All rookies?

What about an "above 60 pick team"? Put in Hird and Bruce for starters.

All started on the rookie list.

We have a winner. ;)

The only problem was having to fashion a make shift full forward, but gee I'd kill for that backline.

Excellent!!

So Graz, why are we wasting our time with these useless high picks this year then? ;)

Couldn't you sneak in Russell Robertson? I think he was rookied at one stage.

It's got me beat... apparently pick 14 is useless. :lol:

Sorry Maurie... didn't qualify... We originally used a fourth round pick and my criteria are set in stone. :D

Graz - i made up a similar team a few weeks ago. Looks like I missed a few good players.

B: Carroll Rutten Bassett

HB: Kenelly Michael Lockyer

C: C. Fletcher J. McDonald M. Johnson

HF: Rioli Robertson Pearce

FF: Davey Q. Lynch Milne

Ruck: Cox Kirk Sewell

Int: Sandilands Lovett-Murray Rooke Bock

Sorry I missed that one... didn't mean to steal your thunder.... looks like I might've missed some as well Kirk and Kenneally - geez I reckon I'd be able to slot them in. I didn't include Bassett or Michael, because ... well just because.

Here is my team

Kane Munro, Michael J. Clark, Marcus Pickett

Steven Greene, Blake Campbell, Allen Murray

Jeremy Humm, Rod Crowe, Tom Davidson

Ben Finnin, Simon Cox, Josh Houlihan

Darren Walsh, Brad Murphy, Scott Bassett

Tim Fleming, Bill Nicholls, Greg Edgcumbe, Josh Thewlis

See what they have in common...they are all crap and went after 25. The reality is that after 20 or so its really about the quality of the recruiters. Collingwood have been able to capitalise over the last few years as has geelong. Sure there are some good players after 25 but they are harder to find. We can't tell yet how good Bailey and the recruitment boys are at spotting hidden talent. So until then lets just be happy with our top 3 picks and hope they don't stuff them up!

Much better than the Meesen thread

No thunder stolen. I actually meant i wrote it elsewhere, not on demonland

Hang on while I make a team of Top 10 picks that were crap ... Sampi, Molan, Walsh, Bradley, Tenace, Chris Egan in recent drafts just for starters. What point exactly are you making with these teams?

The chances of a good pick are never 100%, even for pick 1 (we might get a dud for pick 14). They are probably something like 95% for pick 1, 90% for top 5, 75% for first round, 60% for second round, 50% for third round and <40% for fourth round and later.

So the chances diminish the further down the picks you go, until the fourth round is nearly all speculative. That's the luck of the process ... educated guessing. Until you realise that, logic goes out the window when trying to make any sense at all of good or failed picks.

Notice a common thread amongst these top ten picks.

4 Mark Bolton, 6 James Walker, 7 Kris Massie

10 Shane O'Bree, 4 Ryan Fitzgerald, 5 Michael Stevens

6 Murray Vance, 10 Brandon Hill, 3 Aaron Fiora

5 Leigh Brown, 6 Damian Cupido, 7 Danny Roach

9 Caydn Beetham, 4 Luke Livingston, 5 Andrew McDougall

6 Dylan Smith, 7 Laurence Angwin, 10 Jordan McMahon

6 Ashley Sampi, 9 Luke Molan, 10 Sam Power, 4 Tim Walsh,8 Luke Brennan, 4 Farren Ray, 6 Kepler Bradley, 7 Kane Tenace, 9 David Trotter

Damn i wish we got rid of pick 4 :blink:

damn u.

Well that's just completely wrong - Craig Cameron is reponsible for recruiting and he's been there for quite a while and has a track record we can judge ...

The following players were drafted (or traded) onto our current list after pick 25:

B: Whelan Carroll Warnock

HB: CJ Rivers Ferguson

C: Buckley McDonald Bode

HF: Garland Miller Davey

F: Robertson Newton PJ

R: Jamar Bruce Bartram

I: Meesen Hughes Weetra

Enough said!

And don't forget that Mitchell played VFL before becoming the clearance machine he is now.

Brent Prismall was drafted (number 32 overall) in the 2004 National Draft.

My bad, It was the next player on the Geelong list Max Rooke that was the Rookie draft. Doesn't matter though. I'd have to put in Kirk for him... not a bad replacement. The point being there are a lot of very, very good players available every year in the second and third rounds of the draft, to say that it's a thin draft and we won't get anything good after the first round is just plain stupid. There always is, and as pointed out it comes back to the quality of your recruiting staff. If Anyone's up for the challenge, see if you can't construct your best team of first round draftees compared to second and third round draftees. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
