[BomberTime]

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

Very happy with him at this pick. An underrated player.

Poor man's Stanton IMO. Not very good inside and not very fast. Part of the Eagles midfield problem.

 

[hollywood23]

The fact Dawson is a KD for one of the best defences in the league swayed me to get him in as my 3rd KD. Even if I don't rate him terribly highly, he is effective in spoiling and as a 3rd man up. Lewy Taylor is surely a steal.

 

[Mercuri Rising]

As ever, thanks for making my decisions easier MightyDons4. It was one Dog or the other.

 

[boncer34]

I had 3 blokes in minds. And thought when we got to 3 picks away that at least one would slip to me.

Now I have no clue. This may take some time.

Hahaha no problem, needed a tagger and someone who could rotate through the backline so why not get a two in one deal with Picken

Yep, exactly. I needed that, but I'll settle for tagger/inside depth instead.

Zac has been a been a very decent defender for an extended period of time. Would've picked him in front of a few KPD who were taken before him.

he plays defence and has done for 3 years now (when not injured of course)

What? He plays on a wing, their small defenders over that time have been a combination of Bennell, Butler, Hurn, Waters, Ash Smith, Brennan and Carter.

When Rosa is fit, he plays. Did not play a game at WAFL level in 2014!

Although, i may have egg on my face here and have Rosa and Butler mixed up here

 

[Kakkle]

Rosa is as uncountable as they come. So you've def picked up the wrong player. Butler is also rarely on the park for an extended period of time. 120 games in 11 seasons. On paper Butler would've been a good pick, because your back 6 is quite poor IMO.

Yes, I'm not disputing that, but he doesn't play defence at all.

He was a good little player in 06-07 IIRC.

Perhaps the tags are not working, i know some of mine haven't. Might be best to send him a PM just in case.

Yeah, they weren't working for him before - but he saw my pick yesterday. Tick-tock.

Well he is in Baghdad, internet connection over there is probably pretty lousy

I'm happy with Suban. I have some pretty poor kicks in my side (Carlile, Mumford, Dixon, Viney), but surrounding them with some great kicks is a necessary part of my plan. Suban can play HB and midfield, and hoofs it a mile.

My forward line is pretty poor though.

 

[Shermy]

whats the go there, has Boncer been skipped due to time?

Yep, been more than 24 hours

He can jump back in whenever he's available.

Still unsure as to why you picked up WhiteX so early.
