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?

  • Quote

    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

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
