Cunning. I like it. But first all must be made aware. Oh, that is if it's ok with old55 anyway...

Yeah I think once everyone is on board we could try a one day time limit, what do you think?

Make your selections in order in the thread so we can make sure they happen in the right order but keep a summary post up near the top with all your selections and players in position so so far - does this make sense?

It is going to take a while but we've got nothing better to do until the pre-season comp starts ...

Yes that makes sense.

To repeat my original post, does anyone want to make this full-scale?

I was thinking something like this. (BigFooty does have a lot of members but we only need 10-12 to kick it off, and I'm not sure how many teams they have.)

I reckon this would be really good, although considering there are 600+ players in the draft, we'd need very active members to kick it off before the season starts.

Anyone? I think it would be fun :)

Old I just realised you are not in the list of 10. I am happy to step aside if you want to have a crack. It was your idea after all!

I'm not opposed to a "last-in, first-out" policy.

Fair is fair.

No worries, thanks - I'm happy to be independent administrator

Full-scale ? Unsure eth38. Might be worth a try though. But for now I reckon we give old's best 18 a crack.

You can always try and start something before the 2011 season if you want.ie in off-season. Sent the master a PM, he might be the only one unaware.

Is a whole 24 hours too long to wait?

Should we make it 12 hours from the last pick and if they miss that deadline they pass and take their pick at the end of the round?

(can you tell I'm getting impatient for my turn..?)

I think Round 1 was always going to take a little while. Thereafter once all are aware it could be quicker if everyone checks in now and then.

And you reckon you have a wait ! :lol:

But I'm looking forward to the set of steak knives.... :)

12 hours is better I agree. Perhaps if they miss then they pick 2 picks at their next turn? If they miss that chance then they forfeit?

Patience kids, after the first round, 24 hours it is, some people only have a certain window each day.

Agree with the idea of 2 picks next round and if they don't show at that pick it's out.

I agree.

Only having a small window is understandable.

Maybe to preserve the integrity of the draft, if they miss the 2 picks then the position is offered up to other posters who aren't participating but wish to assume the role.

We're better off with those that are committed, otherwise everyone will get frustrated.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
