Universal Love MFC History Draft poll

Hi all.

[Supermercado]

Can't go past #3 - Congrats darthsidusfan

 

[Headless]

Team 5 by a considerable margin for me.

 

[RandB]

Team 5 certainly potent with legendary names is quite strong.

In the end I went with 7, I simply liked it the most - probably because the backline is asthetically pleasing for a gen x supporter.

Kudos to everyone who participated, great MFC knowledge on display here.

Wight, Lovett, Obst.

 

[RandB]

Wight, Lovett, Obst.

More than respectable.

Whelan Hughes Grinter is magical though and Bizzell did stuff as well.

 

[Cannon82]

Team 2. Can't believe the St Kilda fan hoovered up all the favourites...

 

[Dory_77]

3 and 5 my favourites, probably 5 by a nose. A good way to pass the off-season though; kudos Headless for getting it going, and the Saints guys who we stole the concept off.

 

[jhong]

Team 7 for me , what a collection of thugs (whom could also play a bit as well)

Team 7 would be my favourite, but not the best I reckon.

And screw you guys anyway. #team1

 

[Benwah83]

**** it. I've just spent 10 minutes staring at the squads, and the last few weeks watching you guys pick your teams, and I still can't pick a favourite!

I'll be back in a few days to vote...

 

[ponsdale]

Have to go with Team 2.

Can't believe you blokes are going to let the interloper 12Chill win this thing (based on current voting trends).

You could always vote for Team 4 in order to fix that.

 

[PerfectFooty]

pick between two and four

 

[pjfairbairn]

I actually love Team 4, reckon it's come together very well... Team 7 in 2nd place, with special mention to team 3 for the superb choice of emergencies...

Feel free to vote in the poll.

 

[Headless]

Getting tight at the top! Only one vote in it at this stage.

 

[PerfectFooty]

I see how it is. Well i'll go make my own mfc history thread and make my own team (again) with blackjack and hookers, well forget the blackjack... eh, screw the whole thing.

 

[Cannon82]

Getting tight at the top! Only one vote in it at this stage.

Even tighter at the bottom where myself and Dory_77 are competing with absentee Gysberts2Bate for the spoon, and a warm * you all from the bottom of my heart.

 

[PerfectFooty]

So i suppose me and Supermercado are locked in battle for third at the moment. Voted for Supermercado as well too

I find this surprising; I really like your team.

It's not too bad. Everyone's side is pretty decent though, but I think going for older names doesn't do you many favours. Might be good players, but if you haven't heard of them... still, was a fun exercise, and good on you for getting it together.

Would have been good to get 16 guys drafting though. I don't think we were forced to delve into the murky depths of players as much as we could have.

Agreed. Definitely seems to be a bit of a bias toward more recent players.

We'll aim for sixteen next time!

Watched this thread and enjoyed the concept. Suspect you will get a lot more interest if you chose to do this again . Congrats to all .
