Cheers to the Port and Buldogs board for the inspiration for this - it's run absolutely brilliantly over there and looks to be a heap of fun. Apologies to Port or Buldogs if any offense is taken from me applying their idea elsewhere.

Rules:
With us likely to use picks 17,37 and 40 (I won't bother with the Rookie Picks or PSD)
You may select six players in the draft pool that you think may be picked up by us - four "standard" players, and two "reserves". These will be explained further in the 'Scoring' section of this thread.

Note: You do not choose players in any particular order - for example, you may choose:
Josh Simpson
Mason Shaw*
Spencer White
Brant Colledge

Reserves
Taylor Garner
Marco Paparone

Shaw thing #24

Scoring:
Normal scoring:
Standard player taken at pick #17: 10 points
Standard player taken at pick #37: 8 points
Standard player taken at pick #40: 6 points

Reserve
Reserve player taken at pick #17: 5 points
Reserve player taken at pick #37: 4 points
Reserve player taken at pick #40: 3 points

Bonus points:
The "Double-Up" Award - successfully picked both pick #37 and pick #40 = Your score is multiplied by 2 (1.5 if reserve player used)
Selected at Pick 17 but didn't appear in AFL website phantom draft: Your score is multiplied by 2 (1.5 if reserve player used)

Shaw Thing - Which Pick will Mason Shaw go at? - Bonus 5 points for who ever is closest. Only one person can post each pick, so be quick.

Losing points:
Moo Award - you chose someone with over 5% body fat and he wasn't selected = -3 points
No more flankers - you chose someone who plays on flank and he wasn't selected = -3 points
The "Eagles" Award - one of your players was taken by the Eagles = -2 points

Double your points:
Mark one player with an asterisk. If this player is drafted by the Dockers, you receive double what you normally would have for that player.
NOTE: You receive two times the amount - this includes negatives!

Further information:
-If you do not list both first and last names, you will receive no points.
-You may completely edit (and I mean edit, not repost - your first post will be taken as your final answer) your choices up until 12:01am on Thursday the 22nd of November.
-Winner receives a once in a lifetime jar* of nothing.

Best of luck to all of you!

Is that meant to be Reserve player taken at pick # for the half points?

We should also add in a 'Shaw Thing' bet and guess the number he is taken at for a bonus 5 points. Closest to the mark if no one gets it.

Josh Simpson
Tim O'Brien

Harrison Marsh

Fixed, and Good suggestion. I have added the Shaw pick. First in first served, so I assume pick 17 to 40 will be taken pretty quickly.

I have added a list at the bottom of the OP highlighting everyones pick for Mason Shaw so its easier for everyone remaining so there are no double ups.
