Hot off the inbox, u on the AFL media list?

Dont think there were many suprises at the draft,perhaps the seleciton of Cloke to Carlton was a minor suprise but there have been rumours for the past week or so that he would go to the Blues.

Shh TonyK - You're giving away our secrets! Haha!

Yeh no real surprises, Kingsley a slight surprise for mine... Mal Michael was a surprise, but we knew about that weeks ago.

The draft has lost touch with reality the way it is done these days, it is never exciting.

Yeah, the national draft is usually pretty interesting, but pre-season and rookie drafts usually takes only ten minutes.

Agree, Kingsley was a slight suprise, although he has been training with the Tigers for the past mth, admittedly Wallace gave him no guarantees.

Quick question, if you dont mind me asking. was it hard for you to get on the AFL media list?

Yeh! The late word was Kingsley was going nowhere, good on him though - in the era of young guns, it's good to see a veteran get a second chance.

John Barnes and Essendon in 2000 a classic example of when things like that go right!

I get the media list through work so it wasn't hard I guess, you have any dramas Tony?

Hey,

Yeah left my other job Footygoss. they took issue with the fact that I was running AFL Central even though I wasn't being paid by Footygoss.

So, now obviously off the media list and trying to get back on, not overly sure how to go about it

cheers

tony

p.s. hoping to restore afl central to full working order in next day or so. also acquired footydraft.com which will be working on soon to and revamping.

PM me your e-mail address and I can make sure you are added to the AFL media list.

Glen.
