Pickett vs

This is my 5,000th post and hopefully swansong, as I try to ween myself off my dependency on this wonderful site and all you crazy friends and strangers.

As a break-out from another thread, let's have an old-school school-yard pick-for-pick to see who can draft the best team. Change thread title as applicable. 

One of my all-time favourite posters in@picket fence is in. I propose three more challengers, and the cockier and more prominent the better. 

I think 25 picks each, including three emergencies, with one later chosen as sub in the final teams. That works out to the top 100 players in the league.

Put your hand up if you want to challenge Picket. It might need a poll of its own, or could just default to seniority based on post-count. 

The rules are as follows; draft order is determined by coin-flip. Two semis (1 v 4 and 2 v3 in order of who comes on board first), a final, and a run-off.

Each participant then gets to choose current AFL-listed players in order. Picks can be traded or swapped at any time throughout the process.

That is, before or during the selection phase. But all pick trades have to be offered publicly. Other posters can comment, and give their worldly advice. 

Then, once all the players are selected, arrange them into a team-sheet, and we can set up another poll and argue about who selected the best team

Until February.

    Adonski signed up! One more. 

    I have the feeling that you were the one @adonski who got me geared up for Laurie last year? Someone promoted him, and then I got fixated, and was over the moon when he came to us. Still huge hopes. And now that repeats with Goater. If so, I really respect your eye for talent. 

    So it's @picket fencevs @WERRIDEEvs @adonskivs one more . . .

    @Whispering_Jack: the thread title referred to Picket Fence, not Kasaiah. 

    Once we get another volunteer, I'll flip the coins, and then you can all pick your teams.

    @dazzledavey36would be great. Uncle Bitter can't be trusted to take the process seriously, or around much else to be honest, but I would love to see one of our students of the game put their hand up, maybe @binman, @A F, or @Axis of Bob- just to balance out the personalities.

    A fairer way to do the draft is 1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1 1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1 etc

    I got impatient and flipped the coins.

    WERRIDEE has the number one selection, followed by Picket, someone else, and adonski. I will adopt Old55’s suggestion for a more equitable draft system.

    WERRIDEE 1, 8, 9, 16, 17, 24, 25, 32, 33, 40, 41, 48, 49,

    Pickett 2, 7, 10, 15, 18, 23, 26, 31, 34, 39, 42, 47, 50

    ? 3, 6, 11, 14, 19, 22, 27, 30, 35, 38, 43, 46, 51,

    adonski 4, 5, 12, 13, 20, 21, 28, 29, 36, 37, 44, 45, 52,

    I won’t write out all the picks, but follow that system. Trading of picks as to drafting strategy is highly encouraged, but it has to be in the public forum. You can come up with your own team names if you want. One more recruit and we’re underway. Remember, team balance is important. We'll vote on the end results.

    I don't watch enough football nowadays to compete, but I'll step in for now (as ?) until someone wants to take over my hand. First gambit: @picket fence, would you take 6 and 11 for pick 2?

    Is it open now? I pick Max Gawn

    Yeah Max Gawn is my no 1.

    Max Gawn is the first player selected in the super-team draft. He goes to WERRiDEE.

    Sweet. We'll probably have to keep track of these trades ourselves rather than update the list every time. But for now, 

    WERRIDEE 1, 8, 9, 16, 17, 24, 25, 32, 33, 40, 41, 48, 49,

    Pickett 2, 7, 10, 15, 18, 23, 26, 31, 34, 39, 42, 47, 50

    Skuit 3, 5, 6, 19, 22, 27, 30, 35, 38, 43, 46, 51,

    adonski 4, 11, 12, 13, 14, 20, 21, 28, 29, 36, 37, 44, 45, 52,

    Done 

    According to the draft pick calculator,  adonski picked up the equivalent of pick 31 in this deal, or the likes of Bayley Fritsch. Who won? Who knows. Probably impossible to tell until all the hands play out.

    Pick 2 in the super-draft, as expected, is Clarry to Picket Fence. Pick 3 is Petracca to Skuit.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
