Please place all draft selections in this thread. Draft commences at 08:00 Eastern on Friday 1 February. As always, you're on the clock for up to 12 hours (except between midnight and 08:00), with a failure to take a pick meaning that you will be given the highest averaging player (free agent) based on 2018 results. Please tag the next coach after taking your pick, to help keep the draft moving.

This is the list of active draft picks I have. I think we're happy with the top end of the draft, and hopefully we're happy with the rest of it too. @martyg whenever you'd like to start is fine by me. No one is on the clock until 8am Friday 1 February.
***** Drum Roll ***** With Pick number 1 in the 2019 PSD... The Blanchetown Bunyips welcome... Sam Walsh (that was a big surprise right?) Over to you @wrightbrendan
In what turned out to be an agonising decision and one that will have the “draft the best available player” crowd giving the thumbs down, Ararat are taking a needs-based approach and select Sam Collins of the Gold Coast Suns. @Batfink
With pick 9, the Coolgardie Prospectors will take St Kilda midfielder Nick Hind @TigersTooTough Pearcedale are up mate!
Another bloody tough one second guessing myself. John (Nick) Blakey @YAD69 - sorry for the delay old boy, but you’re up now
With pick 13 after lots of deliberation the recruiting team at Pakenham have chosen to take this young talent. We didn’t expect to be able to snare him being such a high prospect but are very pleased to welcome to the club Max King @martyg
