I do. He sent them to me too.

I'm cool to make them when its his go once Geecat has had his pick.

cheers Rafrox, thanks for that.

Guys, here is a rule update while i sit here watching the NFL this morning

The rule suggested yesterday has not had any considerations raised so it is now in place. See below:

*If the manager does not make it in that time, the draft will continue and they can take their pick when they return online. If 5 more picks have been taken from the pick that was missed, then the draft will be halted and next highest O-ranked player will be assigned to that manager, and the draft will again continue.

*Managers have to be aware when a pick before them is missed because if their pick is more than 5 picks ahead of the missed pick and the missed pick has not been assigned a player by the commisioner, all subsequent picks will be null and void.

In addition, the following rule will be integrated into the draft tommorrow night if i dont receive significant objection:

* Time to select your player will be reduced to 12 hours as of October 14, 8pm AEST.

At the moment, based on our average over two weeks, we are looking at finishing the draft a day or so after the season starts which isnt ideal....

I'll pick in a sec, just at work and trying to make a pick without other people seeing. Will pick in next 15 mins

You think they'll steal your picks?

Heh, looks like you wasted no time in snapping up Horford with your pick...I was having a hard time deciding between him & Bibby.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Just waiting on a trade proposal.

 

[realsniper09]

Please don't pick my guys, Hamster

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Please don't pick my guys, Hamster

I'll give Geecat an hour to come back online then I'm picking, I don't want to hold up a slow draft. If I do pick though I'll be studying just who you might want in an act of revenge for you always getting my guys.

Then Hodges will get you!!!

He's taking back the team whenever he has reliable internet.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Sorry for the delay.

Cheers for picking Bibby because I needed a centre with only Okafor on my roster & there ain't to many centres left that I like... now I don't have to worry about picking up a centre straight away....

And I had Bibby ahead of Horford in my rankings.

 

[realsniper09]

I don't think I've ever owned this guy before let alone drafted him. Hamster won't like this guy seeing as though he does nothing special, but I think he fits the team well.

His increased 3's goes along with the rest of my guard-fowards who shoot at least 1, but the main thing here is consolidating my FT% with his outrageous attempts which shadows over what everyone else can produce at this stage of the draft.

82. Corey Maggette (Golden State)

[Theseventhhamster]

You're right I don't like him at all, well at least my formula doesn't. i would've thought he'd be ok now that he hits 3's but nope, he sucks.

 

[MightySaint]

Hmm, i wanted Maggette. 10 mins...

 

[MightySaint]

I hate this pick already.

83. Ron Artest (Hou - F)

 

[raffrox]

I hate this pick already.

83. Ron Artest (Hou - F)

Already gone. Pick 40.

He would have been a mega steal at 83!!

 

[MightySaint]

I have zero idea how i missed that. Thats embarrasing. 10 more mins.

 

[MightySaint]

Take 2.
