    Hey mate, sorry to hear about MrsBear's health. All the best to you @MrsBear :)
    I don't think anyone was criticising the delay last night and this morning specifically. Things happen, I'm sure we all appreciate that.
    I'm pretty sure Len raised it only to demonstrate how short a 12 hour gap is, and not at all as a criticism of MrsBear - that's how I took his comment anyway.
    In any case, I reckon at some stage we need to come to some sort of understanding about expectations during drafts.

    The thread was full of passive agressive consternation about waiting for the next pick directed at two different people. There was no need to bring this discussion up again, or being so angsty towards other people when if you had been bothering to pay attention it had been talked about yesterday - where I already wrote down my opinion and e discussion was even moved from this thread. If you think asking for people to just relax and just chill, since there is literally no rush because we've been picking consistently and got plenty of time, then yes, we have a massive difference in opinion, sunshine.

    You were the one being negative whinging about four picks a day. Well here's some positivity for you. We've already had five today! So:

    Perhaps you should stop talking and take some of your advice.

    What the f*ck is wrong with you people......it's supposed to be a Fantasy Footy game which is supposed to be a fun thing to do.

    So we all think differently, so what.......am I right? are you right ? ....who the f*ck cares......yes, I'd like the draft to go a bit quicker for personal reasons. but maybe some one would like the draft to be a bit slower for their own personal reasons....I'm happy with that....... what I'm not happy with is seeing these posts of f*cking continual sniping between people, because your views are different.......ENOUGH!
    Take it somewhere else please!

    Leave the rest of us to enjoy the creation of the ORFFF. and everything that it may bring....

    Disclaimer: I've had quite a few beers tonight but my sentiments are still the same.....hic!

    My beautiful short(ish) list of 77 now sits at 49, and is rapidly being chewed up by foreign hordes, it would be a truly wonderful thing if you all just picked from "other" lists (the ones full of shit players just to avoid misunderstanding) for the last 5 rounds .

    We'll try out best mate, just checking that we are free to pick the remaining Giants and Ex-Giants players now that you have reached 8 (7 plus Treloar) ?

    Letting you guys know I'll be away from net access starting tonight some time (8-9ish AEDT) and don't know when I'll be back on Saturday so I've roped in @3n4nsy to deputise for me if it's my pick and I'm not around during that time.

    as at this pick the AFL club/player split is as follows:-

    28 - GWS (apparently only 22 to be fielded each week in the AFL)
    26 - Pies, 25 - Suns and Cats
    24 - Saints, 23 - Dogs
    22 - Bombers, Tiges and Swans
    21 - Blues, Hawks and WCE
    20 - Crows, Lions, Dockers and Port Adelaide
    19 - NM (no longer lowest), 18 - Demons

    by my count Mt Thirsty have 6 from the Bombers, Useless Loop have recruited close to home with 5 from Freo AND 5 from WCE, while Chinchilla have 5 Bulldogs and Jan Juc have 5 from the Pies

    I think my bias of being a passionate essendon supporter is showing though the number of bomber players I have selected so far.

    My complete lack of bias is evident in the Avenger's squad ;)

    We will struggle to win many games so at least I can go along to cheer my fantasy players

    and the fact they are mostly youngish stops your team from being completely filled with 28 pluses !

    My #1 preference player has gone in either one of the 2 picks before mine in the last 4 rounds in a row. I am running out of tvs to through a brick through !

    Here's hoping one or more favoured options slip through to me in the last 4 rounds.

    I was going to pick Christian Petracca about 100 picks after he was actually picked hehe
    I'd done a heap of reading about him and watched videos of him, including this one, which is worth a look:

    Then I went to type him in and thought I'd better double check to see if he was taken and I saw he was snapped up ages before lol
