I've searched high and low, but for some reason the actual starting time of today's draft is never listed.
Does anybody know when it starts?
What's the best way of watching/ listening to it?

Re: draft time ?
The telecast (do they still use that word?) starts at 6:30pm but I'm sure they'll go through all their spiel so I reckon it will be after 6:30pm (maybe 6:45pm or 7pm) but I can't find that anywhere either.
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”

Re: draft time ?
On 7 news sport last night they said "in about ten minutes from now tomorrow we'll know the number one draft pick is".
I presume it starts at 7pm!

The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
When I was a young child, I knew that I knew so much about so much.
Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

Re: draft time ?
GET IT RIGHT
We traded away our first rounder this year for a first rounder next year plus an early and a late second rounders this year.
Get these two picks right and that trade becomes magnificent, get them wrong and a massive opportunity is wasted.
It may seem easy to get picks right in the top 10 but it is damn hard to do at picks in the mid 20 and late 30s.
Get them right and you win big time.
With the benefit of hindsight pick no 1 in 2000 was not that hard to get right
Pick No 2 well O.K., I'll say it.
Kosi was never worth pick No 2.
Then in 2001 we had picks 2 ,5 ,13, 21, 37
That draft produced 5 Brownlow medalists.
Not one of them was ours.
O.K. Ablett was claimed with a father-son pick.
But 2 of the remaining 4 Brownlow medalists should have been ours.
Chris Judd, Dane Swan, Jimmy Bartell, Sam Mitchell have all won.
Instead we got Luke Ball and Xavier Clarke.
We lucked in with Dal Santo and Montagna.
Who didn't luck in that draft.
But with those first two picks we could have had two of Chris Judd, Jimmy Bartel, Steve Johnson, Sam Mitchell, Brian Lake, Matthew Boyd, James Kelly and Dane Swan.
I don't care if we got nice guys, that is not what the draft is for.

Yeah and all those guys may still not have had a premiership at St Kilda under Grant "No defence" Thomas and Ross "No attack" Lyonace wrote: But with those first two picks we could have had two of Chris Judd, Jimmy Bartel, Steve Johnson, Sam Mitchell, Brian Lake, Matthew Boyd, James Kelly and Dane Swan.

Any chance of ever holding the draft in Melbourne?
