Bacon Cup Draft 2017

The results of our annual Bacon Cup draft night.

Our annual Draft Day was held on Friday night with 10 of our 12 coaches in attendance at my place. On the deck with plenty of beers and pizza, we had a great night with pretty decent squads being put together.

The Bacon Cup has been running in this form for three seasons and to determine our draft order this year, Luke – the reigning premier – decided to get some rubber duckies and put our names on them… then he send them down a river!

Our league settings include:

  • 3-4-1-3-(4) team structure
  • 12 coaches
  • 6 teams finals fixture
  • snake draft
  • byes off
  • captains off

Here’s how it went down pick-by-pick and a bit of a summary of each team (a few words from me about best and worst picks).

Pick 1 – Poketrain – Coach: Pokey

Best pick: Tom Phillips on the pine. Could end up being an onfield player.
Worst pick: Tom Hickey – is he the first choice for the Saints now?
Possible league winning pick: Having both Lynch’s and not having to worry about which one is the best.

Pick 2 – The Soup Nazis – Coach: Stu

Best pick: Nat Fyfe at 23.
Worst pick: Michael Hibberd, Kade Kolodjashnij and Michael Hurley as defenders.
Possible league winning pick: Brendon Goddard if he potentially picks up DEF status with Zaharakis to fill the MID spot left vacant.

Pick 3 – BEATBOX10 – Coach: Beattie

Best pick: Marc LeCras being available with last onfield pick.
Worst pick: Clutching here, but taking Seb Ross when Matt Crouch was still on the board.
Possible league winning pick: Sam Menegola with the last bench selection – could go 100 and be great trade bait.

Pick 4 – Bearfoot Running – Coach: Luke

Best pick: Toby Nankervis as ruckman with last onfield pick. Could have been a much worse result.
Worst pick: James Kelly leading defence.
Possible league winning pick: Taking four midfielders with first four picks.

Pick 5 – Calvinator – Coach: Calvin

Best pick: Liam Shiels at 116.
Worst pick: Too many old and a lot coming back from injury. Will average 18 games played across the team.
Possible league winning pick: Choosing Nick Riewoldt over Jack Macrae.

Pick 6 – destROY – Coach: Roy

Best pick: DEF is a beat with Heath Shaw, Luke Hodge and Zac Williams.
Worst pick: No bench for DEF or RUC… yet.
Possible league winning pick: Brent Stanton in the fifth round to get DPP.

Pick 7 – Warne Dawgs – Coach: Warnie

Best pick: Taylor Adams getting to pick 7.
Worst pick: Bernie Vince too early.
Possible league winning pick: Scott Lycett, who will be the No.1 man, in the eighth round with Matthew Leuenberger holding down the fort until he returns if he misses the first part of the season.

Pick 8 – Merv Gray Autos – Coach: Chook

Best pick: David Mundy at 128 is a steal if he gets back to 2015 form.
Worst pick: Harley Bennell – only because Chook took him last year as well.
Possible league winning pick: Jordan Lewis and Sam Mitchell proving Clarko wrong.

Pick 9 – A Point For Trying – Coach: Chopper

Best pick: Matthew Kreuzer as the ruckman after all onfield picks taken. Smart.
Worst pick: Toby Greene in the third round.
Possible league winning pick: Not selecting any MIDs until the eighth round.

Pick 10 – Scottie doesn’t know – Coach: Scottie

Best pick: Dylan Shiel in the seventh round.
Worst pick: Getting Stefan Martin in the first round – even if Scottie is a Lions supporter.
Possible league winning pick: Touk Miller and Jack Steele as breakout contenders in forward line… could score enough to cover for Jack Watts!

Pick 11 – The Manzacs – Coach: Brett

Best pick: Matt Crouch at pick 107.
Worst pick: Only taking one defender in the first 11 picks (could be a genius move yet with Wellingham in 14th round).
Possible league winning pick: Tom Boyd as trade bait if he gets some ruck minutes early in the season… or at least cover for when Mumford misses half the season as he tends to do.

Pick 12 – Thorpeado Punts – Coach: Thorpy

Best pick: Michael Barlow at pick 60. Could go huge.
Worst pick: Elliot Yeo. Stinky, even if on bench. Oh and Bundy Christensen would have stayed as a Free Agent.
Possible league winning pick: Making the most of the turnaround picks with Merrett and Docherty plus Zorko and Johannisen as first two MIDs and DEFs.

Who nailed the Bacon Cup draft the best (pick 3 teams)?
