Considering this bias I was surprised to grab Douglas when I did

Yeah some go strangely low too, I got Laird in the 90’s last year when he should have gone much higher. Atkins is another one who I thought would go higher

 

[1990crow]

Yeah back sorry had to drive home from trivia night

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Some Crows have gone really early. Seed, Kelly, Gibson, McGovern, Fog and Keath were all taken before where I expected them to go

Usually happens in this game, though

Port players often get taken later too. Gray and Wingard should've gone much higher than they did and would've been top 20 if they were Crows. Then again, I think Dixon went way too early.

Callum plays for Carlton.

Jesus, who am I playing this with?

Callum Chambers Club

 

[Maggsy]

Trying to work out whether that means you think Young and Adams are shit, or whether you are wish you took them instead.

No I rate them both,. Just saying that it probably would have been a smarter option to take either of them than the Fog,. but yeah.. Pfft,.. I regret nothing,.. Still got plenty of picks to go will fill out the squad with them.

322 - Alex Keath - Crows

Think he will play a lot for us next season

View attachment 444977

Danger in Texas with 333

Ummed and ahhed about him or Nathan Brown with my last pick.

I think Keath will play and we'll go Talia, Hartigan, Keath and Kelly. I pray that our coaching staff will realise that's too tall and static and swap Keath and <redacted>. But I fear they won't and we'll go Tall Tall Tall in an increasingly fast and mobile competition.

The plus side is that you'll get 22 games out of Keath...

Jake Melksham (Dees)

Danger in Texas

He's actually great value at this point. Used to be a bit of a spud but pops up with a few goals for them now.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Give me 10, really not sure with this one

Keath will take levers posi imo

Yeah back sorry had to drive home from trivia night

Which pub do you go to for that?

Have tried a few places. The host me and some friends really liked moved on and was replaced by two 'fun and zany' co-hosts. They have injected lots of games and hijinks, nominating people from your table to come out, multiple rules and different segments etc. Needless to say we stopped going instantly. Just ask the damn questions.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Keath will take levers posi imo

I think you're right and it will be a mistake

 

[Danger in Texas]

I do need a pressure forward, and I’m finding it hard to choose between two, but I think I’ll go with this bloke.

Pick 336 - Kayne Turner

[Maggsy]

Bit off topic, but interesting all the same..

In the past 10 years,. here are our 1st draft selections and the impact they've had in their first year, AND I think the Fog is a more mature body than all of them.

2016: XXXXXXX
2015: Pk 11: Wayne Milera : 8 Games, Avg: 11.1 Poss, 3.1 Marks, 2.1 Tackles, 5 goals total.
2014: Pk 14: Jake Lever : 12 Games, Avg: 13.7 Poss, 5.0 Marks, 1.2 Tackles, 3.3 rebound 50s.
2013: Pk 23: Matt Crouch : 8 Games, Avg: 16.5 Poss, 3.2 Marks, 3.2 Tackles, 1.9 Clearances
2012: Tippett-Gate
2011: XXXXXXX
2010: Pk 14: Brodie Smith : 14 Games, Avg: 13.1 Poss, 2.7 Marks, 2.1 Into 50s, 1.4 rebound 50s. <-I realise not yet picked, but out for the year.
2009: Pk 13: Daniel Talia : 9 Games, Avg; 12.2 Poss, 3.0 Marks, 3.4 Tackles, 2.2 rebound 50s.
2008: Pk 10: Phil Davis : 15 Games, 12.6 Poss, 4.7 Marks, 1.4 Tackles.
2007: Pk 10: Patrick Dangerfield : 2 Games, Avg: 6 Poss, 2 Marks, 1 Tackle - Stayed in Melbourne for school

My prediction is he plays 10-15 games next year... BUT I agree it's a possibly he plays less than 5 too,.. who knows.

Draft Tidbits :

So far 336 Picks have been done,. ZERO Guys named 'John'

One Jon/Jonathon - Jon/Jonathon patton.

That's because there are no players in the AFL with the first name John since John Butcher was delisted

327 - Cameron Pedersen - MFC

Had a pretty good year



hendo8888 with 328

 

[hendo8888]

Pick 328: Tom Langdon

Has had a couple injury issues in the last 2 years, but is pretty much an automatic selection when fit.
Solid small defender who usually takes the big name small forwards and does a job every week.
Only 23, so has plenty of improvement left in him.
Unfortunately doesn't sport the long hair anymore, but I'm sure the rest of the boys will get him back to his best in that regard.
Think he's a decent get for first spot on my bench.

not the issue though, the question is will he be fit enough to play. I think we'll try to find a debut for him regardless but I doubt plays more than 3 or 4 games without one of 4 talls being injured.

That’s a 2017/18 style teeny tiny forward line.

Is it Peter Wright? Or Matt?

Remember - any teams with no Christian names gets zeros across the board from me
