2011 AFC Drafting Game

[XztatiK]

Dammit Riggy! Mitch Farmer is a spud but I was hoping for Ricky all along too. I wasn't going to strike until my 19th pick though. Definitely a better choice than Spudsthoff.

Henderson has been a lock here for a while. Nice that I stole him from right under your nose. Seems like he wouldn't of been available for my next pick

and I did say the Farmer pick was a 'no ****ing idea pick' so give me a break there

the bias Richmond website made him sound ok

 

[XztatiK]

I don't mind missing out on a player of Henderson's quality as there are better available, but I do mind missing out on a player of his type, as there aren't really any others available. He's the perfect complement to 2 inside-50 key forwards, like Tex and Tippa... Or Buddy and Lachie

Lachie Hansen is one of the big issues with your team, for mine. Just hasn't shown enough down forward. Was okay in the second half of the year, but is a long way from being elite.

That being said, I guess we all have challenges at one position or another.

23 goals in the 2nd half of last year! I'm drafting him more on potential than history for sure, But that's the case with almost every 22 year old. It's not a worry to me at all, especially with Buddy already up forward and now Hille pinch-hitting.

Buddy does give you a lot of goal kicking power. Hille is a long bow to draw, I don't think he'd help you that much, but buddy gives you one of the very few impact forwards.

Not even Josh Gibson???

 

[BACCS]

Not even Josh Gibson???

Actually was gonna go with him, but he is a bit of a glorified hack IMO. Shit defensively, turns it over, and seems to always be injured. I can see why North weren't too keen to keep a hold of him.

McGrath meanwhile, has actually played a few decent games that have helped his side win a game, I'd like to see a game where Gibson has done the same for his team.

Yeah not actually suggesting you should've picked Gibson since you already have 3 solid talls. I just caught a glimpse of you picking him before you changed it lol.

Ah, it's my pick. Sorry, will whack up soon.

Yuuup. That's who I was gonna take.

Gimme a sec...

 

[WAG]

Nice pick . Was looking at either him or Stevens, however I am full of running half backers so needed a third tall.

 

[XztatiK]

I'll pick Jack Redden.

Quality young jet who'll get plenty of on-ball opportunities this year. Real hard-nut with huge potential.



Rebel picks Shaun Grigg.

My team (best 22):

B - T.Goldstein - xxxx - xxxx

 

[WALL-e]

Like Redden.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

pick 191: Tom Williams

As a key defender, he has untapped potential but is also very injury prone. If he can get his body right, he can be a very good player for the Western Bulldogs.

B: XXXXX ~ Scarlett ~ Rivers
HB: MacKie ~Williams ~ Tambling
C: MacKay ~ Hartlett ~ Hill
HF: Dangerfield ~ Tippett ~ Trengrove
F: Connors ~ Hall ~ Hannebery
R: McIntosh ~ Judd ~ Palmer

Emg: XXXXX ~ XXXXX ~ XXXXX ~ XXXXX

Pick #196: Dustin Fletcher

After Brad Johnson's injury-stricken season last year, I avoided going for veteran players this year but I can't think of a better player available at this pick. Fletcher is 34 years old and in his final years but he still made the AA squad of 40 last year. Plus this means I can use Staker as my third tall up forward and Fletch as my BP who racks up cheap kicks (they maybe cheap but he can kick it 70m).

Luke McPharlin

Who knows what will get from him next year, but he gives me flexibility. Any one of Brown, Bradshaw, or Reid go down I'm pretty confident I can shuffle my side to cover it.

Todd Banfield

Just has a bit of a spark about him and check out his wingspan.

FB: Russell Lake C. Brown
HB: Malceski Reid Deledio
C: Pearce Kennedy (Syd) Jack
HF: Douglas J. Brown Giansiracusa
FF: Naitanui Bradshaw Banfield
R: Kreuzer G. Ablett Vince
Int: McPharlin - -

[Axel.]

Was just about to pick Banfield as my FP player. :/

Pick 200 - Nathan Fyfe

B - Toy Frawley Birchall
HB - Duffield Maguire Drummond
C - Dal Santo Swallow Lewis
HF - Higgins Waite Sidebottom
F - Varcoe Jurrah Fyfe
R - Mumford Swan Cross
Int - Stratton ??? ???
Sub - ???

 

[ringo200]

Ha ha, I was so close to picking Fyfe instead of him.

 

[Axel.]

Lets swap.
