Not that it's really all that important, but Duffy and Bootsma should be up there as available players.

Ripper picks LE. I would have taken Seedy with pick 1, and Thomas averaged 80 odd unsubbed.
Title: Re: EXV 2014 Rookie Draft
Post by: Adamant on January 18, 2014, 12:23:25 AM
Haha was wondering for ages why you had listed Seedsman in your squad ele since you had no trades involving him that I was aware of.

Figured it out earlier today though. :P

Thanks mate :) Seedy is a magnet although I am a big Mullett fan too. JT slots very very nicely into the U2 position. I see him as the ready-made replacement for Luke Ball, really love the way he goes about it!

Figured Mullett and Seedy would go early. Thomas going earlier than expected but has alot of potential!

Only thing that made me pick Mullett over Seedy is I fear Seedy losing Defender status at some stage!
Title: Re: EXV 2014 Rookie Draft
Post by: Justin Bieber on January 18, 2014, 12:43:27 AM
Iceland only have 4 available spots on their list, so #50 and our skipped Nat picks of #39 and #53 will also not be taken :). Just to clean that tail end up a bit!
Title: Re: EXV 2014 Rookie Draft
Post by: Vinny on January 18, 2014, 12:45:57 AM
Was going to get one of Seedy or Mullet with my Pick 3 and then found out the bad news so traded the pick. :'(

But great picks fellas.

I've barley looked at this draft yet, bet do some research.

Bison will only be using picks 18, 27 and 41.

Stallions will only use 17 mate, the rest can be crossed out. Cheers :)

Seedsman averaged 89 unsubbed in his second year as a defender
Thomas averaged 85 unsubbed in his first year of AFL and averaged 112 in the VFL

Safe to say I am very very happy

but he lasted, and I'm flowering stoked :P

Very hard choice, but think this bloke has lots of upside particularly if not tagging.

Welcome to the Titans: Brent Macaffer

If the bloke I would have picked @ 24 is still there when it gets to that pick I will definitely cry.
Is it who I think it is?  ;)

Ok since a certain team just took our player
You`ll all have to wait until HB is online and we can discuss who we will now pick
CF is always lurking, I'm sure if you chuck him a PM he'll pop up soon.  ;)

Well he was on this morning and we discussed the final pick then and hsan`t been on since
And he has already been pm`ed

So LH doesn't even get a say these days? :P
Judging by the conversation so far, I'm gonna guess no.  :o

Okay, time to welcome another cub to the club (I've been waiting to use that one :P). Pretty sure Bunny's fine with me taking the picks...

Anyway, I really like this guy and reckon he's gonna be a really good player. Yes, we already have heaps of mids, but this guy is worth picking...

We'll take Viv Michie!

We've got Dom Tyson too, which was part of the reason for nabbing Viv.

The Dees picked 'em both up, so here's hoping at least one of them prospers.

Okay, back-to-back picks here.

With Pick 21, we'll take a guy that I think could be a decent player. Still young (21) and averaged 62 last year from 15 games. We'll take Tom Young.

(http://www3.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Tom%2BYoung%2BuWffIHL2kF_m.jpg)

Then, with Pick 22, we'll take a good young forward who we really like. He's got a good kick and performed really well in the games he played. He should hopefully feature enough to provide sufficient depth, it is with pleasure that we welcome Lewis Johnston.

He's the 39th player to join our list, so doesn't really matter if he doesn't make it. Might as well take a risk, and it's one that could very well pay off.

Please hold off any more picks for the moment. Just checking the Bashers list numbers. Looks like they might not have their full quota and have already passed on their second round pick.

Will have this sorted ASAP.

The possibility of forward status helped make the decision to pick him easier. If he does get games he will most likely be playing around the half forward line like he did in his 4 games this year. If he can play enough should get it and that would be awesome! Won Colingwood's award for best VFL player so hopefully gets more opportunity (so the Pumas can profit too >:D)

There's two players the Metal are equally interested in.

One for the now and a semi-decent future and one who won't get a single game this year, but will be for the future.

I'm not sure whether the one for the now will actually get a game for the Metal, but he could be a very nice pickup.

Problem is, they'll both be taken by our next pick, so I have to select one. I think I'll go the gun 22yo kid as I'm very surprised he's still available all the way out here

Back on topic, blicavs how did he last that long. Shakey JS but I would have taken a punt on him much earlier. Just shows the quality of the rookie. Really liking the smaller team sizes fir thus reason.

Hamish McIntosh into the fray, Dawson Simpson the Cats #1. If those boys can get 22 games between them, Blicavs won't be enjoying much ruck time. Vardy also a better ruck imo/

All I'm saying is I don't see him playing over those blokes for very much longer ;) #chuckhimonawing

Rids)..........looking at you Travis Varcoe, last chance mate, lift your game or your off to Siberia at the end of the year !!!!

**will post our pick as soon as we've had our chat, cheers guys

There's two players the Metal are equally interested in.

One for the now and a semi-decent future and one who won't get a single game this year, but will be for the future.

I'm not sure whether the one for the now will actually get a game for the Metal, but he could be a very nice pickup.

Problem is, they'll both be taken by our next pick, so I have to select one. I think I'll go the gun 22yo kid as I'm very surprised he's still available all the way out here

Mark Blicavs

I probs would have taken blicavs with pick 7 if nicholls hadnt been available

If you really needed a ruck then why didn't you take Pyke? Will be the #1 ruck for Sydney whereas Nicholls may not even be in the best 22 when Smith returns.

He should start this year while Smith recovers but a Smith/Dixon combo seems more likely going forward for GC than a Nicholls/Dixon one. Also Nicholls has had his own issues with injuries in the past.

Pyke meanwhile is pretty much guaranteed the #1 ruck spot at the Swans barring injury.

urg it's annoying when that happens- I think he played a fair bit def and a little forward with mid time in all his games... so not enough def or fwd for dpp, meaning mid only. What a joke :P

Don't think there's much left that'll help us straight away. Trying desperately to find someone who can help Metal 2014, but doesn't look like anyone worthy. Any suggestions people? ;)

Due to a lack of options that'll be an immediate help, I've been tossing up between a few kids. Quite a few good ones left but it's hard to tell which ones will be any good.

I'm glad this kid is left as I picked him up in 1 or 2 other competitions

TAC cup he averaged 23.4 possies/game and 7.7 marks/game. He may never get games being at a young talented team, so maybe I should pick someone else... But his stats are hard to ignore

Yep.

28.4 possies/game in TAC and 5.6 marks.

Provided Herbert and Maginness can actually get off the rookie lists and get games in next 2-3 years I should have a couple stars on my hands.
