I've nudged Simon, but it's 3am there, I doubt he will be around for an hour or 3, though happy to be proved wrong
Big gnashings, with Scharen also gonsky. Fortunately being 3 am in NY he is probably too sleepified to get the nuke codes right.

Thanks Grav, in combination with HMac he provides some decent back up to Sauce. The pivot tables came in very useful!

Nah Len, what we are calling a pivot table is a white board from the footy department on top of one of the massage tables on the bumpy floor of the local bowls club bar. Hi tech has come to Waipukarau.

It is great to see people follow their instinct and this selectionmight end up like the Grundy one.' color: #000000;] An interesting view Dean. One of the upshots of Grundy going early was Brad Crouch was available at pick 6. The Waikicks were more than happy to pick a young guy who averaged 87 in his first 14 games and might well turn out to be one of the better players from that draft. I appreciate Grundy was, and still is, the best ruck available but there is an opportunity cost involved in every pick. Who know how we will view a pick in five or 10 years time? Chels, it will be very interesting to see how we view a pick in five or 10 years time. At this early stage I am placing as much weight on how an ORRFA coach thinks his draft pick is performing as I am on the player's actual on-field (and supercoach) performance. The 18 ORFFA Clubs are looking at the draft pool from different perspectives due to varyingpositional needs and preferences for age and experience of their players. In writing '[span style='background: white; color: black;]A year ago Brodie Grundy went at five, higher than most of us expected and that selection paidoff.' [span style='background: white; color: black;] [span style='background: white; color: black;]I wasn't commenting that Grundy was the best possible selection at 6, it was more based on the role that Grundy is performing for Raptor's team Powlett Plains. In just his second season Brodie Grundy is already performing the role Raptor selected him for, the number 1 ruckman of Powlett Plains. Very few players are the number 1 ruckman for an AFL (and ORFFA club) at just 19 years of age and given Raptor's long term view Grundy is going to perform a pivotal role for Powlett Plains. [span style='background: white; color: black;] [span style='background: white; color: black;]Brad Crouch wasone of the best first yearplayers in the complast season and looks set for a fantasticcareer. The main point is that both Raptor and yourself are as satisfied as you could be with your respective selections of Grundy and Crouch a year ago and the role they are performing for your team, and at this early stage you can't ask for anything more than that.
Great selection Simonoz, Taylor was my preferred selection at 23 as well, not that I expected himto last until then.

Fair to say I was channeling left field grav, but it was Taylor, an unpicked back or Boston, and in 2-3 years time I am confident he will be an inspired pick, or we will nickname him 'ZacDawson' and make him run down Pitt st in a purple jumper... Done mumbling
