That is me done for the draft. Very happy with how it all went and unfolded.

Pick 26 - James Stuart (pick 27, 2012) - I was really bullish on Stewart. Even after threenewpadlocks review of his final game I am happy to secure him as a prospect CHF. I feel my list needed one and for me at that stage to get him late second round was happy. I think he is a real prospect. Sam Durdin did come into some consideration, but he may end up back. This is exactly who I was hoping for on my pre-draft rankings. Tick!

Pick 28 - Corey Ellis (pick 12, 2014) - Did not even consider him, don't know why he lasted so late. Can find the ball, had some injuries last year still averaged 22 possessions a game in the TAC Cup (26 the year before). Champion data rank him in the top 11 players in the draft and our recruiting team have been pretty solid with their first picks over the years. Once again was considering Durdin at this pick. Couldn't pass on Ellis though.

Pick 29 - Calab Marchbank (pick 6, 2014)- Another defender who can find the ball and move higher up the field and on to the wing. He loves his flexibility, as do I. I am hoping he is like a Birchall type third tall in the back line. There always has to be sliders and he was one of them in this draft. Pick 6 by the Giants and to have him at 29 I thought was a fair effort.

Pick 39 - Marc Pittonet (pick 50, 2014) - Number one ranked ruck man behind Wright. I read in my NAB cup guide that he is "highly competitive, skilful, aggressive in the contest and directs the ball well at stoppages" and then saw his highlight tapes (looks unreal in it). Bit worried at pick 34 that Rockford may have his eyes on another ruck and he would snap him up. Gawn and Pittonet are now my two development rucks. The player here that I would of take had I not taken him is Cavka. Vandenberg and McGuiness were also on my radar.

Pick 55 - Sam Fisher (St Kilda) - After a huge amount of deliberation I decided to do it and pick some experience. I guess it's me signalling my intent to go for it this season. Didn't actually expect him to be available so late, I was tossing and frowing. I believe their are a few good prospects on waiver wires still that will most likely get snapped up. Fisher though has had his best preseason in 3 seasons and has not missed a beat at training. Big marker and gets around 20 possessions a game. He will fit into my starting 6 as I leave a few to develop. Zim^zuM Lambert is a fantastic ball winner and can kick a goal. Also lot younger than Fisher. Having said that I he was not in my team calculations. I don't want to have two Mitchell type players on my list, having one though is fine.

Great read, thanks for sharing.

I thought Glenn might've lasted through to my last pick. I had considered Pittonet, richcogs, in my 34 and 35 picks but really, couldn't go past Viojo-Rainbow and Durdin. Will be interesting to see how they develop. Had a lot of players to consider in that 34/35 range, was still a lot of good prospects I think.
