Old Man Rivers

RIP Big Jim You will be sorely missed - You gave so much to so many Thank you

Bails was very keen on silky skilled stick insects. Surely Lucas Cook will be the last of that model for quite some time. Lets just pray the kid steps up @ some point.

Well given there is No trading Block this season just thought I would put a couple of players out there. OMR's Pre-Season Sale V1 * The Master (Matty Bate) * Jason Winderlich * Phil (The Skipper) Davis Some high quality Depth among these lads - Any Interest?

What are you talking about Brother JCB? Big News about Liam Jurrah breaking. Range Rover must be very nervous his UF 2012 Forward Line is about to collapse Really hope for the kids sake this one plays out OK Cam Pedersen a good get by you JCB - I had him last year & he was gold towards to end of the season. Let me know when you want to trade him

Robbo 24 - Sensational work mate, 8-1 sounds about right for your squad, you will be right amongst it. Very hard to predict how we will all go until round one is done & dusted. But until then I am happy to sit as equal 2nd favourite. I will have to agree to disagree with your view on my defence, I had Harry Taylor & Josh Gibson in the back half of last season. Both performed a little better then lock down specialist's, I hope they repeat there efforts in 2012 JCB I also hope you are right among the contenders, I know you will be leading the way in smack talk Good Luck Lads & bring On Round One

Don't get to excited DL7 I intend to destroy your season nice & early in 2012

Might be able to help you out with Hamish Mac Make me a decent offer & we can see what unfolds

Very Nice squad RPFC Swanny, Sylvia, Sheuy & Jonesy my main mids Mummy in the Ruck Mitch Clark my No.1 Forward & Heath Shaw, Burgoyne, Harry taylor & Josh Gibson holding the backline together. Hoping Team OMR gets away to a flyer.

Pass HT - But thanks for the offer Good Luck tonight

Went a little hard on the amber liquid last night celebrating Silencing The Pies supporters Head is just starting to clear - Should be back up & firing by 7.30pm Thumbs up from me also JA for all your efforts this Pre-Season to date. I am sure its a tough gig at times & you have been all over it & very informative. Now who to take at Pick 4?

JA - I am good with all your suggested Changes for season 2012 3 Sets of brothers now? Wow this is getting confusing! Roll On Sunday evening.

I would be very happy with my 2011 first selection - Pendles If he isn't available I will also be looking at Matthew Bate JCB I head to the USA in the middle of Round one - 27th March - away for 5 Weeks Trade activity will still be active for Team OMR during this time frame.

Strange things happen on draft day. Pendles lasted until Pick 9 last year Goddard went No. 1 & Sandilands No. 2 from memory. Some huge decisions for all of us looming with round one selections. Surely Little Garry will go No.1? B)

Welcome Back JCB - Or should we call you DEVILS IN THE DETAIL? Whats going on there? Thanks for your best wishes for my trip to The States Only 6 sleeps to go until draft day - Getting very pumped for a season shaping Sunday evening!

Honoured to be acknowledged by the reigning UF Premier in 2011 Looking forward to round one also DL7 As the bottom line of your signature states - Bring On 2012

Throw in Marc Murphy , Joel Selwood , Sandilands , Mumford , Stevie J , NDS Decisions , Decisions , Decisions - Very happy to have snagged selection 4

Don't empty that Waste paper Bin to soon RR You know I have the wood on you - Talk tough as much as you like in Feb When the real stuff starts you know the doubts will resurface. Look forward to some early season trading with you Old Foe!

I don't think so RR - We simply can't have both leauge setups, its one or the other However I can recall some worry last season on your behalf about your top of the ladder combo facing the might of OMR late in the season. From memory I smashed you & sent you into a downward tumble that you never recovered from. Take note I won't be such a slow starter in season 2012

Either Norm Smith or Jimmy Stynes is fine with me. You can't have a Keeper Leauge & a Relegation/Promotion concept. It's one or the other. Based on Furious D's post I would be steering clear of heading down that track. Our Leauge had alot of trading / sledging / interaction in 2011 we have a 100% retention rate from last year When your on a good thing - Stick to it

Norm Smith is a great choice however in season 2012 I think we should honour Big Jimmmy. Ultimate Footy - Jim Stynes Leauge gets my vote.

So who is bidding for THE CURSE of selection ONE? Delivered The Wooden Spoon last year if I am remembering correctly!

Excuse my stupidity JA however I have a couple of questions about the lottery If we say place all our bids on Selection 2 & our lucky number does not come up, @ what point would we re-enter the draft? Am I correct in assumming after all selections are taken by live bids & we have worked our way up from the bottom of the ladder? What is the required deadline to submit bids?

You would have to be stiff to play DL7 in round one

OK NO Keeper Leauge in any way shape or form from 2011 - I'm moving on & looking forward to 2013 on that score. Know JA please explain how your Lottery idea for draft order selection will unfold?

KEEPER LEAUGE I had thought originally to keep players from last year for this year but ultimately I feel that disadvantages some teams who might have weaker teams so it is best to start from a clean slate. I still think we should still explore the option of keeping one player each from 2011 Surely this wont disadvantage any teams! The two new teams simply get a priority pick before the 1st round If we are going down this track anyway in 2013 then this One Player ONLY MVP 2011 selection will add an interesting twist to this season. Yes / No / Maybe - Thoughts?
