Pick damn it.

People should check and post in this thread AFTER their picks.

I just look at my alerts from the bottom up . This one came first, so...

I seriously don't know how Schulz lasted that long.

Meh.

Only on weekdays for the 9-9 limit. Screws people around if they play cricket or some other sport on Saturday.

Inbox a preference of players they would like to select to a few users, problem solved.

This isn't the delusional pearlers mate.

I got 5 mids in mind for the next pick. None of whom are Priddis.

Who's also the best contested player in the game.

Yeah ok. Lol.

If they are who I think they are, Priddis is better than all of them IMO.

Priddas. Heh.

Nah.

Top five in disposals, contested possessions, clearances and tackles yet you don't seem to rate him. Will be interesting to see who you pick up then!

Have you actually seen what he does with his disposals and clearances? Watch the first 10 mins of the game against North Melbourne where he got a couple of votes. 2 of his kicks resulted in North goals. There is a reason why coaches don't send anyone to tag him.

His kicking efficiency is poor. About 55-60% I think.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

And I had been thinking this so not directed specifically at you Shermy but surely 24 hours is to long? At our current rate we're going to take nearly 6 months to finish, been 8 days and I've had 2 picks.

Eh? At 40 picks a week or so, that's 10 weeks max. It's not a race, half the point of this is to soak up time through to March.

Yes his kicking is abysmal at times, but surely his inside work and pressure more than makes up for it. If West Coast had more than a couple decent outside mids then his Achilles heel wouldn't be shown up so often. The reason why coaches don't send a tag to him is because he's untaggable, same reason as why Stephen Hill gets the tag instead of Nat Fyfe.

That high?

I may have been exaggerating slightly

Was very close to taking Hodge, but decided on Ward. Just saw that he was taken at #40. That could have been a disaster.

Booo. You rat, only had to last a few more.

Mumford a steal at that point. Mumford, Boak and Mitchell in the midfield? Yes please.

Killer midfield, too bad your KPP's will consist of Carlisle, Shoenmakers, Casboult and Taberner

Carlile*. Also there's a few gun KPP's left...

Are you saying the great Levi Casboult isn't a gun?
