FF - Gherig
Kennedy has been selected.Wow.
I honestly didn’t think I’d have these options at the next pick, as I seriously considered these 3 for the Hall pick.
I listed out a list of about 300 players and found that KPF was by far the most scarce list/commodity so I decided to prioritize it after the Judd pick.
The toss up is between Josh Kennedy and Fraser Gherig. Both dual Coleman Medalists, JK a 3 x AA vs Fraser as a 2 x AA.
I think most people would lean to JK, but I’m the opposite.
It’s down to personal taste, so my pick is Fraser Gherig.
One of the best athletes to play the game, unbelievable power, speed and agility for his size. He was basically Charlie Curnow before Charlie Curnow ….if you added 15kg’s to Charlie.
He still holds the AFL powerlifting records. He still holds some AFL 20m sprint records for KPP’s.
Fraser has a goals per game average of 2.75 if you remove his seasons played at full back, which is above Hall and ranks him only just behind Buddy, Fev and Lloyd.
An absolutely alpha dominating presence, I found too hard to pass up the prospect of having Hall at CHF and the G train at FF in a very intimidating tall forward setup.
Picks to date:
C - Judd
CHF - Hall
FF - Gherig
Reason I didnt pick Gherig is it took him 10 seasons to break out. His best was the best but not enough of it
Ive got a massively underappreciated player coming up. Probs will miss out on my mid tho.You guys have picked just about every player I wanted for my next pick! I thought Aker might slip through too.
Bastards!!!!
whatwhatsaywhat is next?
Ooh.... a few picks before you get that opportunity...Ive got a massively underappreciated player coming up. Probs will miss out on my mid tho.
I reckon Ill round out with a couple of players I like.
Think Im safe.Ooh.... a few picks before you get that opportunity...
I think we might have the same player in mind.Think Im safe.
Got a current player I think is the most underrated player in AFL to pick up later
By the fans that is.
He was one of 4 on my next list.Wow, have I found this selection hard!
I had two A tier key forwards left 3 picks ago and thought I was safe, which REALLY suited my strategy/structure.
Unfortunately, both Gehrig and Curnow were taken in the last couple of picks and I perceive there to be a big drop to the next best.
The strategy once that forward slot was filled was to then focus on the midfield, but in going a round earlier, I notice all of my "S-tier" mids are now gone, meaning I really would have been happy to start selecting mids next round.
I've had a real wrestle selecting between a few players as that next level (A -tier) mid. I tend to prefer guys whose career has completed (as you don't know what's to come for still competing players) but I have ignored some highly regarded and credentialed former players in favour of a current one.
My rationale is that 5xAA is the highest of all midfielders left and my chosen player is a 4xAA with plenty of years left. He is also more unique in being more of a bull and a greater ability to impact forward of the ball.
With that long into, with pick 43, Hawthorn selects Christian Petracca
(Now can someone tell me they would have chosen him next as I have some discomfort with my pivot and am finding being smack bang in the middle of the draft hard as every pick has the maximum number of picks until my next selection)
I mean he wasn’t my preferred pick but he’s on the shortlistWow, have I found this selection hard!
