JACKATTACK

You're in a similar boat with most people with the rookie keepers. Apart from my man fyfe, there isn't a heap of quality there. While Old, cox is still the best ruck, and with score weighted at 4, Pav becomes even more important than his ranking of 12 suggests. Now 7UP your turn.

on the site, under pre-season tab you can see your team and nominate your 4 (2&2) keepers.

couldn't snaffle Gary. You take Deevoted's team. After picking number 4. But you won't be complaining. Dean Cox headlining, with Pavlich as possible number 2... Welcome to you Stinga and your Muppets. Good to have you.

Got you right where I want you DL7.

You can give me all the demon smileys in the world, i'm not telling you. 1,2,3 or 4? could shape your season.

If i told you that it would defeat the purpose of making you pick.

Stinga/7up. After you log in I will have to assign you each a team from last year. All current coaches are able to carry over 4 players from last year (keepers), and as you don't have a team from last year I will give you one of the outgoing ones. The trick is, which team do I give you. There are 4 teams to choose from (we've reduced the league from 18 to 16), and they vary somewhat in their qualty. For example one has Gary Ablett.The problem here is that I think i'm in line for pick 1 (or thereabouts). So I could be a dog here and just give you a different team, thereby leaving Gary to don the Jackattack colours. I think the only fair thing would be that I randomise it. You pick a number from 1 to 4, and you get the team I assign to that number. the teams will be in no particular order. As a check I will PM the team names and numbers to an existing coach (DL7) whom I believe can be trusted by everyone else here enough that there will be no claims of embezlement. So, all you have to do is: 1 log in to the site 2 pick a number from 1 to 4 3 After I assign your team, go to the site and nominate your keepers. Then we're ready to draft. PS I wouldn't worry too much there is some very good players in all 4 of those teams. Also when you eventually pick your players: 2 of them are unrestricted keepers. The other 2 must be 'rookie keepers'. These are players whose birthday is in 1991 or later.

ATTENTION STINGA and 7UP I have PMd you but no response. Log in as soon as you can, once we're settled we can push on with everything else. If you are no longer interested please let me know. If I don't hear anything by wednesday I will have to bypass you and move to the next interested person.

DRAFT DAY CHANGED Now to be held on Monday 18th March @ 7:00pm. Apologies for those who have more important things to do (as if there is anything that is more important). You can never please everyone.

Stinga and 7-up make the cut. League ID 321216 Password DNALNOMED Log into the site and join the league. I will distribute your keeper teams (from last year's teams) when I get a chance. Apologies for not providing more detail, work is a pain at the moment.

Hard part is done JCB. Now select your keepers: Under the 'preseason' draft tab, here is an option called 'nominate keepers'. From here you can see your team from last year. Pick any two you like, plus any two rookies (born in 1991 or later)

Deeflog, jcb and eth still not logged in. Cutoff is tomorrow, I'll make a bit of an allowance for JCB because I know he's trying to log in. But I have to make a call on Eth/Deeflog tomorrow so unless I hear something I'll be giving positions over to the next couple in line.

Hollywood is last year's premier; Watt's Cook'n. Demonland name: Jurrahcain. He's not a prolific poster on demonland, but he reads it regularly. Also i'm placing a ban on him naming himself after Melbourne players.

Definitely 60 seconds for each pick year 1 was painful.

I think MOnday 18th is winning for me. Slow drafts do not work, and I can't configure it like you have said here robbo. ANy complaints about Monday? It is impossible to get everyone at once, this might have to do. 7:00pm is my preferred time, but happy to be guided.

I'm thinking the 3rd of march. But it could be mid week if we wanted it.

Where's JCB? Still no luck logging in?

I will have to move it, turns out I'm in NZ for a conference that weekend.

We have some colourful types in this league.

JCB, I replied to your PM. Let me know when you're logged in and have joined the league.

It's looking less and less likely that eh and jcb will turn up. Deeflog also not responding to invite. 1 more week stinga and you're in.

Keepers to be locked in a week before the draft. Score will be as RR noted in his last post on the subject. The one that adds up to 19

So the site is now allowing me to enter everyone's keepers, but every new person who logs in will reset all my entries. So the sooner everyone logs in the sooner we'll be able to see who is available to draft from the players tab.

I don't mind that.

Also wondering if i should be keeping Jobe & Ryder given what's going on at the dons.
