I am patiently waiting on board until about 12 AEST for the pick after Bandits, otherwise there may be a delay tomorrow. May I just say that I think that everyone has drafted well so far this year (or at least pretty much dead on give or take a pick or two as to where I thought most players were going to go). Having said this it hasn't helped me one little bit knowing who I am going to pick at mine. All you buggers took all the good players.
Lots of shenanigans over night I see.......TiB is the naughty one here Looking forward to my next installment of ODF tomorrow over coffee
Time for a future key position forward. I have a history of taking guys who can't kick for shit (Paparone) and this guy has some work to do there. But second most goals in the TAC last year and a brute of a contested mark should hopefully hold him in good stead. Pav isn't getting any younger and Gumbleton has gone down so the dockers need a key position forward. pick #33, Michael Apeness, Ruck/Forward, Fremantle

My blokes are only getting older and the flurry of lob sided trades (particularly those to my main challenger and buddy down at the old Knob) have meant that while everyone is taking the kids I am going to have to go the other way and hope that this bloke has got one more year in him before he and a few of my other players retires. Gotta go for the three-peat, I'll think about rebuilding later.... Pick 34 - Heath Scotland (Car)
Good pick Chief.... He was my other option to Fuller but opted to get a few more years... He should get you a solid 80 each match
Heath Scotland? That rookie-lister from Carlton? He's got a great career ahead of him now he's been elevated off the rookie list. Seriously - smart pick that one.
OK, bit of a speculative pick here.... bit worried about the shoulder (Teen wolf Nat Fyfe anyone), but given the saints are rebuilding they will play this guy a few times this year I would think. #36, Blake Acres, Mid, St. Kilda

Reckon this one's a good pick into the future more than immediate rookie impact.
Seriously good pick Bandito, when I traded out pick 35 I feared I would lose out on Acres. Had hoped against hope he would last through to the 53 pick.

I couldn't let him slide... although I think your formula on the whiteboard is slightly out Chels /Portals/0/Users/168/92/7592/alexandrasept20121.jpg' style='width: 1027px; height: 799px;
Yeah, I think you are right Bandito. I am not sure the time to converge to V* being determined by non-linear analysis and V* being determined by linear analysis is an acceptable assumption.
