Adelaide Board summer draft game

[Riggy1]

Is this over who will be the best team over the season, or in RD 1?

because I have 1 person on my list who I might take.

 

[Mego Red]

My final pick - I'll take the premiership fullback. Nice depth addition.

Stephen Gilham.

Realistically, we'll do a poll on the board in a couple of days and people will vote. Maybe we bump this at the end of the year - but it is just a game, so I can't imagine we'll be bothered.

Yes but I want to take an injured person. But in he will be playing by mid year

So would it hurt if I take him?

It should be judged from both ends of the season. There'll be a vote now, but your injured guy might blitz later and make your team look better at the end of the season. After all, Steve Johnson made All Australian in 2007 after missing the first six games. You wouldn't pass up a season like that!

Anyway for my last pick I'll take someone with tremendous upside who I expect to play a new role in an improving team (hey, let's face it my last 20 picks have been on upside ).

Pick 294 - Shane Edwards. Quick, great endurance, evasive. Has some fantastic athletic qualities and has a likeable sort of game. I'm hearing he'll be moved to a half back flank and will have a fair amount of traffic directed through him. He's probably a bit out of the blue, but I had to go obscure for my last pick.

Just an idea to help measure the quality of teams drafted, how about we turn this into another dream team league with the players you have drafted.

Let's see who (stat wise) drafted the best players.

I think the general consensus with that was that high-scording DT players and good players are two different things. Chris Knights would have been taken a lot earlier otherwise

I say we take a vote just for fun in the next week or so, then this thread gets bumped by KUNG FU at the end of the season just for posterity. I've been picking for the end of 09 in mind, not the start.



So, for my last pick! I'll take a second tagger, just incase Crowley falls down on me. FIRE UP, Robert Shirley!

Man, I overloaded on Crows players My natural bias shows out!

 

[crowsarethebest]

Going for a veteran who is supremely underrated over the year - James McDonald.

This is my team:
crowsarethebest - Gary Ablett Jnr, Nathan Bock, Matthew Richardson, Brett Deledio, Matthew Lloyd, Shaun Burgoyne, Andrew Mackie, Daniel Wells, Daniel Motlop, Dustin Fletcher, Jason Gram, Mark McVeigh, Rhys Palmer, Dean Brogan, Xavier Ellis, Jason Akermanis, Roger Hayden, Matthew Stokes, Travis Johnstone, Andrew Lovett, Adam Selwood, Stephen King, Brent Guerra, Kade Simpson, Chris Tarrant, Leo Barry, Jesse W. Smith, Robert Campbell, Brady Rawlings, James McDonald

FB:---Hayden----D.Fletcher----Mackie
CHB:--Gram--------Bock-------M.McVeigh
C:----Wells-------Deledio------Palmer
CHF:-Akermanis--Richardson---Johnstone
FF:---M.Stokes----Lloyd------D.Motlop
RR::--Brogan-----Ablett------S.Burgoyne
Bench:A.Selwood--Lovett---R.Campbell---Tarrant

EMG: McDonald, Guerra, S.King, K.Simpson, Barry, J.W.Smith, Rawlings, Ellis


Pretty good side I reckon and the depth is there as well... very hard to pick the side as it's pretty even- McDonald, Barry and Rawlings were especially stiff to miss out.
