I'll run it until November, I'll ask either RIG or HFF to take over for another 15 days then I'll take back over after my exams are finished. Can someone put up an order scrambler? I'll use that to decide the order. Thanks

Re: Essendon Board Superdraft 2011/12

You draft players from the 2011/2012 afl lists. Can't draft anyone previously taken obviously, and we'll have a 6 hour time limit between 8 am and 10 pm AEST to take your picks, so if you took Scully at midday, the next person would need to pick by 6 pm. Between those times because if you're up then and not studying (like I will be) you're crazy. So if someone takes a player at 8:30, the next 6 hours would be 8:30-10:00 pm, and then would be 8:00 am-12:30 pm the next day. You can take anyone you like, from Josh Jenkins to Gary Ablett Jr. If they haven't been taken, that is.

Can one of the mods change this to Essendon Board Superdraft 2011/12 discussion thread? I'm putting up a selections only thread after this

Done. Don't expect it to be a regular thing, though; me changing the title or OP.

I'll leave it entirely with you.

Also, you might want to put the clearly stated rules into your OP; people will dissect them and twist them to suit their own teams, so be careful.

Will do. I'll put them in a list format that people can't ignore. Thanks btw

That was one of the best threads ever!

6 hour time limit between 8am and 10pm is a bit harsh.

 

[Childish Gambino]

You still need to clearly define a voting criteria.

ie. Are we judging players on current output (ignoring injuries of course) or rather on potential and how they will develop over the next year.

When we got to the voting stage last time people were making up their own voting criteria to suit their team.

How so?

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Base it on current, because on bigfooty, every player has the potential to be A grade.

I'll make it on last seasons output barring injuries

Some people don't have access to a PC during the day.

Don't even know why I'm posting here, this game is too painful.

It worked well last time IMO. All you need to do is check once or twice at most while you're at work/school

Re: Essendon Board Superdraft 2011/12

FWIW I actually won

I was more referring to running it, editing the title, updating lists etc 

Actually, I won. RIG added up the votes incorrectly.

I even quoted the post/vote that he missed.
