Let's do an AFL draft game. All you need to do is select which team you want to be, then select 22 players.

Register your interest here.

Once we get 18 people, I'll get us a random draft order.

Rules:
- Pick 22 players each, snake order draft style;
- 12 hours to take your pick
- Starts as soon as we get 18 teams
- Tag the next bloke;
- If you go over your time limit, we move on but you can come back and pick at anytime;
- Keep it fun and entertaining.

How does the scoring for this work? You pick 22 players and then what?

No scoring!

But there's bragging rights for picking the most 2018 All-Australians, having the Brownlow Medalist, Coleman Medalist, club Best and Fairests and so forth.

 

[ArdentEagle]

I'll take Collingwood, if I * up and I'm the Eagles I'll be upset, If I do well and I'm Collingwood everyone else will be upset.

 

[CM9000]

I'll take Geelong.

So we're just selecting 22 players from any team in the AFL?

 

[WCE_phil]

Why don't you do it on here but then create an Ultimate Footy league, have everyone play off in that for the season.

Did one a while back where you had to select your first 18 players, 1 from each team. Then could select anybody with your last 4...

I'm game but I think it'll be hard enough to get people for this, let alone a commitment to play Ultimate Footy.

Having said that, is Ultimate Footy like fantasy football except with a draft and nobody has the same player?

Nah, none of that here - you can take as many players from one clubs as you like.

Are you interested?

Yep it's exactly that. Yeh you might be right, just thought it'd be a good way to get people interested but I suppose it changes the game a bit. For instance you wouldn't get anyone drafting any lock down tall defenders even though they'd be picked quite high if you were selecting an actual team.

 

[nob2210]

Na no time at the moment, sorry

 

[Suma Magic]

Yeah, keen, why not.
