Work really isn't easing up on my end, I'm going to have to delay the game until the week of January 12th

Just don't have the time at the moment to give the game the attention it needs

Honestly, better for me. Xmas/new year I’m often away

Nice, yeah me too

I wanted to keep up the tradition of the game starting in December, but it was going to be too much this year

all good. I think a late start is good anyway. People have more time available to keep the game moving and its a good lead in for footy season. Seems a bit deflating to go through the process every year and then it just stops and nothing until footy season.

it would be cool to do an afl fantasy league where each team plays each other on that platform. if anyone is keen I could organise that end. So obviously the players we select in this game are the only ones we can select in the fantasy league.

Will the game miss the melts when someone's prized early draft choice gets injured before Christmas?

I like fantasy classic as it gets me interested beyond 40 odd crows players.

I've not played fantasy draft before but if we can get enough interest that might be fun.

I find with Fantasy Football that I simply end up getting angry at more players than just ours

i wouldnt bother with the draft. We are already doing it on here, no point doing it twice. I would just set up the league then each player just selects their team from their selections here.

If you want to play put a place holder in the competition thread. I am making the executive decision. Thats if you havent heard already from Scorps.
