Only 5 picks left, so lets pause overnight. No clock running on this pick. Im going to PM Bearfly and we'll work something out in-line with suggestions already made. Thanks everyone.
In sad circumstances, @JPK will be stepping in to guide Useless Loop in a caretaking role. @JPK will hold ownership of the team until at least the end of the season, unless someone comes along before then who would like to take on the team in a permanent capacity. We should all keep an eye out for an alternative coach. At the end of the season we will reassess as a group. @JPK , you can take the next pick whenever you are ready, and the the clock will start ticking again for subsequent picks. Good luck all, and lets stick together through this time.
So sorry to hear Family always comes first. Take care mate. Happy to step in to help with the day-to-day team submitting until you guys get someone permanent to fill in.
With pick 43, Useless Loop will handcuff 3 Freo ruckmen together, by selecting Jack Hannath (who ownes Zac Clarke???) @stowie you're up.
Just a heads up that i'll be awol for a few weeks while on hols. @YAD69 will have the Noah's reins while i'm away. Can't guarantee team postings but expect the foot to be firmly planted on the throttle in my absence. Hoping to welcome back young Topdeck JJ soon!
With the 49th Pick in the Mid Season Draft, the Walpole Woylies select: Mitch Honeychurch, of the Western Bulldogs @thokash
Call Mr Plow, that's my name, that name again is Mr Plow. Pick 58 - Lachie Plowman @JPK up for the last pick of the draft!
With the last pick, number 59, the Useless Loop Virgins will further boost ruck stocks, by selecting project ruckman, Hawthorn's Marc Pittonet.
@anthak, @Bearfly No doubt you may already have considered the Useless Loop autopick of Jack Leslie but in light of the circumstances I would support anyone who thought it would be fair for @JPK to gain another pick from the existing player pool within the next 24-48 hours if he considers anyone superior to Mr Leslie rather than be "forced" to keep him until the next draft period. ie clearly there are more rucks that went undrafted (ie Jamar) !! If not it might be worth considering a bonus end of 2nd, 3rd or 4th round selection (for example) in the 2017 PSD as an alternative. Just my 10 cents.
