2011 AFC Drafting Game

[Mad Fan of AFL]

BACCS could you give my responsibilities to someone more deserving? Committments have picked up. Sorry and thanks guys.

are you trying to say you're out?

 

[BACCS]

PM Crows4Flag Riggy, he is online now.

 

[Dirty Bird]

OK, I guess MAD afl fan is out
well, the person who was willing to take them over doesnt want them anymore (reasons - 'I dont want a team with Monfries and Garlett because it would clearly be the shittest')
therefore, I guess the lottery is back on order

fwiw - I sure as hell am hoping I dont have to give up my next pick for Garlett

Whoever gets each player gives up their 6th round pick for the player (yes, even Garlett, sorry whoever gets him

ok, I did this via random number generator
Adam Cooney - roo2macca
Ryan Griffen - axel
Cyril Rioli - dirty bird
Angus Monfries - BACCS
Jeff Garlett - ringo200

those 5 people are forefitting their 6th round picks for these players (sorry ringo )

 

[ringo200]

I say give Crows4flag the side with two picks straight up and Monfries and Garlett back into unselected territory.

 

[Dirty Bird]

you just don't want Garlett?
TBH, I was considering that
I'm also considering, allowing the people who got these people from the redistrubition lottery, to take them, OR let them go and get someone else (I just feel bad for forcing you to take Garlett )

Hey he's better than Monfries at least.

I like the idea of not being forced to pick Garlett though, but you should see if c4f is interested in taking over without those two.

Please do that Riggy, Monfries isn't even on my radar yet, and it seriously stuffs up my next pick. Only Cooney, Griffen and Rioli should be put in the random generator (if you want to go down that path), nobody wants the other two yet. Or, let Crows4Flag pick again.

just sent c4f a pm, saying this is his option
if not, we go ahead with that other option I just brought up

 

[Dirty Bird]

Nah dont worry about it. Just wish id got in at the start. Thanks anyway

Looks like the redistribution lottery is going ahead
Baccs, you dont have to take gus if you want
ringo, you can select someone else other then Garlett
roo2maccas, you can pick someone other then Cooney if you really want to
and so can you axel, with Griffen
I just dont want to put them straight back on the market right now, because it gives the people who have their picks coming up soon too much of an advantage (imagine EaglesFlyingHigh getting BOTH Cooney and Rioli due to the double pick!)

Just take every player 'Madfan' has selected up to this point and place them back into the draft pool and who ever is up next; has their pick. If someone is lucky enought to gain a wquality player at pick 50, so be it. But i would be dirty to get a dud this early in the draft.

So what, that's why a draft is so good. It's about luck and strategy, getting a player via redistribution has no luck and sucks.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I like this, only because I get Cooney. Bartel and Cooney at the feet of Sandilands? *drools*. But all in seriousness, I would be pretty filthy if I was BACCS getting Monfries or ringo getting Garlett, unless of course we stick with the option that you choose whether you want the redistribution pick or not, which I think is fair because I still think that there are still some high quality mids out there that haven't been picked yet.

 

[ringo200]

The fairest way to do it is probably just to leave those players out of the game completely.

I must also agree to leave the players out of the game at least Cooney, Rioli and Griffin

 

[Dirty Bird]

crows4flag doesnt want in
and it's unfair on Cooney, Griffen and Rioli to be neglected while people like Garlett and Monfries are signed up

somebody PLEASE think of their feelings!

 

[rebel]

why cant one of us foster the team to keep the draft moving keep Cooney, Griffin and Rioli and have extra picks now and if somebody a new player wants to take over the team later they can. Unfortuantly i dont belive im online enough to draft for 2 people. Just an idea

 

[cmndstab]

A quick reminder, since a few in here seem to have forgotten - irrespective of the actions (or inaction) of another poster, you do not have the right to abuse them. There is a right way and a wrong way to deal with slow picks in games such as these and several of you have chosen the wrong way. Please do not do so again, or this game will need to be shut down.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Either put 'Mad Fan of AFL' players back into the draft pool and do the fairest thing, not some diluted bullshit where you redistribute them and we will recommence from their or I'm out.

This is crap and its crap not because of Mad Fan of AFL (hasn't helped) but getting players ahead of others in a draft, is utter nonsense.

How can someone get a top 5/10 pick at pick 60 odd in a lottery. If it's going to be a lottery system where you select who you want and others do not control it, lets have it as a lottery. If they want to take that player, they take them, if not, we move on.

Remove Mad Fan of AFL and all his picks and place those players back into the pool or completely remove the 5 players all together.

If not, I'm out as well.

 

[cmndstab]

I'm not involved in this game as such, but in my opinion the obvious choice is to find someone to take over the team, and if nobody is forthcoming in a day or two, to leave those players out. Sure it hurts the integrity of the chosen teams a bit ("Why did nobody choose Rioli?!") but in the end this is about having fun, not for sheep stations. Better that you guys can get on with it and keep selecting rather than trying to worry about who gets the spoils.

 

[Mego Red]

I'll take his team as well - I don't mind managing two teams as I'm on all day.

1) Bingo - common sense prevails.

2) why don't you take Mad Fan Of AFL team?

or

3) just give it to Kristof

and then we get on with it.

 

[Mego Red]

Of course, I'd want the three decent players and make the catchup picks now so we can get the game going again.

Sounds fair to me, you can exchange the 2 dud players automatically if you want, of course, from whatever is left over. And then we can carry on but redistribution of players is shit.

 

[Mego Red]

I just emailed emailed Riggy - but give me Travis Cloke and Troy Chaplin as two replacements, and let's get on with having some laughs.
