So... getting down to the last of the talent at Carlton, West Coast, Richmond and Essendon.

Not much left at Brisbane, never was too much at Port.

Geelong has been almost entirely pillaged.

I need to get into Freo and Adelaide before there's nothing left!

Not forgetting the might of the GC Suns.

I accept that they are full of kids and I'll end up selecting one, so it doesn't really matter who it is as they're all untested.

Come to think of it. They come in different shapes and sizes. And there is superior quality from the top end of the draft in Bennell & Day. Not forgetting Toy who D.Swallow regarded as one who should of gone no.1 in the draft, if he was a little older. So, there are bargains. There's also some experience available.......

Not many know of McKenzie, Russell or Weller, who I'd also be happy to select.

That's what makes this so pointless, with no way of qualifying whose list is the best.

Might be worth returning to at the conclusion of the 2011 season. Or not...

Or there is Krakouer, Brown, Toy who are known, etc. With 6 GC players already gone. There might well be a MYER stampede rush for them. The second Gold rush ...perhaps.

Tomorrow night (Tuesday) on this thread guys between 10:00-11:00pm I'm going to submit several interesting quiz questions. It hasn't got a title as such, but it could be seen as a mix of the following titles : -

* Hot hour quiz

* Hour of Power

* Window of opportunity

I'll post a few footy questions relating to the current players of today (so it is relevant to this thread), and if most or all entrants here are present we may even knock over quite a few picks in the process. First correct answers of questions gets bragging rights. Incorrect answers get a friendly uppercut.

If unavailable perhaps a PM to old55 with your preferred selection(s) to keep the ball rolling in the draft.

PS. If there is quite a number who cannot be available we may seek another preferred timeslot. Otherwise please confirm availability.

old55 - can you please confirm availability for timeslot or if you have a preferrable timeslot.

Quiz is not necessarily for those specifically participating in the Best 18 draft either.

My availability is unreliable at present - away with work. Carry on, seems to be going well and getting more interesting.

Cheers HT, happy with that. It's what I would have done, except if I got out my crystal ball and knew Eth38 was going to pluck Walker! He was high on my list.

Anyway I'm just happy to get Essendon done!

Pick 88: Taylor Walker (Adelaide)

B: Harbrow Pears

HB:

C: Hodge

Everyone on that team I respect and wanted, except maybe Priddis but he's pretty good for your WCE pick. Very well done whilst getting WCE, Ess, GC, Port and Sydney knocked off.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
