[Jen2310]

I’m fine with that - really want to support the bushfire victims but happy to have our squad off the deck.

lions will be praying for a safe trip with about 5 up for selection

Yeah. Pies have 4 who will be selected (Grundy/Howe on Allies, Sidebottom/Moore on Vic) It'll be stef martin v Grundy.

Tom Lynch selected as well.

 

[Camsta]

Tom Lynch selected as well.

great! - hope he does an ACL

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Rather not have any more injuries, its rigged anyways Vic's always win

 

[Sunny_]

I am so stoked for Dave. It's gotta be him right? He deserves the absolute best. He will love playing with and being around star players.

That said if Dave gets injured I might just cry myself to sleep for the next season.

You'd think so. Him or sexton? We'll know lunchtime tomorrow.

 

[Jirik13]

My bet is Sexton. Plenty of midfielders to choose from.

 

[The Victorian]

How on earth does Darcy Moore get picked?

 

[kreglze]

Sexton or Harbrow my guess.

 

[Jen2310]

Lachie Weller was the one who was chosen.

 

[Supersuns]

weird choice

 

[kreglze]

Ehh don't mind it. He is a good player with legit pace, there are a few players in those teams that I find weird.

 

[Jen2310]

weird choice

not surprising, he was also chosen for last years AFLX

 

[Jen2310]

Ross Lyon was talking about Weller. I think he may have had a hand in it. Big fan he said. He hopes playing with the best will bring out the best of him and so he can have a breakout year.

 

[HereIam86]

I thought Jarrod Witts would have gotten pick up.

Injured

I really think Lachie has the attributes to become an A grade player of the competition. His speed and acceleration, and his beautiful foot skills are already up there. Just needs to improve his decision making which should come with time. Those who laughed at the pick 2 trade will have egg on their faces.

And he got really fit in the off-season.

 

[SUNS]

Lachie Weller picked to represent

But no Andrew Brayshaw - Pick 2, 2017 AFL Draft

Just sayin . . .
