Anyone keen? Build a club from scratch, aiming for as many flags as possible. Current players only.
Age is important on these, and synergy between your players.
its a 24 hour clock and If your pick isnt made you will be skipped.
If possible please leave your picks with a fellow participant if you will be absent for a period of time.
A short explanation on your pick would be kool to ;)

Well there would be pretty big gaps between picks as we have 10 people..
and if you cant get on you can leave your picks with me so I can enter them for you...
I'm actually out of my depth in AFL, so you won't see many arguments in this one ;)

Ok let's win this draft. ;D :P

Im thinking off letting anyway join until Sunday.
So Ill pm all participants letting them know that this starts on sunday.
Yeah, I'll give it a go, but I might have to PM someone my picks on occassions.
as hawka is unable to access the internet for a few days due to a move, he has asked me to relay his picks, so if somebody could PM when its hawkas pick that would be great :)

Ok I guess after 2 PM's from maca requesting my presence in this draft I will have to submit and say I will join.
Although AFL is not my strong suit so not sure how I will go. Can I just pick the Crows team? They will win the most premierships in the next 5 years :P

The Pressure is on!!!! ;).
Since this is a dynasty, for the next 5 years or like 8 years? And how many players for each team? Just the 22 or have like 30? 22 would be faster by a mile :P.
Yes just pick whenever. I.e now ;)
i know who is first. pretty obvious two great picks that i have my eye on.
Kk Maca :).
I'm not giving my strategy away :D.
So starts tommorrow?

I'm ready if BOOMZ is ready. My pick is sorted.
Is this for the next 5 years or so? Can keep my strategy if it's like that and not for now.
I take....
(http://mm.afl.com.au/Portals/0/brendon-goddard-roars-246c.jpg)
Best all round player in the competition IMO. Can play anywhere and is only turning 26 this year.
(http://thesportingcapital.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/LanceFranklin_246c.jpg)
Buddy is pick #2. He's got age, he's got talent and he's a very, very dangerous player to have in the team. Gives me a solid KPP to help build my team around. Is a tad inconsistent but can surely win games off his own boot which makes him the type of player who deserves #2.

next 5 years. basically. But yea, can still pick older players if u want as the criteria is most premierships for aslong as possible.
Buddy was the guy I wulda taken at pick 1. But I have pick 11 ::)
Interesting first 2 picks. Looks like I can get my pick after all.

Well im going to choose Joel Selwood he's only going to be 23 this year he's a great in and under player which is the key to a good midfield, his leadership for a young player is phenominal and yeh this bloke is just an absolute gun.
I was thinking Selwood as well but there are plenty of mids to choose from for me :D. Nice Leader there.
pot wont be on til tonight, he has some nba picks to do too...

yeh pot wont be on as his at the brisbane game but ill text him and ask him for his picks.
Pothead just texted me saying he will take pendlebury. He can do a write up later tonight.
Andrews pick.
Nice pick.
Yeh was between pendles and selwood for me
I had Selwood & Pendles in mind too but for pick 1 I didn't want a mid... so many of them!
1 and 2 obviously just went.
Deciding.
Going to take GAJ. Obviously the best mid/fwd in the game still. Ball magnet, kicks goals, loads of contested possies and only 26/27. Bring it on.
Good pick andrew. ML and BB are up.
we will take jumping jack flash.
i suck at write ups but ok.
Jroo is the reigning coleman medalist. He will be the focal point of our attack. He is young and is a legend of the future. Will get ml to add as i suck at write ups.

haha nah BB thats fine. Just a sentence or 2 will suffice :)
Good pick btw. Hawka's pick, but I think pyro will be making it for him?
Thanks, he was who i thought andrew would pick so stoked when i got him.

Andrews pick.
Yeh i picked Pendles because he is already a gun midfielder that can go up and play in the forward line aswell as a small forward he gets alot of the ball and uses it well and is still is very young :)

no worries :P I know who I want. Fingers crossed!
Ok so every good team needs a good ruckman. So why not get the biggest and best? I will pick 211 :) He is 28, so still got some good years ahead of him in my opinion. He is so dominant at stoppages and also he moves around the ground extremely well for a big man. Can rest him up in the goal square when he is tired where he will take marks and score goals. Welcome Aaron to your new club ;)

happy to help maca :)
fuuuu. Had the giraffe lined up for my next pick.
Lol big Sandi was never going to last past the 1st round.
Marcz is up the me.
Brothers stick together! :P
Chris Judd :P
Ill take two young guns, one is 21 and the other is 20.
I will take Cyril Rioli and Michael Hurley.
Cyril provides my team with X-Factor, and I belive he will be the best player in the game in a few years.
He is so fast and silky, constantly providing pressure to the ball carrier.
Hurley is such a good forward for a 20 year old. He is versatile so can go and play back line when I need him to.
Great kick for goal and can kick 50m on both feet. Great pack mark and isnt bad on ground level.

flower u maca >:( :P I wanted 1 of them... but my other one is still around 8)
Nick Riewoldt...
I think both were taken quite early! Rioli is understandable but Hurley is too early for me! Ah well, long way to the end so who knows if they are genius this early ;).
Nice Marcz.

Nice Marcz.
Hurley is 20. So much upside and it is a dynasty. I reckon he is a better pick than roo cas he is on the decline IMO.
arggh you took my next pick maca i was gonna pick him instead of pendles but then i decided that i would hope that he lasted till next round :'(
He's good for a Dynasty but maybe could have slid to next round ;). He's a good pick for Dynasty I agree but with the talent available :o.
yeah he is my favourite player in the whole competition and i am fairly pissed with the suspension that he was given lol
that would be on the hope that one day he dominates, right now he doesnt do didley except show flashes of brilliance...
Roo is the best CHF in the comp bar maybe one other who is incredibly fragile so im gonna have to disagree with that Roo>Hurley in this draft
Roo will never will be what he was.
Roo > Hurley is probs rite but in a few years I nthink Hurley will be the benchmark.
Just opinion though. :P
Roo and an unnamed draftee were the only other forwards that may be considered a better KPP.
So think there will be a scarcity of forwards.
Hurley def does some things that r wow, he kicks like freakn mule on both sides...
Quote from: Marcz on April 04, 2011, 09:50:12 PM
Hurley def does some things that r wow, he kicks like freakn mule on both sides...
hellz yea. perhaps I got paranoid and took him early but my next picks are light years away :-\ Have to go with a certain strategy and take a risk when you get the last pick. :)
Older guys getting underrated here. Roo is only what 29 or 30? Still has 2 seasons @ being the best HF in the game at least,
only 28 Judd 27 both still have 4-5 years in them
Roo is certainly still miles ahead of Hurley for the time being. Hurley still yet to hit his prime and would give another 2/3 years to Roo before Hurley takes affect.
Bugger was hoping Roo would drop back to me, was tossing up between him and Sandi for my first pick but thought Roo had more chance slipping back to me than Sandi did. Now to think of someone else to take...
Ok with my next pick I'm going to take a guy who is capable of controlling a game single handedly, whether he is playing across the half back flank or running with the ball through the middle. He was the number 1 draft pick when drafted, a 3 time All-Australian and only 26 years old so still plenty of football left in him. He is also a great captain with natural leadership ability, getting the most out of players around him by leading by example. One of the most respected guys in the AFL, I pick Luke Hodge
(http://www.aflfootyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/luke-hodge.jpg)
Didn't think he'd last long :-X My pick is still around ;D
Pryo do you know who hawka want's to pick with his next pick?
hawkas next pick is bryce gibbs
Gibbs I was seriously thinking about for a long time, but went Hodge instead
Interesting pick...
I hope my player last's the next 2 picks.
yea i was contemplating gibbs over cyril..
Skipped?
Hasn't been 24 hours yet. Weird that they haven't picked cos both BB and ML have been on a lot in that time
Sorry guys. We just haven't really been on at the same time. Should pick tonight though.
take 5 minutes to make a short list then its just insert ur pick when the time comes...
That will hoepfully happen. BB's mostly in charge because I have got a lot of homework.
I've PMd him so when he gets on we should be able to pick.
I made a shortlist when I did this for the other draft. Joined up with BB eventually and just went with 1 pick to each person every time (1 him, 1 me, 1 him, 1 me).
Shortlists help but I'm winging this as I actually know a bit about AFL players :P.
Point of having a partner is that it speeds up the draft. No point in having one if you are just waiting for each other every pick.
stuff u ml im picking roughead as there is a lot of midfielders on the table.
EDIT: VOID
:o find that a strange pick but anyway...
Take Jono Brown. 2nd best HF in the game and prob the best kick for a HF too. He is 29, woopty doo. Still got loads left in him.
GAJ
Brown
wait can i change it? i just realised we needed a mid.
I pick marc murphy.
O.O
Really? This early :o. That's pretty Bold right there!!! Why don't we just let you two discuss it for a few minutes and delete that pick if you want ;).
is he on?
...... He picked. Shouldn't be allowed to repick.

Nice combo there. Brown dominant as long as he can avoid those unfortunate injuries!
I think we can let them off this time as it obviously wouldn't have changed your pick. But next time won't be so lucky ;).
Seeing as Andrew had aready picked I don't think u should really be allowed to change :-X

Some pop ups for new posts have not come up for me either! I was suppose to post straight after BOOMZ first post after you made your pick!
There was some inhouse colliding of heads so up to the majority and what they go with.
Sorry guys. The mixup happened because I wasn't online due to bloody homework.
Your decision on the matter.
I will pick deledio he is only 23 and he can play backline, midfield and even go forward he is so versatile and has a great ability to get the ball.
yep pick is done, cant take it back the draft moved on...
Well i'm going to go ahead and choose Mathew Pavlich, He can play fwd bac mid, he's just a genuine all rounder and superstar of the game.
Hp come on down ;D
Back to me already? :o. Give me a second as I'm not ready!
U better not take my pick :-X
Woops! Wrong player :-[. I'll change it quickly.
damn :-X was just about to take my pick lol
Can I make my pick again? I put up the wrong write up by accident :-\.
Yea coz no one went so go ahead ;)
Anybody see that?
Doesn't matter..... :-X.
My next pick is my CHB in Harry Taylor.
(http://www.abc.net.au/reslib/201009/r639394_4415412.jpg)
An outstanding player with great ability to hold him opponents. He's certainly one of the top backs in the league and his best is still yet to come. He's a strong mark and spoil and certainly worth my pick.
Good pick HP he was my next option if this guy had got taken....
(http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRq86q8U6GYXdMrCg_WjM0znYHbgNCiOWZU6N8GQE5cQ7zzvSHe_Q)
James Frawley
One of the best defenders in the AFL and only 22. Came into his own last year & that should continue for years to come. Will be the rock of my backline at FB.
Yep. I was tossing up between the 2 as well but prefer Taylor for CHB as I have my FB in line waiting ;).
Frawley looks great 8).
I'm off in like 5 minutes so I'll leave my pick with somebody? Anybody still on?
Mark Lecras I'll do a write up in a minute.

My next pick is Andrew Swallow.
(http://mm.afl.com.au/Portals/0/images/AFL/AFL%20K-O/Swallow_Rd1309_246a.jpg)
Look at the picture, So intense, So committed, So chiselled.....Back onto topic now. He was put under the pump to lead the young and inexperienced Kangaroo midfield but he stood up and took charge. He's a future leader in the making and he's already one of the premier in and under players in the Comp. He's a hard worker when he has the ball or when he's chasing the ball. He leads by example and who doesn't want a player like that in their team?

Mark Lecras I'll do a write up in a minute.
One of the best small forwards around. Plays in a shower side & usually gets the main defender but still performs very well. only 24 & can run through the middle if needed.
No probs HP ;)
Ok well I'm going to choose Brian Lake, He's 1 of the best defenders in the game makes the opposition's forwards lives hell but also has that ability to go forward if needed. Just a great player.
this may be a pick that most people think is a bit to early but i need a good forward but this guy can go up and do some rucking aswell he is only 23 and has a bit of maturing still left to go so i pick kurt tippett
My turn?
I take the X-Factor in Alan Didak. Brilliant player and can create something from nothing.

Why is that?

ah cool thats good ;) guessing he didnt leave picks with anyone then...
You can ask Pyro to facebook hawka's for picks? We've been doing that for the Soccer Dynaasty as well.
Ok well since hawka has been skipped I am going to go ahead and pick one of the best and strongest key backmen going around, and I'm not just being biased since he plays for the Crows. I pick Ben Rutten. Still just 27 so plenty of footy ahead of him, he has earned the nickname Truck due to his size and strength. Capable of stopping the games best forwards he will be my rock down back.
(http://mm.afl.com.au/Portals/0/images/AFL/AFL%20A-E/br_rookie_a.jpg)
Marcz up now :)
Forward next round CF? :P.
Rutten is a great FB 8).
We will see HP, we will see ;)
I wanted to pick Harry Taylor, but you got him first :(
I would have picked up on Rutten a bit later on :P.
Paddy Ryder 23

Ill take Leigh Montagna and Jimmy Bartel.
These picks solidify my midfield. Now have some in and under players to dish it out to Cyril.
Both 27, but have 5 years left in them.

rotating out of full forward with Ryder in the ruck is Matty Kreuzer... these two will be tough to run with, and both r accurate goal kickers which will free Roo up to use his tank and not worry about having to kick a bag of goals...

i dont think its a blunder... when u want to build around someone it doesnt really matter where u pick them, u might have been able to get him with one of ur last 2 picks but u probably wouldve taken Jimmy with one of ur first 2 anyway...
ive taken Kreuz a little early but even before i took Roo and Judd i was hoping like hell Ryder and or Kreuz would be there, i see these two as the next step in the evolution of Ruckmen...
Taking Hurley before Roo, Pavlich, Brown etc etc is a massive mistake.
Hurley might not even reach the levels of those 3 players. Why take a massive risk?
it was a risk but im pretty sure he wouldve ended up with the same 4...

ease up andrew ::) Ill get more years out of Hurley and IMO will reach those heights.
Not a massive mistake like your saying, but a little mistake that I can make up for.
Meh, I think it is a massive mistake. I highly doubt Hurley will become the best forward in the game. But we will see.

Different Opinions. He is 20yrs old and already showing that he has the potential.
anyway you dont need to carry on, this is just a draft.
if Hurley was still there for ur 4th pick would u still have got the same 4 players Maca?
Hurley is alright and something he has that the Power Forwards don't have is versatility. He can play forward or back which is quite valuable considering where he is needed the most. Just to get that out there :P.

yeh Lake instead of Montagna isnt a "massive mistake". :)
Well looks like it's back to my pick :)
As I really have no clue what I'm doing in this draft I am going to pick a CHB to go with Rutten my FB. After picking an Adelaide player I am now going to pick an ex Crow, who moved to the sunny state this year, Nathan Bock. Bock just turned 28 so still got at least 4 good years ahead of him, when he was at the Crows Bock and Rutten formed a formidable defensive partnership capable of stopping any of the games best forwards whether they played full forward or centre half forward. You may think it is odd picking 2 defenders already, but you can't win games if you are conceding far too much, and with these two in my team I don't think that will be a worry :)
(http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2009/03/15/AD_Bock_gallery__258x400.jpg)
Just noticed that Bock is a bit on the heavier side at the suns haha.
watched the game yesty and looks like he spent his preseason at Hungry Jacks :D
I didn't think he did all that badly, even though gave 5 away to Hall, but the amount of times he stopped Hall was good.
Haha they probably train a bit easier at GC than Craigy trains them in Adelaide, which is why he has put on weight ;)
Injuries aren't his friend :P. He's alright but I had others pegged before him :-X.
Well as I said HP I don't actually know that much about footy so just going by what I know, and what I know is the crows :P
Haha, pick the entire Crows lineup :P.
Pick pestinko :)
Petrenko is better than everyone thinks, just cos he doesn't score well in DT/SC doesn't mean he isn't doing the job he has been assigned ;)
And HP I probably will, they have like the youngest side in the comp :P
Haha, they wish :P. Can they get younger (and greener) than the Suns? :P.
Haha ok not younger than the suns, but I posted something about how young Adelaides side was somewhere else. I will go find it...
Ok here is the thing about Adelaide's list. 22 of their playing list were 22 or under at the start of the season and only 10 over 25. Pretty darn young, and a lot of good talent there ;)
Quote from: Andrew3737 on April 10, 2011, 11:51:44 PM
I take Adam Cooney. Explosive player on the run and very effective disposal. Only 24(?) and already a brownlow medalist.

