Card rankings, suits, trumps are all too confusing. Best stick with alphabetical order, easier to follow

We may as well get this started now with the 21 who have confirmed their interest.
Given the numbers we have, we'll look at giving people the opportunity to double up and buddy with two (or more) players this year.
Everyone will be given the opportunity to partner with more than one, but whether you decide to do that is up to you. If you decline we'll look to others to fill in and perhaps even take on a third.
For anyone who would still like to participate, you are more than welcome to do so. All you need to do is register your interest in this thread and we'll fit you in as we go along - either at the end of the first round (if you sign up mid-round) or somewhere during the second round.
To determine the draft order I'll be using a random number generator. Here are the results (which I'll also post in the OP):
1. ShanDog
2. Wickzki
3. AceAndy
4. bluedabadee
5. Funk
6. GordonBlue
7. Hussey14
8. MEB_
9. Blue and Silver
10. ferrisb
11. Bluella
12. Blue__Balls
13. Soapy V
14. Jabba73
15. HARKER
16. Cringle
17. Jeremias
18. Styxx
19. Bobcat_66
20. Jatz
21. HalAric
To start off with I won't set a time limit on selections, but I do ask that we be considerate and get through the drafting as efficiently as possible. Things aren't as fun if we're left waiting for lengthy periods of time. If we find we're waiting for lengthy periods each selection, I'll implement a time limit.
If you know you are going to be away from your computer for a while, please make sure you plan in advance by sending a PM to either a moderator or someone who has already picked above you. Give them a list of your preferred selections - don't just give one name if you are more than one selection away.
Once you have made your selection, please tag the next user into your post to alert them that it is their selection. To do so simply type @ followed by the users name.
With that out of the way, it is time to get started. First up - ShanDog

Good question - I missed that post.
Hopefully he does participate (I'd imagine pick 1 is a significant incentive!) but if not we'll just skip him and move on. I'm sure he'll let us know shortly.

Is there any chance of running a tally (in the OP?) of selected players?
Perhaps have the team listed by jumper number, with 'strikethrough' for those already selected.
Would be an easy way of keeping track who is gone/available. Towards the end of the second round, probably only need a list of who is left...
Not sure if it's feasible to keep it up to date, but would certainly make things easier (lazier)...

I'll just pick guys who are likely to play seniors each week. If round 2 comes around and none are left I'll pass so training watchers can pick.

Gotta choose Blaine Boekhorst if he's available!
If not, try and package him up with your 2nd pick to swap with Hussey14's pick....

Thoughts on reversing the order in the second round? Won't effect those in the middle too much, but means the folks who drew late picks get an earlier second pick, while those who lucked out on getting their first preferences take a hit with their second picks?
i've only got one buddy. buddy.

Lucky you're from Canberra, rendering your opinion irrelevantAgree totally with bluedabadee
Think the reverse order has a lot of merit!
We'll still be going with the first round by finals at this rate [emoji14]

Probably should put Wick on a countdown.
He either drops to last pick or Liam Jones. According to some I may have listed the same thing twice.

Be careful - I hear Wick has a short fuse
