He may have left it on, however might be away from his computer. I think it's only fair to give it an hour or so.

I'm happy to wait too, but he's had plenty of chances to take his pick. He's made 15 posts since it became his pick. Also Thunderstruck is waiting for him to have his pick. If he was keen on this wouldn't he have posted here by now, especially after I sent him a reminder via PM.

ok, as Thunderstruck is stil online and Grub has gone offline, I'll pick for Sydney. Give us a minute or so, while I have a look at who Sydney would need.
 
I'd rate Connors as the next best available, but I don't think he'll suit Sydney's style of play.

Sydney Pick 15 - Broc O'Brien

Will write up a bit about him either after the footy show, or tommorow sometime.

Reid - Bottom Aged as well. has that scarey word - Potential.

O'Brien - I'm guessing he could be a HUGE BOLTER come draft day.
 
Adelaide Pick #16 Daniel Connors (Bendigo Pioneers)

Adelaide pride themselves on hard players who are strong at the footy and use the ball with skill and Connors is no exception. To continue the replenishment of a midfield that will rapidly lose some grunt in coming years (Ricciuto, Goodwin, McLeod, Edwards) are all getting on and even tho we have Knights, Van Berlo, Reilly, Porplyzia, Douglas, Vince, Pfieffer, they are not enough.

Good in traffic, excellent foot skills, and strong overhead 184cm 77kg so not a undersized type, may grow a tad more and end up a strong bodied player that we need.

Great Description, absolutely love this kid.

Pick some holes in my profile thunderstruck:p , wrote this about 2 months ago.

DANIEL CONNORS

Height-Weight-Age

182cm-77kilos-22.09.88

AFL LIKE

Simon Black ( SILKY ) with Luke Hodgish FOOTSKILLS

CHAMPIONSHIP POSITION

HFF-HBF-WING-ONBALL-KICKING OUT . Wish coaches of the under18 teams would put players onball that are likely to be darfted instead of mature aged men with no chance of being drafted all in the hope they can win the championship title. Professional recruiters must get so ****ed with the champiobship sometimes and the process.

AFL POSITION

RUCKROVER-CENTRE-QUARTERBACK(at worst) - will make it as a very very good centreman/ruckrover but if that fails could always be used in the new AFL position, Quarterback/HBF.

KICK

LEFT - 50+ m distance. 9.5 / 10. Spearing left foot laser kick. First rate balance and timing with kicking

HANDBALL

9 / 10 – awesome by hand and will only get better when he builds on his 77 kilo frame. Once he adds power to his skills.

STAR

this kid just oozez class, lightly framed midfielder who rarely ever wastes a possession. Must be noted early that this kid has a killer left foot. No up and under kicking on conners, just a powerful left foot with great kicking action and awesome results. If this kid falls to us in the second round I will be doing cartwheels in my loungeroom.

plays both midfielder roles very well. Would have loved to see him playing a whole game onball. Awesome at stoppages and everything he does is clean and SILKY. He seems to do everything at ¾ pace, but have put this down to the fact he has more time that others on the footy field.

Watched him at the champs run in2 a contested situation at full pace, pick the ball up one handed. Sprint away from pack and deliver a perfet kick of his left foot. 5 minutes later he repeated his one hand pick up and delivered a spot on handball 20 m to a teammate in space. Conners just has that touch of class about him.

Not ur huge possession gatherer. But would take 20 of his touches up against 30 of just about any other onabller in the draft.

Skinny frame, so upside is there. Another 10 kilos on his frame and he adds more power to his foot and hand skills. Just finished watching the replay on foxtel, commentators likened him to ellis. Nothing like ellis in my opinion. He reads the play well and is very clean like ellis but conners has it in spades over ellis with his kicking and hurt factor on the opposition.

WEAKNESSES

Tackling need some work and needs to add 10-12 kilos to his frame, but scope is there for him to improve in these areas.

RANKING – 10
 
Pretty happy with Connors, if crows get him for real I will be over the moon. They should be able to get a very good player with that first pick, not necessarily be #16 (but lets hope it is :cool: )

We need KP players as well, especially up forward, moreso due to unlikelyhood of Gibson ever playing AFL. He is all crash and bash which is good, huge leap but never seems to put together good games of footy. Injuries not helping him. Perrie is also getting on a bit. Few good young KP players coming up in the SANFL so see how we go.
 
Good pick up TS.

I personally didn't find his champs as impressive as others did, however he definitely has class and would be a fantastic selection at 16.
