Yep, that was my other move. Hoping to snag him next. Back to the board.

I had THAT birdy in my sights, even had him in my dream team before he played a game I rated him so much, but in this comp. Pass. ;D

You ought to ask my wife what my first love is. AFL footy that is. (So she laughs.)

BTW, my pick is Craig Bird - Swans

First year in AFL footy, near 300 possies in 21 games coming off the bench.

Damn Damn Damn - Bloody Josh Carr - why the hell didn't soeone take him earlier.

Yep I am a C. Bird fan.

He will be a gem in 3-4 years.

I mentioned another player the other day to Pharace....and he mentioned Bird....while I was talking about Jack. ;D

Geez, will someone give IanG a break from Checkout1, so he can come and put his selection in >:D

Actually, to give you guys some inside info....IanG was PMing the hell out of me all afternoon trying to insist he was right on this pick to take John Meesen as a back up to Campbell and Moran...I DID say to him it was a waste of a pick...BUT he keeps digging up all his junior stats now.

I think I will just give in so he will post. :pullhair

Good call, he'll learn more from saying it AND writing it down ;)

I have no idea what you are talking about kind sir, I am outraged you would question Ian's impeccable judgement and integrity!

Read: I just saw him come online...got to run!

You wish :rofl

I pick David Armitage from The Aints. A player who I feel has been hard done by.
 
Don;t go back to the Checkout just yet Ian - think Dyer Dyer has Maddy's picks

By the way, i think Armitage will only get better - show some blistering skill and judgment in a few games - so he know what to do - just needs the confidence I think

Saints fans like him - some say he is already best 22 and wonder why hes not getting his chances. He will break into it soon I reckon.

I agree with you guys. I rate him.

He also gets knocked by a lot of Saints fans according to a female friend I knew who was a hardcore supporter of them. From memory it was about his speed and size, but for mine, he has a genuine footy brain which will always give him a chance. I like him myself.

So 11.00 tomorrow then?

Whoops....my bad, too late and brain gone to mush. I did have Maddy's picks, I was thinking Pharace was referring to Madcow/Capo.

SUPER effort guys! After the slow day yesterday I think we did a record today in the slog end of the draft so kudos to all.

Special thanks to T29 and Checkers who I know made great efforts, I think we did about 2 rounds in a day today so was a fantastic (record?) accomplishment.

I won't be on the first half of tomorrow from 9am as catching up with a friend from interstate, I'll do my best to keep things moving from the info I have on my end by hook or crook...or worse yet, Pharace.

Cheers all!
