Interesting.

At his best is still an elite on baller. In my opinion of course. ;)

Guess we're bound to disagree something now and then. :hihi

His a funny one, he was a beautiful kick but the last few years his kicking has been awful. I've heard he turns up to preseason out of shape a lot too of late and has to do mountains of work to get back in shape for the season. He just seems to have lost it in the mind. No doubt a elite player talent wise, but mentally he's lost the plot. Have a look at his kicking efficiency stats...dropped amazingly for a former elite kick. Maybe he has been struggling with long term injury, i think from distant memory he had OP early in his career.

Ah crap, now there is some talent I was going to swoop on if left to me. Almost took him last pick. Grrrrr.
Dont think your missing out on too much. Had a pretty average last 2 years.

He missed a chunk of 07, with a back injury at the start of the season so you had to wonder how fit/healthy he was. He was used as a tagger by Lethal, played on West, Harvey, Corey etc and averaged about 20 possessions which is good for a tagger. I do remember him getting 35 possessions in one game.

Only played about half of last season too, just gutted by injury, a serious talent for mine.

I just wanted him as a tagger, he got 25 more possession across the 2007 season when he was on guns than his opponents so that is a great performance for mine.

If it is allowed, I would like to change my last pick.

It was TROY SELWOOD.

I would like it to be JAMES KELLY.

Mate - I am going to say no -

it would set a bad precedence.

I know there were no picks after, however no one else has had chance to change pick.

your preference list could have had him before selwood -

I wonder what would happen if Francis Jackson stood up in the ND and asked if he could change his pick?
 
I will take Tiger29 pick - as would hate for him not to get him if he really wanted him, and a lot of people are on.

He picks Adam Maric - Adelaide.

I have no picks for him now - so he will need to opick again ( hes back tonight he said)

Addam Maric plays for Melbourne.

Ivan Maric plays for Adelaide.

Which lends the question which he meant? I know which one I would rather have.... :hihi....but that's not the point is it? ;D

I need to know which to update, can yo tell what type of player he was after from his list U2 or did you make the team blunder?
 
Tannerz, you have another pick now which you could take Kelly with if you wanted?


Also, if you want you can send me an updated list.
