I'm suprised that wood has been picked up here as he struggled this year. Although to be fair we are starting to get low on talent now so this is probably around the time he should be taken.

I wouldn't say he struggled, he's just developing.
Remember, ruckman take a while to develop.

Woods problem is not ability..its fitness....failed to finish 3km time trial Ist session @ Pies training last year.

Besides that..as a Magpie supporter..if that mega spud Chris Bryan ever takes the field again for the Pies.. I'm gonna puke :P

I dunno rll, if you aren't gtting a game before chris bryan then i'd say you're struggling. He's had quite a few years now but at this stage of drafting he's a good pick up.

Hopefully we could get a preference list from everyone so we can fly through the draft.

Bryan is just more developed. Has more of an AFL ready body. As RB said, Wood just doesn't have the motor to run out a game.

C'mon coaches!
We've all got lives .. I'm sure some of you are watching Harry Potter right now .. but if you know you're not going to be able to get online, just give a preference list to either D2T or DTM.
That way we can fly through the draft.

Scott Welsh at pick 1 surprised me.

Very inconsistent and struggled in the secnd half of last season.

Yeah.

But he can also play key forward as well, which was the deciding factor in taking him for me.

Well 16 hours is up for Leafie, but he hasn't been on since the beginning of this draft.

Thoughts on what we should do? Leafie needs to get more active on the site IMO. His 22 and list still needs updating.

Leafie skipped.

He can take his pick next time he comes online.

All this talk of head jobs, you'd think that Andrew Swallow must have been drafted.

Glad to pick up two very talented youngsters that will add to my team.
Still quite a few talented players that I'm surprised have slipped this far.

Perth Swans, you're up! :)

Is the 16 hour time limit still in place if Leafie fails to pick again?

Should be auto skipped.

Agreed, should be auto-skipped.

If he's then still AWOL by his next pick, sack him & stop the draft until a replacement is found and the 2 picks are taken.
