Best 18

[Range Rover 1,935]

Yeah, thanks mate. It's really great when everyone may has forgotten about someone and you interfere.

Awesome. Bartel is still available too! Wanna point that out?

I mean, I have a list of players I'm aiming to get, maybe I should just post it on here?

No need E25 ... you stole my thunder with Kennedy and Pendles. Reckon your list looks a lot like mine!

I don't know if this is legal, but anyway...

Corey Enright anyone?

Easier said than done when you have one pick per round. A-hem and it is one player per team + one other. There will be good players still available after pick 100...

Misdirection...

[old55 23,687]

Misdirection...

In the real draft there's 1000s of registered players and it is possible to "hide" someone. So yeah loose lipe could sink ships.

In this draft there's around 700 players with exposed and documented form. You're looking at the top 10 players at each club plus a couple - I don't think the peanut gallery is really gonna come up with a "smokey". I think strategy is more important than specifically who you pick.

No, but filling posters with confidence that a player they rate will be there later, means others can swoop.

Or alternetively, you could be able to manipulate the strategy of the weak-minded.

There are all sorts of little mind games to play.

Waiting on the master again...

[Range Rover 1,935]

Waiting on the master again...

I'm the pick after him and want to drop my card and head out!

[e25 5]

The chances of the selection being the same aren't that great.

If you really wanted, you could PM your selection to someone and if the players gets taken by Master, you just make the choice later.

[Range Rover 1,935]

Okay will PM to you now if that's okay.

[e25 5]

Go for it.

Go for it.

You inbox won't accept messages it says. Have sent to High Tower. Cheers ...

[e25 5]

Strange.

All good, HT is a good egg.

[H_T 3,049]

You inbox won't accept messages it says. Have sent to High Tower. Cheers ...

Got it. Yeah E25 - empty your inbox ! You tell him RRR...haha.

edit:

Damn...good selection RRR. The Master has I reckon a 20% chance of selecting this bloke.

Do you want me to Pm you old55 - RRR's selection...might save time ?

Edited December 2, 2010 by High Tower

[old55 23,687]

Okay will PM to you now if that's okay.

Maybe PM me as administrator ...

[e25 5]

That's what I had in mind.

How the hell did I get 50 messages in that inbox?

Had no idea.

It's probably a good thing though, cos it means I don't get warning messages from mods!

Thanks, fingers crossed Master isn't on the same wavelength.

Have sent to old55 as well.

back later.

Ok. I think that if this situation happens again for anyone just 'PM' old55. That said, we probably don't want it happening so much that old55's inbox is overflowing....besides it should only happen if you're the next selection (all being reasonable) and you've got a committment, etc. So it doesn't get messy (increase in difficulty and confusion).

[old55 23,687]

From Roger

2 questions for the adjudicator:

1) Are we putting a team together for just 2011 or the next 3 years. Ie. do we rule out the senior citizens of the comp?

In the original I said 3 years but let's just go for 2011 so senior players like Simon Black are in play.

2) Can you move your players around in your team or are they fixed into the line (HB, HF etc) you select them in. Eg If you selected Goodes, could you put him at CHF then FF depending on who you drafted later in proceedings.

Yeah you can move them around as you go

[H_T 3,049]

Good questions Roger. I think I can see where you are leading to and you have a pick before my next pick. Hmmm.

[e25 5]

No, there was no condition that a player is stuck in a position.

You can't change that now.

I saw Simon Black as too old and didn't even consider him out of the list of 6 selections I have for Brisbane, but I think it's fair to consider it as a team for 2011. I still think he is on his last legs.

He's still quality though (eventhough a little diminished). He would be in my top 6 for Brisbane.

[e25 5]

I'd consider him depending on what spots I need to fill later, but not this early.

Thing is, it's all subjective and there's no way of qualifying it later once we are done.

We all just sit back and admire the teams we've each constructed.

Correct re: subjective. Btw he's already been picked by ox_5. So it is subjective. And because it's 1 from each club the rein might be pulled earlier considering the make-up of each particular team (within the AFL that is).

Yeah, was surprised when I saw ox_5 reach for Black, but at the same time, I'm not awed by the talent available at Brisbane.

I didn't consider Brown either, for the same reasons.

I guess, I see this as being like GC17 - I'm building a team to compete from Round 1 2011, but with the future in mind.
