Competitions AFC Board Draft Game 2019/20 Main Competition Thread - Now with Poll!

[Crow_68]

Hits, misses, gambles and steals - Rounds 21-25

Hit 341) Danger in Texas - Mason Redman (Essendon) - I like this kid. Has something about him.

Steal 344) deaneus - Rory Atkins (Adelaide) - gets a bad wrap on our board. Outside players tend to be maligned generally.

Hit 347) Donkey Magoo - Riley Bonner (Port Adelaide) - building a decent career

Steal 349) Danger Zone - Jack Henry (Geelong) - rising star of the comp IMO. I had him last year... I always tend to go a year early on these guys.

Gamble 350) FAITH - Ned McHenry (Adelaide) - love the look of him but this is a new, unknown selection panel. Will they be as risk-averse as the last lot?

Hit 353) Mego Red - Ed Richards (Western Bulldogs) - looks an absolute beauty. Has done his time as small forward, would expect a more prominent role in 2020.

Steal 354) 1990crow - Callum Sinclair (Sydney) - a #1 ruck in Round 21? Outrageous.

Gamble 356) ShadeyP - Hayden Young (Fremantle) - feel that this is a smart risk.

Gamble 357) Freddy Bassett - Izak Rankine (Gold Coast) - no doubting the talent, let's hope durability doesn't become an ongoing issue for our boy

Miss 362) Mego Red - Pearce Hanley (Gold Coast) - cooked. Phoning it in for a pay cheque now, dreaming about home.

Miss 364) Crow_68 - Fischer McAsey (Adelaide) - we'll never pick a rookie tall

Miss 368) Donkey Magoo - Paul Ahern (North Melbourne) - don't reckon he's any good. Never shown anything.

Steal 369) skam85 - Cam Ellis-Yolmen (Brisbane) - could be a key member of Brisbane's midfield. Reckon we'll have egg on our faces after this one

Miss 370) roo2macca - Tory Dickson (Western Bulldogs) - he was done 3 years ago

Miss 373) Coopers - Nathan Jones (Melbourne) - see Tory Dickson

Steal 374) Danger in Texas - Sam Powell-Pepper (Port Adelaide) - would have gone 2-3 rounds earlier if he wasn't from Port and 4-5 rounds earlier if he also wasn't such a dickhead

Hit 376) Coopers - Will Brodie (Gold Coast) - perfect timing with this selection. He's ready to go.

Miss 378) deaneus - Aaron Hall (North Melbourne) - a dud who coaches soon lose faith in

Miss 381) Donkey Magoo - Paddy Dow (Carlton) - having picked him last season predominantly based on his draft position his performances genuinely made me angry. Why did I trust SOS? An absolutely ******* woeful footballer.

Hit 382) Scorpus - Adam Kennedy (GWS) - easy money for Scorpus. The Giants' endless injury woes guarantee 22 games here.

Gamble 386) Pilchard_Adams - Rory Thompson (Gold Coast) - coming off an ACL. Worth the risk I reckon

Hit 387) Mego Red - Tom McCartin (Sydney) - low profile but impressive signs in 2019

Hit 388) 1990crow - Josh Thomas (Collingwood) - always bobs up with goals and touches

Miss 390) ShadeyP - Tom Bellchambers (Essendon) - this guy sucks

Gamble 391) Freddy Bassett - Max King (St Kilda) - a teenage key position forward coming off an ACL at a lowly club... long odds here.

Mystery 392) Freddy Bassett - Jarrod Cameron (West Coast) - new category. I've never heard of this guy

Hit 393) ShadeyP - James Rowbottom (Sydney) - reckon this is a beauty of a selection. Showed plenty last season and at a time the Swans will be looking to regenerate their midfield.

Gamble 398) Crow_68 - Shaun McKernan (Essendon) - does anyone ever know what Smac will produce?

Steal 412) deaneus - Jordan Gallucci (Adelaide) - he'll be a good player. Losing three absolute morons from our selection panel can only help his career.