No he didn't. I did
He was telling me to pick him since HP told me to pick the whole Adelaide team ;)

I'm flying?
Think he means Jet?
I personally don't much care for Cooney and think he got lucky that year :P. But I have preference to Boyd :-*.
Cooney is younger and a better player imo. Boyd is a ball magnet tho.
yeah Jets 3 of em super fast>>>

I know. I just like Boyd more and have for a longer period of time. He's my Fav player so biased :P.
Ur teams old though, i dont like that u would pick the same if we werent doing a dynasty
lol.
You realise you can win premierships right away right? I'm taking advantage of the people overrating potential players. I don't have a player over 30 yet anyway. jono brown is 29. Didak is 28. I'm building a window. If I win one premiership, it will be more then 50% of the other people in this draft.
If i was you i'd be playing Dids on the half forward line i think he plays his best football there.
If you have these experienced players in your team they teach the younger players and help them develop. Plus there's plenty of good young players around.
I guess. I like him always near the ball though. So he can just work his magic whenever. But yes, I can put him in the HF line. See how my team pans out.
I guess you also have the option of rotating him and another midfielder through the Forward line instead of on the bench.
Then just relabel the draft as picking 29 yr old defeats the purpose imo.
But w/e.
Aim of the draft is to build a team to have the best chance of winning the most premierships.
Agree with andrew here. Someone has to win the premiership in the next 2 years and it's not going to be a team of 20 year olds.
My team so far:
FB - ???, Rutten, ???
HB - ???, Bock, ???
C - ???, ???, ???
HF - ???, ???, ???
FF - ???, ???, ???
R - Sandilands, Hodge, ???
May also play Hodge off a back flank, not really decided. As you can see like andrew's team it is full of experienced players as they have a better chance winning in the next 2-3 years :)
I've got:
HF: Buddy
HB: Taylor
RR: A. Swallow
Coming into their peak so looking good right now 8).
B: ---, Frawley, ---
HB: Goddard, ---, ---
C: ---, --- ,---
HF: ---, ---, ---
F: Lecras ---, ---
Foll: ---, --- ,---
Isn't it about players who are about to peak? 28-29 yr old have definitely already peaked.
No dynasty is about creating a team who is going to win the most premierships. In reality you want to get a good mix of Veterans and youth.

This. Some are in their peak while others coming up to it soon. So 20 y.o's aren't a great option but 22-24 year olds mixed with some in their mid-late 20's are a good mix.
Have a look at collingwoods team... They're still young & but have the experienced players mixed in.
Its about building a team to win premierships over a X amount of time.
For example, I pick the best players avaliable right now. You pick the best potential players that might* become elite. The best players will always win at this time. You may win later on but how many?
* the players who have potential to become elite, may even not become elite. They could get an injury or just not reach it.
With my current team, I am looking @ Premierships for the first 3-4 years and then rebuilding later on. In this draft, there will be about 3 teams that will dominate and the others will be borderline contending. That's generally how drafts pan out. So If I win just one premiership with this team, thats going to be better then almost all the teams that are in this.
When people say Dynasty, they always get young players. I am taking advantage of that and picking the best current players which gives me the best chance to win the most premierships. Its always my strategy to go all out with the best current players because it gives you a window where no one else really has one. Which gives me the best team for that year, and ultimately a premiership. I won't have as much competition in the 1st-3rd years as the other teams will have in 3rd-10th years. Gives me a lot better chance of winning premierships, which this draft is all about.
When u lose don't cry & moan like usual ok Andrew? ::)
lol.........
Also, is it going to be a poll thing as usual? What will be the question on the Poll? What is the best team? Who will in the most premierships?
Prob should sort it out soonish.
Don't think anybody has the game yet to be able to simulate it so guess a poll it is ???. Who will dominate the most over 8 seasons?
Because 37 yr olds always dominate.
Andrew there is no fken way your team will dominate over 8 seasons.
But he is going for short term rather than the whole time. It's his strategy and he's making a dynasty for straight away rather than 3 years down the track.
I thought it was 5 seasons HP?

I could simulate on Premiership coach, but it will take a flowerload of work.
Guess the poll for time constraints?
Yeah.
Question prob should be
Who will win the most Premierships in a 5 year time frame?
Or something like that.
Or people could list their top 3/5 teams for each of the 5 years and calculate it that way?
Could give them multiple votes to get a few teams who are the contenders for the best over the time?
Most premierships is usually the way to go. Most of my players will likely peak come middle of the dynasty and go through to the end. Guess it's how people perceive it.
Why don't we just go ability to win a premiership.
Year 1
Year 2
Year 3
Year 4
Year 5
And rate each year out of 10.
yeach couldve sworn i read somewhere in this thread it was 5 years...
B: ---, ---, ---

he is in the guts for now, depends how the rest of the draft pans out...
I thought it was just who's would win the most premierships without a time period...
i need a good backman so i will take karmichael hunt :P no i wil actually take jared rivers i think he is a great backman and is 26 six at the moment still has a good 5 or 6 years left in him at least
I am going to go ahead and choose the biggest X-Factor in the AFL Steve Johnson. He is an absolute gun he is probably the best half forward flanker in the game.
FB. ? B.Lake ?
HB. ? ? ?
C. ? J.Selwood
HF. S.Johnson M.Pavlich ?
FF. ? ? ?
FOL. ? ? ?
I/C. ? ? ?
Not bad picks ;). Rivers quite out there for me :P.
Mine will be up soon.
I was flipping between Didak and Johnson. Chose Didak due to his ability to get his hands on the ball more. Also, I think Didaks low point is higher then Steve J's low point, which is a big thing for me imo.
For my next pick, just imagine he can go a season without a big injury like last year. He is the one and only, Happy Chappy.
(http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2007/10/02/wbSPORTLIFEchapman_narrowweb__300x423,0.jpg)
I have stockpiled on quite a few up and comers who are already stars but might go for the Veteran head in Paul Chapman. When he is on field, no doubt he can play like one of the best in the game today. Turning 30 but will make my team competitive now combined with my other players.
Chappy good value here
Thanks Andrew. I was thinking the same for a HF flanker.
Now thinking of my next pick after Boomzie goes.

I'll take Mitch Clark.
He had a breakout year in '09 and can play forward as well. Came back to earth along with the rest of the lions last year but he's still a very good player and only 23.
Travis Cloke is my 2nd pick.
Very good mark & a decent kick except when he kicks for goal ::) Only 24 and is a good KPP.

Bursting on the scene 3 years ago, Greg Broughton set the AFL world on fire! He is a big reason why many teams are starting to look into mature age recruits.
(http://mm.afl.com.au/Portals/0/images/AFL/AFL%20F-J/_Greg_Broughton_246a.jpg)
I'll be playing him off Half Back where he does his best work, although may move to Back pocket depending on other players. He is very effective when rebounding or when asked to hold down his man. He has had his injuries, but if we ignore them, think he'll soon make it into STAR status as he's already a great player.
GRRRRR,
I was going to take my cousin -.-
Who's you cousin? Clokey?
Broughton yes.
Mums sister's son. First cousin :)
Quote from: Andrew3737 on April 12, 2011, 10:30:02 PM

now thats kool. I hate it when people claim AFL players as there cousins when there extremely distant, but good2 see yours isnt :)
Ah, nice 8).
Ok well I'm going to go ahead and choose Brent Stanton, he's a good hard running midfielder who's still young. I think he will work well along side Selwood.
Also, pothead has AFL Live preordered so he should have the game in a week or two.
He could maybe sim? Good progress with the draft BTW guys. :)
Me too. Going to be sick in a weeks time.

Anyway pothead has just texted me saying he picks Dale Thomas.

"Dyansty" would be exactyl the same as career mode in past AFL games. Indefinte game time.

hawkas next pick in Nick Dal Santo
(http://mm.afl.com.au/Portals/0/images/AFL/Saints/DalSanto_Eagles246x316a.jpg)
Ok I'm going to go ahead and pick a forward since I got the backs and rucks set up :)
I pick Chris Dawes. Tall, strong and a great mark of the ball, plus only 22 years old. Starting to show this year how good he is going to be in the future. Will spearhead my forward line for years :)
(http://resources0.news.com.au/images/2010/09/11/1225918/583612-chris-dawes.jpg)

Haha yeah heaps of mids ;)
Marcz up then maca with a double
yep :) can I get away with playing Goddard chb? lol
Haha no I don't think so boomz ;)
Dawes was my next pick :( have2 find someone else..
Have my next 2 picks lined up though.
the next big thing... 20 yo Patrick Dangerfield
(http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQcJhWcuND5dXMqtxtDQ9u4FZA0ZMWQ3snPV0zwXx25gQyw1p1mqg)
could play in the guts or off either flank with that dash...
other than Cyril is there anyone quicker than him with the pill in hand?
nice pick for a dynasty Marcz.
My picks are Jarrad Waite and Dean Cox.
Some may ask why im choosing Cox but he is still the number 2 ruckman in the game and is 29, so has hopefully 3-4 years left in him. hasnt slowed down with age and will work wonders with cyril, bartel and montagna in the centre circle.
Waite is very versatile like Hurley and can swap with hurley between CHB and CHF.
I belive versatile players such as waite and hurley win premierships with their unpredictability. They upset opposition strategies.
Good kick and Mark but I belive his best footy is at CHB with stints in the forward line.
27yrs old so has 5-6 years atleast as a KPP.

sticking with breaking the lines il take a lad that grew up down the road from me and can play flanks or midfield and kick goals...

Dlids still is imo.
Still remember im outrunning Juddy. And remembering him smashing the 100m sprint.
Considered Griffen, love his game style.
could and should go up another cog soon...
I wish Griffen had moved back to Adelaide :(
Amazing that the 2 best ruckmen in Sandi and Cox were both overlooked in their national drafts and taken in the rookie draft. Cox taken at 28 in the 2000 rookie draft and Sandi in the 2001 rookie draft.
I will get my pick up soon (once I work out who I want...)
I'm going to pick Kieren Jack. Only 23 and capable of shutting down many of the games big stars such as Judd, thanks mainly to his great tackling ability, due to him coming from a rugby background. Won the best and fairest at the Swans last year. Is extremely strong for a midfielder and for someone so young, I remember last year in the game against Carlton and he had been keeping Judd quiet all day so Judd tried to tackle him, but instead ended up on the floor after Jack lifted him off his feet whilst being tackled and kept on running. I thought it was brilliant haha :)

He's the future of our backline alone with Hooker to replace Fletch. Considering they are both still young, could be in for a nice solid few years when they reach their peaks and form a great combo.
No doubt HP. We have alot of young KPP.
Hurley can always go back there when one of them is injured to.
Future Spine. Hooker, Pears, Watson, Hurley, Gumby, Ryder.
^^^Flowering epic!
Anyway I think its BBs pick?
Yep, It's BB/ML's turn.
If we can recruit well now, we can continue and hopefully be a contender after a few years 8).

I agree. Think in next draft we need a mid sized defender and an outside midfielder to run and carry.
Although Hardingham seems to be doing ok as a mid sized defender atm.. better than slattery the spud.
Sent BB a pm so he should make his pick soon.
We're just working out a pick guys. Should be up soon.
ok. Our pick is a backman who I think is pretty underrated. Plays for the Bulldogs.
Dale Morris.
(http://mm.afl.com.au/Portals/0/Morris_Rd1108_246deep.jpg)
I like Morris. Very solid backman but doesn't get the recognition with Lake there.
Slattery is underrated ;). He's not a great player but his commitment is there. He's a tough player who does what is asked of him.
I agree on outside midfielder. We have those who play off the flanks but none who can actually have the tank to play the run and carry constantly.
I;m up?
Yep Andrew.
And then Pothead, Hulmie and back to me after that.
Ill never like Slattery :P
Yea outside midfielder with our 1st round pick would be fantastic.
Griffen would have been a fantastic pickup when we tried to get him in trade week 1-2 years ago.
True.. We got lucky with Heppell for our backline last draft so hopefully our luck continues :P.

Well ive watched 4 saints game in the last year and his role is to run and set up play across half back.
If he was to play Full Back on Buddy or Roo then he'd get hammered.
Dawson is the saints FB most of the time...
POint is, I can use him anywhere on the ground. And he is close to the best at doing whatever he is assigned to doing.

His not a fullback at all.

I don't mind I like watching u fail :)
Fisher is solid but more of a Back pocket :). He is really effective if left as a loose man set to rack up the possession and feed his teammates running out of Half Back.

Andrew stop the arrogance. Its clear your wrong about fisher. Also I like team 1 more than yours.
Cooney is a bit overrated for me and all the team 1 players are just coming into their prime.
Didak, Goodes & Brown will all retire in the next few years. Ur thinking about now I'm thinking about now & the future. ur team would be good for 1 season. Agree with Maca too Cooney is overrated.
ur not using wiki r u Andrew?
;D just jokes
Cooney overrated? Anything but. He is a brownlow medalist for gods sake. Didak and Brown aren't even 30 yet.
when did 34 yr olds gun it up? Only fletcher comes to mind.
Brown is injury prone & if u could read u would notice I said a few years. Cooney is massively overrated. He won a brownlow yes and he had a good year that year but he is not at all consistent like a great player should be.
I'm going to go talk to the wall now maybe it will actually listen :o

Brown is injury prone & if u could read u would notice I said a few years. Cooney is massively overrated. He won a brownlow yes and he had a good year that year but he is not at all consistent like a great player should be.
Yea brown has 1 year left in him i reckon. He is always injured and starting to feel it.
Cooney hasnt done much since.
BTW, Pothead chooses Shane Mumford.
damn I wanted mumford :-\
andrew just accept that some of ur picks are bloody old and will retire in 2-3 seasons.
That's fine. They are still elite.

when did 34 yr olds gun it up? Only fletcher comes to mind.
Robert Harvey comes to mind a few years back :P. Not what he use to be but was still great!
STOP THE FIGHTING! It's good if it's constructive but not if it's just full blown attacks like it's turned to.
HP, Its not really fighting. Andrew dishes it out, so Im sure he can be a big boy and take a few opinions.
Its not like im having a crack at him I just dont agree with him sayng Fisher is one of the best full backs.
But if his offended then im sorry ;)
Im sorry too but he started it :P ;D
Remember the NBA draft thread where there was more argument than there was picking! I would hate for this thread to be deleted and reopened :).
I agree Fisher isn't a Fullback anymore but he's not a horrible pick. He use to dominate when left as loose man.

