At Highenden where the flood waters have hit and the ground is awash we are boating in Tom Cutler with our final PSD pick for 2019. Your up @JPK from a soggy Hughenden.
Sorry BF - Take 2! 24) Ararat sends Tom Cutler, Ricky Henderson, and 2020 PSD R4 to King Island for PSD49, MSD R2, 2020 PSD R2, and 2020 PSD R3. Read more at http://tooserious.net/forum/threads/2019-pre-season-completed-trades.90275/#PuA8cOOitQcCRiPI.99
After some deliberation Highenden choose a different Tom to make their way to the water logged squad, welcome Tom Atkins to the PDogs. Your up @JPK
With our final pick of the 2019 PSD, Coolgardie select another Eagle, mid / fwd Matthew Allen. Time for Pearcedale @TigersTooTough to have another pick
Pick 70 - In breaking news the Bulls select 23 year old Michael Gibbons Gibbons has only this afternoon been offered a rookie contract under the AFL pre-season supplemental selection period rules. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-02-08/blues-sign-vfl-duo-gibbons-and-cottrell-under-ssp-rules @martyg
Nah, sorry @tyze1 I'm not going to allow this. Supplementary players can't be selected until the next draft - simply because they weren't available to any of us for the first (in this case 70) picks of this draft. Some coaches have taken all of their picks, and never had an opportunity to select a supplementary player...
No harm in asking! We might need to rewrite the rules eg Supplementary players added throughout the duration of a FU draft aren't not available to be drafted until the next draft. Clearly Zac Clarke was added via this prior to the draft beginning. With a mooted AFL mid season draft this may cause some further draft dilemmas. Will post a replacement player shortly sorry Michael G for raising your hopes of a Bulls contract
Pick 70 - Take 2... The Bulls revert back to Plan A and select ex Bull and Essendon leadership member David Myers Here's hoping for an injury free year from Myers so he can build on his 4 games @martyg
@#$%^&* Zac Clarke.... grrrr... the AFL don't make this easy. Yeah, ok - rule will be something along the lines of "any supplementary player added during a 'FU draft can't be selected in the 'FU draft. We have to try to keep the playing field level. Thanks for being understanding Tyze - I'm sure you're aware if Michael Gibbons had been named as a player prior to the draft, this wouldn't be an issue (but he also wouldn't have made it to pick 70 I imagine!)
all good mate - its the expected outcome however no harm in being opportunistic... hell my senior footy career was based around being an opportunistic and pesky forward pocket!
