DRAFT GAME III- Watch This Space!!

[toddy]

The next installment of the Draft Game (yes i have paid Warwick royalties for borrowing his idea) is almost complete and will be held shortly.

A date is not yet been set but within 2 weeks (possibly closer to the end than start of period) would be expected. In terms of game details i will not release this information until closer so as to make it more difficult.

At this stage I am looking for people to declare their interest, any Brisbane BF member is eligible, though I again state i would like one or a couple of John, TBD and TFB to partcipate. As for Grim, Warwick and to a lesser extent myself, we will more than likely be only involved if the 4-5 (exact team numbers not yet decided but first in rules apply) cannot be found.

I raise the possibility of having teams inside of teams (2 players making team A for example) if interest is wide spread. If there are any suggestions for ways to improve the quality and efficiency of the drafting process please post them and they will be considered.

Thank you guys and look forward to seeing the battle resume!!

I like the idea of 2 posters making up a team. May help with the research and keep the ball moving. Also create a little more competition with how the partners are interacting and their approach. If there aren't enough people that haven't had a go yet then I will put my hand up. Sounds good.

 

[Warwick]

What royalties toddy?

I reckon the "team dynamics" would be interesting, but it would probably start many fights. We will definately see who wears the pants in the relationship.

I won't participate in this draft game as I'm going to be busy with my school Formal (15th) and Graduation (17th). I am also going to Adelaide on Saturday 18 November until Friday 24 November for Schoolies. I will play in the 4th game though.

 

[Warwick]

I'm out till at least the 16th as well.

 

[Ashli]

I've been on hols for the past 2 weeks already so I'm ready whenever anyone else is.

 

[John]

As I said in a previous post I am tied up with rellies staying. After they have gone, in another 4 weeks, I am more than happy to make a fool of myself for your entertainment.

 

[Man City Blues!]

count me in.

 

[toddy]

Date is yet to be decide but after the 15th (maybe sat the 18th). Im sorry Man City Blues Lions posters get preference, and as there will be only 4-5 teams there might be no hope.

 

[Grimreepah]

Seeing as no one got 10 votes in the last game, I presume it was a draw.

Next time the poll should have a time limit, eg 14 days, and whoever has the most votes after that time wins.

 

[toddy]

Yeah thats the plan.

 

[toddy]

Get team nominations in now before its too late. There will be 4 teams.

 

[Warwick]

I'm in.

I couldn't miss a chance of laughing at Grim again.

 

[Grimreepah]

Just discovered joshhem has Francou.

Motion passed.

My stupidness may have cost me the game.

Your picks Grim.

LOL

I think this draft game will be the real deal. The first game was a warm up and the second game was a draw. So now the winner takes all.

 

[Warwick]

You can try again, but i am with one with the people.

They understand me, and i understand them.

I know what they want.

You should not generalise about the posters on the Lions board. They are all unique and have their own opinions and have their own special place on our forum.

 

[toddy]

Im afraid they like KPP so your out of luck grim.

I'm yet to come across one who would play a ruckman at CHF, but when I do, you will be the first to know.

 

[Grimreepah]

Anyway. No more picking who I think is the best side. It's all about votes, so this time I'll be picking a side that gets me the most votes. The gloves are off fellas.

 

[Warwick]

Funny, i pick a side who would win easily. This seems to be a good tactic for attracting voters.

THE GAME AND ITS RULES


A GAME OF NUMBERS.....This latest installment is based around jersey numbers. The numbers 1-44, and the 16 teams make up the basis for this the most anticipated and difficult version of the draft game.


THE RULES

*Each team can only have one player for each number. (The players number is determined by the one he has played most of his career in).

*Each team has 15 random numbers (between 1-44) that they are restricted from using.

*Each team must consist of one player from each of the 16 teams (with no more than two).

*Each team is allowed 2 selections of players with numbers they wore that arent considered as their primary number (Must still have been worn post 1996 inclusive).

*Player pool consists of players who have played a minimum of 20 games between 1996 and 2006.

*There will be 4 teams with a 12344321 drafting system as per other games (which will be determined later, as too will the number exclusions).


CURRENT PLAYERS:

Grimreepah
Warwick
Ashli


PRE-GAME EVENTS:

*Find one more player

*Each player sends me, via PM, a number between 1-100 (Warwick has already sent one).

*Player with number closest to mine, chooses what team they will be (A, B, C or D), without knowing the number exclusions. The next closest person chooses from whats left and so forth until the player with the furthest away number is left with the team letter left over.

*Players will be privately messaged their respective number exclusions (these will be kept annonymous unless player decides to let others know).

*The draft order will then be announced in a 1234 4321 format.



IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PLAYER AND VOTERS ALIKE:

*Players must have played 20 or more games.

*Players are to be judged on what they have achieved in their career, not on potential. Eg. Mitch Clark (albeit ineligible from this game) ha not accomplished much, and thus would not accrue many votes.

*Players are to be played in their positions (or have at least played a few games in that spot). Eg. Jamie Charman has not played CHF before and thus would be judged harshly if placed in such a position (GRIM!!).

*Toddy has decisive vote in case of a dispute!!

Funny, i pick a side who would win easily. This seems to be a good tactic for attracting voters.

I've found that not to be the case. Last time I had a midfield that would have killed any team before the ball even gets to the forward 50, but the voters are naive. They see a few big names with overblown reputations sitting at CHF and FF, and vote without thinking it through. And it seems ruckmen are as valuable as small, slow, outside players that are soft and have poor skills.

But I have learnt. My strategy has been honed, and this time it will be your job to try and keep up.

 

[Warwick]

Bring it on!!

I think Ashli said she was in. You might need to check that with her.

I can pretty much start whenever but i wont be able to spend a long period of time on here (like previous games) until the 16th when i finish exams.
