That’s the end of the first round

That is the end of the first round of the AFL draft.

It went for 29 selections because of the bid-matching for academy and father-son selections, it would have otherwise been closer to 19 picks.

Tomorrow night will be the remaining rounds. There are technically seven rounds (six tomorrow night) but most clubs won’t need to go beyond the fourth round as their picks will have been traded away or not needed.

Ryan in shock after joining Crows

Oscar Ryan didn’t expect to be drafted and had to be tapped on the shoulder by Crows coach Matthew Nicks to come up on stage and be presented with his jumper.

He can’t wait to join the Crows.

“This is a massive shock to me, I’m so grateful to the club for putting trust in me,” Ryan said.

“I didn’t make Vic Country last year. I worked my arse off all last pre-season and it has paid off.

“Four of us from the Bushrangers were picked this year.”
