Competitions 2016 Essendon Board Draft Game - Discussion Thread - **Pick Time Limits Changing, Please Check OP**

I had Sloane stolen from me, Rockliff was my backup.
I feel like I got Hodge really late too.

I think the amount of people is making it seem like they are being taken late. Having a look at the list of players taken, there aren't many that would be swapped with the blokes you guys are thinking its late.

More speculative picks being taken now that this thing is season-long, too.

 

[Mercuri Rising]

Yoda_ are you still playing? Not keen on another 24hr wait tbh.

I think if there's a third consecutive non-pick, we'll have to start skipping over him automatically until I hear otherwise. Still welcome to jump in whenever, of course.

Yoda_, if you're not playing any more, just give me a yell. Otherwise, take your picks when you can, you have three to make at this point.

I believe that if coaches were made to do a draft for teams, much like we have, they'd pick Hodge well before pick 49 which is where I got him.

Your call, I'm just impatient because it's so close to my pick.

He's had notifs for a few days now and posted earlier today, I'd have no issue skipping him.

Sorry guys. Last chance, after formal fair warning. I feel your pain.

Yodes just said on his profile to me, that he's having to pull out for personal reasons.
I am sure we can all understand/respect that

All good.

I agree with Boncer's idea that Goldstein and Beams just become unavailable for the game. Unfair to put them back into the player pool, especially as I just picked my ruckman and would have loved to have snapped up Goldstein [emoji6]

 

[Rack Watts]

Yup, that's the way, I'd say.

Of course. I'll clean up the list.

All good.

Yep, absolutely. Can't think of any fair way to put them back in, so it's all good.

Put them back in after Jobe's pick I reckon.

Could do...give you two picks for the inconvenience?

 

[MightyDons4]

No I wouldn't want an unfair advantage! One Todd Goldtsein will do.

Bloody hell only 2 more picks until Shiel was mine.... absolute steal at 67

Plenty of steals left!

Matt Priddis should not have been available at pick 70... 3rd favourite for brownlow

Priddis struggles to get love.

Not from the umpires.

Top of the rest-of-the-steals list...

 

[eth-dog]

Great signing. Would definitely have taken him.

Here's an idea, take Yoda_ picks? You have 3 players to choose atm and you already have Goldstein and Beams.

Anything to get involved. My mate is trading players, drafts done, looks like amazing fun.

Ok, you have 3 picks to take now and another one coming up soon after Mercuri Rising, happy drafting.
