Hey fellas. Just woke up so will see when assistants respond but I don't expect it soon as a Sunday. That and I'm in phone so will pick shortly when I jump online.

Would be easy if one of Steele or Pickett was still around for me >:(.

Tough choice here.... Split between two guys so will hope my next guy slips to me at my next pick!

Will go with Nakia Cockatoo here. Much to like about him, impressed in the finals whereas was mostly injured for the best part of the year. Has the skills and could fit in well at the Cats once a few of their older guys retire. Should be set to play a few games next year as he has a ready made body for the AFL, if not, happy to let him back up Heeney in the reserves for Iceland!

Looks like I'm up.

Had to think about this one a bit, but I'm not sure this guy will get to my next pick and I want him.  :P

Toby McLean, welcome to the Storm!

Now I can't even be mad.

Also, I have no time to draft this season. I'm moving interstate TOMORROW and starting a new job on Monday. I'm a little bit preoccupied. Otherwise, I'd have spent the past week nerding up and be all over this draft.

Why can't you all love me like I love you...?

This is a good excuse but given how many picks you have in this draft it probably would have been wise to have done some research?

Or not traded in so many picks? You have like 6 in the Top 30.

Think he traded in the picks prior to getting the job in Sydney, so it was something unexpected for him and limited prep to get ready for the move.

Must have known the draft was good if he traded in the picks :P. Think Nos/Rids and I were similar trading in some picks.

This and it would've been very poor coaching to not trade in picks for a really good draft when we needed to rebuild. I had no idea life was about to become so hectic and change suddenly (well, I was hopeful of the job, but not necessarily ready) which is why I got stew on board to help as well. We'll get things moving now that I'm settled. That said, I don't think I'll be online during the working day!

Connor Blakely
Nicely picked.
I took the risk in hoping he'd slide to my next pick :(. Was a tough call between him and Nakia.

Banking on ASADA giving Essendon rookies plenty of playing time...

Kyle Langford

I'll go with my assistant KB here and select Alex Neal-Bullen. Tough inside-mid who has a knack for getting the ball and at Demons so could be a solid pickup as they wanted to bolster their midfield!