Well his a great pick, just got picked for the wrong reasons.
But anyway, Hulmie is up! :P
Ok well I'm gonna go ahead and choose the best ruckman in the AFL :p. Josh Kennedy (WCE) good young key forward player. He already has established himself as a very good forward even with the shocking delivery he gets. So with a team getting good delivery into him I expect him to shine.
pothead texted me saying he takes Liam Jurrah.
Andrews pick, then BB/ML
Isn't it hello's pick

It is. Maca get rid of pothead's pick quickly.
Yeah it is ;). We just passed passed Potty :P. Delete it quickly Maca!!!
Don't worry, not going for him anyway.
Not sure yet. Will be up next 10 minutes or so.
Been changing my pick alot but I'll just get this out there. It is a dynasty and I believe this guy is the next BIG thing..... Literally. At 20 years old he is 206cm tall and has already shown he's adjusted to the AFL game in his first 2 games. I'm talking about Zac Smith. Seeing as Ryder has already been taken, I'll go for Zac as he's been very effective no matter where he has played for the Suns. His best is yet to come and will help with my team who are planning to make a run for the premiership halfway through.

Still tossing up about my second pick but I'll take Steele Sidebottom :) Can play forward or in the middle and has shown he likes the big occasion after having a great GF last year. will play him on the HFF.
My next pick will be up sometime tonight really can't decide :-\
Nice first pick there Boomzie 8).
B: ---, Frawley, ---
HB: Goddard, Grundy, ---
C: ---, --- ,---
HF: ---, Cloke, Sidebottom
F: Lecras, ---, ---
Foll: Clark, --- ,---
Gonna take Heath Grundy and put him at CHB. Had a great year down back last year & is still fairly young at 24. Can also go fwd if need be.
Very nice Boomz. Considered him as well :P. Guess that's what sparked him over the line for you ;).

I honestly can't think of a better FF prospect in their early-mid twenties so have gone with the young yet talented Charlie Dixon, yet another Sun! Just like Smith, he's a big fella and if he has decent delivery, he'd be a great FF in the future. With Buddy in my forward line, he won't get all the defenders onto him which will work into making my team even better come another season or two under his belt.

u guys have been having all the fun without me ;D
Ok well i'm going to go ahead and choose David Swallow he is going to be the next big thing, Just how mature and developed this kid already is at only 18 years of age shows how dedicated he is. He will be a superstar of this league without dought.
FB - ? B.Lake ?
HB - ? ? ?
C - ? J.Selwood ?
HF - ? M.Pavlich S.Johnson
FF - ? J.Kennedy ?
Foll - ? B.Stanton D.Swallow
O.O interesting pick Hulmie... Thought he would have lasted a while yet.
Well just IMO i think he is the midfielder in this draft with the most upside to his game. The potential is there and you can already see by the way he plays the game that he is going to be a star.
Lol hulmie follows the trend and picks another sun. :P
Interesting picks guys.
Well pothead picks Jurrah :) sorry about posting it early got a bit confused.
Back to andrew.
I picked the 2 best Suns so far :P. The next Best Ruck and a future FF as there are literally none I could find :P.
Swallow is alright but plenty of midfielders ;).
Don't worry bout D.Swallow he's going to be a gun future Brownlow Medalist IMO.
Swallow will be very good hulmie agreed but as HP said theres tons of midfielders... I just would have picked someone who has had at least a season at the top level and showed they can play before him... Swallow isn't a bad pick though. Potential is one thing but actually doing it is another.
I cant see one key forward! lol. Think I mite have2 play Waite at CHF and Hurley FF.

Haha, lucky you with them ;). That's why I had to take Dixon early since I couldn't see a decent one I could have for more than 2 seasons max :P.

LoL id reckon. Wanted Waite at CHB but no possible way I can find a decent KPP foward.
Dixons a good pick as there jack all I can see.
EDIT: Just found 2 ok Full-Forwards :P
Got my next double worked out.
whose pick? is it skippin time...
Andrew has 40 minutes.
Then he is skipped and its ML/BB.
cool... this time i wont forget HAWKA ;D
oki doki. give me a sec
I'll take DUFFMAN.
One of the best kicks in the comp, give me some rebounding from the back and can even play up forward/in the centre
I'm going to be out playing soccer so I hope BB sees this and picks.
I'll send a PM as well.
Damn just noticed pothead picked Liam jurrah :( now will have to think of another FF...
Also ML BB hasn't been on in a few days cos he has gone somewhere. You will nee to make the pick yourself ;)

Haha nice pick ML. Newman was in my top 5.
Thanks Maca.
He's in my SC team so he must be good. ;)
Ok so hawka up then me :)

Thanks Pyro. Over to CF, Marcz then me.
Ok give me a minute or 2 to think of my pick. Really struggling to think of a FF :(

No worries.
I can think of a few... I may go small though and put lecras at FF :-X
I can think of at least 4 good FF left.
Ok some may find this an odd pick, but I am going to pick Nic Naitanui to play at FF for me. You may think that is weird considering he is more of a ruckman, but with only 3 on the bench now I will be able to rest Sandi down at FF and move Nic Nat in to the ruck when needed. His athleticism is undoubted, at 2.02 metres tall he has an amazing standing vertical leap which will be a great asset down in the goal square. It is for that reason plus the flexibility of rotating with him and Sandi that I pick Nic Nat to play as my FF.

I'll take DUFFMAN.
One of the best kicks in the comp, give me some rebounding from the back and can even play up forward/in the centre
Nice pick! Great rebounder but I had another kicker ahead of him :-X.

Valkorums love child... breaking out massively right now can play tall or small Nathan Fyfe
Ill take Cale Hooker and Heath Shaw.
Hooker is only 22 and a great defender already and is only gonna get better.
Shaw is a great half back with a penetrating kick. Only 25 so is coming into his prime.

My team
B: __ C.Hooker ____

C: ____ Montagna ___

FYFEY!!!!! (Just for Valk).
I was hoping for Hooker with my next :(. Ah well, guess I'll look elsewhere now.... I'll be sure to draft a tagger for Heater :P.
Bugger was hoping to pick up Fyfe with my next pick :(
I'm surprised the guy I want is still around O.O
pretty sure this chap is still floating around...

i have a hunch of who that may be but im not certain :-\
I'm going to take 23 year old Robbie Gray. Everyone knows this guy is extremely talented, can play in the midfield or roam across the half forward line which is where I will play him. Had some issues with injuries, but if he can overcome them he will be a star player :)

I was planning Grimes + Gray but now have to rethink Gray's replacement.

I think my team is coming along nicely at the moment :) What do you think?

FF: ..., Naitanui, ...,
Foll: Sandilands, Hodge, Jack

Some good flankers are going ;)
thats why i picked heater cas they'll be far less options in 20 picks.
Hawka is skipped. onto ML/BB.
We take Shaun Higgins.
Finally showing that he can play up to his potential and if he's injury free, he can go up to the next level.
Yea great pick. Andrew is up.
Going to take kane cornes to run In the guts and tag.
Interesting :-X
I have got free internet at the caravan park where i am staying for tonight so i can make take my pick now and i will take Tom Scully :)

I was hoping he'd slip lower as a tagger :P. Nice picks all.
Scully has got good potential but I'd rather go the #2 at this stage ;).
my team so far then is
B:?, ?, ?
HB: Deledio, Rivers, ?
C: ?, Scully, ?
HF: ?, Jurrah, ?
F: ?, Tippett,?
Foll: Mumford, Pendlebury, Thomas
Damn was hoping Scully would slip a bit. Nice pick though.
I'm going to ahead and choose Nathan Brown great young CHB. I think it gives me a very good spine in the backline.

Ah, Presti's natural replacement in all aspects of the game :P.
Nice pick ;) who's up?
I'm up! I'll decide on my pick shortly then back to you Boomzie :).
ahh ok :) time to look at my list then :-\ so hard lol
I've always liked the way he plays so I'm going to go with Shannon Hurn.
(http://mm.afl.com.au/Portals/0/images/AFL/AFL%20A-E/SHurn_246b_cn.jpg)
Arguably in the top 5 kicks in the game today, he's got a racking boot from the back 50. If he can spot a free man, his distance and accuracy on that foot is unmatched. That is why I'm choosing Hurn to be my quarterback 8). He's just entering his prime and has shown previous years just how dangerous he is if left unmarked, sweeping the ball out of the defensive 50 and leading to plenty of counter attacks going the other way.
Nice pick HP :) I might take a while to do mine :-X have 1 in mind but stumped on the other :-\
I'm stumped on my next one as well :P.
Not a 100% happy with this pick but I'll take David Mundy. Had a great year last year & is still only 25...
B: ---, Frawley, ---
HB:---, Grundy, ---
C: Mundy, Goddard,---
HF: ---, Cloke, Sidebottom
F: Lecras, ---, ---
Foll: Clark, --- ,---
Need some more time for my other one :-X
That's 1 down and 1 to go. Nice pick but had 2 other In and Under's before him :-X.
My pick is sorted, just hope he falls to me :P.
B: ---, Frawley, ---
HB: Goddard, Grundy, ---
C: ---, Mundy, ---
HF: ---, Cloke, Sidebottom
F: ---, Lecras, ---
Foll: Clark, Priddis, ---
Int: ---, ---, ---, ---
So have gone for another Mid in Priddis :) Very good in & under mid shame he plays in a crap team coz he doesn't get the credit he deserves...
Now to hope my top 5 don't all go before my next pick :-X
Lets go for the little pocket rocket in Stephen Hill, but he's not all that little :P.
(http://resources3.news.com.au/images/2011/03/16/1226022/738291-stephen-hill.jpg)
He's improved his game each year he's been in the AFL and is showing why he's already one of the premium runners in the game at the tender age of 20 (soon to be 21). He'll become my winger to add some much needed spark and that X-Factor to the team. He's got great skills to go along with his pace and I have no doubt he's turning into a Star of the AFL with his abilities.
Team Stands at:
Backs: Broughton, ---, ---
Half Backs: Hurn, Taylor, ---
Centre: S. Hill, ---, ---
Half Forward: Chapman, Franklin, ---
Forwards: ---, Dixon, ----
Rucks: Smith, A. Swallow, ---
Interchange: ---, ---, ---, ---
Ok well I'm going to go ahead and choose Colin Sylvia. He is a great player who is only 25, I have the ability to play him across the half forward line or in the midfield depending on how the rest of my team plays out.
FB- ? B.Lake ?
HB- ? N.Brown ?
C- ? J.Selwood ?
HF- C.Sylvia M.Pavlich S.Johnson
FF- ? J.Kennedy ?
Foll- ? B.Stanton D.Swallow
I/C- ? ? ? ?
Nice pick :) I thought about him was hoping he might last a bit longer...
Pretty strong HF line you have there hulmie ;)
ok so i need a full back and i was tossing it up between two players but i decided on Alipate Carlile. he is only very young and i think he is a pretty good player
Lucky I left you Hurn, HP. ;)

I've been waiting on your smaller defenders because i feel as though there are loads of them around.
Great unique picks guys. Unusual, but certainly valid :)

(please dont hate on me lol)
crossing my fingers that my next pick hangs around..
To play off half back, BB and I choose 2 time Geelong premiership player James Kelly.
Kelly has recently played in the centre since Gablett has left, but he is able to play off half back cos I say so. :P

I'm not just talking about this draft but the the fact that it takes ML and BB have to wait for each other to be on to make a pick showers me. (your better of going in by yourself it's quicker)

Sorry Hulmie, but it's only cos it's holidays that I'm on. I wouldn't be on enough on my own to be able to pick and it would be like skipping me every pick, if that's what you want.
I'll make sure I pick within 5 minutes of the previous pick next time.

I understand that. We just weren't organised.
When BB gets back from wherever he is, I'm gonna send him a shortlist and that should speed it up.
Yeh ok i understand that i'm not having go it just frustrates me sometimes its not just you 2 i was just bringing up BB's previous comments.
hawka takes ben reid with his skipped pick

and ben stratton with his current pick
(http://resources1.news.com.au/images/2010/08/15/1225905/623689-ben-stratton.jpg)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Ben reid was my next pick :'(
CF is up, then Marcz. Better start searching for full backs :P
Haha I'm actually struggling to think of names now, let alone good young players!
I will have a pick up shortly though....
Well my motto is "when you don't know, pick a crow" :) So that is what I will be doing here. I am going to pick the porpoise, Jason Porplyzia. Porps is 26 years old so plenty of great football ahead of him, if he can get over his shoulder issue, which I think he can. Plays in the forward pocket, and is one of the most accurate shots for goal in the AFL, whether from set pieces or on the run. In 2009 he was Adelaide's leading goal scorer with 57 goals and only 20 behinds. A very strong mark for a small forward, and very effective when the ball hits the ground too. Porps I choose you!

lol yea he wouldnt even be top 15 mids let alone top 15 picks. IMO
Nice pick though this late in the draft. Certainly best mid available.
My picks will be up shortly
My picks are Darren Glass and Eddie Betts.
Need a full back and Glass is the man. 2x All Australian full back with loads of experience.
Can take players out of the game and will be my rock in defence. His 29, but still can produce for a little while longer IMO.
Betts has been picked because my forwards need a bit more goal power and defensive pressure. Betts fits the bill.
Has the ability to kick 50+ goals and trap the ball inside 50.

next 5 years. basically. But yea, can still pick older players if u want as the criteria is most premierships for aslong as possible.
You did say this though maca...
I will get my pick up soonish
cant find the quote but im sure I said somewhere the main idea is as many premierships as possible for aslong as possible, with no set timeframe. But roughly the next 5-10 years as a guideline cas ppl wanted a timeframe.
Ok finally decided who I am going to pick. I will take the Sherminator, Justin Sherman. Going to play him on the half forward flank to utilise his speed and great goal kicking ability. Only 24 so plenty of years ahead of him :)

maybe. I think people can identify teams with a good mix of rising stars and older guns.
if u look at the way the majority have picked they r clearly leaning toward 10 years more so than 5, David Swallow Zach Smith and Charlie Dixon have been selected ahead of players that r better now and have 5 years in them still...
my team is selected the way it would regardless so im not fussed most my guys r 22-25 besides Roo and Judd

yea well I dont think timeframes a factor. Zac Smith is a great pick in my eyes as he will be big!
NBA is a lot easier, due to the easy nature of having only 5 starters and knowing that without competing, you are rebuilding through the draft.
AFL is a lot different. You have 22 on the field you could have 1/2 elite player(s) and still be fighting out of the wooden spoon. The rebuilding take 5>10 years instead of 2-3 for NBA as well.

He's already BIG :P. Considering Sandi, Cox, Ryder and Kruez were already chosen, Smith has already shown he's adapted well and will certainly become a top 5 ruckman in a season or two, just you wait 8). Dixon was only there as I couldn't think of another FF who I actually liked within the 22-27 range. If you deliver it into him, he's quite the player ;). But I see your point.
5 seasons isn't really a Dynasty as we could get maybe 2-4 winners over the time. I'd go more for 8 as there is more chance for the younger sides to challenge but that's just me :P.
I know HP :P Im not hating on him. Best GC rookie with Swallow.
wasnt knocking him more emphasisng that the drafting has been geared closer toward 10 years than 5...
eg: Jarrod Roughead Taylor Walker top 30 picks
I was doing it for any period of time... most of my players r around 24-25 though.
same gives u good chance now aswell as later...

You can't run customized teams over a season unfortunately zz :(
You can actually. However, it does not last more than 1 season.
Oh I haven't tried yet, but I just read a review of the game saying you couldn't use customized teams in season mode.
Kinda annoyed I bought the game as I don't think it was worth $100 at all. Very basic game really, I mean it is a good game to start with, but still a lot of improvements that need to be made before they release the next game next year
Prob won't be another game tbh.
From what I heard if enough people buy this game they will make another, and so far it has been selling like crazy. Don't think I would buy it again though, unless if had vast improvement
needs some serious cash injected into the building of the games to give them any sort of longevity, apparently it freezes when u play a season with Carlton Port or North, they say there is a patch coming out for that but still... and ur right CF customized roster/team settings wont go into the main premiership mode
You make a custom season though and it does.

Thanks pyro :)
Well since ML/BB picked yesterday afternoon that means andrew is up
Deciding.
I'll take Daniel Merrett as my FB.
Not a bad choice for FB ;)
I was torn between two players for this pick but i am going to go with Jack Redden.
He can play in the midfield, backline or forward line he has a good kick and has great leg speed he is great at tackling aswell and he can sneak a few goals in aswell.
Leuy, Sauce, Redden. 3 Lions picked in a row!
now my team is
B: ?, Carlile,?
HB: Deledio, Rivers, ?
C: Redden,Boak,?
HF: Thomas, Jurrah, ?
FF: ?, Tippett, ?
FOL: Mumford, Pendlebury,?
Int: ?, ?, ?
Sub: ?
Ok well i'm going to go ahead and pick Daniel Wells speedster from the Roos only 26 so still got years left in him. He's another X-Factor who i'll have playing off the wing providing run.
FB - ? B.Lake ?
HB - ? N.Brown ?
C - D.Wells J.Selwood ?
HF - C.Sylvia M.Pavlich S.Johnson
FF - ? J.Kennedy ?
Foll - ? B.Stanton D.Swallow
I/C - ? ? ? ?
I Feel my team is coming along quite nicely.
Not a fan of wells. most overrated player, plus he is pretty injury prone.
I think he's a very skilled player myself. Just plays on a shower team
Have to say I agree with Maca... He is very skilled but way too flashy and has never really reached his potential.
Can't handle tags.
now to wait and see if HP takes my pick :(
If your tagging wells on my team that means your not tagging selwood or stanton and I'd be more than happy that.

(http://images.theage.com.au/2010/07/31/1727255/svPOWER-420x0.jpg)
A very solid Key Defender who can play off his man very well. Can rack up possessions or play the shut down role so think he'll make a good combo with Taylor.

Lol hard for wells to get tagged at kangas when he is always omitted or injured. he plays 1 good game a year.
I like Chaplin was between him and Hooker for my full back.
Nice pick HP ;)
I'm gonna take.....
James Gwilt
Just coming into his peak and improved a lot last year. Will put him in the back pocket as he can play small or tall if needed.
Dustin Martin will be my other pick ;D
Surprised he hasn't gone yet. Had a great first year and if he was eligible he would have gone very close if not won the rising star. Showed yesterday how good he could become.

My next pick will be an upcoming player who is shining in bad teams. First Brisbane last season and now in the Young Suns side. Michael Rischitelli is going from strength to strength and doesn't look like stopping anytime soon.

haha yeah ur right, uve arguably got the 2 best HF's in the comp...
I thought about Risky too :P Martin was too tempting though :-X
Rischy and Martin are great players. probs best mids available.
I like Gwilt to :)
Martin would've won the Rising Star no problem.

Although he has been injured a bit in the past. When he is playing he is an absolute JET.

Andrews pick. When it gets to hawka we will just skip straight away as he is making the effort to tell pyro his picks.
nice ;)
meant to say he is NOT lol.
ahh in that case lame :( our teams will be better for it however :P
well pyro said he was talking to hawka on facebook and he didnt give him the picks lol. he is holding the draft up anyway. when he gets internet though everything should be fine.
I'll take Darren Jolly.
ML/BB ur up
Ok. Let me look at our list. :)
That list must be quite long ML ;).

I've got a mini list as it saves the time searching now. Most picks should go but still have quite a few to choose from.
I don't even know which position to pick from next! :o
I'm trying to pick a forward, but not sure if I should go youth or experience.
Haven't been able to contact BB, so hope he's ok with this pick.
We take Brad Green.
Should play a couple more years and can play HFF.
ML it is also your pick in the soccer dynasty ;)
Ok. I'll go pick in that as well.
Is it my last pick?
Yep last pick, so most likely a keeper
That's what I was going to pick. ;)
Green is a good choice for an experienced forward 8).
Ok well my pick in this and I think I will take Dane Swan 2.0, or mini Swan if you like. Has the same first name (almost), same disgusting tats and can rack up the ball on the wing, plus only 21 years old. I pick Dayne Beams.
(http://resources0.news.com.au/images/2009/08/18/1225763/169540-dayne-beams.jpg)
Nice pick there. I had Beams high up but probably 3 young guns ahead of him :-X.
Care to tell me who they are HP? ;)
i have no idea how u slid back to me but we welcome...

HEPPELL!!!
My picks are Tom Rockliff and Travis Varcoe.
Rockliff is the best brisbane midfielder ATM and he is just 20yrs old. Think the kids a jet and racks up big numbers.
Didnt really need a wing, but couldnt go past him.
Varcoe is 22 and is a speed machine. Ill be playing him on the flank so he can push into the middle and provide run. He has the ability to make things happen.

Will pick my other wing position now, and obviously time for me to pick another crow ;)
Going to pick 24 year old Richard Douglas. Won the Malcolm Blight medal last year after being moved in to the midfield from the forward line, where he racked up possessions and broke games open with his pace down the wing. Can use either foot to great effect and can also play forward if needed.

had a quiet start to this season, very classy skill wise and can bag a few goals too
To be fair the whole crows side have had a quiet start to the season. Hopefully they can turn it around soon, almost got it done against the blues, but couldn't cross the line :(
Douglas was high on my list of forwards.
Damn was thinking about Douglas with my next pick :(

Haha whoops had planned to pick Rockliff with my pick, but when my turn came around forgot about him and took Beams
He was one of the 3 CF ;). 2 more I rate over Beams although 1 is speculative :P.
Nice picks and there goes another 3 from my shortlist :P.
back to ML/BB i think...
Just got back from school. :)
Maybe BB might pick, but I will pick if I have time. Doing homework already. :'(
Why did you finish so early?
who u guys taking?
I'll be picking within 10 minutes. Gotta work out who to pick.
Ok, so it is longer than 10 minutes, but BB and I pick Sharrod Wellingham to play on the wing.
Only 22 so this pick is for the future.
I'll take Leon Davis as a small forward.
FB - Merrett -
HB Duffman Fisher -
C Didak K.Cornes Cross
HF - Goodes -

R Jolly Ablett Cooney
Seriously Andrew? way past his best and I will put money on him to retire within 2 years.
lol.....
He's a livewire but he is past his best. Nice pocket though...
My midfield shortlist is becoming very small ::). Off to search for some more :P.
Pothead, Hulmie then back to me.

Talent @ the current time only thing matters to me.
Davis is a spud dude. no offence. Laziest bloke who doesnt want to get his own ball.

Its a rhetorical question :P
But seriously we had a draft based on current form, you shoulda done that instead. :)
BB what he is doing is picking a team that he thinks can win the premiership this year and probably the year after, because everyone else is picking young players who wont mount a serious challenge until a few years down the track.
Since a dynasty is about who can win the most titles of a period of time andrew is giving himself a bigger opportunity to win titles at the start and not care about later on as he has already won stuff, which a lot of teams wont do.
Just different tactics to the draft ;)

even still neon is questionable imo...
Haha yes I agree there, but just explaining to BB why he is picking older guys
Yeh there are maybe 3 or 4 better small forwards around who are younger aswell
Quote from: Hulmie on April 28, 2011, 10:34:02 PM

I didn't have Davis on my shortlist as I have others on there ;).
HP why have you reverted back to that DP?
http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,33352.0.html ;).
Yeah I just read that after I posted ;)
Getting very close now!
I will take grant birchall to play off half back he is only 23 and can set up good play running out of half back
I'm going to go ahead and choose Hayden Ballantyne he is in the top 3 small forwards in my opinion he applies so much defensive pressure in the forward line, and is just a great crumbing player to have around in the forward line.
I like Birchall and was hoping he'd slip further :(. 2 more off my shortlist.
My pick will be up a bit later. Will let Boomz know when I do mine :).
My next pick is a young Gun with a Great Boot. Considering I've got Hurn at Half Back, doesn't hurt if he can kick it to this young man who might soon surpass his kicking skills! He is Daniel Rich and will be playing in the Centre for me.
(http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2009/07/24/mb_rich_wideweb__470x359,0.jpg)
He's a courageous player and is in his third season where he is only getting better and better. He's a very solid all round midfielder and will contribute straight away as well as getting better with experience. Won't be long before he starts contending for the brownlow.
P.S He is one CF I'd take over Beams. One more is still available but debatable with Rocky and Unknown but Rich clearly over Beams for me.
Nice Pick HP I thought about him earlier.
I'm gonna take Tom Bellchambers 8)
Very good tap ruckman who is our main actual ruckman this year and is in great form. His around the ground has improved a lot and he will only get better. Still 21 too.
Will put Clark as FF & have Belly as my main ruckman.
B: ---, Frawley, Gwilt

C: ---, Mundy, ---
HF: ---, Cloke, Sidebottom
F: Lecras, Clark, ---

need some time for my 2nd pick.
Good picks you 2!
BIG BELLY! haha love the bloke, great mark.
I chose rocky over Rich, but they were the best mids I could see.
Boomzie told me to choose Jarryd Blair for him as his internet connection is slow :(. Off to a flyer this season and proving to be a valuable small forward for Pies.
It was either a FF, HFF or a Pocket. Might go with Dixon's meantime mentor in Drew Petrie.
(http://resources1.news.com.au/images/2010/09/13/1225920/803245-drew-petrie.jpg)
Don't you love a guy who fools around at practise? :P.
Petrie is a great FF/Part time Ruck for the near future (4 seasons likely) and have Smith and Dixon to be his protege's in both 8). Allows me to potentially play 3 talls up forward and alot of goal kicking power :).
Sorry Maca, knew you wanted him but couldn't bring it to pick my other picks over him.
My team so far:
Backs: Broughton, Chaplin, ---
Half Backs: Hurn, Taylor, ---
Centre: Hill, Rich, Rischitelli
Half Forward: Chapman, Franklin, ---
Forwards: Dixon, Petrie, ---
Rucks: Smith, A. Swallow, ---
Interchange: ---, ---, ---, ---
Midfield is nice and young and Effective so I like it. Backline and Forward line looking good for me so far. Thoughts?
good picks fellas... this draft seems to be keeping a reasonable pace :D
Ok well I'm going to go ahead and choose Scott Thompson. I feel he is so underated as a player. He's 28 so he has a few years left but he adds a nice bit of veteran experiance to my midfield.
FB - ? B.Lake ?
HB - J.Adcock N.Brown ?
C - D.Wells S.Thompson B.Stanton
HF - S.Johnson M.Pavlich C.Sylvia
FF - H.Ballantyne J.Kennedy ?
Foll - ? J.Selwood D.Swallow

Thought he had already been picked, which is why I didn't pick him :(
I should learn to read the draft!

Thanks Marcz. Too lazy to check. :P

Sorry if you don't like the pick BB, but I am selecting Ben Mcglynn for our forward pocket.
Touch typing is really hard. :P
Good pick. hawka skipped and CF is up :)
dont see how this was much different to the other AFL draft that i was in :P
but interesting to see how people view the youngsters..
This being over a period of time, the other was a single season.
Well I will pick Jeff Garlett to play in my forward pocket. Only 21 years old he is capable of producing the amazing goal. Awesome at ground level he will provide great ground level support along with Porps for Nic Nats/Sandi's contests.
(http://mm.afl.com.au/Portals/0/carlton_images/garlett-050309-246-1.jpg)
nice pick CF was definitely considering him...
This guy is a Rolls Royce, playing down back he can be breaking the lines or up forward can sneak some goals...

If u go by andrews team there is no difference ;)
My picks are David Zaharakis and Sam Gilbert.
Zaha is only 20yrs old is proving he is a gun of the future. Ill play him on the flank as he isnt a bad lead up target and can also push into the middle. Plus he knows how to kick a goal, which is important for a forward flank IMO.
Gilbert is surprisingly only 24yrs old! Is struggling this year but I think if St Kilda were playing better then he would be in all australian contention. Is a proven performer over the last few years and has shown that he is a great rebounding defender and also a good mark in the defensive 50. Always hits his targets and he also has the ability to play up forward with his height.

what i do understand is u will be contending for 2-3 years and then crash effectively taking 5 years to rebuild thru the draft bcos u dont really have any 25 yo to hold it together... so effectively u would be only contending for 5 of the 10 year window

Actually just thought of one ;D (well I think he plays back pocket...)
I will pick 27 year old Gold Coast defender Campbell Brown. Brown is probably one of the hardest players going around and also one of the most courageous. Has been an All Australian once and will combine with Rutten to intimidate opposition forwards with their strength :)
(http://resources2.news.com.au/images/2011/03/27/1226028/901006-campbell-brown.jpg)

C: Douglas ..., Beams
HF: Gray, Dawes, Sherman
FF: Garlett, Naitanui, Porplyzia
Foll: Sandilands, Jack, ...

What do you think?
Backline is a strong point ;). And the ruck department is :o. I'd look to get a proper full forward instead of NicNat down the track though :P.
Yeah I will do eventually HP, just couldn't think of anyone earlier haha ;)
I have always thought to do well you need to have a strong ruck department and you can't get much stronger than Sandi and Nic Nat :)
I assume BB isn't here so I'll pick.
Just got back from soccer and eating dinner so give me a second to think of a pick.
No worries ML. My mids are my strongest point, with my backs needing some bolstering.

ok. BB and I take Bernie Vince to play in the midfield.
Has been injured a lot but shows potential and needs to stay on the bloody park.
Nice pick ML :)
Thank you. :)
It was between him and Wellingham earlier and we picked Welly cos I thought he may be picked earlier.
lets try and keep this moving yea? :P no point waiting for ages to work out a pick..

no worries. nice pick, is havin a good year.
Out of curiousity will you be playin him as a forward or back?
With my next pick i am going to take shaun Higgins he is only 23 and can be a match changer i cam going to play him on the forward flank but he can also move up and play in the midfield aswell just like daisy thomas who is my other flank he can also deliver the ball down to tippett very nicely and can kick a few goals himself. :)
Sorry Pot.
He's already taken. ;)
argh bugger i do this all the time i look throught the list and still manage to miss them lol but in that case i will take jack trengrove i may of missed him aswell but i will probably run him on the wing and maybe he could rotate into the guts with scully and also go on the forward flank every now and again to give daisy a go on the wing.
Just use ctrl+f on the front page and start typing their name.
Idk if he's taken.
Trengrove is fine pot ;)

Orright well time for a Ruckman i'm going to go ahead and choose Hamish McIntosh. Arguably in the top 5 ruckman when healthy he's only turning 27 this year so he still has a good 5-6 years left in him.
Nah only 3 years left. Players retire @ 30 remember.

and he will still be tearing it up at that age aswell :P
I was considering Trengove and there goes the other I considered better than Beams :P. Rich, Trengove and Rocky over Beamie but it's all good 8).
My next pick will be up shortly.
My next pick will go off to finish my onfield midfield. He's a great captain and will add some much needed experience to the young midfield I have. He is Sam Mitchell.

