Had this guy pegged since the 1st round, but knew he'd be under the radar.

How long to leave it? I may have even pulled the trigger too early.

Pick 111 - Ben Reid - Collingwood

No I'd say your timing was pretty good actually.

Come on eth!

I agree. I don't necessarily think he was floating under the radar either. I think he's fallen at the pick at where he probably should.

It is all subjective and they will fall upon where entrants needs are. The rules of this draft ie. one player from each club also dictate or influence where they fall. It's an interesting concept.

Black Ops strikes again

We used 2 GB on Saturday and I had cricket in the morning, watched the cricket in the afternoon and stayed over at a friend's that night. Black Ops contributes, but it isn't all me :P

Question:

Are we picking players based solely on a shot at a hypothetical 2011 flag, or are we creating a side that will challenge for a few years after that as well? ie. With the last six or seven picks youth and/or experience becomes a stronger factor ...

Whatever floats your boat.

Whatever floats your boat.

I agree.

I've picked a team to win a 2011 flag, but with an eye to the future.

Which is why I haven't been keen on blokes like Scarlett, Brown, Black or Bock.

Fletcher is an interesting one. Made the AA squad of 40 this year and remains the only unpicked player from that group.

How long can that gadget man keep going!

Pick 114 - Wildcard pick - L. McPharlin (Freo)

The Master's Team:

FB: _____ Grima Hurn

HB: ________ McPharlin _____

C: Thomas Thompson Hill

HF: D. Swallow Henderson Monfries

FF: ______ Franklin ______

R: Jamar ______ Griffen

I decided it was time to take my second key back. Tossed up going for a more natural full back N. Brown, Carlile, Dawson, Thompson or any other good defender - Tarrant, T. Williams, C. Bolton, Grundy, Gibson. But at the end of the day thought Grima is versatile enough to play full back and McPharlin just has an edge of class on most of those.

Let's go Deestroy All.....

I've picked a team to win a 2011 flag, but with an eye to the future.

Which is why I haven't been keen on blokes like Scarlett, Brown, Black or Bock.

I've picked a team to strive for a flag in 2011-12-13-14. Looks as though we agree to disagree regarding Bock. I'd be staggered that at 27 he is considered finished. And I doubt very much Scotty Clayton would be of the same opinion as you E. Must be subjective.

Round 12:

Pick 115

Steven Salopek - Port Adelaide

B: Waters Lake

HB: Goddard

C: Salopek Murphy Davey

HF: Brennan

F: Fevola Green

* Adds another classy option to the midfield. I'm pretty happy with that group now.

Port cupboard now quite bare!

Round 12

Pick 117 - Travis Varcoe - Geelong

B Glass

HB Montagna Moore Grimes

C Cassisi

HF Harvey Brown Varcoe

F Tippett

R Sandilands Boyd Sewell

Nice.

I hope Bennell ends up as good as Varcoe. Similar starts to their career, small glimpses of real talent, but a lot of nothing games.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
