Universal Love 2017 Giants Player Advocate Draft

[Determinant]

Sorry, I thought I was done with one.

Can I pass (preferred)? If not, I'll take Flynn and keep the Narranderra boys together.

fridgeman, you're next

Pass is fine mate, that's why I listed more picks than players, reminds me I need to "Pass" peters17 remaining picks as requested.
Will go with your preferred option, fridgeman back to you

Change of heart, would like my selections back if possible, my bad mate.

No worries, sorted

 

[fridgeman]

I will pick Cumming
Wampeter is up

 

[Bokonon_]

Bugger

Oh well he was a Bulldog. Only the mighty Robins could turn a Staker into an AFL listed player anyway. Tex was another gimme that needed no work from them.

Finlayson. Intrigues me, looks good every time I see him play and will be going early to watch Isaac and Lachie anyway.

Edit: combaning come on down

Obviously been playing down back in the neafl but his more that natural forward and might well get that chance in '17

 

[Determinant]

Gigantor - You are up again mate, and have 2 picks having missed the first.

I've just returned from a week on the South Coast! No wi fi! I'll try and work out what's going on and take a pick.

 

[Gigantor]

Can I take Lids?

 

[Determinant]

Can I take Lids?

Any 2 not taken in the list in the OP mate

 

[Gigantor]

ok, then Lids and Stevie J

 

[coniglio_number1]

ok, then Lids and Stevie J

Damn good combo!

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

So some people get two picks in a row while others have to wait until pick #30 to get a look in...

But I no complain.

I think I got two picks for missing the first round pick.

Not what was thinking about - more this whole new "snake" format where someone gets the last pick in the first round and the first in the second. And the person who had the second last pick in the first gets the second in the second and so on.

Not having a go at you, just not completely sold on the format.

But it is what it is.

Cheers mate, Giant Strides you are up mate

It's all perspective, but you have had a pick, it was pick 7 and you used it.
The draft is compromised in "fairness" due to the reserved player allowances, leave that out and it's clearly fairer that the person who has pick 1 gets pick 36, and 2nd gets 35 rather than the person who gets pick 18 also gets 36 if you see where what I mean.
That's why snake drafts are by far the most common type conducted now.

 

[coniglio_number1]

I imagine the outrage at having pick 2 when I already had cogs in my pocket. I'm ok with this format.

I understand I had an earlier pick and used it on Josh Kelly. I also understand how some think this is fairer when picking talent, just not a fan of it that's all. I get that 1+36 roughly equals 18+19 and is fairer than 1+19 and 18+36. But that's all based on available talent.

But we're not picking for talent in this one - we're picking for favourites - which is different, (in what draft does TOJ and Tiziani go before Lids and Stevie J?) the need to compensate for an early pick is lessened dramatically in a draft like this.

But as I said...

It is what it is and I no complain.

Really.

It's all good.

I'll get there eventually.

 

[Giant Strides]

I have my experienced player, plenty of favourites still there, but will take a younger player who I hope will be great in the future ... Harry Himmelberg.

Agree, enjoy HH. I'll replace him with the other Harry...Perryman.

Hey, maybe if each draft pick is worth a value and you can nominate one or two players that you've been the Advocate for in the past and have the option to match the draft pick by using a combination of picks (with maybe a 20% discount)...

Just a thought...

 

[Determinant]

Replacing one Narrandera boy with another, Matt Flynn, super impressed with what he has done so far and have big hopes for him for the Giants
