Hmm, I'll open that up to the opinions of everyone.

At the completion of the draft, let coaches delist players, and then continue following the same order among coaches with vacancies, until all spots are full?

Or are you stuck with the players you drafted unless you can trade them out?

 

[eth-dog]

I think if you draft them you should keep them.

 

[Kakkle]

Jamie Cripps that late is a steal IMO. A much better option in the forward line then about 20 or so players picked before him.

 

[eth-dog]

Cockatoo was an interesting pick. Rated highly internally Kakkle?

Higher than Langford and Laverde?

I say we skip boncer34 again, which would mean that Mercuri Rising is up by my watch

Done and done

Justin Clarke and Tom Nicholls are juicy trade targets...

 

[Mercuri Rising]

Finally dipping into the rookie pool with one pick to go. From what little I've seen, I really rate Lambert - gets the nod over others for being a goalkicker as well as a ballwinner.

bold. Nothing wrong with bold though

Mmm. Whether I have the intestinal fortitude to start him is another matter.

 

[eth-dog]

Surprised to see Jamar available. Makes a massive difference to Melbourne's side.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Jack Package, in the absence of Ashton Agar you're free to proceed.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Into the final round of picks, so we should be done within a day or three. Now, trading. Will a one week period suffice?

 

[eth-dog]

Yep, sounds good.

 

[Mercuri Rising]

Time to get those four-club, seven-player trades out of your system, internet list managers.

 

[Zach Package]

I'm OK to go as long as people want on trades, but you'd think one week should do.

Happy with my final side as well, lots of running power and lots of versatility with my bench, can take Blicavs out for the extra mid or swap him with Griffiths for extra height at either end, feel like i've covered a lot of bases.

 

[hollywood23]

ok let's liven things up in this snooze fest.

MightyDons4 I propose to trade you Luke Parker and Tom Boyd for Tom Hawkins and Ben McGlynn.

Best and fairest winner and one of the now elite midfielders in the comp in Luke Parker for Tom Hawkins and You get your replacement key forward in the mould of the once in a generation Tom Boyd who the bulldogs gave up their captain for. I get Ben McGlynn as steak knives. Deal?

 

[gillon]

Lindsay Thomas and Mitch Clark for Jack Riewoldt and Jack Martin?

fodzilla

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Lindsay Thomas and Mitch Clark for Jack Riewoldt and Jack Martin?

fodzilla

Yeah, nah. Already have a top notch small in Devon Smith, so not willing to downgrade my talls for Thomas.

What I'm interested in is a solid key defender. Any mid bar Pendlebury and one of Grimes/Hansen/Delaney for a lesser mid and a better defender, depending on what's on offer.

Otherwise, open to suggestion.

B: G. Broughton, D. Grimes, L. Hansen
HB: P. Hanley, P. Davis, J. Adcock
C: S. Sidebottom, S. Pendlebury, M. Murphy
R: N. Naitanui, A. Swallow, S. Selwood
HF: M. LeCras, T. Cloke, R. Bastinac
F: D. Smith, J. Riewoldt, S. Lycett
I: D. Shiel, S. Docherty, J. Martin, Z. Merrett
E: (D. Stanley, T. Hickey, L. Delaney)

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Oh, I should add:
- Trade window runs until 11:59PM AEST next Monday (February 16th).
- Both parties to a trade must indicate their consent in the thread.
- You must have 25 players when the window closes.
- No funny business.

 

[eth-dog]

How open are you on Cloke or Riewoldt fodzilla? As key defenders go I have Carlile, Brown, Reid, Henderson and Hombsch

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Anyone is available for the right price. I don't have any KF depth though so would need a replacement as part of the deal.
