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.

Not really a underrated player. Did his role when he was in the side, and has missed the better half of the last 2 years. More unlucky then anything.

Seriously have no idea who I'm picking next.

 

[Kakkle]

Well you're up!

Roll a d500.

Rolled the dice on Tim Mohr


Just counted 4 KPD I would've personally taken in front of him.

I can see at least 3, if they're the same I wonder who the 4th is.

Bugger ya Jack Package! Had eyes on the Bird for the last 15 picks hoping a tagger in a premiership side would last that long. Obviously not. Solid pick

It was a "meh" pick for me. Is he in Sydney's best 22?

Who else is going to tag for the Swans? the captain (Kieran Jack)? A youngster coming in? Anyone else?

Ben McGlynn is their #1 tagger.

Thought McGlynn was no.2 with Bird there no.1

Doesn't matter. He's a very good footballer and would do very well if given the opportunity to do so.

I've got my tagger and my defensive forward now, however they're both well capable in attacking roles as well

He's on the edge, he was the sub in all 3 of their finals. He did play 21 games though.

Look, you're probably right.. but I remember watching a GWS game and he stood out for me. But it's probably just because of the beard.

Probably the two 'roles' i still need to fill.

Tossing up between a youngster from a quality team or a revelation since moving into attack in 2012 from a (current) mid table side.

Is Whitecross in Hawthorn's?

We're in Fod Time.

Yep, I'm 11 hours back, so if it's before ~9PM AEST you're not getting anything out of me.

Anyhow, pick taken and lists updated.

Happy enough with Matt DeBoer.

Considered a pie and a young Swan but settled on the Docker who can fill in as a deffensive forward or as a midfield tagger.

I hope you're not picking the young Swan I think you're picking .

You can take the kid on three times the rookie wage having played less than 25 games

Guys, enough dropping hints about undrafted players.

I dropped no hints though!

No offence Fodzilla but it's kinda boring and feels like we are just playing poker at the moment..


IF we do this next time then allowing talk about undrafted players would really increase the anxiety in some drafters and people would play some serious games that way.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Essentially though, every time you make a post like that you're giving a leg up to someone and potentially ****ing over the guy right after him.
