Keeper Lg. Extra letters... 2018 List Management thread

[flaps]

If we voted for a stop of the counter between say 10pm and 8am, I would vote for that, no worries at all. It makes sense for the reasons outlined above...

... but I still think (given the rules that have always been in place) a coach has to be responsible once the draft starts to keep an eye on the draft, who is available, and to have ranked some players to auto-pick should the worst case scenario happen. I know that is harder for some, easier for others.. but that is just the nature of drafts.. luckily they usually only take a few days to complete!

I am just relieved that you made it in time, as no doubt there would have been a bit of an issue if you ended up with David Astbury - even as a Tigers supporter!

Tim Kelly is a great selection, I expect him to play most games for the Cats this year, and as a Cats fan will be watching his progress very closely!

For what it's worth i set rankings on Wednesday to be able to avoid this situation. But the logic is that over a period of waiting for someone to take their pick + sleep + get to work + log in ... I then had less than an hour (by chance that I got in in time) to make my selection. Had I not set the ranks beforehand, we'd have a pretty big fiasco like most years.

I've pointed out a few days ago that the date of the draft and trade deadline was pretty minimal in comparison to the rest of the offseason. I'd just like a clear message for all of us to have able time and preparation to avoid shitty situations that will inevitably come with the current setup we have.

... but if he ends up being the man who won you a flag, I think you can let it slide

Deal

Great trade for you Drew if you didn't have a set target... You can take each others pick and trade the players to each other later if you wanted, to keep the draft rolling along

Why did Drew make a trade knowing it was his pick next then disappear? Very keen to see who the next 10 picks are!

He can trade me his picks, I'll do it just to get the draft moving again
