The Radio Star' by 'The Buggles' was blared over the public address system at the Adelaide Oval. Bellerive Oval, MCG etc.

Well you could do that with the draft. Even better if one bloke in the draft's favourite song was 'Because I Got High' by Afroman. That would be a pearler if that came up- even better if this bloke was drafted by the other team with west in their name. I have this tune as a caller tone for a mate of mine. I was sitting in the train some months ago when he rang me- I got some funny looks on that train when 'Because I Got High' filled the carriage and I eventually got it out of my pocket and answered it. From that day on I make sure my mobile isn't in my pocket when sitting on a train- just in case this same bloke rings me.

yeah I agree with Caveman.

In fact maybe the whole draft should be like the WWE. All the draftees have to make grandios statements about how "I'm gonna smash the hell out of the opposition next year, I'm gonna be the man who bring the Premiership Cup to Fremantle!"

Then Andrew Demetriou and FFA cheif Ben Buckley have a cage fight!

Have some Americans in the audience and when some player is announced

Joe Bloggs- Eastern Tigers

Rex Taxpayer- Northern Blues

the septic tanks could yell out like they do at the golf

'Your the man'

like they do when Tiger is teeing off

or

'Your not the man'

when Tiger isn't teeing off
