It'll be interesting to see how trading works, I suspect we'll see some trades involving 4+ players. Nobody will really want to do a straight swap unless they're crying out for somebody in a particular position.

I'd be surprised if many deals went through tbh since we're all drafting a playable starting 22.

I love a good ruck panic.

He may be an object of some derision on this forum, but Murphy in the 90s is a steal.

No doubt he's a good get, but there a few attacking mids around his standard that are still available. The fact that he captains for that poor excuse for a club should've seen him slip to the mid 300's

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Also, everything updated through to my latest pick.

I prefer the one before Hibberd was photoshopped in.

Got to play to your audience.

Nothing wrong with my selection Iwould have thought

Couple of premiership ruck men were available at my selection whilst a couple of very handy young rucks are still on the board

It's more the sudden rash of ruck picks as everyone realises stocks are thinning out. Very common in fantasy footy drafts, particularly if each team needs two.

 

[Shermy]

I might try the school of Geelong and just put a chump in and let the midfield read the opposition one

 

[Zach Package]

goddamn you fod

 

[GUMBLETRON]

goddamn you fod

I was 50/50 (well, 33/33/33) between Murphy, Sidebottom and one other for both of those picks.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Alright, time limits are suspended until January.

I'm off for a few days. I've updated the lists, and will poke my head in occasionally so can still pick if need be, but won't be able to update the lists again until Sunday. So, drafter beware.

 

[MightyDons4]

Zaharakis and Motlop gone damn...

 

[eth-dog]

And there are still a couple left that I like but probably won't be available at my next pick .

Holy crap, unless Shermy takes him my first choice is still there.

I really hope it isn't who I think it might be.

I'll give you a hint, it's a team mate of one of your players .

Oh no.

 

[gillon]

You're going to ruin everything.

 

[eth-dog]

I aim to please.

Killer midfield, too bad your KPP's will consist of Carlisle, Shoenmakers, Casboult and Taberner

Carlile, Reid, Westhoff, Henderson. That's not a bad spine.

 

[boncer34]

Henderson up forward?
