Few trades happening as we go along

[GVGjr]

It will be interesting to see if North go for Walter at pick 2 or 3.

Colby McKercher - Pick 2

[G-Mo77]

Why do these dickheads take the full time for selection? They know who they want, just take them.

Pick 2 North select Colby McKercher

[Testekill]

I will actually lose my shit if North doesn't bid on any Suns academy player.

[Grantysghost]

Why wouldn't they make the Gold Coast pay for Walters Norf?

This is where I think the entire system is open to manipulation.

Back room deals.

It's sad. I bet they're under a bit of pressure to drag it out.

Marketing for one. Great message to sell supporters.

Pick 3 - North go for Jed Walter. and the Suns match it.

[Grantysghost]

Ok they did it. I'll take off the tin foil hat

Marketing for one. Great message to sell supporters.

Marketing is understandable if you don't bid at 1, big difference like when GWS just so happened to let the obvious number 1 in an open draft in Daicos slide past the pick they got from Collingwood while bidding for Darcy.

It's the broadcast. In the NFL, my team the Detroit Lions have got in trouble 2 years in a row for picking their first rounder too quickly.
