Cant believe Bernice Vince lasted till here.. Seriously under rated player

Good pick but not who I expected you to take. Armitage was a better pick IMO

 

[Zach Package]

Stokes, Adcock, Garland, Armo, Vince.

5 of the 5 I had earmarked for my next selection gone in one fell swoop

 

[Kakkle]

There is seriously some good picks out there still. 3 others I was seriously considering at the last 2 picks.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

At this point a lot of people are fixing structural gaps so have to reach a bit.

Do we have exactly 22 picks?

25.

Kane Cornes...8th league for effective disposals, 16th round of the draft.

I do have two particular spots that needed a bit of plugging but thats too good to pass on

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Yep, unfashionable but effective. Was contemplating him when I took Scooter, and I figured one of that sort was enough.

Selwood was a good pick, one I was hoping people would forget about because he didn't do a lot this year because of injury

Yeah, absurd that he's slid so far. Probably should've grabbed him instead of Greene, ah well. Good pick.

131 bit early for Langford IMO

Lucky it was actually pick 231 then.

Surprised Caddy lasted that long.

 

[Kakkle]

Finally Dale Morris gets taken. So underrated.

 

[BomberTime]

Considering they are late picks, I'm reasonably happy with Astbury, Grundy and Morris as my key backs.

Looking at the teams, some pretty solid teams being created.

Surprised Caddy lasted that long.

Happy with Caddy on a HFF to change with Luke Parker in the middle when he needs a rest.

Puopolo so late was surprising to me also. One of the best defensive small forwards in the game and 9th in the BnF of the premiership team.

 

[eth-dog]

Another player I expected to be picked that hasn't been yet, very accomplished player.

 

[Kakkle]

Hmmm, the player I really want next, will 100% not be there at my next pick.

two really good value picks there

If it's either of the players I think you're talking about, it isn't surprising, considering the seasons they've had and the scope for improvement in the guys already taken.

I won't be picking him up, but he's an important player in a very good side.

Was I reaching for Whitecross there? I needed a midfielder who could play forward and looking through the available players I struggled to find one better. A couple of my mids could rotate into defence (Mitchell, Guthrie) but only one forward (Jetta). Underrated player, but I think I'm looking at a middling side right now.
