[Mego Red]

Dion Prestia is a good get.

 

[Mego Red]

I'll take Lachie Whitfield.

[I Lost My Keays]

The Firebreathing Rubber Duckies Select

Kade Simpson



I need experience in my backline. Kade Simpson has been excellent and doesn't look like his career is going down anytime soon. He's a leader with excellent vision and kicking abilities that will shape my defence nicely.

Some decent mids going now. Leftovers due to the KPP purge of Rounds 2-6

 

[FAITH]

Hank93 you did it again.

 

[Danger Zone]

Some decent mids going now. Leftovers due to the KPP purge of Rounds 2-6

On average, the 8th or 9th best player on each team should still be available. Heaps of quality left. Not disagreeing that the KPP stocks were disproportionately plundered.

 

[Hank93]

Hank93 you did it again.

Haha let me check.

 

[FAITH]

Haha let me check.

If you're on a date, I'll let you off.

 

[Hank93]

I can't post pics cause it hurts too much but I'll go with Bachar Houli.

Was very close to a Norm Smith.

Best Value Picks - Rounds 1 to 5

27. Danger Zone - Joel Selwood - Geelong
Every year this bloke goes too low. And every year he dominates the competition and is one of the best players.

29. Kristof - Max Gawn – Melbourne
Injury last year made us forget that he was the Numero Uno big man the season before.

33. hendo8888 - Robbie Gray - Port Adelaide
If he was a Crows player he would have gone top ten.

34. FAITH - Gary Ablett Jr – Geelong
As professional as he is, you feel that he's been phoning it in to a degree the last few years. His half-arsed play was still better than most of the competition (when he could be bothered turning up). Now he'll be playing for keeps and it could be devastating.

41. dogs105 - Toby Greene GWS
Should not be outside the top 20. An absolute jet.

42. Hank93 - Rory Laird - Adelaide
A cheeky little AA lock at 42. Not bad business.

79. Daniel1812 - Isaac Heaney - Sydney Swans
This is the year he'll stamp himself on the competition IMO. The next Nat Fyfe.

86. MR Mystery Guest - Tom Scully - Melbourne
I don't know if it's because he's unlikable - seen as a mercenary, skinhead haircut, no personality - but he's another who is perennially under-rated.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Botched Picks - Rounds 1 to 5

22. deaneus - Jesse Hogan - Melbourne
Just something about this bloke. I know he's had off-field issues out of his control but just has always seemed a little flaky to me. Can see him throwing the towel in and heading back to Perth.

36. 1990crow - Tom Hawkins – Geelong
Started to look cooked last year. History of back issues. Will be spoon-fed by the midfield trio of Danger-Selwood-Ablett which may save him but I reckon he's a fading force.

37. 1990crow – Daniel Talia – Adelaide
Hate to say it but our boy looked awful last year. Talk that he takes a long time to recover between games. Never been an athlete and in an increasingly fast paced game just seems like yesterday's type.

49. adelaidecrows - Billy Longer - St Kilda
Enough said. Will probably play reserves.

64. Danoz - Jarrod Witts - Gold Coast
WTF? The usually astute Danoz has plotzed here. Was it the 2 marks per game or the 2 goals for the season that seduced you?

69. hendo8888 - Jarryd Roughead – Hawthorn
Don't like to say it but he's done Was a very good player and a champion person but there are no sympathy votes on offer

76. hendo8888 - Todd Goldstein - North Melbourne
The dinosaurs are extinct. Sorry hendo

 

[FAITH]

Have to say hendo8888 is my fav recruiter to watch, on paper his teams are always the best.

Certainly goes for a strategy and sticks with it.

But does that win in the AFL now? Richmond had a fairly young, Zippy team.

Thank god i wasn't on the daunted list

Just wait til the Rounds 6-10 edition!

Half of his team are ready for a retirement home. I wonder where hes finished the last few years?

 

[Deaneus!]

Not rating Hogan - he's a calculated risk, we'll see.

Wasn't sure he'd be around by the time i got another pick and needed a marquee FF

 

[Scorpus]

Billy Longer at #49 is one of the strangest picks I've seen

7th on points and 3rd on votes last year

 

[Danger in Texas]

Billy Longer at #49 is one of the strangest picks I've seen

Not as strange as one from the first round last year

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Not as strange as one from the first round last year

Which was???

 

[Maggsy]

Taking Billy Longer at #49 when there was still an absolute plethora of good (and guaranteed starting) ruckmen is the strangest draft choice I've seen in the two years playing this game... Baffling. I stand to be corrected if he busts out and becomes a beast, but that was wayyyyyy leftfield.

In just 17 games managed 10th spot in total hithouts and was 3rd overall in average hitouts per game. Maybe, just maybe if people start looking at stats they would realise he isnt as left field. He didnt do enough around the ground last year but another solid preseason and he certainly should.

I'm standing by my call,. Yes he got alot of hit-outs,. but he averaged 9.7 touches a game, 1.6 marks (which is worrying for such a big guy) and kicked 2 goals all season.. Not denying he is serviceable, but I just think you went wayyyy early on him,.
but in terms of Ruckman, I would have much preferred any of Nic Nat, Lobb, Big Boy McEvoy, Witts or Stef Martin (all which have been taken since), but hey - that's just my preference - I stand to be corrected in 2018!