Mitchell isn't only a ball magnet but also a very pressuring midfielder. To have him, Swallow and Riska in the team, will be a tough inside unit. Then add to that Hill and Rich as my runners and designated kickers, looking like a midfield who will certainly be able to dominate the stoppages 8).
Only great players play past 32, with most declining in form after 31.
Only a certain few maintain fantastic form (Harvey, Fletch, B.Johnson)
Surprised you didn't put up another pic of him HP. ;)
Nice picks guys. :)

I'll take the man with THE glove. Will be leading my backline brigade. He is the Captain of this Pies Lineup, He is Nick Maxwell.
(http://resources0.news.com.au/images/2009/09/11/1225772/032264-nick-maxwell.jpg)
He's a great leader and is very effective in keeping his man quiet, but can also rebound the ball very well if needed. Finishes my Half Back line which may be one of the best 8).

3737's pick?
My pick so soon?
Mmmmm. Danyle Pearce
ML/BB, (Hawka), Crowsfan...
We'll take Corey Enright.
CFs pick.
I'll pick the youngest of the Selwood brothers, Scott. 21 years old he started off as a midfielder but has been spending more time across the half back flank, which is where I will be playing him. Can rack up the possessions and is a tackling machine, averaging just under 7 tackles a game this season, would have been more, but only had a lazy 2 in round 1. Still got plenty of room to improve and if anything like his other brothers I'm sure he will.
(http://www3.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Scott+Selwood+l6KRtqSCo6rm.jpg)
Isnt he a tagger?
He does tag sometimes but it's mainly the other Selwood who is their tagger.
Quote from: Andrew3737 on May 04, 2011, 09:16:53 PM

Scotty can do both. Has normally been a Half Back flanker with the occasional tagging role if needed.

My picks are Aaron Davey and Kade Simpson. write ups later.
Davey will play in the back pocket for me. he will be rebounding and using his fantastic left foot to break zones and forward presses. Simpson has been picked because he is fast and plays the wing well. can also kick a goal.
Simpson is 26 and im not sure on Daveys age but both still have years left in their careers.
Bah, forgot about Davey. Would've obviously picked him over Pearce.
Quote from: Andrew3737 on May 05, 2011, 08:07:06 PM

Pearce is still ok ;) just maybe not as consistent but both similar.
Still 1 player I cant belive has slipped that far but I guess there are reasons for that.

Rance is only 21? Wow thought he was much older!!
Now to think of my pick...
yeah got that out of the prospectus, pretty agile too has played wing aswell in his rookie year...
Played with my brother @ swannies. Was a bit of a cocky fag. Only played well when he had to and was a bit lazy.
Been tossing up between 2 players, but considering I currently have Nic Nat at FF decided I will pick an upcoming player who can play there instead and then use Nic Nat more as a ruckman like he should be used. I will take the number 5 pick from the 2007 draft Jarrad Grant. Being groomed to take over as FF at the doggies once Hall retires he currently resembles a beanstalk as he is 192cm tall, but just 80kg. Only 21 so will bulk up bit by bit each season before he becomes an unstoppable key forward. Surprised he has lasted this long to be honest since he is a strong mark, very athletic for a key forward and got a great shot on him, kicked 6 straight against the Dons last year ;)

Pothead, Hulmie and then back to me.
Well i am going to take Tom Hawkins and he will play CHF so i will move Jurrah to the forward flank Hawkins is only 23 so he still has a long time left in him.

he can be except he is quite capable of being a forward flank and he plays full forward at Melbourne mainly because melbourne dont have many tall forwards but he has enough run on him to be able run up the ground and i think it could work well imo
Think he's better as a FF...

My next pick will make my Half Forward line lethal :P. He's finding that consistency to his game which he has struggled with his entire career. My next pick is Jared Brennan.
(http://mm.afl.com.au/Portals/0/images/AFL/AFL%20A-E/BrennanHawks_246.jpg)
Brennan is a very skillful player and very agile for a man of his height. He's still good for another 5 seasons and will really stretch the defence alongside Buddy and Chappy :D.

Nahas is a little older than most would expect, entering his mid-20's. But he's just coming into his prime and is a great pocket to have with his defensive pressure. Having him as a crumber will add another factor into my forward line.

Have watched him recently and he has been old and slow. However in saying that I think he is 30?
So not to bad a pick for this late in the draft.
Looks like I'll be picking this one as well.
Gimme a sec.
We'll take Chris Mayne for our forward pocket.
I was hoping to snatch Mayne for my other pocket :(. Looking like a good future forward for the Dockers, for the years beyond Pav :P.
Hopefully your homeground is Skilled Stadium Andrew with that last pick :P.
Ok to play through the centre of the field I will pick another young doggie to go with Grant and Sherman. I pick Callan Ward. A great tackler he along with Jack will add the real strength to my midfield pressuring the opposition and causing turnovers. Can play free or as a tagger if required. Only 21 so still plenty improvement in the kid and it looks like 2011 may be his breakout year.

Apologies for the wait.
My picks are Josh Drummond and Andrew Krakouer.
Both 27 and bloody good players when played right.
Drummond defined the "Quarterback" role in modern day football and does it brillantly.
He will take the kick outs with his potent left foot and will be a great player that will break lines and set up goals from the back pocket with his fantastic skills. Krakouer can play midfield effectively and also forward. For me he will be starting forward pocket and help Eddie with his forward pressure and goal sense. will switch into the midfield with Cyril and I think he can be very effective there in short bursts.

Well I'm going to pick someone who you could say is the forgotten man of the Melbourne midfield. With the arrival of Scully and Trengove at picks 1 and 2 in the 2009 draft, people have seemed to forgotten that Melbourne already had an extremely talented midfielder who was taken at pick 4 in the 2007 draft, plus the addition of him being injured at the start of the season didn't help. I am talking of course about Cale Morton! Turned 21 at the start of the year Morton is a tough midfielder (although doesn't look it) who is strong in the air, has a great kick and is capable of winning his own ball, so he will play in the guts with Jack, following Sandi around getting their hands on the ball from his taps. He is extremely fit and can run all day, which is just what you want in a midfielder.

Also are we doing 4 on the bench or 3 on the bench and a sub?
3 and a sub id say...
doesnt really bother me one way or another, good to see were nearly complete :D
Are we just doing a list of 22 players or are we going to make a squad of like 30.

Personally I think if your doing a dynasty you need to have a squad of at least 30, because it shows your depth and your ability to 1 replace older players and 2 develop younger players.

I also agree, but dont think its possible as people will lose interest.
the draft is already slowing down as it is.

(http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRGuak2sX4YKuuvmAr-56DYC33yrtAXGjMang6rwwmUic-oxAc)
some nice picks there. few ruckman I'd pick before graham though :-X only looks decent compared to richmonds other ruckmen lol
change of plan lol my next 4 wil b up this arvo
I was hoping Jackson would slip but not a bad bunch considering you're picking alot later than expected.
I'm all for 30 but would have drafted slightly differently but not a whole much. I'll let all of you guys decide as I'm not on all that much these coming weeks.
Up to everyone on if its 22 or 30. Im happy either way :)
30 sounds fun if we can push it through a bit.
i am happy with 30
Yeah I don't mind picking 30.
Also it is your pick pothead ;)
I don't mind picking 30.
Also, are we picking a sub or 4 man bench?
Looks like 30 it is :)

ok didnt notice i will just have a think of who to take
Ok I will take Josh Hill to play on the forward flank he is only 22 and can kick a goal or two.
B: Dempsey, Carlile, Birchall
HB: Deledio, Rivers, Gilbee
C: Redden,Boak, Trengrove
HF: Thomas, Hawkins, Hill
FF: Banfield, Tippett, Jurrah
FOL: Mumford, Pendlebury,Scully
Int: ?, ?, ?
Sub: ?
Midfield looks one to watch in a few seasons :o.
Hulmie is up before me and Boomzie's double.
Ok so 30 players seems like the unanimous decision.
3 Interchange and a SUB, with 8 reserves.

Well i'm choosing a 24 year old running backman from Carlton Jordan Russel. Good player to finish off my backline.

Foll - H.MacIntosh J.Selwood S.Thompson
I/C - D.Swallow ? ? ?
One off my shortlist Hulmie 8). Since we are going to 30, extended it quite a bit :P.
Pick will be up shortly once I decide.
A name would be nice HP for those of us (me) who can't tell who everyone is from a pic :P
I cant see the picture HP
Quote from: CrowsFan on May 13, 2011, 11:15:16 PM

He should be a household name by now anyway :P.
Must have forgot to mention his name so apologies :P.
HP, Crameri has been taken by BOOMZ. pick again :)
Already been picked HP ;)
I searched his name and it didn't come up for me -_-. Must have been a typo :(.
My pick will be up shortly.
Well might just take my next pick who'll help my midfield literally run around other teams :P. My next pick is Hamish Hartlett who is having an awesome season since he's got his body right (bout time :P). He has that X Factor about him and still 20 so plenty of his best footy ahead of him. One of the shining lights for Port this season and has still performed consistently.
(http://mm.afl.com.au/Portals/0/images/AFL/AFL%20P-T/Hartlett_Rd409_246a.jpg)
sorry HP :P he is a household name though ;D
Nice pick ;) My picks will be up soon... Now it's 30 it changes things a bit :-X
Indeed it has Boomz! Can choose some of the older guys with the replacements behind them will be an interesting approach ;).
I've got my pick down to 3, hopefully you don't pick any and I can hold out for the others to drop :P.
Well with my first one I'm going to take Nick Malceski :) Great running off HB and still has a few years left if his knee will hold up ::)
B: ---, Frawley, Gwilt
HB: Goddard, Grundy, Malceski
C: Kennedy, Mundy, Hannebery
HF: Duncan, Cloke, Sidebottom
F: Lecras, Crameri, Blair

Int: Clark, ---, ---, ---
Still deciding on m other pick :-X
Now Andrew can claim his team will be the best for years cos he can now pick youngsters to replace his aging squad :o
Nice HBF Boomzie. Have to say skipped him from my shortlist :o. I'm missing out on so many names.
Quote from: CrowsFan on May 13, 2011, 11:37:44 PM

But most of the good ones are gone ???. My shortlist still have a few known names but generally younger guys :P.
Doesn't mean any of us will listen :P
Probably a bit biased here but anyway :P I'll take Kyle Hardingham... Has had a great start to 2011 and has easily been one of our best defenders. Showed last year he can play up fwd too.
B: Hardingham, Frawley, Gwilt
HB: Goddard, Grundy, Malceski

Dang it :P. I was hoping to get him for my depth and versatility. He's a natural defender and was pushed forward to get a game last season. Nice mark as well 8).
My pick will be up shortly when I can decide who :P. A Back, Forward or Forward?
I may be a bit selfish here but I'm going to take another KPP forward. Maybe just to hurt other teams in the KPP department (but not why I chose him ;)). Jack Watts still needs alot of work but in a season or two of games, he'll be a great FF option as his body matures and his playing abilities as well. He was chosen for his potential and has finally been able to dedicate his whole time to AFL with school out of the way.

I/C: Hartlett, ---, Dixon, ---
Alot of run in the midfield and tall forwards to cause alot of trouble for defenders :P.
lol :P I love him ;D was very happy when we picked him up even tho majority wanted barlow :X could well turn out better if barlow doesnt recover well...
Nice pick ;) He has shown improvement this year... can only get better.
I love Hardingham this year as well! Seems so much more comfortable in the back pocket. Sadly means I can probably get in only 1 essendon player from here :'(.
Plus it allows me to play 4 talls up forward (Yes, 4 talls in Buddy, Brennan, Petrie and Watts) which I find could do quite well considering Buddy and Brennan are quite Agile and so is Watts a tad :P.
Brennan plays much better when playing through the midfield as he has shown this year, he is far more consistent than when playing up forward
Seeing as my midfield and backmen list is larger than forward, might be stuck with him on HFF. Although I agree he's better when let loose in the midfield :(.
wow u lads got a roll on :o i was 4 pages behind ;D
I'm going to go ahead and choose Mark Jamar as my 2nd ruck. Jamar and MacIntosh will rotate at FF with Kennedy moving into the pocket.

Nice pick ;) Extremely surpised he lasted this long...
Yeh It got to the stage where I just couldn't not pick him. I was tossing up between him and H-Mac earlier
If he ahd made it to my next pick I probably would have taken him lol
well i think i will take Brent moloney for the first benchman he can swap in and out of the guts with Scully, Pendles, Boak, Trengrove and etc

But at least you have caught up in picks hawka :D.
nice picks Hawka... CF>
Ok I'm going to take one of the only 2 top 10 draft picks currently in the Adelaide side (I don't count Tambling). And that is Phil Davis. Capable of playing as a key back or in the back pocket and provide run for the team. Will be handy when playing against teams with 3 talls up forward. Has superb composure for a 20 year old and very strong in the mark. Will slot in to the final back pocket position in my team.
(http://mm.afl.com.au/Portals/0/images/AFL/AFL%20A-E/PhilDavis_246b_cn.jpg)
Nice young backman there 8).
pretty sure he is still available...

I was tossing him up a few rounds ago but couldn't take him then :P. I may wait quite some time for my tagger as I have a few young ones on the rise :P.
i wasnt even taking Jackson as a tagger more as just in an under hard nut as i have plenty of outside skillful types...
Ah, I had a better inside player than him though and will be taking him with my next pick even with my midfield already stocked.
I've got Hill, Rich and Harlett for my run. Swallow and Mitchell for in and under. I had 2 in and unders ahead of Jackson (although older but one not so much). I could tell you who it is if you want....

Thanks pothead :). Can do it on the front page if you have a previous post on it? Make it easier than trying to find the page with updated picks :).
Suckling having a HUGE year off Half Back 8).
Ok I'll take 21 year hard nut Rory Sloane. Extremely important player at the Crows, which a lot of people from other clubs wouldn't realise. Wins a lot of contested ball through the middle of the ground and wont back down from anything. Played the first game of the season with a broken hand to help Adelaide beat Hawthorn. Has been given Tyson Edwards old number (9), which shows how much they value him at West lakes. Great in and under type of player.

ML was skipped last night so took his pick after his time expired. That's why I'm keeping it at 7:12 tonight for Andrew. That and he's off to England so who knows when he'll find the time with the sight seeing and all :P.
Ah ok fair enough then
Howdyyyy
Been so busy.
Alan Toovey.
I am going to take Matt Maguire to start on the bench, he is 26 but still has a good 4 r 5 years left in him and he is a fairly solid defender
I knew not taking Ball and Toovey last round will come back to bite me :'(. Both my picks gone so now need to think of one :(.
Nice picks by the way :P. Hulmie, COME ON DOWN!!!! *Random Applause.

