Competitions AFC Board Draft Game 2017 Thread...

[FAITH]

Preparations for Friday mornings start to the draft looking good.

 

[FAITH]

OK discussion, banter etc for the 2017 AFC Board Draft game may begin in this thread.
Try to make it fun this year with quality posts and photos to be rewarded in final rankings.

 

[Danger in Texas]

I want to start

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve!

Won't be able to sleep.

Just want to open all my draft pick presents. And, more importantly, watch others unwrap dud gifts.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

I'm ready

 

[FAITH]

Kinda tough with ranking players this year IMO, a lot of kids gone into the elite category.

 

[FAITH]

Crowd building nicely....

Journos all here:



Good old shifter too:

Alright - picks in this thread, dumb banter in the other? How we doing this?

Does this mean 1990 can pick tonight?

Selection 1

Dustin Martin (Richmond)

What a season. Every single week this guy dominated for his side and in the end he was a huge reason for the Tigers winning the flag.
Brownlow medalist, premiership player, All Australian, Norm Smith medalist, MVP (players), coaches association award. He was by far the best player.

The risk is whether he is capable of backing it up.

I say he can.

Danger in Texas

 

[Deaneus!]

Danger In Texas has until 11am, correct?

 

[Danger in Texas]

Alright, this guy might have left our club, but he's hands down one of the best players in the league. Explosive, damaging and can break open a game in a matter of minutes. Something tells me he's going to return to his 2016 form next year, especially considering the development of some of their younger players and some of their off-season moves. Just gotta hope he doesn't get past a prelim again

I'll be selecting Patrick Dangerfield.

May you rack up Brownlow votes, but not premierships, for as long as you like.

P.S. sorry to steal your CEO, Scorpus

 

[FAITH]

Yep.
Nice pick there, come long way this season.

 

[FAITH]

OK, those were my top 2, with pick 3 I've gone lance franklin. Still the most dangerous forward around, but also liked a couple of others.


Pick 4 hendo8888 on the clock til 11am

Pick 4: Nat Fyfe

I saw enough in the International Rules games to suggest he's going to be back to his absolute monster best.
At his best, there's no one better in the league. Not Dusty Martin, Not Patrick Dangerfield. I think his ceiling is higher than anyone's.
Hopefully he can stay healthy, because the AFL is so much better when he's running around. Love watching him play.

Strong top four. No surprises yet.

 

[dogs105]

Well i had my Nat Fyfe spiel all ready...

So will now have to go with next year's Brownlow medallist Josh Kelly.

Pick 4: Nat Fyfe

im a little surprised by this, didnt have him in my top 10, like to know why you rate him so highly.

The way he moved in the International Series was close to his 2015 season, appears to have overcome injuries he has had since. Naturally I think his performance will match.

 

[Danger in Texas]

I personally had Fyfe at 3.

Yeah I had Fyfe at 3, Buddy at 5.

My number 4’s still there
