Best 18

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.

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

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