Has the ability to play a defensive role or rebound when needed. Is versatile in the fact he can play on both Talls (usually) but also small forwards. Turning 26 this August so in his prime for most of the time :D. Finishes off my on field 18 for now :).
Nice pick ;)
I'm going to take arguably the best tagger in the game... Clinton Jones :)
and with my other pick I'll take Joel Corey... 29 so has a couple of years left & has been very good so far this year.
Don't think either of them have been taken ???
B: Hardingham, Frawley, Gwilt
HB: Goddard, Grundy, Malceski
C: Kennedy, Mundy, Hannebery

Int: Clark, Jones, Corey, ---
Nice picks. Was wondering when Jones would go as I would argue the exact same thing :P.
Corey seems to be slowing down and injuries/body taking it's toll. Still a solid performer 8).
My pick will be up shortly. Been out today and then homework so a tad delay ;).
He's been picked by ml/bb
Sorry wasn't on before to see that :-[. Went to first page and nothing came up and hard to keep track from my list if I accidently forget to delete somebody from it :(.
My next pick is Heath Scotland (Hopefully) :P. Is on the older side but most of my players can keep him afloat for the first few seasons. The man is a possession machine and can play off half back into the midfield.

rekn he was picked... not 100% tho :-\
Nah he hasn't been marcz. Well first page doesn't say so
yeah it hasnt been updated in yonks tho...
Maca is on holidays for 2 weeks
Yeah but pothead has been updating it on the front page too. But hasn't been since I took Sloane, but don't think he has been taken since then...
without rolling back thru all the pages i had had him on a list i have written down and he has been crossed off for ages :-\
possible brain fade on my behalf, no idea why i would cross him off :-[
Hey guys just got on a computer. Sorry that I cant update the OP..
Will be back home in a week so Ill have update it then. Hang Tight! :)
sorry guys totally forgot to update the front page but it is done now and i will take heath hocking i don't think he has been taken but i can use him as a tagger or just a normal mid and he can swap onto the back flank with deledio if neccesary aswell :)
Cheers Pothead :D. Nice pick in Hocking as well.
Found out why I didn't find Matthew Leuenburger on the front page, there was a missing t in Matthew :P.
Well its been over 24 hours since my last pick so andrew is skipped go ahead and pick ML an BB
Will do. :)
We'll take Michael Johnson form Freo as a utility type player.
Ill take Mumford
Taken a long time ago...
Mumford was the 56th pick. We are now up to pick 207!

Last pick was ML/BB. Hawka has about 3 hours to pick before he is skipped. Andrew has been skipped but can pick when he comes back on and sees Mummy is already gone.
So the order right now is Hawka, CF, Marcz and then Maca's double.
Come on guys keep it flowing! :)
thanks to everyone who has been keeping it moving :)
CF can take his as Hawkas time is up...
Ok sure I will take my pick then. Will pick a young Roo who goes by the name Jack Ziebell. 20 years old and was taken at pick 9 in 2008 draft. Capable of playing as a small forward or out on a wing. Has been extremely unfortunate having already broken his leg twice, but if he can remain fit he should turn in to a top class player.

definitely got a leg rate him highly 8) i like having left footers running up the outer side ala Hawks 08...
not overly concerned with getting too many young guys as there is a draft every year which would replenish retiring players...
I'm a left footer :P. Too bad accuracy is not there for me but the can torp the ball high and long :P.
Most of my players don't have to be replenished 8).

I'll keep them for Depth and/or trade them off for better players 8). It's a solid plan as team could be competitive from the get go with only my Forwards/Rucks being the weak point straight away with Midfield young yet could be very lethal ;).
Only real worried of Oldies (30+) in my team are Chappy and Scotland.
Hawka, ML/BB, Andrew, Pothead and then Hulmie :). Just incase some people forget or need a little reminder or time to think :P.

Very happy with my defence
I choose L.Shuey.
I'm suprised he is still available he's probably been the Eagles best midfielder this year and is on track to winning the Rising Star.
Dang it Hulmie!!! I was considering him past few rounds and finally had him lined up :'(. Now have to think about my next pick :(.
My pick will be a forward who can play small and is versatile in the fact he can go into the midfield if needed.
(http://www.urpages.com/media/cmkcms/user_nolnpte/lfm-sports/images/thumbs/245430-chris-knights.gif.jpg.1024x768_q85.jpg)
Despite standing at 187cm, he is more or less a small forward in the way he plays. Considering I have talls think Nahas would need support in the crumbing department and Knights will provide solid backup. He has pretty great skills by footy and can really break open a game if he can be bothered.
I'm going to take Tom Lynch (GC) young forward who will be a very good player one day.
B: Hardingham, Frawley, Gwilt
HB: Goddard, Grundy, Malceski
C: Kennedy, Mundy, Hannebery
HF: Duncan, Cloke, Sidebottom
F: Lecras, Crameri, Blair
Foll: Bellchambers, Priddis, Martin

Still thinking about my other pick...
I'm gonna take Luke McPharlin with my other pick... Very underrated defender & still has a few years left.

(http://resources0.news.com.au/images/2009/08/15/1225761/830068-andrew-embley.jpg)
Next pick will be a versatile Half Back Flanker and a winger. Andrew Embley has been a long serving player for the Eagles in these positions where he has been a gamebreaker for them. May be a little old in 29 (30 this month) but I think I can afford him in the side considering the others not being so old. Adds some experience with his Norm Smith and Premiership 8).

Well I will let maca take his 2 picks before I take my pick cos I am kind ;)
Actually will take my pick now cos I'm willing to bet maca wasn't going to pick this guy anyway. Going to pick Tom Collier from the lions, for the simple fact that I went to school with him and can't think of anyone to pick. Also exactly 1 year older than me :)

Ill take Arryn Siposs and Jack Anthony. 18 and 23 respectively.

Siposs will be a great player. He has a fantastic kick on him and can take a grab, his a great prospect.

yea i live in victoria now i moved when i was 12
well hawka is skipped go ahead and pick major ML and BB
We'll take Jordie Mckenzie from Melbourne.

My next pick will be used to be a back up ruckman if needed yet he can also play Key Back more naturally. Stefan Martin has been a revelation as a ruckman with 20+ hit outs past 4 games (including games of 36 and 40 :o) but what makes him a more versatile player is his ability to get possessions and run around the ground. He's a big guy and can increase the depth at the back and ruck departments 8).

I'm gonna take Ryan Bastinac... Good young midfielder :) & with my other pick I'm going to take Goldsack. Solid defender and still fairly young.
B: Hardingham, Frawley, Gwilt
HB: Goddard, Grundy, Malceski
C: Kennedy, Mundy, Hannebery
HF: Duncan, Cloke, Sidebottom
F: Lecras, Crameri, Blair
Foll: Clark, Priddis, Martin
Int: Bellchambers, Jones, McPharlin Sub: Corey
Depth:
Lynch (GC)
Bastinac
Goldsack
BASTINAC!!!!! Mainly because he played for Stingrays :P.
The Gold Sack is a nice one :P.
Pick will be up shortly.

Just to try and make sure my backline is one of the best, adding some depth the the Key Back department once again. Stephen Gilham is one of the Hawks' first chosen Key defenders when fit (alongside Gibson) and does a very solid job on keeping his opponents quiet.
B: Broughton, Chaplin, Grima
HB: Hurn, Taylor, Maxwell
C: Hill, Rich, Rischitelli
HF: Chapman, Franklin, Brennan
F: Nahas, Petrie, Watts
R: Smith, A. Swallow, Mitchell
I/C: Hartlett, Scotland, Embley, Knights

Still pretty much a team that could play for the entire 5 seasons :P.

only 21, had hip surgery early this year, hence the slow start...

He's a nice project but hasn't shown a whole lot on field since he moved :-\. No doubt about the potential though ;).

Nick Lower (23) and Matt Rosa (23) for me.
Rosa is having a breakout year and Lower is a ball winner who is doing well at Freo. Needed some midfielders :P

Ok well I'll take Aaron Edwards from the Roos as backup. Is a bit older, but is good backup to have up front cos he is a very strong mark and can also kick a bag of goals. Looks to be having a good solid year.

ML/BB is skipped. Andrew is up followed by Pothead and Hulmie.
This has died out with half of you guys losing interest :P.
I haven't lost interest but it's never my turn lol
Same here and waiting for my turn :P. You and me usually get ours over with quickly and then wait :P.
we shouldnt have went to 30 players :-\

ok i will just think of who to take my pick will be up soon
i will take Nathan Vardy from Geelong i think that NAthan is going to be a very good ruckman and he is also quite versatile as he can move into the forward line as well and take a grab.
nice pick pot. Vardy is a gun, good gippy power boy.
BTW what the hell is your DP? ???
Hulmies pick?

haha thats a pisser and i am very happy with reid and vardy to up and coming stars ;)
Hulmie posted in the other thread this morning but think he's forgotten about this draft :(.
Picking time for me as his time has expired. Pick will be up shortly once I can decide out of the 4 guys I'm tossing up between.
Next pick will likely finish off my backline with this young fellow. Jeremy Laidler has been great for Carlton since he has been given gametime. He can play both on tall or medium forwards and will only mature on field from here on out. Looks to have helped the Blues search for backmen who can do their job each week.
(http://www.sportal.com.au/sss_content/aflplayer/00002771-image.jpg)
Boomz is up now :).
I considered Laidler with my last pick. Really like the year his having :)
Thanks MaccaD, been quite consistent which pushed him over the line over the other defenders available.
Defence seems quite set for a long time now 8).
B: Broughton, Chaplin, Grima
HB: Hurn, Taylor, Maxwell
With Embley, Scotland, S. Martin, Gilham and Laidler all capable of playing there 8).
I'm gonna take Anthony Morabito :) Young FWD/MID who showed last year he can play... Will only get better. With my other pick I'll take Alex Silvagni... Had a good year last year has had a few injuries this year but is a solid defender.
B: Hardingham, Frawley, Gwilt
HB: Goddard, Grundy, Malceski
C: Kennedy, Mundy, Hannebery
HF: Duncan, Cloke, Sidebottom
F: Lecras, Crameri, Blair
Foll: Clark, Priddis, Martin

Bastinac
Goldsack
Silvagni
Morabito
Fairly happy with my defence too HP 8)
Going for youth in the Depth Boomzie ;). Nice picks although they've flown under the radar since they were injured this season. 1 of the guys on my shortlist are in that boat :-X.
I'll go for a little more forward depth joined in which my ever growing Ruck depth :P. Tyrone Vickery has been been an awesome Tall Forward for the Tigers this season, playing Deep forward behind JRoo. This allows him top be the second target and it's shown with his 18 goals so far (not inclduing tonight, which would put him over 20). I've had him down for some time and will surely help my structure considering I'm going 3-4 talls in my forwards 8). Doesn't hurt to have another backup in the Ruck department when needed (4th player who can play ruck for me). Just a 21 year old so his best is yet to come.
(http://resources0.news.com.au/images/2009/08/02/1225757/179984-tyrone-vickery.jpg)

When I was away I asked pothead if Vickery was taken and he said he was, so i crossed him off my list.

hooly dooly this has died in the @$$ :(
should we scrap and reset to 22?
let everyone take all their picks now to finish it?
sad to see everyones work peter out :-X
According to Front Page:
- Andrew needs to make 7 picks.
- BB/ML need to make 2 picks (which they have recently been skipped for their second consecutive ones which I know isn't because they aren't around.....).
- Hulmie needs to make 1 more pick as Lynch was for last round :-\.
Hawka, CF, Marcz and then MaccaD's double.
I love doing drafts but hate how people lose interest and make it drag on for longer :(. Boomzie and I usually get our picks out in quick succession :P.
Sorry guys. I've been sick and have been pretty much asleep while on FF.
I'll pick tonight after soccer training.
I know you've been sick ML as heard I think a few pages back. Still sick? Get better soon :D.

Turns out training is cancelled because of the forecast. Will still have to train at 7:45 tomorrow morning for school which means I have to wake up at 6. :'(
The only thing that annoys me is I specifically asked If we should do 30 as I thought it would die.
And it did :'( hopefully we can just push through and get it done in a couple of weeks.
Hawkas pick BTW plus Hulmie has a pick to catch up on.
i rekn if its ur turn finish ur team eg: i have 4 slots left pick 4 players...
there isnt a lot to gain from it from a personal point of view as im 2nd last but id like to see everyone complete their teams...
i dont think it really disadvantages anyone at this stage of the draft but it saves ppl returning again and again, thoughts?
Sounds fine to me Marcz if everybody else is on board....
Quote from: Hulmie on June 20, 2011, 01:28:14 PM

I made my pick needs to be updated.
That was for last round, still haven't made your pick for this round ;).
Ok so when hawka gets skipped in an hour and a half do I pick 4 players?
Not sure. I'd go for 1 pick to you and Marcz. Then once it gets to Maca, then we finish off our teams. Let last pick start the last bunch of players he wants.
Well I pick Shaun McKernan as a key position forward prospect, who can also play down back if needed. Only 20 too :)

Cheers Sid ;) love that DP of urs by the way ;D
Swap Ryder and Kruez and it'll be a better lineup :P. Ryder hasn't done enough up forward sadly :'(. Nice youngster despite only 3 games into his career! ;).
So we are all agreed from now, we finish off out teams to make the 30. So Maca is allowed to choose the last of his players in a lump sum basically.
yep suits me ;)
yeah Ryder has been a bit of a dud this year :( beauty of it is just swing him to CHB like he used too and bring in Big Mac ;)
Kruez looks ominous after just 2 games back... which gives me 3 strong 20 something Rucks 2 of which r agile enough to play elsewhere :P
Sweet! I've got a young ruck lineup but have a few more mature players as well to help out if needed. All of them versatile which could be good 8).
Will be an interesting vote considering the various teams and different strategies used.
Not expecting any votes for my team considering after about my first 5 picks I had no clue haha
My picks are Jake King, Luke McGuane, Dom Cassisi and Tom Liberatore.
King is a great team man who you can always depend on to attack the contest hard.
McGuane is surprisingly only 22/23? Need a key backman so he is the man.
Cassisi is Ports Skipper so will bring some needed leadership into my side. Can still play great football at 28.
Libba is my future on baller and is a good back up.

Yep. What should we do with andrew? Try and fill out his team ourselves?
He was on yesterday and PM'ed him to take his picks. Pretty sure he needs 9 players so we'll see at the end of the draft if he's made/going to make his picks :).

Matt Macguire for us.
Nice pick but you gotta finish off you team ML :). Get your team up to 30 players ;).
Pothead is up (not sure if he's been skipped). Then onto Hulmie, Myself and Boomzie to finish off the picks.
Still need ML/BB to finish their team as well as Andrew :).

ok i have to go to squash now but i will pick as soon as i get back from squash which should be around 1 or 2 hours
Ok i will take
Cameron Ling - yes he is 30 but he will add some leadership to the team while he is still playing and he is still a quality player
Nathan Jones - Great midfielder for the demons very tough and gets alot of the ball goes in hard and only 23
Tom Lonergan - He has really stepped up this year and improved alot i think and he is a quality defender

You took 2 of my picks I had lined up since I last picked :P. Suprised it took so long for Ling to go and was hoping Jones would go unnoticed for a little while longer :'(. Been missed by many due to Trengove and Scully there.
I like Lonergan as a Defender as he's not a bad one. He's not a Spud anymore either :P.

yeah i noticed ling there the other day and i was surprised that he was there. Lonergan has done some great jobs in defence this year on some of the best forwards in the comp.
Lonergan is definitely owning this year...
I was actually tossing up Lonergan with other defenders a while back. He always seems to get the job if Taylor seems to fail, and he actually holds down his man :o.
I was planning to go 1 forward + 2 midfielders but you've taken my 2 midfielders. Now likely 1 Forward + 1 Defender + 1 Midfielder. Now choosing the midfielder is a bugger as I can go for experience or go for Youth (something I already have there). Won't make much of a difference but is fun to think about with a draft like this!

The two players I was certain on choosing were to fill in for some extra youth in defence and up forward.
I was planning on having my defence finished but considering both of the two players I was going to choose were chosen, couldn't resist not getting Taylor Hunt. Turning 21 later this season and has found his place in the Undefeated Cats 22. He is a tough player and has shown poise with the ball and not afraid to take on the opposition. This would make my defence have probably the most depth in this draft and no need to be replenished with drafting 8).
(http://www.geelongadvertiser.com.au/images/uploadedfiles/editorial/pictures/2010/06/04/TaylorHunt.jpg)
Next pick is a forward who is certainly on the Rise. Ricky Henderson. In his early 20's and has shown glimpses of the dangerous forward he could potentially be. At 190cm could be a very handy Forward Pocket/Flanker with his ability to run.
(http://www.sportal.com.au/sss_content/aflplayer/00003032-image.jpg)
This last pick was really a toss up between several midfielders. In the end went with the Young Superstar-in-the-making in Jack Steven. He is a very young and aggressive midfielder who can go forward and chip in with a few goals. He has heart and looks to be another one of Saints main men in the midfield in the years going forward with his ability to do alot on the field no matter where he is put.
(http://mm.afl.com.au/Portals/0/images_saints/article_images/JSteven(h).jpg)
Team will be up shortly.
I'm going to take...
Jake Carlisle
Probably biased but the kid will be a very good player. Took 13 marks in his 2nd or third senior game last year. Had some injuries at the start of this year but has been great down back for Bendigo. Usually plays as a fwd, think they're just playing him there for his development. Is a great contested mark.
Jordan Gysberts
Great young midfielder who burst onto the scene last season before injuries & other players kepthim out. Is back in the team this year & looks even better with more games under his belt.
Shaun Burgoyne
Great midfielder first for Port & now the Hawks... Still has a couple of years left you would think.
B: Hardingham, Frawley, Gwilt
HB: Goddard, Mcpharlin, Malceski
C: Kennedy, Mundy, Hannebery
HF: Duncan, Cloke, Sidebottom
F: Lecras, Crameri, Blair
Foll: Clark, Priddis, Martin
Int: Bellchambers, Jones, Grundy Sub: Gysberts
Depth:
Lynch (GC)
Bastinac
Goldsack
Silvagni
Morabito
Jake Carlisle
Burgoyne
Corey
Nice ones Boomzie.
Carlisle is a KPP who can play either end of the ground. Burgoyne was the last forward on my list :P. He's quite versatile so a steal so late 8).

Yep I was tossing up between Burgoyne and a versatile youngster :-X Needed a bit of experience so went with him 8)
Great picks both of you. Burgoyne escaped my eye, is better than Cassisi :P
was going to suggest a small write up or bullet point format for each team...
looks like Hp has done his ;) il do mine before we post up
I love the little write ups! They make the draft more fun and informative so others may see your point of view and can comment.
Mine was very brief though ;). I love my team :P.
Maca's Immortals - Team Flexibilty
I had this flexibilty strategy before we decided to pick 30 players. so its kind of hurt me their.
But please consider how it would of worked with 22 players. Thanks ;)
B: J.Drummond, D.Glass (VC), A.Davey.
HB: H.Shaw, C.Hooker, S.Gilbert.
C: K.Simpson, L.Montagna, T.Rockliff.
HF: T.Varcoe, J.Waite, D.Zaharakis.
F: E.Betts, M.Hurley, A.Krakouer.
R: D.Cox (C), J.Bartel, C.Rioli.
INT: T.Goldstein, N.Van Berlo, A.Walker.
SUB: M.Rosa
RESERVES: J.Anthony, A.Siposs, N.Lower, P.Hanley, J.King, T.Liberatore, D.Cassisi (VC), L.McGuane.
Ok so here is my team. Im happy with it :)
Backline: I have LOADS of rebound here. Should be able to kick through any forward press/rolling zone.
Drummond, one of the best kicks in the game, Sam Gilbert who provides great run and carry.
Aaron Davey just a great kick and Heath Shaw, probably the best rebounding defender in the league at the moment.
Darren Glass and Cale Hooker, great key position backman who should be able to shut down most forwards.
My team has fantastic versatility. Waite and Hurley can both go down back when we are in trouble.
Also I have McGuane in reserve, who is a player that can hold his own.
Pearce Hanley is my back up rebounder who provides fantastic run.
Midfield: Stacked these early. Rioli is going to be BIG. Can also go up forward and kick a bag.
He will be my clearance king. Bartel and Montagna at the centre bounces should also dominate.
The key here is that I have Cox and Goldstein, the best ruck combo in this draft IMO (Im biased ;))
I should win loads of clearances with this onball unit.
Simpson and Rockliff on the wings. Simpson loves the wing, and Rockliff will switch into the centre square, cas I love his hardness.
Again Flexibilty is key. Varcoe, Zaharakis, Davey and Krakouer can all move through the middle on game day.
Van Berlo, Rosa, Lower, Cassisi, Liberatore and Lower are great reserves who provide leadership, depth and a hard edge in the middle.
Forwards: My weakest part IMO but Ive done my best to recover it. Hurley and Waite are my big forwards, but my main strategy is to get the ball to ground for Betts and Krakouer. Andy Walker was a great late pickuup for me. Will kick bags of goals alongside Waite and Hurley. Jack Anthony and Aaryn Siposs in reserve. Anthony has proven he can kick 50+ goals and Siposs is my future CHF who Ill develop. Varcoe and Zaharakis on the flanks. Basically like having 2 extra midfielders. They both know how to find the goals and the strategy here is for them to run from the wings straight towards the goals, taking advantage of their speed and kick goals on the run. Jake King in reserve. Great team man who provides forward pressure and hardness in that forward line.
I should havee the ball constantly trapped in the Forward 50 with Krak, Betts and Varcoe providfing great defense.
Rucks: Goldy and Cox. Enough said ;D
Overall: My team is based on Flexibilty. Can cover all positions and confuse other coaches with my constant switches.
My teams plan is to run and carry, use our amazing foot skills. Will be unbeatable with ball use.
Its a pretty young team but is also ready now. So can contend for current and future flags.
Has good forward pressurers, enough goalkickers, clearnace kings, outside runners, dominate ruckman and ofcourse rebound.
Thats my write up, hope you understood my point. 8)
Nice write up maca. Will do mine now :)
Ok so this is my final team...
FB: C. Brown, B. Rutten, P. Davis
HB: L. Hodge, N. Bock, S. Selwood
C: R. Douglas, C. Ward, D. Beams
HF: R. Gray, C. Dawes, J. Sherman
FF: J. Garlett, J. Grant, J. Porplyzia
Foll: A. Sandilands, K. Jack, C. Morton
Bench: N. Naitanui R. Sloane, M. Brown (Eagles)
Sub: J. Ziebell
Depth: R. Schoenmakers, T. Collier, B. Houli, Brad Ebert, A. Edwards, S. McKernan , S. Jacobs, A. Otten
Now to explain it :)
Backs
The backs is probably my strongest area in my opinion. Having Rutten and Bock there to take out the 2 key forwards of the opponent with Campbell Brown and Phil Davis looking after the smaller forwards and mopping up from ground level. If they play with 3 talls Davis can go to the third or I can bring on Mitch Brown or Ryan Schoenmakers who are both great KPP prospects. Then to add the run out of the back got the original quarterback player Luke Hodge, and on the other wing Scott Selwood, plus waiting in the wings Andy Otten and Tom Collier. Both of them are good young players who can play on talls or smalls.
Mids
Mids I have gone very young, but all have great potential. To play in the guts got Kieran Jack and Callan Ward who both can win their own ball and are hard at the footy, same goes with Sloane on the bench, he is one of the hardest guys around in my opinion. These three will win contested ball and get it out to the outside players Douglas, Beams and Cale Morton, all three have speed and are classy with the football. For depth I have Houli and Brad Ebert waiting for their chance.
Rucks
I think the best in the draft. Big 211 and Nic Nat. The best ruckman in the game and the ruckman with the most potential. Both can also go play forward if required to add another target, Sandi just because of his height and Naitanui because of his amazing athleticism and jumping ability. If one of them ever got injured got the very capable Sam Jacobs as a reserve.
Forwards
Not my strongest point but can still get the job done. Dawes and Grant to play as the talls up forward, Dawes just a brute and Grant when he puts on a bit more muscle will be a dominant FF. Picking up their crumbs are Garlett and the Porpoisem, 2 of the best crumbers around who can score from any angle. Gray and Sherman add the speed and link up play, which is what Ziebell can also do when he comes on the field. Then as reserves got Edwards and McKernan. Edwards very strong overhead and starting to improve his goal scoring. McKernan more of a utility player, he can play as a tall forward, tall back or play in the ruck if needed.
So there you have it, that is my team :)
B: Hardingham, Frawley, Gwilt
HB: Goddard(C), Mcpharlin, Malceski
C: Kennedy, Mundy, Hannebery
HF: Bastinac, Cloke, Sidebottom
F: Lecras, Crameri, Blair
Foll: Clark, Priddis(VC), Martin
Int: Bellchambers, Jones, Grundy Sub: Gysberts
Reserve:
Lynch (GC)
Duncan
Goldsack
Silvagni
Morabito
Carlisle
Burgoyne
Corey
Defence: I have 3 great KPP's in Frawley, Mcpharlin & Grundy (on the bench) who should be able to shut down the opposition's key fwd's most weeks, then I have Hardingham & Gwilt to cover the smalls & can also play on taller opponents if needed, Malceski is there for his run off HB & Goddard is the best player in the comp when in form. I also have Goldsack, Silvagni & Carlisle in reserve who can all hold down key spots.
Midfield: Have 2 young swans in Hannebery & Kennedy who both broke out last year & are still going strong this year, Martin who is close to All Aus form in only his 2nd season and Priddis & Mundy are 2 of the best in & under players in the comp. I also have one of the best taggers in Jones on the bench. Goddard, Bastinac, Sidebottom, Lecras & even Blair can all play the middle as well. Gysberts is an exciting player who can rack up disposals and have an impact as well making him a good sub imo. Corey & Burgoyne in the reserves bring experience. Morabito & Duncan can also play in the middle.
Forwards: Fairly happy with the end result of my fwd line. Cloke is the in form CHF this year & combined with Crameri they will form the spine of my forward line. I also have Lecras who is the best small fwd around & Blair is a decent crumber. Sidebottom has shown he can play forward & kick goals as well as run through the middle & is still very young even though he is already a premiership player. Bastinac will rotate with Hannebery & Kennedy. Clark & Grundy can also switch forward when needed. In reserves I have mainly younger forward prospects in Carlisle, Lynch, Duncan & Morabito but also have the experienced Burgoyne who can play fwd as well.
Rucks: Clark is my main ruckman & is one of the most versatile ruckmen around as he is able to play as a genuine key forward when needed. Bellchambers on the bench is a great tap ruckman & a good contested mark as well. A fairly young ruck duo but both have a lot of improvement left in them. Lynch can also go into the ruck if one of them goes down.
Overall I've gone for a pretty young side but I believe it can contend now & in the future & as it was a dynasty draft that was my aim :)
Hopefully that makes sense am in a bit of a rush :-X

Think I know more old players than I thought.
We need 1 pick from Hulmie and 2 picks from ML. Not sure what to do with Andrew.
Team
B: Dempsey, lonergan, Gilbee
HB: Deledio, Rivers, Birchall
C: Redden,Boak, Trengrove
HF: D.Thomas, Jurrah, J.Mcveigh
FF: Banfield, Tippett, L.Thomas
FOL: Mumford, Pendlebury(VC),Scully
Int: Moloney, N.Jones, Ling (C), Carlile
Ext: M.Robinson, M.Maguire, J.Hill, Vardy, Savage, Hawkins, Hocking, Reid,
Backs:
The backline is the oldest and most experienced section of the team with lonergan, rivers starting on the field then the younger alipate carlile coming off the bench they are the key position defenders. I think there is a lot of run out of the backline with the small defenders because you have Birchall and Deledio running off half back whom both are great runners of they ball off half back and can quite often set up some great play and can both be X- factors of a game. you also have Gilbee and dempsey down there who are both good runners of the ball as well so i think my backline has a great mix of players.
Midfield:
I would say my midfield is mixed with some very experienced and some not soexperienced players but it would have to be my best part of my team. starting with Pendlebury and scully on the ball and boak in the centre with redden and trengove on the wings that is a nice young midfield there with Dale thomas able to move into the midfield from HFF if needed aswell. Then you have Ling, Nathan Jones and Brent Moloney who are all very accomplished midfielders to come in off the bench you have ling who can tag if needed and also Hocking and Savage and Robinsin in reservers to come in is good depth. So over all a good forward line imo.
Forward: Porbably my weakest department, My KPP are Jurrah and Tippett who are both still quite young and alson Sam reid who is going to be a great KP forward in the reserves, then with Lindsay Thomas, Dale Thomas, Banfield and Jarrad Mcveigh as the small forwards they all have a good run on them and LIndsay thomas can definately take a good strong mark down forward, Dale Thomas is an X-factor type of player aswell then you have MCveigh and banfield who can both snag one or two aswell so a pretty young forward line aswell with Josh hill able to come in from the reserves and Nathan Vardy and Tom Hawkins as another Key Forward if needed.
Ruck:
Mumford is my main ruckman who is now one of the best ruckman in the league when fully fit and Tippett can come in to the ruck when needed to give mumford a rest as tippett is a handy ruckman aswell, then with one of the up and coming ruckman Vardy who seems to be doing very well on the ext bench i think my rucks are quite good then if really needed there is tom hawkins who can play part time ruck as well as a key forward.
Whole team: I think this team has a good mix of mostly young players and a few older ones will work well the team has a lot of run in the midfielders and the small forwards and defenders so i imagine my team would play in a rather fast style Cameron Ling would be my Captain with Pendles being the vice captain for when ling retires.
yeah rekn ur wight C4 the write ups should be posted with teams,
helps get the strategical point across 8)
Great work pot. Lacking the big guns but you have some great depth.

FOL:Renouf,Watson(c),Dal Santo
INT:Trengove(power),Shiels,Guerra
SUB:Breust
Depth:Graham
Henderson
Hutchins
Foley
Day
Patfull
Dick
Kerr
Defense: Very young back line but all of these guys are gun players in the afl or for there team.I have my main two key backs in Pears and Reid.Stratton who can play on small or tall,Mackie who is a rebounding defender(but can play on talls).Harbrow who is a awesome rebounding defender and Gibbs who can be a rebounding defender,float into the midfield or play on a small.Trengove can also be rotated through there And guerra is a great defender and my most expirnced.My reserves for kpp defenders are strong in Patfull and Young Hutchins and Hendo can also play down there.
Midfield:My midfield is lead by the likes of Swan and Watson who are two of the best midfielders in the afl.Dal Santo is also a great midfielder.Young and Bennel both have that X factor.Ther both very pacey and young has a huge kick.Shiels is also one of the most improved players in the AFL and can only get better.Kerr and Foley are very expreinced and strong backups and players like gibbs and lewis can rotate through there.
Forward:Probaly my weakest spot.Walker will be a gun forward in a season or 2 at GWS ( :P ).Westoff also has great potenital but still needs to improve alot.My small fowards are very stong i belive in Shicnder,Matera and Monfries.and Lewis is a quality middie who moves into the forward line.My sub in Breust is a great sub because he is quick and can have an impact on the game in a short amount of time.In my reserves i have two great potenial blokes in henderson and Day and Dick is also in the reserves
Ruck:Brent Renouf is my number one ruck.Not the greatest ruck but he is fairly good and can only get better.I dont have a dedicated 2nd ruk in my best 22 but trengove is very capable at rucking and westoff can ruck as well.Graham is a quality Reserve
Great work hawka :)
Just having a look at the list, there is a duplicate.

