    Perfect! Do we set a time limit on picks to be taken otherwise it's a pass?

    Cunning. I like it. But first all must be made aware. Oh, that is if it's ok with old55 anyway...

    Yeah I think once everyone is on board we could try a one day time limit, what do you think?

    Make your selections in order in the thread so we can make sure they happen in the right order but keep a summary post up near the top with all your selections and players in position so so far - does this make sense?

    It is going to take a while but we've got nothing better to do until the pre-season comp starts ...

    Yes that makes sense.

    Sounds like a ridiculous waste of time to me.

    Can't wait!

    Old I just realised you are not in the list of 10. I am happy to step aside if you want to have a crack. It was your idea after all!

  • Quote

    To repeat my original post, does anyone want to make this full-scale?

    I was thinking something like this. (BigFooty does have a lot of members but we only need 10-12 to kick it off, and I'm not sure how many teams they have.)

    I reckon this would be really good, although considering there are 600+ players in the draft, we'd need very active members to kick it off before the season starts.

    Anyone? I think it would be fun :)

    I'm not opposed to a "last-in, first-out" policy.

    Fair is fair.

    Apologies - I thought Sandilands was the first pick, but was just an example (from Old's earlier post) - read the thread now

    Thanks Trengove

    Full-scale ? Unsure eth38. Might be worth a try though. But for now I reckon we give old's best 18 a crack.

    You can always try and start something before the 2011 season if you want.ie in off-season. Sent the master a PM, he might be the only one unaware.

    Is a whole 24 hours too long to wait?

    Should we make it 12 hours from the last pick and if they miss that deadline they pass and take their pick at the end of the round?

    (can you tell I'm getting impatient for my turn..?)

    I think Round 1 was always going to take a little while. Thereafter once all are aware it could be quicker if everyone checks in now and then.

    And you reckon you have a wait ! :lol:

    But I'm looking forward to the set of steak knives.... :)

    12 hours is better I agree. Perhaps if they miss then they pick 2 picks at their next turn? If they miss that chance then they forfeit?

    Patience kids, after the first round, 24 hours it is, some people only have a certain window each day.

    Agree with the idea of 2 picks next round and if they don't show at that pick it's out.

    I agree.

    Only having a small window is understandable.

    Maybe to preserve the integrity of the draft, if they miss the 2 picks then the position is offered up to other posters who aren't participating but wish to assume the role.

    We're better off with those that are committed, otherwise everyone will get frustrated.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
