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.

    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.

    freudian slip

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

    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.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
