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? ;)

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