B: Broughton, Chaplin, Grima
HB: Hurn, H. Taylor, Maxwell (C)
C: Embley, Rich, Rischitelli
HF: Chapman, Franklin, Brennan
F: Watts, Petrie, Nahas
R: Z. Smith, A. Swallow (VC), Mitchell
I/C: H. Hartlett, Scotland, Vickery SUB: S. Hill
Depth: S. Martin, Gilham, J. Steven, C. Knights, T. Hunt, Laidler, R. Henderson, C. Dixon
Backline:
Probably a Key to my team. I have several Key Position Backman where, in the AFL, can never have enough Quality Backmen. Broughton is a great talent and is a solid running backman. He will get the small defender as will Hurn. Hurn will be my quarterback to boot the ball down the field. At anytime he is being tagged, Maxwell is the man out of defence, which he can do to great effect. Grima can play on talls or small so provide that added versatility down back. Chaplin and Harry Taylor bring up the spine of the my defence and can prove quite a duo. Chaplin gets the deep forward and Taylor has the ability to hold the CHF. And at anytime if they can't hold down their man, I can easily change Grima onto one of them. On the bench have Scotland who can play a disposal machine off half back if needed. With the depth I went with Gilham who is in the top 2 Key Defenders at Hawthorn and is a solid backup to Chaplin/Taylor. Add to that Stefan Martin as yet another Key Back option and it shows how strong it is even if injuries strike. Threw in the Youth of Laidler and Taylor Hunt and my backline is set for the entire 5 seasons easily. These two are turning into very poised backmen for their team and aren't afraid to take on the game.
Midfield:
Potentially the most lethal line. Embley and Riska bringing the ball on the wings will mean my runners will be my strong point by far. To back them up I also chose Hartlett and Hill will will certainly be quite a bit of added pace and will be Superstars in the near future with their talent. In and Unders on field is Andrew Swallow and Sam Mitchell, no explanation needed as they are great at getting the hard ball and arguably the in the top 10 in the AFL for inside midfielders. On the bench I also have Scotland who has the ability to run through the midfield not to mention Chapman and Brennan in the forwardline who can be just as lethal as anybody. Limited depth as the majority of my midfield are in the starting team. Jack Steven is turning into a consistent inside midfielder who can play small forward and kick a few goals. Ricky Henderson can play a little on the wings and same with Knights if needed.
Rucks:
I'd say my weakest point but they have the potential to be good for the overall dynamic of the team. Zac Smith has shown confidence and consistent ability to perform at AFL level in his first season. Certainly will only rise from here. To back him up have Petrie and Vickery on field. Having both these guys allow for easy rotation from forwards to part time ruck when Smith needs a rest. Works very well as have some experience in Petrie combined with the potential in Smith and Vickery. For added backup is Stefan Martin who is underrated. He has been a very good pinch-hitting ruckman. He may not be the best tap ruckman out there, but his work around the ground is phenomenal. Adding to that he's yet another versatile part-timer, it creates very flexible partnerships for Smith.
Forwardline:
I'd hope my Forwards would be the most lethal out there. Chapman, Buddy and Brennan on that Half forward will give most defenders nightmares. All are Gamebreakers and can't send all the attention to just one player without feeling the effects through the other two. Throw in Watts and Petrie and it's quite a tall lineup. This will trouble all defences when it comes to matchups. If they lack the talls, they'll get beaten in the air. Nahas as a forward pocket will do very well when he's crumbing to these two guys. Not to mention the pace of Buddy and Brennan, although they are tall, it's a very dangerous forward set up. Watts was chosen as he's got an abundance of potential and is just starting to show what he can do. Not to mention Vickery on the bench who could easily replace Petrie in time and that's quite a combo in the Key Forward department. Buddy + Watts + Vickery = Dominance in the Talls in 2 seasons. The depth sees Ricky Henderson, Knights and Jack Steven who can add another small to the setup if needed. Good options as if we need help for Nahas, can easily call any of the three up and we'll know what we are getting. Charlie Dixon was probably my worst pick of the draft (Due to picking him so early) but adds yet another Prospect in the Key Forward department making it one of the most backed up in the draft.
Maxwell gets Captain as he seems to set a great example for young players. He does his job and keeps pushing others around him, perfect for a Captain as he shows hard work pays off. Andrew Swallow gets Vice as he's a Captain in waiting 8).

Backline
My backline i feel is pretty solid i have a mix of young and old. B.Lake is the key i hope he would play like the B.Lake of last year and if he does he is the best FB in the AFL. N.Brown is one of the most promising CHB going at the moment he's already made a name for himself being able to hold some of the great CHF of the game. J.Gibson gives me a bit of versatilty with his ability to play on either big or small fowards. Having running players such as J.Adcock, J.Russell and G.Johncock running out of the backline it will hopefully give me plenty of rebound giving me quick suply to my forward line.
Midfield
I feel my midfield is extremely strong with Hayes, Thompson and Selwood in the middle it's going to be very hard for a team to beat them at the centre clearances. Also having Stanton and Wells out on the wings i am going to have plenty of run and drive into my forward line. The thing with my Midfield is the fact that while i have a few more experianced midfielders (L.Hayes, S.Black, S.Thompson) i also have the young players needed to keep my midfield very strong once there gone with J.Selwood (23), D.Swallow (18), L.Shuey (21), Cunnington (20) L.Jetta (22) .
Ruck
Both my ruckman are of good quaity with Jamar and MacIntosh so i'm happy in that department.
Forwards
I feel this is the Strongest part of My team first off having my HF line of S.Johnson, M.Pavlich and C.Sylvia just looking at those names all playing alongside each other is just mouth watering all these blokes speak for themselves. J.Kennedy one of the most promisingyoung FF in the game at the moment is just starting to really hit his straps and show exactly what he is capable of. Also having Ballantyne roving and niggling around in the forwad line just adds another dimension to this team.
I feel my team has that good mix of young old and players in there prime there are plenty of players who can rotate between all positions all over the field. L.Hayes is my captain with J.Selwood as my Vice Captain taking over when Hayes retires.
Last time im telling you hulmie but your missing a player from your list, plus you need to make another pick.

Caveman has messaged me, and he is really keen to muster up a team with the leftover players.
Is that ok with everyone? Ive also suggested to him that maybe he can take over from andrews pick and use his team?
Dont think Andrew is interested anymore anyway.

Sounds good to me since Andrew has got some good players in there already. Need 9 players I think to finish that team off. I have some defenders that didn't go if you want C4 ;).
Pm those defenders HP. I might take them of your hands. ;)

* Contested ball is the focus of the midfield, Judd, Sewell, Cotchin and co r all hard at it in and under
* Versatile Ruckmen, Kruezer 21, Ryder 23 super promising combination that can also get after it around the ground
* Electric crumbing forwards that can push into the midfield, 2 big key targets in Roo and the resting ruckmen Kruezer or Ryder
* Depth and youth on the bench and sizzling pace with Leroy Jetta as the sub
* Extended bench supplies depth and flexibility for matchups in all positions example going tall: McEvoy>Ruck, Ryder>CHB, Kruezer>FF
* Chris Judd captain is exemplary on and off the field, is a great foundation for strong culture, much like Trent Cotchin his successor
From what I've been told Marcz, only 5 years for this Dynasty :-X.
Should we do a poll in the Front Bar or do like a discussion on here on who would likely win each season of the 5?

I honestly think discussion would be the best. I can do a poll aswell though.
We need ML to make his 2 picks then caveman can do his team.
I like discussion so all for it :). We need to get an unanimous vote though for a team to win a season :).

Yep I agree.
Quote from: Andrew3737 on April 12, 2011, 12:50:52 PM
Its about building a team to win premierships over a X amount of time.
For example, I pick the best players avaliable right now. You pick the best potential players that might* become elite. The best players will always win at this time. You may win later on but how many?
* the players who have potential to become elite, may even not become elite. They could get an injury or just not reach it.
With my current team, I am looking @ Premierships for the first 3-4 years and then rebuilding later on. In this draft, there will be about 3 teams that will dominate and the others will be borderline contending. That's generally how drafts pan out. So If I win just one premiership with this team, thats going to be better then almost all the teams that are in this.
When people say Dynasty, they always get young players. I am taking advantage of that and picking the best current players which gives me the best chance to win the most premierships. Its always my strategy to go all out with the best current players because it gives you a window where no one else really has one. Which gives me the best team for that year, and ultimately a premiership. I won't have as much competition in the 1st-3rd years as the other teams will have in 3rd-10th years. Gives me a lot better chance of winning premierships, which this draft is all about.
i dont really mind but i selected my team based around this interpretation...
Levi Greenwood and Tendai Mzungu.
Thanks ML.
The problem with discussion is majority have lost interest in this...

I know. Its a bit selfish of them IMO cas it ruins it for others.
I didnt join the all time cas I was unsure whether I could last the whole thing.
yeah it is lame :( i get as much out of the journey if not more than the result anyway ;)

Hey guys,
Just wanted to run something by you.
With the team I've created using Andrew's picks, the average age for the 22 players is over 27. IMO, that's a little ridiculous if you're going for a dynasty. I was wondering if I'd be allowed to bin a few of his picks and pick some of my own from the remaining pool of players just to make it a better team?
I might have picked them if they were available so I'd say no :-X
i agree with no sorry c4...
that was his strategy tho, i just quoted it on the page before
His strategy was for like the first season or two. It's hard as if he hadn't chosen them a few of us would have like Boomz said.
UNLESS we do this draft all over again :P.
Understood guys. I'll have the team and write-up done after dinner.

Hey everyone, c4 here. Thanks for your patience.
Finally finished Andrew's team. It wasn't easy seeing how many ageing players he chose. But with out futher ado, I present to you...
(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/2113/taslogo.png)
FB: | Leon Davis | Daniel Merrett | Paul Duffield |
HB: | Robert Murphy | Sam Fisher | Paul Puopolo |
C: | Adam Goodes | Kane Cornes | Daniel Cross |
HF: | Ryan O'Keefe | Jonathan Brown | Brent Harvey |
FF: | Alan Didak | James Podsiadly | Kepler Bradley |
R: | Darren Jolly | Gary Ablett Jnr. | Adam Cooney |
INT: | Cameron Pedersen | Daniel Pearce | Michael Hibberd | Ben Howlett (SUB) |
DEPTH: | David Myers | Kyle Cheney | Leigh Adams | David Ellard |
| Kieran Harper | Kyle Reimers | Ricky Petterd | Matthew Lobbe |
BacksOut of the three main areas, back-line, midfield and forward-line, I'd have to say that my back-line is my weakest. Sam Fisher and Daniel Merrett are my only key defenders, but Duffield, Murphy, Davis and Puopolo provide a great amount of support with rebounding defence. I'm hoping Daniel Merrett can step up this year after finishing third in most goals conceded by an AFL player for the 2010 season. :-\ Luckily, Pedersen and Hibberd are on the bench to provide additional help to the backline.
MidfieldWith a power midfield combination of Goodes, K. Cornes, Cross, Cooney and of course Ablett, this midfield is where the magic will happen. Ablett and Cooney are dynamite at the stoppages in terms of clearances; sitting at #1 and #5 respectively for highest clearance average per game. Goodes and Cross provide great running support on the wings and Kane Cornes simply adds another dimension to the midfield. With Harper, Ellard, Adams, Howlett, Pearce, Hibberd around too, there's a wealth of midfield talent in this team. :D
ForwardsWith big man Jonathon Brown and the jPod at the helm of our forward line, you just know you're kicking goals. ;) With the pace from the midfield coupled with Ryan O'Keefe and Brent Harvey, the amount of inside 50s will be amazing to see. Can your team's keep up? ;) Didak is the only 'small' forward in the team and will have his work cut out for him around the stoppages inside 50. Bradley will provide valuable rucking assistance whilst being an extra pair of hands up forward. Pedersen and Howlett are on the bench to provide help up forward.
RuckDarren Jolly takes the #1 rucking duties for the Tasmania Stallions. With a hitout winning percentage of 39% and a hitout-to-advantage rate of 23% last year, it's easy to see why he's one of best ruckman in the league. On field, Kepler Bradley and Cameron Pedersen provide Jolly with some ruck relief if required. Matthew Lobbe, a developing ruckman, is showing enormous potential (was #1 ruckman for Port whilst Brogan was out) and will become a fantastic replacement when Jolly retires.
InterchangeThere is a great amount of flexibility on the bench; something you need in the modern game. Cameron Pedersen can incredibly play at full-back, up forward or pinch hit in the ruck. Daniel Pearce provides support for the midfield along with Michael Hibberd and Ben Howlett. Michael Hibberd can also provide assistance in the backline; like Ben Howlett up forward.
DepthWith a very old list, a great amount of youth was needed for the Stallions. Luckily, all of the players waiting in the wings also have a decent amount of AFL experience under their belt as well. I picked these players with upcoming retirements in mind.
Adam Goodes, Brent Harvey and Ryan O'Keefe will be 'replaced' (ugly word) by Kyle Reimers, Ben Howlett and Leigh Adams.
James Podsiadly and Jonathan Brown -> Cameron Pedersen
Darren Jolly -> Matthew Lobbe (as mentioned before)
Leon Davis -> Michael Hibberd
Robert Murphy -> Kyle Cheney
Alan Didak -> Kieran Harper and Ricky Petterd
Kane Cornes -> David Ellard and Leigh Adams
Sam Fisher -> David Myers
OverallWith an overall average team (of 22) age of over 27, this team is no doubt experienced. With the wealth of talent in this team, there is no doubt a premiership is just around the corner for the Stallions. While there maybe some retirements in the not-so-distant future, the players waiting in the wings will provide an excellent replacement to keep the dynasty going.
The other great positive about this team is the amount of flexibility available. Changes to the placements on field can be made on the fly with little or no downfall. It'll defintely keep the opposition coaches guessing. ;)
For the record, Ablett is the Stallion's captain with Brown, Goodes, Harvey and Cornes all forming a leadership group.
Phew. I'll be honest, apart the statistics, I kinda winged that.
After everyone had finished taking their picks, it was still interesting to see the players that were unfortunately left behind. If I had of been able to bin some of those picks I would have chosen: Jason Winderlich, Scott McMahon, Bret Thornton, Mark Seaby, Sam Iles to join the team along with some more youth.
Though, if I feel sorry for anyone, it's for Brock McLean. He simply couldn't fit into any team. Again. ;D
Thanks guys for letting me finish Andrew's team. Oh and by the way, that logo....yep, I designed that. Good huh! ;)
Wow such beautiful presentation and a great write up! You have swayed me to vote for you! :P
Actually not sure who I will vote for yet. You have done a great job finishing the team C4 :)
Great Job C4!
Just swap Pods with Brown ;)
Pods would get owned if he played at CHF.
Ive made the thread in the front bar.
I just need ML's full team posted in here so I can add it to the poll.
PS. What do you think of the Stallions new guernsey? ;)

Haha C4! Nice picks and plan to "replace" your Golden Oldies :P.
Thanks HP. Definitely an interesting strategy Andrew had going for older players.
He was basically going for the first 1 or 2 years. Saying 1 premiership would be more than most others get :P.
I went for a mix and a very strong team over the 5 seasons with some oldies :P.
