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

[Jobe is King]

Anyone mind if I take my pick now to keep the game moving (Jobe Is King hasn't logged on since the 13th of March).

Soz for the hold up fellas, been outta the country

 

[Mercuri Rising]

So here's a question. Once we have our squads, do we need to set up our 22 as if they were to run out on the weekend (so taking injuries into account) or just leave it as best 22?

Week-to-week, it really doesn't matter. Pretty much sit tight and trade/draft til the end of the season.

Righto

 

[Mercuri Rising]

Righto

I mean, by all means keep moving the magnets around, I probably will. But there's probably no point trying to get everyone to update every week just to keep tabs on how each team's going.

No problem, hope you had a good trip.

Bloody ripper. Gotta catch up on the all EFC goss now. Has there been any hats spotted on the training track?

Cool. I'll fix my team later on to at least reflect long term injuries.

 

[BomberTime]

With only a couple of picks to go, can't we just pick our final players now and the others can pick when they log on?

Just a thought.

 

[monty1104]

I'd agree with that. It's unlikely we will be selecting the same players now anyway.

Maybe just set a time limit and once that time comes up, it's a free for all. First in best dressed.

 

[MightyDons4]

Everyone takes a pick every two hours? Gets it done and dusted today, don't think any game changers will be selected at pick 400.

Sure. Say free-for-all at 6pm tonight? All good?

In the meantime, Kakkle, Romm, and eth-dog given that Romm is incommunicado.

So how many do I need?

 

[Mercuri Rising]

So how many do I need?

Just the one for now (Kakkle's over time and Room hasn't been around for a week). Then at 6, as many more as you need to fill out the team.

We're drafting 30, correct? Okay.

 

[Rack Watts]

Why not just 22? rofl

 

[monty1104]

Because if it was 22, I'd be screwed, stuck with an injured Roughead not playing for half the season.

 

[Mercuri Rising]

Why not just 22? rofl

In hindsight, why indeed

List updated for the final time before 6pm bedlam. I say at this point, **** the PSD and just let anyone with an LTI replace their player, and let us never speak of this again until the mid-season draft. No-one has any masterplan that would be ruined?

What's the midseason draft order?

 

[Mercuri Rising]

What's the midseason draft order?

It was going to be the reverse of voting on pre-season teams, which hasn't happened because we fell behind. Can still do that after tonight fwiw, we're just missing the 'pre-season' part. Sorry to have not been cracking the whip more on this stuff, life has been hectic.

Nah all good. Just tossing up what to do with my list. I'm sure I don't need to elaborate on what I'm considering [emoji106]

 

[MightyDons4]

So once it's 6pm can we pick as many players needed to get to 30?

 

[eth-dog]

I was actually surprised to see Roughead jr still untaken. Very capable forward, back and in the ruck.

Yep.
