We are all good. Let's just get on with the game.

I'm borrowing a strategy from Trump. I'm going to build a wall and keep the mex... I mean ruckman out.

 

[azza77]

I came out of working a 13 hour work day yesterday to find that Vantz had hoarded a whole load of ruckmen and just gone ahead with it without league approval as such. Since he is now commissioner he could go ahead an okay the trades.

However if he is only taking 3 with him in his final 16 and is going to be sensible about it, then my apologies Vantz and I take back what I said. I just thought this was a stand against CC playing, which I found petty.

And Kristof I couldn't really care less about being commissioner as such, that doesn't phase me I promise you, again I just though Vantz was going ahead and doing as he pleased. I thought we had finally moved past the ruck issue.

But anyways, continuing on.

We really need to set a date as to when people need to submit their final 16 by.

We also need to set a draft. I'd agree with Kristof I wouldn't mind doing a week long draft.

I'd prefer a single night. Would take 2-3 hours, max.

I think whoever edited the poll can edit and update about whether we live draft or week long draft.

Also possibly if we are in agreeable we place a cap on the amount of rucks per side at the start of the season. Say 4? I realise a star ruck may go down in the season and ppl would not want to delist and still get a ruck, in which case I think 5 is okay. Eg Mumford last year.

I was considering this and was going to suggest it and I agree. From the original starting period, players can only have 4 ruckmen on their list of 30 to start the season.

Once injuries and suspensions etc occur, changes and allowances will be made.

I'm happy with this and think it would be a good rule to implement and trial to begin with.

Danoz I'm happy for either to be honest. Long draft or one night doing a quick one, maybe a Monday night? That's the best night for me.

Maybe select the Monday night straight after the completion of the nab cup?

Danoz can you set up a new pole.

Is Houston in?

I think a week long draft could stop any chance of someone missing a pick, which happens in a nightly draft.

If everyone commits to being available, how will anyone miss a pick (unless you are me, and don't realise it's your pick)?

I added the questions to the poll. You can edit your answer, and make two responses. 1 for the draft, 1 for the league.

 

[azza77]

Dangersloane and I are trading ziebell for laird.

Double checking this is okay with everyone before Vantz processes it..?

 

[azza77]

Did people think 6 on the bench was too many and want to drop down to 5? Or do you want to keep it at 6?

Allefgib this is the only rule change I can think we are going to make.

 

[Vantz]

Leave squads as are would be my vote. Injuries in a keeper league you might need that spot.

Internet goes down. Dog does a poop in the hallway. Missus comes and wants to talk about her feelings.

All sorts of ways it COULD happen ...

Plus doing the draft over a week is fun.

 

[Vantz]

I'm not fussed either way. I'll go with the majority.

What a great amicable day we have all had. High fives all around.

 

[Bound For Rory]

Sounds like I missed the boat lads. Devo

Campbell's Chunky did you delete your FB account?

Bound For Rory you're walking into a shit storm here, but if we roll with 10 teams, there would be a spot for you. Are you keen?

Didn't give me long to reply

Sorry mate, we noticed that on your profile you had last been online on the 9th of December 2015 I think it was.

Given that we put out some other feelers in the meantime to make sure we had 10 come draft time.

Apologies if Houston isn't playing then you'll next in line.

 

[Mego Red]

I'm hesitant to say it - but if we're saying no to Bound for Rory, I think we at least need CC to post in this thread that he's interested and playing.

Hes currently in Melbourne at the moment and a bit busy.

Said he will get around to selecting his keepers in the next few days.

 

[Vantz]

Scroll above for my opinion.

 

[Vantz]

However, I do believe we should be looking for more established members of the board who we know are active. Next year if a vacancy arises.

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

azza77 Bound For Rory can have my spot!

Hey man, come on back and we'll get you going.

Are we sure we want to go with someone who has 45 posts?
