[span style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;]The ORFFU Draft is finally underway. Officially it
started in mid-December but we had a few issues. Mick's absence left us having
to wait awhile, annoying for those of us in a hurry but he came through in the
end. Ironically, I was the only one to take an auto-pick, (distracted by the
seaside scenery I guess). Now with everyone ready, the draft should speed up.
Interesting choice of players taken R1:
[span style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Times New Roman;]

<ol style='list-style-type: decimal; direction: ltr;]
<li style='font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;]

Naitanui: The King of King Is. Strangely, the first pick had the lowest 2013
average. He's still a good pick for the long run though as he will be West
Coast's next R1.

Pendlebury: Blanchetown's stalwart star. I half expected Ablett to be first mid
but Pendles is younger and more consistent.
</li>
<li style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;]

Dangerfield: Going to Serengeti as the crow flies. An already proven star at
only 23 and could be an FU star for a long time.
</li>
<li style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;]

Selwood: Something the Barcrawlers dragged in. 25 years of age and already the
Cats M1. Have we seen his full potential yet? (scary)
</li>
<li style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;]

Ablett: The shining star of Cow Bay. I don't think he needs much of a
description, has topped the league for the last 2 years.
</li>
<li style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;]

Rockliff: Now leading Staghorn Flat's pride. An up and coming superstar, despite
losing DPP status this year he's only 23 and could regain FWD mode in years to
come.
</li>

Steven: The saint handpicked by the chairman. Often overlooked but at 23, he
will be St. Kilda's and Gisborne's M1.
<p style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-top: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0pt;][span style='line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;]Now, the one we've waited for&amp;hellip;

Goldstein: The Blowflies' Boomer. Narrowly missed out on top ruckman last year.
But at 25 he won't let that slip out of his grasp easily.
</li>
<li style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;]

Beams: The Parasite Pie. He recovered from injury last year and still got in
the top 40 average, turning 24 before the season he's looking to make up for
lost time.

Watson: An experimental selection from Manangatang. The 2012 Brownlow winner
definitely will not play for the thirds.

Fyfe: Shipping out to the Southern Cross (I didn't say it would be easy). At
22, this star player has years of opportunity. A definite force to be reckoned
with.
</li>
<li style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;]

Swan: A pie moving up to the &amp;lsquo;annas. The oldest player selected in round 1 but
has proven himself countless times.
</li>

Cotchin: The Tigerbarramid. At 23, his skills at Tigerland may transfer to
Groote Eyelandt and could be a star for years.

Griffen: How could the Whalers not pick him? As a star in the midfield he can
get big scores and as a Dog, he has our pres. Crusher's nod.
</li>
<li style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;]

Martin: Part of the Smugglers' cunning plan. The first DPP selected, he
switches from a star forward to a backup mid, and at only 22 he'll be turning
back opponents for longer than Tony Abbott.

<li style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;]

Bennell: The Panthers' glimpse of the future. At 21, he is part of the Suns'
starter set, will he flash or shine?

picks JPK: Have the Prospectors struck gold with this swan, at 25 and scoring
well, probably.

Wingard: Part 1 of Ararat's &amp;lsquo;double shot'. The youngest player picked in round
1 and already DPP, almost notched up the 100 average in only his 2nd
year.
