I'm going to draft a guy whose dad I watched play. Good player he was too, Mark Hunter - many a day down at the wet, windy and cold Whitten Oval during the 80s and 90s I stood by my dad's side, watching some good Bulldogs teams run around ... some of my best football memories to be honest; spending time at the footy with my dad when I was young, watching team after team slowly sink into the Whitten Oval mud while kicking to the wrong spots at the windswept ground in West Footscray. I'll always be a Tigers' supporter, but I'll always have a soft spot for the Doggies (and for the Cats, thanks to the amount of time I spent in Geelong when young, and that the lovely Jen is a diehard Geelong supporter.) So pick 31 - Lachlan Hunter. Welcome to town. Welcome back to the ORFFA
Thank you JC for taking my pick for me. Meant I had to go back and do a little more research. Warriors with pick #35 take Michael Talia. That's two doggie backs in a row.

Nothing wrong with that pick Terry. Very nearly grabbed him myself. But then I remembered my forward line. Now I've heard of a piggy back, but a doggie back?
Iron Knob are happy to select at #36 with their first pick Ian Callinan FWD we hope he can bring his goal sense and bad hamstrings to Iron Knob and help us win a flag in 2013.

Mutterings persist that a certain J Lyons taken earlier in this draft might end up replacing Mr Callinan, JC. But time will tell - for now, that's a pretty wise pick from Iron Knob.
Sorry, just realised I had to make a pick. Pick 37 - picking the Melton boy - Adam Kennedy, GWS. Best of luck everyone with the remainder of the draft, I'll catch back up when the expansion draft kicks off in earnest.
Indeed. Marble Bar utilise their 2nd and final pick in this draft to select Josh Bruce D/F of the GWS. Watched him live two weeks in a row, and then heard separately from Sheeds and Cameron how highly they rate him and his work rate..
