Folders have got an absolute steal
Nek minnit, passed up for somebody else.
lol yeh. Personally would have taken him at #1

If it's who I think you mean then I already have a certain #1 pick on my list from last year which is why I chose Heeney.

Is there some sort of time frame?

From the rules in the OP: Picks are to be taken in a maximum of 24 hours from the pick before, and in a maximum of 2 hours from coming online at FF.

Wow I was certain that the number 1 draft pick would be gone by now. I was personally looking at Heeney for this pick, but seeing as he is still around, and is set to have a great career at St Kilda, the Folders will be selecting Patrick McCartin.

nice BB, you've certainly done well there.
We're always crying out for Fwds in nearly every XVs comp. And youve grabbed the best key forward of this draft, and by the sounds of it, the best of the next few years as well if reports of a real lack of key fwds in the coming drafts is true. Plus Saints will play him and he'll be learning off one of the best key fwds in the business in Nroo.

Definitely a great pick up. I really thought one of the other guys in the Top 3 would look at him but obviously not.

I decided pretty early on having got Boyd last year that we'd take a mid first given our lack of depth there but McCartin was hard to pass up in this scoring system.

Found this pick tricky as I new who the first 4 would be and there were so many options for pick 5. Have changed my mind many times but eventually settled on a guy I think may become one of the best midfielders from the draft and should fit nicely into Freo's lineup nicely.

Pick 5: Lachie Weller

Seeing we have a bunch of mobile key forwards and a few smalls already in the vein of Dev Smith, Ben Kennedy and Chad Wingard. Some of us don't have all the best midfielders around ::)

But we will be dominating with our forwardline as it is and there are forward steels later on anyway. We took a player that will outscore McCartin his whole career so it really is an odd statement to say the least here

Recon we have a real type here with #6 Liam Duggan

Not an easy choice and a few we could've taken but should as we hope, he can keep backman status we have a ripper ;D

Noz

Massive pick their in Duggan, Future captain of the Eagles.

Really hard one here, but I think this kid will be a standout. Corey Ellis

Have pmd Nige (and sorry)

It's at the point now that the top four are gone, one Im expect to go real soon and the rest as they were calling it at the real draft, very even! Hard not to get a good player, look at the two Essendon stole!

Intiguing to see the chips as they fall now

I'm looking to pick up some great crisps with 15, 16, 18, 26 and 27.

Someone, or two, or three will slip to me :D

Noz

North and Saints stole Durdin and Goddard.

Carlton decided to steal Clem Smith though.
