Well if you have last pick at least you can claim last years premiership.

Yes you do need to wait until your turn.
Josh Carr is your project player so this draft is more or less just a bit of fun.
Pick 18 - I'm happy with anything in the first 22.
And much preferable to the random 1st buddy draft. When will this draft be starting?

Anytime, I'm assuming. As soon as Paralowiepower makes his selection we can go from there.

Pick 7 - Michael Wilson
blackdiamond
19 Dec 2003, 13:11
Pick 8 is _espoir's however it doesn't appear that she will be placing her pick.
Due to this we will skip pick 8 and move onto pick 9 for dreamkillers.
If _espoir comes back into the game she can then take her pick 8 at anytime otherwise we will just use that pick last for any newbie that comes along.
Thinking of dreamkillers, has anyone heard from him lately? I know he said he might be away for a while due to the death of his dad, is anyone able to contact him?

He has been keeping a close eye on the board and will start posting again in the New Year.

I would say Kingers but Im guessing his reduced wage would prohibit this.

What makes you think he will last to your pick?

Think he'll last till 28, Porthos? I have pick 18. At home I have 4 buttons with Port players. One is Wangas(taken), one is Lyle(delisted), the others are Francou and Kingsley. I expect Francou to be picked up soon, so what will I do?

I think Porthos might tell you to get a new button and with the amount of time Jabsy is taking you might just have enough time! :D

Being a Jewfish slayer, he will probably go for Dewy. Near enough to Jewy. :D
i think if a person takes longer then 48 hours to take their pick then that pick should be given to the next on the list.... this is ridiculous.. anyone with me?

Its Christmas time, be nice! ;)
I know you are anxious but it doesn't really matter how long this takes, as long as its completed before the season starts.
From what I understand Jabsy is holidaying in Adelaide away from the comfort of the Northern Territory so we have to be fair here.
You will get your turn.
But i want it now :(
lol ok... il wait.

I believe the original concept was allowing for the draft to take as long as it needs. What happens (to your idea) if someone is sick or, god forbid, they lose their geekness for a couple of days and don't access the internet? Do they pick up their pick out of order or miss out completely?
Let the people who are running it run it, and keep your hat on there junior! :)

The real question here is:
Did he manage the impossible and actually catch some fish in SA? :p
Sorry, I've been drunk for the last 2 weeks. Couldn't find the login button...
Considering all the other megastars are taken, I'll have to have Josh Francou.

Thought Francou would go pretty soon. 7 picks to go till I get one so what will be left then? I would have said who but everyone calls the draft a meat market so I thought I might to refer to the players as objects.

He has all the time in the world, as stated previously as long as we have this completed by the start of the season all will be fine.
Getting anxious are we Porthos? I just know how much you would like Kingers but Im not quite sure if one spot leap is going to help you, strangely Mr Kingsley is in hot demand! :D
Yup, Kingers is tempting. I think it's because he looks like a Hobbit.
Nah, I have someone else in mind. Someone not from SA or Victoria.

But remember, Gollum was a Hobbit, too.

:D Actually, my mind was wandering in that direction.... Instead of a ring, -- a gold pass!
And Luke Peel says to Brad Symes, "I think he was something like us once."

The only way we'll catch him at this time of the year is if we put a message on the telly during the Cricket. :)
We must try to achieve Oxdom.

I would really like to open the draft like that but with Eago77 being a long time poster I have some reluctance.
Okay heres the deal:
Eago77 has until the weekend to take his pick, if by Saturday Eago77 hasn't chosen it will then be Ford Fairlane's pick. Eago77 won't go to the back of the line, instead he will be able to use his pick at anytime.
Please come out of hiding Eago77 so we can get this show a moving!

I'm an Eagles fan. Missed the Superbowl again, damn it.
Sorry everyone.
Ive only checked in here a few times in the off season. The reason isnt because it's the off season but rather ive moved out with a few friends (to a place we call the palace, with tennis court, swimming pool, spas and a big bar), so i've had plenty to keep me entertained. My decent computer is here at work and for anyone who knows me well, i dont spend much time here over the summer.
Not sure if i can sneak into the draft now or have to wait until the end.
