This is my first attempt at co-ordinating one of these, but I thought someone had to take the initiative and get this rolling. From feedback in the chat thread it would appear others feel the same way . Having said that, I want to stress participation is voluntary, but as trades have been done involving MSD picks we are "contractually" bound to have a MSD. It will be as simple as possible. It's barebones, but it will work with goodwill. I may make some errors, but with that goodwill we will get this done. The rules are simple: * no trades before or after the MSD * delists by 6pm Sunday 26 July AEST; they must be clearly stated in this thread and the delist is then final. When you delist the onus is on you remove the player from your team list so he moves to FA list. I suggest if the player you want to delist is in your team and playing in round 8, please do not remove him until walesy has worked his magic and we have the round scores finalised. Only the Melb v. Lions and Freo v. Cats teams will not be finalised at the deadline. * There is no limit on the number of players you can delist or draft. However, there is the league maximum of 26 players per team. * MSD starts 8am AEST Monday 27 July, order is based on the reverse of ORFFA table after round 7 (i.e., 18th has the first pick from the FA list). There will be a spreadsheet with pick order before the draft commences. * Three (3) hours to make your pick before the next pick on the list becomes active. It would be helpful if all participants contribute to keeping the draft moving. We will try to @ people but it is a "condition" of the draft that you check in frequently. It is the member's responsibility to add the player to your playing list after recording the selection in the MSD thread. The time limit only applies between 8am to 10pm AEDT. * No auto-pick, if you miss the three hour time limit, you can take your pick when you are next "present." However, the player you want may have gone in the interim. The incentive to follow the draft is pretty clear. There are some nice players on the FA list. * The MSD will start during round 8, you cannot select a player in TSLeagues not on your list for round 8, even if you plan to pick up him in the MSD. It is possible the MSD will not be complete before round 9 starts (the afl are yet to advise the fixtures). However, you can play a new pick only if he has been removed from the FA list and added to your list. * If there happen to be any disputes, i will be the sole arbiter. * If I have missed something or you want clarification, please ask. During the MSD it would be great if members air your views on how this years ORFFL champion be determined - e.g., is it purely points for or is that to determine the winner if we need a count back because two (or more) teams have the same number of W's. @walesy , @Len , @EddieV , @Doobs , @Iain , @Johnson , @Lucas , @stripey, @HornsyFiveTime, @Bearfly, @TerryinBangkok, @Kel, @Jason , @thokash , @port_leschenault , @bgt2110, @Gumby , @graeme If you think anybody may not get this missive please contact them by whatever means you have.

Stickied the thread. Gremlins in the machine seemed to have muted any alerts/mentions in this forum for me. Happy to join in
Thanks for organising. We have had issues in the past relying on the TS Leagues ORFFL Free Agents list. Is this still the best source? Has anyone got a spreadsheet going they can share?
Are you instituting a 3hr pick limit overnight too? Given we're all over the shop in terms of location that could be a problem.
The round after is starting on Wednesday 29th, think we can make it by then but not sure how we'll go with the 20 consecutive days of footy and our fixturing.
So to get the ball rolling - can someone confirm the status of Nick Coffield? On the spreadsheet as a Free Agent but assigned to the Milikapati Snakes
Looks like a cock up with late delists. Thurlow was retained in the sheet not Coffield, he is definitely a snake, Thurlow just a pussy.
The glamas delist Zac Giles-Langdon, GWS, F Tom Hickey, R, Eagles Will probably be more. Please note: Zac will not appear on the FA list as he is in the glamas' side for round 8
Thanks for trying to delist Sam Gray for me TiBBY, it's like you could ready my mind. Magicians delist: Jack Watts Dylan Roberton Sam Gray Tom Atkins
A final reminder - the deadline for de-listments closes in a little under 2 hours. We are trying to run a tight ship so get them in ASAP. @walesy , @Len , @EddieV , @Doobs , @Iain , @Johnson , @Lucas , @stripey, @HornsyFiveTime, @Bearfly, @TerryinBangkok, @Kel, @Jason , @thokash , @port_leschenault , @bgt2110, @Gumby , @graeme If you think anybody may not get this reminder please contact them by whatever means you have.
