Pick 4 Mitch Thorp Brisbane
Thorp can play as a defender foward or even a tall midfielder. He as a tall player shows the rare ability of being a ball magnet. He got MVP for Tas in the under 18 championship averaging 21 poss and taking 26 marks.
Why Brisbane need him? Brisbane seem to struggle in their backline and using Thorp in the backline for 2-3 years would be very helpful. By the retirement of Bradshaw Thorp can play as the 2nd tall for the lions even a HF position.

guys guys guys...
mish last year ran a pretty tight ship and overral it finished in about 2-3 days..
it is a process, of which you need to clarify for the official, as you'd need everyone online at once with no interruptions from anyone else not taking part.
HOWEVER- at this stage weeding out all the not so certanties- patience is a must.
ROta69 it's best leaving it to the people nominated, even if they dont come online for another hour or so.

That was because we were pressed for time, and he got people to PM him a preference of picks when your pick was in the next 5 or so. As there is no time issue, it will probably take a week or so to complete.
Who are the nominated father-sons?Hawkins obviously but are there others,for example will Carlton do Sheldon?
Also Gilly sent me a PM requesting that I do the Melbourne picks for him for tonight only as he has gone out.

I think that the pre-requisite for patience is that all 'recruiters' should post a fair amount of info on why THEY feel the club will benefit from the pick they have named.
None of this
'Bryce Gibbs - Pick 1 - Yay Go Carlton' repetitive crap. If you havn't seen the player and can't comment on what he plays like (like I will most likely when it gets around to Richmond), at least comment on why you feel that type of player will fit into the teams structure well.

We all need to be patient. Not everyone can be online at once. Let it run its course and i'm sure there will be heaps and heaps of discussion about this.

Pick 5- James Sellar; 196 cm, ? Kg, 17 years old (1989) from Glenelg.
Disapointing nationals where reports were he had the flu. Anyone who was present at the U16's nationals in 2005 would have witnessed what he is capable of.
Strong hands, big kick, fantastic leap, very much a josh fraser type ruckmen who would be more suited to a CHF/CHB position in AFL ranks. Runs like a ruck rover with plenty of speed and agility, as well as a good running capacity aerobically. Looks awkward with his kicking but effective. Could possibly turn into a Riewoldt type with the guidance of some foward coaching.
AIS-AFL Academy 2005-2006, Kevin Sheehan Medallist 2005. Local boy (no go home factor)

I went for Thorp based on who would be more valuable to the club. Im sure brisbane supporters would love to have another selwood but in the next few years height may be an issue for the lions. Also i find Thorp to be an absouloute gem in this draft his ability and his game presence is at a very high standard.DanA said:
