I think we should give the kid a go.
If due to the thin draft this year most clubs will be looking at the state leagues, if this kid fits the bill then lets pick him up.
Can we nominate any pick of ours to use on him in the draft? Or does it need to be a specific round pick?
Answering my own question, if we want him and no other club shows interest our last pick in the draft will be used on him. If another club wants him, they need to nominate what pick they are willing to use, and we would then need to use the pick we have prior to that pick.
Example: If North show interest and bid their 3rd round pick, we then need to use our 3rd round pick on him. If we choose not to, then North's 3rd round pick must be used on him. The club will surely nominate to take him with their pick 109 or whatever it is, let's hope no other club shows interest!
