after we give everyone a chance to catch up with whats going on i think that'd be a good idea

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
