Does anybody think Marcus Picken (delisted by Bulldogs) is worth selecting with our final pick?
He would of course be insurance for the backline in the event of a horror-run with injuries. I beleive we passed on him under father-son rule in 1997, and chose James Wasley instead to give us some run.
From what I have heard we will not use picks 64 and 80 and I highly doubt we would waste pick 35 on Marcus. There is better talent than him in the Pre-season draft also
Well for starters we only have 5 spots left on the list and 6 picks so 80 becomes irrelevent. Then if are are going to take a player from the pre-season draft which from all reports looks very likely we need to pass on pick 64 which would be a very low percentage of picking up a decent kid from there anyway in a shallow draft.
Hang on, I'm not totally sure how it works. But wouldn't Picken enter the Pre-season draft, and not the National Draft (usually the kids draft)? That means we won't use those picks, doesn't it?
If we are to use a pick in the pre-season draft rather than the National we would use picks 17, 32, 35 and 38 and pass on pick 64 which becomes pick 15 in the National draft (effectively around 7 however).
