Competitions Essendon's GOAT draft

[boncer34]

For some off-season fun I'm proposing a draft of all Essendon players where posters get to name their best 23.

1,214 players have played for Essendon so entry is strictly capped at 52 posters.

Draft ordered will be a randomised snake order and of course each player can only be drafted once.

Once teams are drafted they'll be pitted against one another in series of polls until we have a winner.

Draft Order

Round 1

1. BomberTime - James Hird
2. Pweter
3. TheFrenchCut
4. WN123
5. Stopher
6. DapperDon

How long will we have to make our pick after the preceding person?

24 hours seems fair

[Blind Turn]

Ok. Sounds interesting. I’ll play. Do we get a best team vote at the end from the thousands watching with interest?

Edit: just read the OP in its entirety. There will indeed be a vote. Nice.

Sure. Why not.

Ten is a good number, should close it off now.
Otherwise will be diluting the pool of players too much.

 

[Vindicater]

We are going by how good they were in their era right?

For example Dick Reynolds would probably get smoked hard by Guelfi if we just transplanted him right now but is one of the all time greats.

I think Dick Reynolds would dance around Guelfi

 

[WN123]

Would love to be involved if there is space.

Nah. No team ever has 22 superstars.

Also, want in?

He'd dance around him now and he's been dead for 20+ years.

 

[boncer34]

Alrighty we are closed

Draft order for first 2 rounds is in the OP, I'll update it further later.

Please tag the poster to pick after you.

You have 24 hours to pick after you are tagged.

 

[boncer34]

[BomberTime]

Alright kicking us off, he’s the best I’ve ever seen play in the red and black.
