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.

PM me a pick for each day you wont be around and one extra in case your selection gets taken - that will cover the 24 hour rule.

I'm gonna be interstate on business from Sunday night and will have less access next week myself.

Right oh - I'll leave it until a bit later just in case the master kicks us off again

No worries old. If a decision could be made before the next pick that would be helpful for planning going ahead

Fair enough - let's go with you can make your wild card pick at any time

Gives more flexibility.

Just had an idea re a scoring system at the end of the Draft.

Once all 10 teams are fully selected, we're given a day to sort through our 18 players for a final team sheet submission.

Each team manager would then analyze the other nine teams (you can't vote for your own) and then rate them using a 5-4-3-2-1 style voting system and then submit to old55 in a private ballot. Or even a top 9 so all teams receive votes.

It would be a fun way to analyze each side, providing a finite result to the whole exercise.

What do you think?

Nope.

I've focused on building a team, not selecting the best rated players.

I've also chosen based on how I expect them to perform in 2011 & the future, rather than on previous performances.

There's unfortunately no decent way of judging this.

Edit: think I misunderstood.

Thought you meant individual players.

I'm happy with that system. Why not?

Sorry to clarify I meant the team. We would look at each others' teams and rate them based on an assault on the 2011 flag.

Just another fun add-on to be able to analyze and rate...

Edit: I have edited my original post so as to clarify

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
