2018 Draft Discussion

Ruck in the first round let alone first pick is a terrible call this season IMO. Even if Gawn averages 115 again, there are so many rucks that will average 100 this season (Stef, Grundy, Goldy, Krooz, Ryder, Sauce, Nicnat - Even Witts and Big Boy should be around 95) that you can easily just pick one up in the later rounds.

Yeah as i suspected it automatically popped up.
AMAZINGLY i had pick 1.......

Had Danger not gone down yesterday i would've grabbed him but i went Maxy Gawn pick 1

I had pick 4 too and went for Titch. I think i'd have them in the following order; Danger > Titch > Martin > Fyfe > Kelly but its very hard to pick. They are all guns. In my draft Fyfe slid to 7th with Gawn, Kreuzer and Oliver being taken before him.

Expect you will be picking between Fyfe and Kelly at pick 4. Cant go wrong with either

The first selection is a Hawk supporter and is going for Titch.
Then Danger and Dusty will follow.
I think Fyfe is my boy but the banters begun about how he should be pick 1.

 

[Goats]

Fyfe slid to pick 6 in my draft so I snatched him up. I got lucky because one of the players before me auto-drafted and ended up with Docherty.

This is my first time playing. I have a pre-draft list. When it comes to my turn does my pre-draft list dictate who I take?
Or can I still make a manual strategic selection?
Also does my pre-draft list eliminate each player as they get selected? Or does the list stay there as is?

I got Fyfe with pick 7. Can't complain bout that.

Lame.

An autodraft list that is unprepared can easily derail a leagues season. How many rucks did they pick?

Not sure but they also grabbed Zac Williams in the 3rd round.

Not to mention they are the most injury prone position.

Crazy spending on a ruck in the 1st/2nd round IMO.

Super lame.
We have a rule in our league that if you cant draft live then you can't play. Really distorts everything.

Same. Picked Krooz with my next pick.

We had a couple in our 16 person league. They were all active, but couldn't pick for some reason. Someone got Kelly, JPK, Pendles, Cotchin, Ward, Goddard and B.Crouch with their first 6 picks... before Z.Williams. Leaves it so thin for the players actually drafting.

 

[thetradesman]

Anyone interested in doing one of these tonight?

Yeah it was a weird draft because there were at least 4 players out of 10 that didn't draft live. That and NSWCROW picked Gawn at pick 1.

It's just as good backwards as it is forwards

I feel like it's a threat - one I should take seriously.

 

[tazaa]

Worst experience ever
For some reason Docherty was on my pre draft list.
Oliver was taken early but not updated on the list.
And then it timed out and I took Crouch and Higgins with consecutive picks with one on my bench.
Anyone know if I can trade Higgins?

 

[Hawks92]

I have pick #10 in a 14 man draft. Anyone else done a bigger draft?

ohh yeah. Gawn's gonna tear you a new on in your head to head with Crow

 

[TheByeRound]

Got offered McGovern and Barlow for my B.Ellis and T.Lynch(GC)

Thoughts?? Really tempted.
