    WDRT - Pick 6 - AFL DRAFT

    Sunday 12th November:

    Pick 1 - LDU (Obtained 50% of WDRT vote of the poll of 5 options)
    Pick 2 - Rayner (Obtained 64% of WDRT vote of the poll of 5 options)
    Pick 3 - Dow (Obtained 71% of WDRT vote on the poll of 5 options)
    Pick 4 - Stephenson (Obtained 82% of WDRT vote on the poll of 5 options)
    Pick 5 - Brayshaw (Obtained 50% of WDRT vote on the poll of 5 options)
    Pick 6 -

    Now for pick 6 today. You can use the poll, or post information to persuade others why your pick 6 player should be the selection. This is for the best available player, leaving the club's actual order/picks out of the process. If your previous nomination missed out, you can renominates them if you wish.

    I had Cerra last pick, so I'm locked into him again. At pick 6, that's a pretty good get I think.

      Fogarty time now I think. The could be the best player in the draft or could flop selection
      If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

        Fogarty for me. I agree with Boydogs that he has the potential to either flop or fly and that might make some teams nervous. Could go anywhere from picks 3 to 10.

          Cerra at this pick for me. Best available

            I've gone with Fogarty.

            While I rate Cerra very highly too, the upside to Fogarty gets him over the line.
            Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

              Wow, Brayshaw at 5! Third time lucky in selecting Fogarty...

                That's what I've been trying to say. He's boom/bust. I'd like to take a chance.

                Maybe I see him as a bit of a Stringer replacement?
                They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                  Any last minute votes? I can see the non selection from this pick slipping further with KPPs soon to be around this point of the top 10.

                    I must say I am surprised not many participating in these threads. I am finding it interesting and will be great to do a final comparison between WOOF and the actual draft. Thanks for organising BT.

                    Will be interesting also to see who we end up with.

                      I think there are a lot of us who base our predictions on what we hear/read from those with more knowledge...i don't feel that I have the knowledge base to actually be involved in the picking process.

                        Hopefully there's something interesting at the end of this, after draft night even moreso. I've found it interesting so far that KPPs aren't even in with a chance for the top 6 so far by those participating as an overall group.

                        I wonder if the top 6 are clearly mids, or are we projecting some of our wants/desires in our selections?

                          Jump in Jazza and Co. It's more of an art, than a science these threads. Hopefully it's not a double blind peer reviewed draft order.

                          I've watched less TAC footy live this year, but I've watched videos, highlights and read a few views and go with an educated guess. Particularly moving to pick 9, it'd be great to hear more from posters about who is the 'best available' and why in their perspective.

                            Cal Twomey has Brander & Naughton at 11 & 12

                            If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

                              A complete lack of knowledge hasn't stopped me. We live in a world of fake news where experts are derided by nong heads for daring to express an informed opinion that doesn't fit their prejudices. Complete ignorance is the new black.
