You and your damn drum rolls....

alright old man, it would take less time to make my picks if you didn’t fill up my inbox with PMs telling me to pick both Whitnall brothers

 

[Dyer Disciple]

Sorry, just realised I am up, working on it..

Corey Enright

Enright glad you picked, good player and I was having trouble justifying not picking him, you've taken the temptation away now. ;D

Alipate Carlile - Port Adelaide Football Club.

PHEW! ;D

If you took your picks on time I wouldn't have the time. ;D

 

[Tigerbob]

PHEW! ;D

;D

So not the one you had in mind.

Maybe he could of lasted another round but as I said delighted to get him.

Knowledgeable people have said to me this kid is very, very good.

Will be Port Adelaide's starting Full Back from round one (barring injuries) and they club and the fans think he is the best defender (yes much better than your Chad ) so to get him this far down, very happy, makes my line up much better structurally as well.

You'll find out soon enough. 8)

Chad is a premiership CHB and blitzs from that position everytime he plays it, he's just been more required in the midfield at Port of late.

He's a great get for you as what you need, but different sort of a player. More a Fullback than CHB/roaming player.

My pick:

I am thankful he lasted this long, I rate this kid extremely highly, was Port Adelaide's best defender last season, did remarkable jobs on Brendan Fevola and Nick Riewoldt, Port fans have high hopes and already class him as their best defender.

Next year everyone will take notice.

Alipate Carlile - Port Adelaide Football Club.

Finally take a defender for structure, with vultures circling around defenders, wasn't sure he would last another round.

Delighted to get him.

Good pick up.
Was on my list for my next pick.

 

[Tigerbob]

Thanks for that checkers.

Justified my decision to take him now. He will be one who springs up next year.

 

[Phar Ace]

No question he is very dour - noticed last season he tried to be more attacking and got found out a bit - it's a learning curve that one. He'll be interesting to watch this seasonfor sure, but unless someone is an Alipate convert already, not sure he'll be thought much of.

Don;t worry about Dyer Dyer, he is the self-proclaimed critic and analyst of all things PuntRoadEnd draft He has an opinion on everything - just ask him? :hihi

But isn't he doing a good job! :clap

 

[Dyer Disciple]

But isn't he doing a good job! :clap

You're too kind.

I just make an ass out of myself trying to be like Mike...I mean Pharace.

You are my idol.

 

[Phar Ace]

You are my idol.

And it seems you are are my idle............ :hihi

16 more minutes til be move on from Tiger29's pick

 

[Dyer Disciple]

And it seems you are are my idle............ :hihi

I wouldn't expect a Great as yourself would know I even exist, Id be flattered if you did.

Now speaking of idle....where is T29?

 

[Phar Ace]

I wouldn't expect a Great as yourself would know I even exist, Id be flattered if you did.

That's OK Baldrick..........your impressions of him are astonishing....

 

[TOT70]

Looks like it is time to move on.

Brady Rawlings from the Kangas. That's at least one midfielder from the opposition that won't get a kick each game.

Smart, same with t29 taking Sewell. Early pick for Sewell but very cunning for the reason you stated.

I had Sewell, Ling, Kirk and Rawlings all ranked together and was going to try to take whichever one was left.

Most of my plans have been blown out of the water but this one actually worked.

 

[Phar Ace]

Rawlings is one of those players easy to underrate cos he's so annoying - easy to despise. Good pick Toto, if structure is where you are at. :clap

Same for exactly the same reason. You just blew one of my plans out of the water. ;D

 

[Col.E.Kurtz]

Enright glad you picked, good player and I was having trouble justifying not picking him, you've taken the temptation away now. ;D

I'm not a huge fan, but fact is he is an all-australian last year
