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.

    The game is won in the midfield, or so it is said.

    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.

    A winger? different.

    10:15 Fri 3/12 is The Master's deadline

    RRR's next pick is in the can with me.

    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.

    Read a bit further.

    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.

  • Quote

    Can't believe Bartel is still there and I won't pick him!

    Pick 34. The Master - Dale Thomas (Coll).

    I feel dirty.

    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

    I think he meant the th38 of E.

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

    Got your bookends Trengove...

    Progressing very nicely, quite happy so far. All from imo lesser clubs too :)

    Sandilands..?

    I consider Freo one of the relatively "full of talent" teams.

    Not quite Geelong or Collingwood, but still.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
