I'm not sure he will fit in at the Uglies though Bama, he is a bit of a pretty boy... clearly the Saints see him as a long term replacement for another pretty boy, Nick Riewoldt. Good get
Nice pickups both guys, both will be handy if they see game time, hoping Watters & Pelchin are right about Lee given we effectively made him a 1st round draft pick.. 20 picks till my next ones at 54 and 57, and I have 21 players on my short(ish) list so 54 should be good, it's going to be tight to see if there is anything left for 3 picks later.
Thanks Bandit, I was planning on picking him up with my next pick but when I started typing in my selection I changed my mind and typed in his name instead. Luckily I guess!

Guys just as a note, the times for me on TS are whacked out and I don't convert well. I don't think we are going to have any cause to use the 18 hour thing now, but if we were to, the time I am using is the one on theemailI (and hopefully most of you) get when a pick is made.
I think I am going to take a punt here; PICK #35 George-Horlin SMITH , GEELONG I have heard big wraps on this kid, hasnt had much of a run yet but I am hoping he can get a gig in the Cats midfield as some of their aging stars either break down or retire.
excellent pick Jimbo, the magnetic board at Waikik draft HQ is now getting a fierce work out. Not sure whether to get the carpenters in now to repair the hole in wall I just kicked or wait until the end of the draft.

I only have 5 names and there's still my 15 picks before I get another go. Back to scouring the list for some more names!
I have plenty of names on my list Jolcon - but whether I want them at the Waikiks is a different story!

And so we arrive at the Lefties final pick. With considerable arguments, unmentionable expletives and nothing close to consensusaround the Lefties draft selection table, Prof. RJ begins to warm up his bricks to settle the ruckus peacefully. From amongst the throng, the head coach crawls free, dodges a stray house brick andutters: Lefties pick #36 - Nick Suban - Freo Head coach will be the fall guy with this punt. All in all, the Lefties staff are more than happy with their new acqusitions and are certainly beaming to show off their new poster boy: Mighty Joe! Many thanks to Len for running a tight ship - take a bow mate. And to TiB for quickly resolving our amphibious issue. Good luck to the rest of ya! (i'll pop my head in now and then to see what scraps get picked and attempt to be polished)
I was going to take Suban at 41 it's the first time and hopefully the last time I've been trumped this draft! Think he will be a good get. Did the Steven Hill article on the AFL website sway you?
