Competitions 2017 Essendon Board Draft Game - Sign up/Discussion Thread

[eth-dog]

I took Bruce ahead of Membrey purely because Bruce can play ruck.

 

[Rack Watts]

I think the casual ruckman may die in 2017.

 

[Harlequin Dream]

Those last 2 talls are great picks. Weitering is a huge talent, I was looking at him for a later pick. I also hoped that Dixon would slide too.

 

[MightyDons4]

Great pick MightyDons4. I was sorely tempted to go with him when I took Bruce.

Lucky to get him, I was holding my breath as I can't see many other quality fwd/rucks available.

I have 2 key positions to fill. Starting to get very nervous.

Stocks are certainly running low, but there are still some solid players available. Just hope that no one takes them before I do.

Let's hope the 'great tall panic of 2017' is over.

 

[Rack Watts]

You know when you pick a player, hoping another will wheel? Absolutely shitting myself, I shouldn't have done it with Membrey.

Scully and Macrae recently taken it looks like people are realising there isn't many quality ball users with pace left to pick. It's why I pulled the trigger on Stephen Hill. His pace and skill is exactly what I need

Great pick eth-dog really rate Viney and hated passing on him but I had more pressing needs

It was at the point where he was too good to pass up. Plus he grew up over the back fence from me so there was that factor as well.

 

[eth-dog]

Needed to get Hanley's pace and kicking into the side. Not many speedsters left.

 

[boncer34]

Badly wanted Sidebottom.

Ah well next target now.

Get the Essendon equivalent

 

[Harlequin Dream]

I wanted Gibbs, Heeney or Sidebottom. Not a fun wait for me right now.

 

[Harlequin Dream]

Ok, it's been 6 hours now. Time to move on?

Yep let's get this train rolling

 

[eDPS]

Id forgotten about Watts, great pick Harlequin Dream

 

[MightyDons4]

Starting to get really interesting now as people have to decide whether to fill needs or go best available.

I'm mostly going by the positions I need and how many quality players are available in that position

 

[Mercuri Rising]

Boooo

Thought he was going to slide, nice pick Harlequin Dream

Fair enough, I pretty much just try to make a team that I'd like to watch IRL.

 

[Harlequin Dream]

Watts slipped my mind for a long time. Had to double-check that he was still there.
