    I went with Clark - sounds like a tough player with good skills. Would be great if there are a few KPPs picked in the real draft before 9 so hopefully he (or another like him) slides to us.
    Bonar probably would have been my next pick, but I've gone for a safer option in Clark.

      Nick Coffield for me. Excellent defender and can move into midfield roles down the future.

        i agree with Coffield. Of the players to choose from he is the safest bet to be a quality 200 hame player. I reckon top 10 picks need to be used on these types rather than high risk/high return types.

          I’ve gone with Clark.

          I think he’s good inside and out and uses the ball well, albeit a little inconsistently.
          Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

            Naughton for me. Like him as a player and think he is best available at this pick

              Its getting interesting - and you can see we will have plenty of options at 9 to select a very promising kid

                Yep. This vote is clearly the most open so far. On best available, some KPPs might have claim soon on our 'best available' order.

                    Coffield for me - but I am a big fan of Clark.

                      I picked Coffield, Bonar was very tempting though.

                          All of the first 7 picks were 50% or above. Looks like the field is splitting hard now with a three player tie so date.

                            It's a good question. I think Naughton is a more natural defender, from what i have seen of him, he picks his spots well, times his spoils and intercepts well. To me Young was positive but has a way to go to make it as a defender, he got lost in the contest far too often and his ball use cost us plenty in terms of scores against. It's a good comparison but to me Naughton is a better prospect

                              3 way tie. Any last minute votes?
