'Bid Pending' strikes again...

 

[Reg Hickey]

With there being currently 8 picks til our next selection, my preferences in order are:

1. Phillipou
2. Ludowyke
3. Thredgold
4. Onley
5. Kondogiannis
6. Greeves
7. Blamires
8. Swadling

Rookie hunter Holmes or Mellor

ALL still available except for Thredgold.

Of those, personally I'd love to see Onley / Ludowyke / Blamires.

Of others, I like the sound of Rodriguez as well.

Phillipou way too much of a FIGJAM for mine. Could potentially end up like Mitch Thorp.

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

We went Hunter Holmes

 

[fpm84]

HUNTER ****ING HOLMES!

 

[Reg Hickey]

Wow, Hunter Holmes!

 

[Cataholic]

Hunter

 

[ndduyk6]

love the pick

 

[STPer18]

 

[strauchnyy]

Did we just draft on romance and not brains?

 

[SkittleCats]

Hmmm, hope this isnt a pick just because Max is on the list, feel like there are better options we are passing on here.

 

[PzBlinky]

Wow, didn't expect us to pull the trigger on Hunter.

? Surely he's more like Max.

 

[Bagelboy]

Interesting, didn't think we'd take him there.

 

[SkittleCats]

We have a weird obsession with brothers being on the list.

 

[catstorm]

We have a weird obsession with brothers being on the list.

I mean it's mostly worked out for us though, hasn't it?

 

[year of the cat]

Wanted him and must have known he wouldn’t make it through to the rookie list.

 

[small 4wards]

hoping for a Zuthrie arc

 

[calder_daddy]

We have a weird obsession with brothers being on the list.

Seems to work just fine

 

[cats_09]

Wanted him and must have known he wouldn’t make it through to the rookie list.

Or they're banking on Mellor slipping through to rookie him

 

[Gavin Excell]

Did we just draft on romance and not brains?

Think have to back wells in

 

[SkittleCats]

I mean it's mostly worked out for us though, hasn't it?

Past results are not an indicator of future performance.

 

[joe444]

I'm ok with Holmes.

Earlier, strauchnyy posted a list of possible picks and nothing really stood out except that none them could kick.

 

[STPer18]

Roll the 2020 thread!

 

[Reg Hickey]

Did we just draft on romance and not brains?

I think you'll find they're a little more professional than that.

 

[bombersboy]

We would have a good insight into his character. Seems to have high potential toolkit. Key to development is how coachable he is and I think we would have a good read on that.
