Quick Observation:

If you were given picks 2 and 19 and told that you were able to secure the services of both Gary Ablett and Dane Swan (arguably the two best players in 2010) you'd say stop talking BS.

Well Deez Nutz secured them.

I have great faith in Chip.

It's not a normal draft though - you need to fill every position and you need to be mindful that you must take 1 player from each team.

I'd take 4 AA players as opposed to Ablett, Swan, Newton and Jake King (extreme example).

Yeah I know, it as an observation. Besides Deez Nutz may argue that he'd like a superior midfield. Just for argument's sake.

Maybe not - I think R16-18 could get very interesting

Yeah, was surprised when I saw ox_5 reach for Black, but at the same time, I'm not awed by the talent available at Brisbane.

I didn't consider Brown either, for the same reasons.

I guess, I see this as being like GC17 - I'm building a team to compete from Round 1 2011, but with the future in mind.

Yeah I went early, because it's the take the cream early. Those I rate above him I don't need.

Will make a handy winger if I can get who I want.

Yeah, thanks mate. It's really great when everyone maybe has forgotten about someone and you interfere.

Awesome. Bartel is still available too! Wanna point that out?

I mean, I have a list of players I'm aiming to get, maybe I should just post it on here?

Oh waah.

I doubted anyway that people had simply forgotten him. But if I was there I'd have taken him by now. Not that that matters at all.

No, but filling posters with confidence that a player they rate will be there later, means others can swoop.

Or alternetively, you could be able to manipulate the strategy of the weak-minded.

There are all sorts of little mind games to play.

You mean this?

Meh...I was merely presenting my POV. Which I know no one cares about, but if we all did what we thought people wanted, then rpfc would hardly post and this site would lose some of its lustre.

Misdirection.

I don't care if someone chooses Enright or Bartel.

I expect them to be gone anyway.

Was going for best available, I rated Ablett and Swan as obvious top 3 selections along with Sandilands. Was one pick away from getting Pavlich in the 3rd round, would have been a perfect start. A lot of the lesser known KPF's I thought would slip haven't, was also hoping for Mumford with my next pick but the 25 of E beat me to it.

Time to get tactical on this mother...

E25 selected Kreuzer, Mumford's the No. 1 ruck at my team

Apologies for taking away your perfect start from you. :)

Will be back later, hopefully with my choices still up for grabs...

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
