I was thinking round 15.....but seriously good pick. I'm lucky to have lasted out with Curnow tbh.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)

Still Taylor Walker, Gunston, There will be guys like Larkey picked up later. I'm thinking for balance you need some young players for the X factor, or the unknown.
EDIT: lol Walker just got picked up I hadn't seen it.
Glenn was a performance enhancing footballer, whil Alan was more recreational.
I think we might have the same player in mind.
He was one of the best by position in the modern era imo
Not sure. We shall see. I'm 100% set on my next player. Absolute gun. Probably well recognized here, but in the wider community forgotten.
The guy currently playing is definitely underrated by the wider AFL community but not within the system. He would be well recognized by opp coaches. He nearly never gets talked about but is top tier.
So pencil in Dan Houston and Heath Scotland.

It might be 18 years too late, but the Collingwood Football Club have revisited the ankle x-rays and given the all-clear.
With that, with pick 48 in the 21st Century Draft, Collingwood select Steve Johnson.
516 goals from 293 games;
3 x Premiership player;
3 x All-Australian;
Norm Smith Medallist.
He switches jumpers in the 2011 Grand Final, and Collingwood are premiers.
I see him as a unique player who can go into the midfield and rack up 30, or park himself on a forward flank and have 20 and 3.
Amazing player and would be a great bloke to have a beer with at a premiership reunion.
I was so close to getting STEVIE - You can get Fadged!It might be 18 years too late, but the Collingwood Football Club have revisited the ankle x-rays and given the all-clear.

You weren't getting himI was so close to getting STEVIE - You can get Fadged!
That sort of helps.You weren't getting him

Where are these graphs coming from?If this player doesn't get picked up soon, I'll be very surprised.
In Orange. Blue has been selected already

Reggie is going to be offline for a little bit and has sent me a preference list.
As such, with pick 49, Cappadocia selects....Dane Swan.
(which in my opinion is a pretty good slider - and the retired player I referenced in relation to my tough choice to go for Petracca instead).
