I'm gonna pull out boys! Enjoy

Can we change the lockout to the First Saturday game of the round? Or Rolling lockout?

The current settings make it very hard to pick a team, especially with the Thursday night games 

Happy with whatever the consensus may be and am also also happy to just make it easy and use DT scoring but i see the appeal in the category based scoring

OK just checked, we have 9 Teams sitting in the comp currently.

I can't see Scarlett or Melissa? 

Robbo 24 is Snomed definitely joining? With these 3 we would have 12 & a full comp.

Demon King V 2 are you in? If so under what team name?

Once we have the numbers we can get on with finalising the scoring catergories then onto Draft night on Sunday 19th March......

Snomed is in - Going by his diet, I assume he's 'Baconators'

Why would anyone leave out Gawn?   Ok, in the last few weeks he had quieter games than we are used to in 2016.  6 year players don't need 'resting'. 

And as Roos said the coaches have emphasised to Max that he only need to meet their expectations (which coaches are very happy with) rather than external expectations.  Max can't be among the vote getters every week but that doesn't mean he isn't doing his job!  And maybe he is trying to do too much to be among 'the best ruckman in the league'. 

Play him for less minutes and let Pedersen and Watts pick up the time.  Max can rest forward.  But please, unless he is injured Max should play.

 

I don't think anyone is calling for Gawn to be dropped on form or is even questioning if he is the #1 ruck. 

It does make sense to give him a rest this week as he doesn't look to have recovered from the Bulldogs game, he looked very tired on Sunday and with a 6 day break and travel to Alice Springs against Jackson Trengove, it might not be the worst time to rest the big fella

Far out. Our standards are higher now aren't they? He contributed very little, our defence was a mess, we lost, Michie had 0 tackles and 2 contested possessions.

 

You can go off stats or you can go by what his perceived role is. Watching the game it was obvious that Hunt and Wagner were running forward offensively at stoppages and Michie was filling a hole in general play. He wasn't playing as an inside midfielder who will rack up high tackle counts. He got a game this week which says to me that he did what he was asked to by the coaches

I agree with Clint. Michie took 5 intercept marks and played his role in the zone defence perfectly. For some perspective, the next best was 2... this is pretty impressive.

He didn't lay many tackles but his role was to hang a kick behind the play so he was never going to be involved in many tackles/hard balls etc.

Michie had 1 poor kick that I can recall but was pretty faultless besides this.

He'd want to play better than he did in the  NAB

While i dont doubt Carey would have trained hard in the wet but 8 hours straight? Spare me seriously.. the guy is known to talk [censored] and this is one of them.

Carey was the best player ever for a reason. I wouldn't doubt him

Guys I'm out. I'm in another comp with mates which is already consuming far to much of my time!

Except for the bitching and moaning by some, I've had a great time playing this and enjoyed running it last year.

Next week I reckon.

He is quite possibly the worst player to every play our great game.

At his size he should tear the ruck apart but he is scared of his own shadow and is a waste of a spot on any list.

Why don't we offer to pay an extra $100-200,000 of Howe's wage on top of GC's offer if he goes to GC? If we replace him with a kid, we won't be using more salary cap space anyway.

A bit out there but why not?

You stole this idea off my Twitter!

We have Salem in that quarterback type role. If we're after a half back I'd want one with extreme pace who can break the lines.

Was one of the highest touted players to ever come through the junior program. Highly skilled, 'untouchable' but struggled to make the step up. Looked pretty good down back for GWS but Heath Shaw, Zac Williams and Nathan Wilson have overtaken him.

I would actually love seeing Hampton on the opposite wing to Stretch.

I quite like him. Big size, can play either end of the ground and can also pinch hit in the ruck.

Had a long term toe injury, just like Frost this year which put him down the pecking order a bit. They rushed him into the side but didn't quite seem fit enough.

Just give me high possession midfielders. Players who will get it 30 times a game. Similar to how Bulldogs have drafted.

I notice Lachlan Tardrew has been in the best the most out of any TAC player this year and he has some mean stats http://www.foxsportspulse.com/team_info.cgi?action=PSTATS&pID=197829371&client=1-3020-111702-339771-20320286

Does anyone know anything about him?

I'd taken Redden in a heart beat. I love his toughness around the contest.

Contrary to what people think about Toumpas, he has AFL currency and the Lions would jump at a straight swap. We should try and arrange something along these lines.

Great VFL player, ordinary AFL player. Dodgy kick and too small

Bloke is a jet! I was hoping we'd draft him but we took Tynan 1 pick before.

He's a ball magnet, hard as a cats head and has decent skills. There's too many similar types at Hawthorn and would be a walk up start with us IMO.

Two knee reco's is admittedly a worry

Content with my efforts. Although i think I am forfeiting the goal scoring category every week.

Plus others above who are dual position

I may have to be aggressive and trade in a KPF

Yup, we'are all set. 6 hours and 13 minutes to go! Due to footy training I may miss my first 1 or 2 picks so hopefully it all runs smoothly!

We have 16 teams! Final draft order now available at http://ultimate-footy.theage.com.au/250562/draft_results

I'd like to see Grimes tried as a tagger. His foot skills are a liability coming of out defense and he doesn't have a point of difference that will make him a damaging midfielder. What he does have is a work ethic and discipline which could take him a long way. Play him on Prestia in round 1 and see how he goes.
