[Lingsface]

Not bad.

Thought he'd've been picked up later on.

Fantastic get.

Getting close to being my all time favourite Don is Zerrett.

Me too one I really wanted next pick.

 

[Lingsface]

Some great selections.

Luke Jackson for me.

The Unicorn. And will be solo ruck - none of this role sharing rubbish.

Write up later.

Kane Cornes will be happy with that.

 

[Mr Meow]

If reggie responds soon I think we're a big chance of sweeping right through to my next pick by the end of the night.

Does anyone have his emergency contact's details?

Yeah he has been a bit distant today so could be a speed bump here.

Failing to check BigFooty before bed would be criminal.

I'm in Perth so it's early here I need a few minutes to catch up and then will pick

Legend!

 

[reggie]

Quicker than I thought, I need a defender and had three in mind and they are all available.

Tricky to decide between them but I'll go with...

When McPharlin and Presti went I knew Bolton wouldn't be far behind. Great choice. Underrated player outside of Sydney.

 

[reggie]

Now hurry up you lot and take your picks so I get a second pick tonight

 

[WilloTree]

My order of famous rick or rickys in the world.

1- Ricky Ponting
2- Rick Flare
3- Ricky Grace
4- Ricky Martin
5- Ricky Nixon

I'd have Rick Moranis at 1 and both Ric Charlesworth and Rick McCosker in there.

At least that you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake.

Ooh, RUNVS won't be happy. Bolton is close to his favourite ever player and I'm certain he thought he would be available later on (hence going Taylor first).

We are picking based on performance up to date, not on potential are we?

We are picking based on performance up to date, not on potential are we?

My understanding is that we can project. I'm going to be picking some current players at some stage in lieu of proven players because while I've missed out on some elite key players there's every chance we will get one in the current lists

Exactly what I thought too, hence the HR pick.

So, who's going to bump this thread in five years claiming the bragging rights??

 

[Lingsface]

I have already written my picks eth-dog please don't pick the same

 

[Purple7x08_24]

So, who's going to bump this thread in five years claiming the bragging rights??

Well the guy who took Luke Jackson is already on the money.

 

[Mr Meow]

Personally this early into the draft I'm avoiding picking players on projected value. Daicos I think is already proven, HR less so even if as a first year player you'd be shocked if he wasn't a gun.

But overall I'm happy to (mostly...never say never) stick with tried and true and highlight some under appreciated players from the past 30 years.

I think there are players in the current system who are outperforming past players. I've got a few in mind. Some have played 50 games, some 150.

Daicos (gone) and Sheezel (available) are the two that standout for me around 50 games. Taking Reid, Darcy etc. is where I'd draw the line.

Undoubtedly Gulden, Serong and Butters will go soon - probably fair enough. Walsh as well as a more mature player but still in his prime. All established so not what I'd count as "premature" picks projecting too much. I mean these are AA-certified players.

It's pointless pretending there's secrets and excluding the names, we aren't 5 or 95 year olds.
