A couple of interesting ones with Croad and McCarthy (as Sainter pointed out :p ) but Bartel and Rodan are classy players

See you for some more drafting tomorrow night :)

I posted last night that we needed some talls after you went for Bartel and Rodan - and you came through with the goods in Croad, although, I would question your choice in McCarthy simply b/c of his age.

It will be interesting to see how it pans out in reality - I really hope we go for David Hale instead of Bartel - who might be picked up at #7 by the Kangaroos anyway

Man i hope we don't really go for Bartel, he's not up to pick 8.

I wouldn't want Rodan either, the last thing we need is another undersized midfielder.

Obviously, just from what i saw of him (which i admit wasn't much) i didn't think he was worthy of pick 8, not to say that he won't be a good player
