Keeper Lg. BFDL - 2025 List Management Thread

[Deadly Darcy]

I actually think it gets harder later in the draft so people might genuinely need more time. The top end is largely obvious - even with sliders you are likely to know who you want. Later it gets messier if players you were assuming would be available are all gone and you then need to do a bit of research but find you are also stuck in floodwaters.

 

[Rockford]

I think reducing to 12 hours is reasonable. Like flaps says.. I think it’s reasonable to expect to check in at least once every 12 hours while the draft is running to take your pick. Live trades, if they’re going to happen, can be worked out well in advance. I know that’s what I’ve been doing anyway.

Only in north Queensland this year.

It does get tougher, but I think most people would have a running list and an idea of who will be available around their pick. So, for me, if the guys I'm hoping are there are P30 and P31 are off the board, then I'm either shopping a pick around P27 (or whenever my last candidate is gone) or I know who my backups are that I'm keen on.

You must have done this before!

Drew23 OTC in both drafts

Has Drew23 got the flu23?

Has Drew23 got the flu23?

He's taken a pick too so he knows the drafts are going. I Assume he's stuck in a flood as I can't see any other reason for taking this long.

 

[deeman87]

Where is drew

 

[Zim^zuM]

Drew23 have you downloaded the new keeper app for mobile phone and have notifications on.

And probably should have asked first... do you have a mobile phone?

 

[Wise Guy Sam]

Anyone object to highest rookie by yet drafted on timeout in lieu of no auto pick feature.

I’ll change clock to 12 hours as I feel that is appropriate to make a pick considering notifications.

And if anyone knows they are gonna have a rough time making an upcoming pick they can PM me a list and I can make the selection from your list if needed.

That's how it's been done in the past with time-outs.

However I've always been of the belief it should be highest rank on the board. Punish the time out, not next in line who might have their target sniped.

But then again we knew your ranking list would work if you had one. Not sure if your short list works on this yet.

 

[Jordie_tackles]

I don’t get a notification on my phone for either of my picks, get it when my players are injured and when the draft started but not for picks

How can anyone complain if their target is sniped when they didn't have the pick prior to them?

Just the was a draft is. Regardless of whether it's an autopick or not, if you're one spot behind someone you've got no control of who they take anyway unless you live trade up the draft.

They may have intended to get someone else and you would’ve got your man.

I get notifications when it's my pick.

Do you have a Nokia 3310?

We've always done the highest rookie based on actual AFL draft position.. so in this case the next available based on actual draft position is Tauru.

I think we can change to a 12 hour clock once Drew23 has taken his pick. I expect he'll be on later this evening (he was yesterday). Then if flaps, The_Big_Ship and Unknown Caller all indicate with a like that they're aware it'll be a 12 hour clock I say do it, as they cover off the 4 selections after Drew.

Motorola razr

Maybe close and open the app. It only got implemented yesterday but so far nobody else has reported that issue.

I can text ya if you like when it’s your pick between whatever hours you like (that I’m awake) or you can join the WhatsApp group for the draft for notifications and some intelligent conversation.

I agree. I’ll lower pick after Drew picks to 12 hours. Not that we don’t have time but I’m sure we all want the draft to flow AND I’d rather not be drafting for weeks as my screen time is crazy when a draft is on.

I let everyone know 24 hours was only for day 1/rd 1 when I tagged them yesterday the draft was live so this seems like appropriate notification.

That's a Surprise to me. Just goes to show they don't make them to last

He left and never told us why. We have lots of good fun in there
