Underrated and I still need a FF.

Good backmen are easier to find.

A good key backman? Frawley, Scarlett, Taylor, Hurley and Lake have been picked.

Got a few other options though that might be alright...and another little note I just realised that definitely has to be taken care of

Me too, was tossing up between he and BBBaz, went with Barry because even when he's quiet, at least he's still there.

Yes, definitely a big presence. Just ask Staker who was minding his own business, or relatively speaking.

Important rule clarification I was thinking about overnight ...

It's 17 + 1 but when can you activate the 1?

[a] Must make selections from all 17 teams and in R18 can select from a team already selected

or

Can make the 2nd selection any time.

I don't think anyone has selected 2 from a team yet - please let me know if you have because then it's .

I favour [a] but it's a democracy (at least on this one) and I'll go with the majority.

I assumed applied, but I'm just as happy with [a].

(earlier I did consider taking Mumford although I already have Goodes, but that decision was taken out of my hands a few picks early anyway)

Yeah I'd assumed too but then I thought some might be thinking it's [a] and that would cause angst later.

The more I thought about the more I liked [a] anyway, but I can see the appeal of too, being able to play your "wild-card" at any time.

Let me know ...

Happy with [a].

I don't think anyone will be banking on and it will add an interesting element towards the end.

Although...

No. .

Otherwise it'll be a mad scramble sifting through the bargain bin at the end and people with later picks will be disadvantaged.

With there is still an element of uncertainty for when it should be used.

I'd be first in the last round, so it doesn't worry me. Either way.

I like B/ the wildcard path myself. Adds another interesting dimension.

And I agree with E25 whoever goes last in round 18 using a) would get the dregs of the dregs ....

Your call though old55 as admin ...

I assumed a) as no one had used it.

I favour a) but would not object.

BTW I'm away for the weekend and unlikely to get much internet access.

Are we going through the weekend or should I PM a few picks with back-ups

PM me a list of selections in order and I'll make them for you.

Probably unfair to you to have to PM a few picks with back ups, as you could easily miss out on something.

I think waiting over the weekend is reasonable, personally.

PMing picks is only something that should be done a couple of picks in advance.

Otherwise you're short-changing yourself by not having all the information at hand.

You might assume certain players are gone that could change your strategy.

Having said that, I have a bit of work on today, so I'm going to PM my 2 picks to old55 now.

Old I'm happy either way.

However, if they need to be chosen in position like your first post on the thread that could be difficult.

You just make the executive decision mate

Just to be clear, we agreed earlier that you can move your selections round in the 18 and you don't have to keep them in the initial position nominated.

    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,