Miss 414) skam85 - Gary Rohan (Geelong) - has played permanent forward during his career in two extremely strong teams with potent midfields and never gets the ball. Was awarded a lifetime achievement award in Moffra's most recent Bottom 50. Is hopeless.

Gamble 418) FAITH - Jack Higgins (Richmond) - coming off brain surgery

Miss 420) Pilchard_Adams - Jamie Macmillan (North Melbourne) - Was handy but he's done.

Hit 421) Mego Red - Oscar McDonald (Melbourne) - solid pick up at this stage, especially with Sam Frost going to Hawthorn. I actually thought he was gone and was ready to delightedly point that out to Kristof when he picked him. Oscar McInerney and Oscar Allen threw me.

Steal 425) Freddy Bassett - Peter Ladhams (Port Adelaide) - he'll play significant games I reckon. Has done his apprenticeship.

Well at least I made the list this time, even if it is a miss and a gamble.....

Like Quaynor, I liked what I saw from John Noble. Looks like he belongs at this level and I suspect he will start to replace Mayne in Collingwood's line-up.

deaneus

That’s a really nice pick. Mate.
I’m so happy for you. Mate.
I had hoped that he would last. Mate.

 

[skam85]

Brandon Starcevich

the gentleman part of me didnt take Noble from roo2macca

so now it’s you deaneus

 

[Scorpus]

Donkey Magoo you're up

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Bobs up with goals whenever I've watched them

He only scored 9 goals last season so he's not an overly prolific goal-scorer.

 

[Donkey Magoo]

Slight punt time
Nakia Cockatoo, in Geelongs best 22, was close to coming back at the end of last season. if he gets through preseason I have a top 10 BnF.

If.

 

[Scorpus]

Pick 450 - Mark Hutchings (West Coast)

Danger Zone

 

[Danger Zone]

Pick 451 - The Angry Leavers select Braydon Preuss

Has apparently shed some weight and is looking really fit in a bid to play more this season. Gawn is my number one ruck, so at least if he gets injured my emergency will play.

Smart pick the big Preusster .

If.

Good pick. Plenty of evidence to show he will get through a full pre season and play 22 games.

 

[FAITH]

How long do I have?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

How long do I have?

Time was up at 11:54am

Crow_68 can jump in anytime

Tension in the air!

Who'll get in first?

 

[Crow_68]

Taken by Sydney as a DFA to fill a key-position role, think he will take over from the previously selected Lewis Melican .

Pick 453: Kaiden Brand (SYD)

Pilchard_Adams

This is difficult all I see is:

 

[Pilchard_Adams]

Pick 454: Jayden Laverde from the bombers. I think this bloke should get games. Question marks over Daniher and cant see young Smack having his break out season just yet.

Mego Red

 

[Mego Red]

So, this guy will play 18+ games. Since Scott Thompson retired, they only have Tarrant as KPDs. Very good signing as a delisted free agent.

Josh Walker, NM.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

1990crow you're up, unless FAITH can think of another Crows' player

 

[FAITH]

1990crow you're up, unless FAITH can think of another Crows' player

I can't lol

Give me a bit to decide. You guys keep picking.

 

[Pea Nut]

Players really don't slide at this stage of the game do they.

 

[Donkey Magoo]

Good pick. Plenty of evidence to show he will get through a full pre season and play 22 games.

Also, I had just gotten home from town and knew that I was going to time out if I didn't do before i went to sleep.
I fund some gems, then forgot who they were.

 

[FAITH]

pick 452 - Dylan Clarke - Essendon



Showed some impressive signs late last season.

Should be top best 22 for them.

 

[Deaneus!]

Slight punt time
Nakia Cockatoo, in Geelongs best 22, was close to coming back at the end of last season. if he gets through preseason I have a top 10 BnF.

If.

Remember when this guy was talked up incessantly? Three years later, crickets. I don't even remember who he kept being compared to.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

1990crow hasn't been on for a while

Has until 2:32pm to pick

 

[Donkey Magoo]

Nope, for my last pick, I had given John Noble to Scorpus as my preference as I was going out but my "mate" Macca picked him.
