Would love this outcome, also wouldn't mind if Carroll was substituted in for one of the latter two.

[Little Goffy 14,475]

Righto, I'll have a go since there are prizes on offer -

Caleb Poulter, Jack Carroll, Kaine Baldwin,  pass

Ford and Winder now gone. Thought we might have stole one with our last pick.

Nearest the pin wins a framed and signed 'Best 22' plaque from @WERRIDEE

I can go one better a best 44 now that the draft is over. By the way rapt with the picks speed and class on the wing and forward pocket just what I was hoping for.

Patience my friend. They will all come good putting pressure on  the older guys.

2 out of 3.  Mccrae was a bit of a pipe dream, and had no idea about our late bolter.  Laurie and Bowie are excellent selections (although I thought they would have been selected differently, with Laurie earlier and Bowie sliding to our later pick - but What do I know??).  Happy with what we have achieved over the trade and draft period.  Our result in 2021 will be based on our current list stepping up more than a new kid doing a Rowell for us, so these kids have time.  Like the focus on footy smarts and kicking skills, can only make us better.

I can't believe that 14 hours after Old Dee posted this no-one has responded with the obvious rejoinder:

"Too many Cooks spoil the broth".

There. It's done now.

Well done to both these  posters on getting 2 out of the 3 selections correct.

But there can only be ONE WINNER of the  @WERRIDEEsigned and framed Best 22 plaque (now includes bonus best 22 for Casey, bringing the grand total to a best 44)

The winner is buck_nekkid

Like deebug he chose 2 of the 3 draftees correctly, but got the Laurie pick spot on for our second selection

deebug a very worthy Runner up

Just for you I have change the 44 because Goodwin has it in his mind that McDonald is a forward. So no backline action for him.

Bowey straight into the team in the wing!! That’s “Optimistic or misti-optic” as Dennis Cometti would say !!!  
I think he will have a development year and more likely Laurie will get a game in the seniors mid-late in 2021. But given the glaring gap in our team for a quality wingman opposite Langdon, you might be right.  

[buck_nekkid 5,848]

@WERRIDEE, i like that you took a few big risks at selection for the nekkid memorial team.  Here’s my ‘nearest to the pin’ version:
