Whitecross would've been available at your last pick.

Look I should probably apologise Eth. My frustration isn't really directed at you. I'm doing this elsewhere and there is a couple of blokes who after every pick go with the "Wow how did he drop."

Giving me the shots.

Understandable. Give me a link and I'll tell them which ones aren't surprising at all .

Pretty stoked to get a Whitfield/T. Adams combo so late...A lot of depth in the HFF/onball rotations with Caddy and Parker now.

Doing it through facey with mostly mates. Couple of randoms from my mates work and I am ready to kill them.

EG Carlton fan. Just got Judd at #63.

OMG he should've gone top 20.

**** off.

 

[MightyDons4]

Damn I wanted Pittard! His turnovers can be really costly but gee he's exciting to watch

Just don't expect Adams to dispose of it with any sort of directionality

 

[Kakkle]

Just got to get through the next 5 picks

Tom Rockliff seems to get away with it...I know he gets it a lot more, but I like Adams as a similar hard at it midfielder. Handy off the bench

Masten a v good pick up so late. Value pick.

Couldn't leave it any longer, had to pull the trigger, midfield depth is king, even if I haven't filled out my starting 18 as yet

Yep that's what I did with Stanton and Mitchell.

 

[Kakkle]

Very very very happy with Shaun Higgins so late in the draft

 

[eth-dog]

Atley at this stage was a very good pick. Underrated on here.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

As a late pick he's handy enough, but is a bit of an inbetweener. Doesn't get enough ball to be particularly damaging offensively, and is competent but not much more in defensive roles. There are definitely a couple of lockdown smalls still in the pot that I'd rather, but it's getting sparse for rebounders.

Are you planning to play Ibbotson loose down back or off a flank eth-dog ?

Depends. His defensive work is solid and it really allows Harbrow to move up the field. It varies for different forward line's.

I'm guessing your picked him up based on his 2013 form. Interestingly enough he only spent more than 40 minutes on a direct opponent twice for the whole season (stolen from the prospectus). Elite interceptor when playing the free man, jury still out when he has to play on an opponent IMO.

Last year his injuries were terrible.

Apologies gentleman, cricket is a harsh mistress.

Was actually hoping to get my pick in before I went in to bat today, bgt ended up picking about 3 minutes after I went in

Very happy with Cunningham that late. Top 10 in the Swans B and F.

I seriously considered him in my last bunch of picks but decided on Brown for structural purposes instead. Great get

Wow, had no idea. Nice get.

Good get BomberTime. Was hoping Rosa would slip through but to no avail
