I particularly liked him myself and was hoping he'd last until 92, clearly a fantasy game of itself Thanks Len. Nah I didnt add those 5 players in. That was them, but Im fairly happy with their selections - even tho I dont actually have JKH in my team at present I was already waay over the word limit, so didnt add suggested players etc, but I was stoked they didnt cut out any of my words I submitted Here's a link if anyone's interested: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl...

Much and all as I think Chris Newman is way too good a player to leave on the FA list (and boy am I tempted to pick him up) ... I'm not going to. However I do have to keep up my Richmond quota at Darraweit Guim, so we are going to draft in a young forward from South Australia by the name of Matty 'Madonna' McDonough. Reckon he might play a few games this year across half back and/or half forward. Pick 70-something or other - Matty McDonough, Richmond, Forward Dislocated shoulder - Dang! Anywho was gonna grab this guy regardless. #82 Jarrad Grant, Fwd, Dogs
Good pick Gravenger. Before the PSD the Cradle Mountain recruiting department compiled a roughlist ofwho they expected to be picked in the top 50 and Grant was one of those names. Still got five players from that list who haven't been selected, it will interesting to see how many remain at the end of the draft. The only player selected in the top 30 who wasn't on the list was Gold Coast rookieAndrew Boston taken byLen at pick 20.Of the players on the CMD recruiting stafftop 50 list 39 of them were selected in the top 50.

Crap or genius pick Dean? Len, it might have more a case of me overlooking Boston, other ORFFA coaches had him in their top 50.I only hadtwo rookie listed playerson my roughtop 50 list, Fraser Thurlow who was taken at pick 44 and theother rookie was only on the list because I intended to select him at 47, I didn't think anyone else would select him in the top 50. Midfielder Boston got a good write up in the AFL Prospectus for a strong finish to 2013 including 'kicking seven goals straight in his last three games' and having an elite kick.
Funny how the draft works really, I don't think he was worth pick 20 myself, but my next pick was 50, and of the players available when I took that pick he was the one I would most regret not having, so he became #20. for all I know he is an irrelevancy to other teams and would have been there at 92, though sNoZ did express an interest
You are correct Len.......Boston would've been my 3rd pick, #37. And yes....he is probably a speculative 4th Rd+ pick but I would have grabbed him early as well. As for the draft, have we ground to a halt?

Yeah I don't see any need to enforce a skip, we have time, not many picks and Jim is hardly a serial offender...

Sorry for the delay, I am going to take a flyer on Keiran HARPER from NM, love his talent, hope he can get it together.
Cheers Jim, life gets in the way sometimes.. At pick 92 Marble Bar are selecting Matt Arnot, Richmond. This was tough, I wish I'd delisted another as there are two I really want..
