Competitions Essendon Board Superdraft 2011/12 - Discussion Thread

[Rack Watts]

I assume the West Coast one yes?
Bit of a smokie there Whomb

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Na my deadline in real time was 11.22pm, meaning it was actually 9.22am the next day.
Not making a deal of it... Just sayin'

I know you're not making a big deal. However looking back it seems as if you have been dudded.....

Eth, maybe in fairness for round 2 Towno should get to go before myself and table tennis?

 

[Kong]

Yeah BpB, the WCE one.

There weren't many really good key forwards this year, and two of the top three (IMO) are already gone, so I took the last remaining standout.

Unforuntately Pav, Riewoldt, Brown etc were pretty poor by their standards in 2011.

 

[Towno78]

I can also do this, however 9am-5pm is better.

If it were during work hours, it would have to be Friday arvo for me. Any other time, no chance of consistently keeping an eye on things moving that quickly. Any evening I could, so long as the evening is known in advance of course.

Thought you were going to offer me Cloke for a second there

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Well that is a can of worms isn't it? All I knew was I was after table tennis who took his turn after eth-dog said he could.

What evidence is there to suggest you would have taken Cloke not Judd seeing as though you took a midfielder.

Would you see it as fair that you go before table tennis and I this round?

Yeh, that would be sweet if both you and TT are cool with it. Cheers mate.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

I'm cool with it (obviously).

TT?

 

[doug85]

I didn't even think of Josh Kennedy.

 

[eth-dog]

Yeah I stuffed up there. I'll let you pick before them next round

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Yeah I stuffed up there. I'll let you pick before them next round

This round you mean?

So change it from:

Pick 24: Mr. Mojo Risin
Pick 25: table tennis
Pick 26: Towno78

To:

Pick 24: Towno78
Pick 25: Mr. Mojo Risin
Pick 26: table tennis

 

[Jade]

Dammit Timbo!! I was eyeing off Mitchell.....

 

[Kong]

I originally had him, but went with Kennedy.

 

[SirJimi05]

Some of them were injured. We are judging players on being fully fit.

Fully fit Jack > Kennedy.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Fully fit Jack > Kennedy.

Exactly, which is why I sought clarification on the rule. Surprised Jack didn't go earlier.

 

[Kong]

"fully fit and on performance of 2011."

Jack played every game, or just about. 90% of players are carrying an injury, so to say "oh but but he was injured" is bollocks.

"Fully fit" is to differentiate between Luke Ball and Lenny Hayes in 2011.

Who cares, really; people won't all vote on the same criteria anyway.

 

[SirJimi05]

90% of players carry injuries to the point of not even being able to move properly?

Anyone that watched Riewoldt play could clearly tell he was really struggling with injuries.

Commentators even questioned why they kept persisting with a player that was clearly unjured.

90% of players carry niggles, not obvious injuries. Big difference.

Pretty happy to nail down the best FF in the competition.

 

[eth-dog]

This round you mean?

So change it from:

Pick 24: Mr. Mojo Risin
Pick 25: table tennis
Pick 26: Towno78

To:

Pick 24: Towno78
Pick 25: Mr. Mojo Risin
Pick 26: table tennis

Yes...

Hahaha now your just pulling yourself. 3rd best in 2011 and still debatable whether he is better than Kennedy.

 

[Kong]

@SJ: You can twist it however you want; I'll know that I've picked my side based on the correct criteria, and that you haven't.

If I lose my title, I lose.

 

[eth-dog]

Technically correct, Kennedy, Franklin and Cloke are all CHF's

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Technically correct, Kennedy, Franklin and Cloke are all CHF's

Did you watch a lot of West Coast, Hawthorn and Collingwood games?

 

[SirJimi05]

Hahaha now your just pulling yourself. 3rd best in 2011 and still debatable whether he is better than Kennedy.

Who are the better FF's?

 

[SirJimi05]

@SJ: You can twist it however you want; I'll know that I've picked my side based on the correct criteria, and that you haven't.

If I lose my title, I lose.

"100% fully fit"

This is the criteria set out by the OP and the criteria I will be following.

 

[Kong]

Cool, I'll get Fev and Hayes then, eh?

Of course not, because they didn't perform well (at all). Riewoldt was alright, but nobody would argue his performance was as good as Franklin, Cloke and Kennedy.

I raised this issue with Ethan for this reason.

At the end of the day who cares, really.
