[Freo Shark]

If not, any chance that I could have Barlow please?

PM Silverscope. He is organising the draft.

Yes you are too late. Also you are a Syndey supporter. This is for Fremantle supporters only.

almost time to fire up the buddy draft

I was thinking about this earlier, it's obviously too late this year but I reckon the single most effective thing to make the draft more interesting would be to only allow each player to be selected once until all players are gone then start again.

So with each group of 10 having 48 hours to make their selection, it's going to take most of January to do this; right? I've just put the dates in for each group of 10 below, mainly to help myself. If I've got it wrong, let me know and I'll delete the post SS.

Unless a group gets their picks all done in a day in which case we all move up a day, etc, etc...

I'd probably prefer the days were set so that I know when to come and make my pick. Otherwise we need to be able to see clearly somewhere any changes, but i guess that will be up to SS to post on the other thread?

 

[silverscope]

Looks pretty good to me Selggad. Thanks for that!


Yea as esti said if all the picks are finished in one group I'll be moving to the next.

I don't really want to be on here daily for a whole month.


As you can see there are a couple of picks already completed for the first group.

I was thinking about this earlier, it's obviously too late this year but I reckon the single most effective thing to make the draft more interesting would be to only allow each player to be selected once until all players are gone then start again.

I think you'll find that most people will select a range of different players and pavlich won't go 1,2,3 etc.

Happened last year and i'd expect it to happen again this year.

 

[estibador]

I can already predict the order for you...

The young guys will all go first because everyone is all excited about them.

The quality senior players will go next - everyone likes them but they don't have the same novelty factor.

Then your less popular fringe senior players will be taken.

Then Murphy.

 

[docker_champ29]

I'm starting to doubt Stephen Hill will be around at 43.

 

[silverscope]

Well he has been selected once. Who knows....

 

[docker_champ29]

Well he has been selected once. Who knows....

could you open it up to 43 instead of 40? haha

 

[silverscope]

nope

I'm not until pick 55. But I know for sure the player I'm going to pick will still be there.

 

[silverscope]

double post.

Well done to silverscope for organising this years buddy draft.

I was thinking of changes that could be made to the buddy draft 'system' for next year, and this was what I came up with.

I think that it's important to have the element of a random order rather than a 'first in best dressed' kind of system, but as SS said, going through every single pick would take forever.

So my idea was;

Towards the end of the season, everyone who wants to be a part of it signs up in a certain thread like this year. When the time comes to make the draft order, two different lists are made. One contains members with a join date of anytime during 2010 whilst the other list contains everyone else. The lists of 2010 members is then added on to the end of the main list. So this would stop the occurences of first time posters and trolls having high picks whilst people who have been on this site for a while would never be at the very end.

Then the day of the draft would roll around and it would be open slather; anyone can pick at anytime. This is where it gets a little bit technical. The draft would be open for a whole week. Lets just say like this year that enough members nominate that every player will have 3 buddies. If during the week, a certain player (Nick Suban for example) is taken by people with picks 30, 40 and 50, someone with pick 20 could "trump" pick 50, even though they would take their pick afterwards. Then in that scenario the person with Pick 50 would have to pick someone else, whilst the person with Pick 20 would get Nick Suban.

So essentially, you would be able to trump someone if you have a higer pick than them, regardless of when you pick. After a week, the picks are set and anyone who hasn't picked has to deal witht he left overs.

The advantage of that system is that ultimately the person with pick 1 would hold the power, but everyone else wouldn't have to wait around until they'd made their pick.

The disadvantage would be that it might be a bit complicated and confusing.

What do you think?

 

[estibador]

What do you think?

Not a bad idea at all. I like it.

It'd take a little bit of work from whoever was organising it and everyone would have to be responsible for themselves (ie constantly checking back to make sure someone hadn't trumped their pick)... but if it was only for a week it shouldn't cause too many hassles.

I like the idea of making the n00bs earn their stripes in their first year too. It'd be quite amusing in the case of Pav (the poster) cos he's been here longer than most but none of his accounts ever last a whole year.

 

[bigkev bleeds purple]

What do you think?

Sounds great, but also sounds like you just threw your hand up to organise it. I'm not sure how I heard the sound of you putting your hand up, but I guess we should just let that slide.

 

[shibz_1989]

What the hell? I missed the draft?! I am freaking devastated.

 

[E Shed]

Just pick a player Shibz, plenty left no?

 

[shibz_1989]

Kepleeeeer!
