Whatever draft plans I had have gone out the window. Pick #61, can't go past Naish Jnr to be honest. Hopefully the investment pays off (plus I loved watching his dad play for the Tigers) Pick #62 was going to be about 4 different players, but I'm now sold on the big West Indian fast bowler from Port - Joel Garner. Picks 51 and 62 will certainly form a fearsome opening bowling line up at Alberton.
At #65 the Knob are going to take a flier on perennially underachieving oft injured physical freak Rhys Stanley
So I had this pick down to a two horse race based on need. A recent epiphany has me realising that I’m a pretty poor judge of my teams needs. So just gonna pick on want. I want another uber talented Port project midfielder to tread water on my list. Welcome to the Goon: #66 - Jake Patmore, mid, Port
Opposite to my learned colleague above in that I am compelled to actually make the "safe" or "slightly more boring" pick this time around as it is the only spot on the field I have no depth. Welcome Wylie Buzza, R/F and semi ruck handcuff for Zac Smith. Hopes for one further pick, we will see.
# 74 - The Nuffers have had 2 Walkers previously so it's about time we complete the set, Will Walker Mid NM
With pick #75 and our final pick for this PSD the Lilacs would like to welcome Liam Ryan, West Coast Eagles, FWD
Two young Indigenous boys! Both put an early end to their AFL careers to spend more time with their families but have both now come out of retirement to have another crack. #84. Jarrod Garlett, m/f, Carlton #88. Dom Barry, m, Port Adelaide
Mate pretty sure I've made a rather major cockup, you should have had pick 67 to take, for some reason that line ihas been removed from the lists
Yeah, I should have pick 85... Luckily for Ant (and everyone else) Dom Barry is not the new Mark Seaby. Anyway, my pick is 85. Cam Ellis-Yolmen The more important issue is why the controversy always seems to involve me...haha
pick #91, The Spelunkers choose Bayley Fritsch, Fwd, Melbourne. This concludes the draft, thanks to @Len for the awesome organisation...
78 picks in four days.................DAMN !!! Unofficial stats (cos Math isn't my strongest skill - unlike drafting) 52 Rookies taken - 13 defenders, 16 mids, 19 forwards & 4 rucks 26 Free Agents taken - 9 defenders, 6 mids, 7 forwards & 4 rucks.
