Below is a bio I found, he doesn't sound horrid at all, though if that 1.5 is 1 goal 5 behinds and not one and a half he is certainly asaccurateas Roo. . <strong style='color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;]MARCO PAPARONE DOB:[/b]03/09/1994<br style='color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;[/img] <strong style='color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;]Height:[/b]194cm<br style='color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;[/img] <strong style='color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;]Weight:[/b]84kg<br style='color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;[/img] <strong style='color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;]Club:[/b]East Fremantle/Western Australia<br style='color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;[/img] <strong style='color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;] Bio:[/b]Tall forward with elite endurance (15+ beep test result) which allows him to keep presenting up forward or to play midfield which he did in the final game of the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships.

I think it's a bit about self-belief with Marco. Endurance-wise he's elite, but he's also quite agile for a guy of 194cm - he could potentially play on a wing at the next level. At the championships he was often able to out-run his opponents, so he really can be damaging toward the end of quarters. I think he can develop into a really dangerous player.' - WA talent manager Raff Guadagnino.
Voss has said he drafted Marc P and one other because he wanted some strong aerobic runners in light of the upcoming reduction in rotations. If guys like Marc P can last longer on the ground he can use rotations in a more tactical way. Voss and tactics might not sit well with you either, I am just the messenger!

While there's a lull in the draft, if you haven't had your say on the prospective new owner of the Far Kew franchise, do so at the Far Kew thread.I'm not sure if we need a certain number of owners to agree, if we do, the sooner it is sorted the better I guess. (Disclaimer warning - potential new owner is my much better half Jen)
Make sure you guys let me know regarding the new coach as well, since there's a Far Kew pick coming up pretty soon. I'm obviously not fussed whether I take it or the new coach does when they take over, but I do have some good ones lined up so if I'm not taking it I can pass on some of my notes to Jen
Am not 100% sure if this guy is available, can someone send me a link of where all the available players are? Searched him up on the current teams and couldn't find him, may just be a mistake though. If this guy is free, Venus Bay Vultures select Clint Young with pick 39 of the ORFFA draft
I find it great that this pick has generated more opinion and conjecture than Patrick Wearden or Therapist! Nothing better than polarising the masses.... just have to see how it pans out now

I'm sure I can manage to send some your way as well chels, but I think that'll have to wait till after the next pick for Far Kew. The Waikik's do have the pick before the Frogs after all
Can't believe he is free, stoked to have him! Do not plan on trading much anymore... for the moment... we will see though. Lol
Much appreciated BB, thank you. My next pick is already set in concrete but has to survive two 'challenges' before it becomes a reality
bitter experience has taught me never to turn down any help or advice bama. At the end of the day the decisions and the errors are mine and mine alone!
This pick is reserved for the boss <img class='ForumImage' src='http://www.ninjanoveltysigns.com/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/head-honcho-parking-only.jpg[/img]

As I stated earlier, I am determined to boost the midfield ranks, but I am also trying to choose someone who may be able to replace big Drew Petrie in a year or so. Looking at his height and weight, and endurance stats, he may turn out to be similar to Nick Riewoldt... but that is a massive call, and one that is several years away. But he is a cm taller and 3kegs heavier than when Roo was drafted so who knows. In the meantime, he will have the Brown dog to learn from, and hopefully Browny puts some mongrel into him. if I get 10 games out of this guy it will be a great result this year. At pick 38# The Spelunkers take Marco Paparone... and wait anxiously for pick 48 to see if I have leant the right way! I always knew you were going out for a pizza. Next time try leaning the other way. /Portals/0/User%20Images/pain01.jpg Still plenty of room left at the inn.
