Perhaps you could adopt the painting below as your avatar? It was done by a friend. I am here Terry. Did you require something specific, or is it simply your wish that I add an avatar?

Len It's great to see that you were able to select players you wanted with picks 54 and 57. I wouldn't read much into opposition ORFFA coaches picking fewer players than expected from your shortlist. Each coach has a different perspective given their teams respective needs for youth vs experience and the quality of their list in the four different positions, which increases the liklihood of each coach being satisfied with their selctions at the end of the draft. I always planned to select one mature age player and three players that were drafted at the 2012 Draft. I wasn't sure whether to pick a mature age player with my third or fourth pick, I decided to use my third pick, number 46 overall on Lee Spurr which definately turned out to be the right decision. At the time of taking that pick I had three 2012 draftees in mind for my last pick at number 64 overall. None of them have been taken yet and as there are only two picks to be taken before me I will end up getting one of these players with pick 64.
Ive got the pick after Fitzy. I'll be leaving work in about 45 min, so if he hasnt picked by then, then I probably wont get a chance to make my selection until later tonight - roughly about 9:30pm, which is 12:30am for those of you in Melbs. Just wanted to let y'all know

You are no doubt right Dean, I was very happy to grab those last two... I tried very hard this draft not to be a saint fan boy which I may have been guilty of in the original, but Seb was too tempting Some of the picks have stunned me but when I go to the prospectus and look for a name Ihavenever heard of I an understand why they have been grabbed..

I'm here too guys, going to be very dusty in the morning, but if we can get to 68 tonight I'll be ready to go provided the player I want is still available.... If not it is going to require changing of spreadsheet filters etc... Something not to be attempted by a try hard golfer half cut!

Really though, we now have 10 days for less than 30 picks
It's only natural to have a bit of bias to your own club when drafting Len, more so later in the draft where you will have far greater knowledge on players from your club thanoppostion players with similar ability. In the draft last year I didn't pick any Saints with my first nine selections and then picked five Saints in the draft after that. If I wasn't a Saints fan I probably wouldn't have picked Ledger and Siposs in the draft last year. The Ledger pick didn't work and he was the last player the Devils delisted however the Siposs selection definately did work and might have the bonus ofbeing able to select him as a defender from 2014 onwards.

The Siposs one will bring you some huge scores this year, he is a gun, my big score last year was Toby Greene, I am hoping that Seb will bring me 60% of that return this year and build going forward.

I know it is only preseason and very early, but geez its nice to have Ty Vickery back on the park - for the Tigers and for my ORFFA team.
Pick #62 : Callum Bartlett from the Brisbane Lions. Was pick 27 in the 2009 draft but this Mid/Fwd has had knee problems hampering him from playing. But he gets his chance in the ORFFA now. Welcome to the VB Vultures!
