Similar to what I did in S1, but for S2. Won't consider retentions, unless I think the retention is a shocker. 1 Reframe - Brendon Goddard (ESS) 2 Benny - Charlie Dixon (GC) 3 Masters - David Zaharakis (ESS) 4 Jackenny - Tom Hawkins (GEEL) 5 KATA - Michael Johnson (FREM) 6 Harps - Marc Murphy (CARL) 7 Heef - Rory Sloane (ADEL) 8 Jimmy - Josh P. Kennedy (SYD) 9 Hen - Patrick Dangerfield (ADEL) 10 Jabba - Lance Franklin (SYD) 11 Nino - Joel Selwood (GEEL) 12 Diggler - Jobe Watson (ESS) 13 Brett - Scott Pendlebury (COLL) 14 Mousey - Harry Taylor (GEEL) 15 Morgie - Gary Ablett Jr (GC) 16 Theo - Dane Swan (COLL) 17 Paul - Trent Cotchin (RICH) 18 Skip - Nic Naitanui (WCE) Hard to do this round because only 5 of those guys were genuine picks rather than retentions. Best: Hard to say. Johnson is the best of his classification, but he isn't a real KPD so it's hard to give it to him. Goddard a nice pick but it was arguably expected as the #1. Worst: Zaharakis looks bad on paper, but in practice he was taken at the end of the 3rd round so it doesn't look so bad. I think you could possibly find more valuable players than say Murphy, but meh.
19 Reframe - Sam Jacobs (ADEL) 20 Benny - Brett Deledio (RICH) 21 Masters - Paddy Ryder (ESS) 22 Jackenny - Luke Hodge (HAW) 23 KATA - Matthew Leuenberger (BRIS) 24 Harps - Andrew Swallow (NM) 25 Heef - Jack Riewoldt (RICH) 26 Jimmy - Travis Cloke (COLL) 27 Hen - Shaun Burgoyne (HAW) 28 Jabba - Jarryd Roughead (HAW) 29 Nino - Nick Riewoldt (StK) 30 Diggler - Taylor Walker (ADEL) 31 Brett - Drew Petrie (NM) 32 Mousey - Dayne Beams (COLL) 33 Morgie - Matthew Pavlich (FREM) 34 Theo - Kurt Tippett (SYD) 35 Paul - Josh Kennedy (WCE) 36 Skip - Nat Fyfe (FREM) Best: Given the hard on for good KPF's, Pavlich sliding to my pick was a pleasant surprise. Quite like the Sauce pick on this season too. Worst: Burgoyne. Even taking into account retentions there were quite a few better, younger mids still on the board. Hodge feels iffy as a retention too, he's not that good anymore IMO, you can also say the same thing about Swallow given Harps's lack of KPP depth.
37 Reframe - Jack Steven (StK) 38 Benny - Ryan Griffen (WB) 39 Masters - Jon Patton (GWS) 40 Jackenny - Aaron Sandilands (FREM) 41 KATA - Jordan Lewis (HAW) 42 Heef - Dean Cox (WC) 43 Jimmy - Ivan Maric (RICH) 44 Hen - Todd Goldstein (NM) 45 Jabba - Steele Sidebottom (COLL) 46 Nino - Ben McEvoy (HAW) 47 Diggler - Tom Bellchambers (ESS) 48 Brett - Bryce Gibbs (CARL) 49 Mousey - Cyril Rioli (HAW) 50 Morgie - Will Minson (WB) 51 Theo - Hamish Hartlett (PA) 52 Paul - Shane Mumford (GWS) 53 Skip - David Mundy (FREM) 54 Harps - Jack Redden (BRIS) Best: Two really stand out here - Griffen and Goldstein. On 2013 form Griffen should've gone first round, it's only because of fitness issues that he's slid. Goldstein IMO has a better track record than both Leuenberger and Jacobs, he's probably the most valuable ruck along with Naitanui in a game like this. Worst: A few picks I'm not really keen on here. With Patton, I get there's upside, but right now he's still pretty meh - for a 3rd rounder he looks out of place. Lewis kinda feels like a reach for this round, and Redden was pointless for Harps given his midfield already. Also think there were better mids than Hartlett left.
Round 4: 55 Reframe - Alex Rance (RICH) 56 Benny - Dale Thomas - (CARL) 57 Masters - Andrew Walker (CARL) 58 Jackenny - Chris Dawes (MELB) 59 KATA - Kieran Jack (SYD) 60 Harps - Sam Mitchell (HAW) 61 Heef - Pearce Hanley (BRIS) 62 Jimmy - Tom Lonergan (GEEL) 63 Hen - Daniel Talia (ADEL) 64 Jabba - Heritier Lumumba (COLL) 65 Nino - Corey Enright (GEEL) 66 Diggler - Ben Reid (COLL) 67 Brett - Matthew Boyd (WB) 68 Mousey - Matthew Kreuzer (CARL) 69 Morgie - Jack Darling (WCE) 70 Theo - Michael Hurley (ESS) 71 Paul - Chris Mayne (FREO) 72 Skip - Justin Westhoff (PA) Best: Rance or Kreuzer. With Rance, nabbing him in the 4th round is a great move - given the dearth of good KPP's he had a case of going a fair bit earlier, whereas Kreuzer (although his S1 form was notoriously bad) is on par with the other 10-12 or so good rucks IMO. Worst: 2 picks here I'm not really keen on - Thomas and Mayne. Thomas has fallen away big time IMO since his ankle injury, whereas Mayne has really struggled this season - although he does fit the structure of Paul's forward line really well. Dawes seems really early, but it's worth noting the forward depth did drop away pretty significantly so if you did need a KPF there weren't much better left.
