I obviously still need a ruck. Then a forward. Maybe I'll round it out with another midfielder and then an all round utility.

 

[whatwhatsaywhat]

damn! typical crom, ruining everything...

this is what i get for doing a late night selection...

i'm going with my alterna-strategy that will become obvious then, and picking jacob van rooyen

i truly believe he's got the capacity to be one of the best key forwards in the game for the next decade, and is the best forward prospect i've seen at the dees since jesse hogan

Careful. If you ask RUNVS then Hogan did not burst onto the season, and instead took a decade to become "a solid player".

hogan was our best forward since pre-knees schwarz

sigh... i still miss him

oh well, hogan = may + sparrow = premiership

 

[Purple7x08_24]

Not sure how this'd go but, next year, I'll wanna do a 19 club mock draft with 44-46 names each for it to take place over 2-3 months here.

Do 1986-present plus 1981-82.

The thing with 1986-present is, with research, do not pick up players who debuted before 1987 (from the 1986-present era) but 1981-82 is a free for all.

Ive set up a cricket draft in the cricket forum if anyones keen

I never said he was a bad player, just that he had a few too many down years for my taste.

 

[Guardian Hawk]

Hi all.

I'm going a versatile big man to fill holes, give a chop out in the ruck and create mismatches in the forward line.

One of the few players to have 100+ hitouts and 30+ goals in a season, and he did for 5 straight years (averaging 37 a year)!

Then spent less time in the ruck late and had multiple 50+ goal seasons. Can play back too and roost a goal from 70+

Plus Hogan was way too Jekkyl and Hyde and inconsistent in his early years. When he was on, he was unstoppable. When he was off he was invisible.

given my next selection.

I'm going for a small defender with my next pick.

Reading up on Ken Fletcher a long time ago and him talking about his links to wars past, a familiar name was mentioned in this article in the AFL RECORD.

The familiar name was Ken's 1st cousin 1x removed and, thus, Dustin Fletcher

's second cousin.

Francis Cawley is the link between the Fletchers and this guy.

Playing 194 consecutive games from debut and only managing another 29 more, welcome aboard JARED CROUCH.

 

[ArdentEagle]

Okay - I'm back from my convention and hung over AF today.
Always good when the suppliers want to spoil you.

Now ****ing hurry up so I can have my pick.


Thanks to purps for submitting my picks while I was gone.

I wanted Stiffy as he had everything I was looking for. Quick, highly skilled, one touch and versatility and a bit of x factor.

as my 2nd tall defender....I think people might have forgotten just how good he was.
Absolute rock in defence who almost never his colours lowered...Even playing on the biggest names.


My team is fap worthy thus far

 

[RUNVS]

As the positions are almost all filled out now the decisions are actually getting harder.

 

[Guardian Hawk]

This was my next selection well done to you.

Obviously I ended up going more of a forward ruck in Rocca as it suits my structure a little better with Cox capable of rucking all game and a slightly smaller forward line but I gave serious consideration to a pure ruck still available that would dominate ad a 2nd ruck.

He was All Australian, won multiple B&Fs and was arguably the best ruck in the game for a period.

Adding pace and pressure to a forward line that already has 2 of the best pressure KPFs in the game is going to cause defenders a headache.
Also good overhead for his height and an exceptional shot on goal.

A guy with a simple goalkicking action.

Walla makes it easy so why not emulate him?

I'd say being unstoppable even in some games was an incredible effort in that Melbourne side. Plug early days Hogan even into your current side and his goal tallies would've been exceptional. They were still strong.

Really like that midfield, is Mitchell Tom or Sam?

If it's Sam that is just about the best midfield selected in this thread.

Ah nah it’s Tom
Still not a shabby player though
Was voted AFLPA MVP which Sam never was

I am not 100% sold on that defensive unit but I do love the forward line, ruck/rover lines.
