Well that's unfortunate.. Hm.. It was May, Davis or Bont and now it appears all three are taken.

I'll get Back to you with that last selection

 

[Mercuri Rising]

Damn. Was hoping Bont and Cunnington would slide a little further. Ah well.

 

[Mercuri Rising]

Thanks for the speedy pick MightyDons4, stopped me umming and ahhing about taking that back and changing it.

Was praying you didn't steal him off me at the last moment

 

[Zach Package]

For once Ebert fell through to me.

Stoked

 

[eth-dog]

Romm is damn lucky, didn't realize he was still there.

 

[hollywood23]

pretty happy with Bob Murphy that late...Murphy and Birchall off half back is very handy.

 

[Mercuri Rising]

Was wondering how long Chappy would last. Good pickup.

 

[BomberTime]

The bottom end of the draft really flies through the picks.

 

[eth-dog]

Had a really difficult choice there. Went with the mid because there were still 4 or 5 options I liked in the other position.

 

[Shermy]

and that has made me a happy camper. I was surprised to find he hadn't been taken yet.

He's goooooooooooooone. Got absolutely annihilated by Jonathon Ceglar in the QF. Jonathon Ceglar.

haha, they are still getting the N0rf out of him. He'll be fine with a Cats pre-season

 

[Mercuri Rising]

Derp. Somehow got it into my head that Rampe was already gone. Enjoy Jack Package.

 

[Zach Package]

Wanted either him or Stratton, so i'm pretty chuffed.

TBH I was fairly close to taking him instead of Tom McDonald 2-3 rounds ago or whenever that was.

Pretty much how I feel that the bloke you just missed slipped through.

Premiership defender Ben Stratton through to pick 191

I just want to put my neck out here and say that my option to take Jesse Hogan is bearing fruitful.

With a CHF/FF duo of Jesse Hogan and Lance Franklin on paper is one of the best combinations in this fantasy draft.


Sure, Hogan hasn't played a game but ill tell you, the boy can play. The other combinations are made up of a true FF or CHF and a third tall parading around as a KPP. I think I saw one combination that I would classify as a true AFL line up (whoever had Tom Lynch). The rest, pfft.. come at me

 

[Kakkle]

Happy with my forward set up. Lynch/Belcho as the two key posts. Crameri finally able to play that 3rd tall and got a pretty handy 4th tall in Bontempelli who would be a handful along with Ballantyne. Zaharakis, GAJ & Martin all floating through there as well.

If the game was factoring in how players were going to perform in 2015 then I'm sure less people would be questioning it. But we're largely going off exposed form. Otherwise players like O'Meara and Wines would have gone much earlier IMO.

Eth Dog does not have a genuine #1KPF or #1KPD

 

[Yoda_]

Just looking at the teams posted in the first page (Ashton Agar and BrewSmackerVeiny would be great if you could include your picks and a team in your first post like a rest of us buddy?)

fodzilla probably has the best KPF duo (J.Riewoldt and T.Cloke) whilst BomberTime also has a seriously good KPF duo (J.Kennedy & Sam Reid).

Alipate Carlile was arguably a top 5 KPD this season, and Henderson is definitely a #1 KPF
