The glamas delist: Sydney Stack - D Conor Stone - F/M Harry Cunningham - D Mitch Cox - D/M Ned Long - F/M
OK delistings done and for those teams participating the draft starts today at 7pm with @Len picking at number 1 for the knightriders. if one of the more computer literate are able to put up the draft order before then in those nice tables you do it would be most appreciated. otherwise we can work it out ourselves. at this stage have 9 teams participating. see you all then.
Ah, at this stage there are 10 teams involved. Here is my amateurish schemata of the draft: 2022 ORFFA MSD Name Delisted Pick #'s Knightriders / Len -4 1 11 19 25 Dragons / TiB -2 2 12 glamas / graeme -5 3 13 20 26 29 Quolls / Iain -1 4 Bullfrogs / stripey -3 5 14 21 WoyWoy / gumby -5 6 15 22 27 30 Jackrabbits / snoz -4 7 16 23 28 Wondai / James -3 8 17 24 Warburton / EddieV -2 9 18 Glenrowan / Doobs -1 10 Total delists 30 Count of teams 10 Ignore this effort - please go to the 2022 FL MSD thread
Wait what on earth has happened here, why has the draft been run and done in the first week of the bye period when we have a full 4 weeks? I've been travelling the last week and a bit and checked in only once or twice, one post was even after the suggestion to run an early draft (which granted, I totally missed) and then another just to reply to DM's. It did not occur to me in the slightest that the draft would be had so early and I would need to check in, it never has and to be frankly honest absolutely makes no sense and is illogical. There was no standalone thread and/or direct message or tagging to try and notify coaches. I know it's an 'optional' draft and whatever but absolutely not happy, I haven't even had a minute to really work out what I wanted to do with the long term strategy of my team, let along work out delistings and make a draft priority list. As P_L says maybe I'm just too busy and tired (and old) to really keep up.
hey mate, seems it falls back on me. I had forgotten entirely about the concept of the MSD and just threw those dates out there with zero considerations for what’s been done in the past (didn’t even occur to me the byes last for nearly a month!)
Yeah, I mean there's stuff I'd have like to have done which is disappointing in that regard, but we're a league without an actual leader for however long. So if people are organising things, fair enough.
I do think we need to sort out a bit of organisation at the end of this season, the last few years have been scrambled through at best.. I've posted this in the draft thread, it's not much, but may assist some;
@walesy will sort it out during the round 15 rollover and they should be available to be added after that
Sorry about the chaos of this weekend, I'm away without my scripts, so wasn't able to update the lockouts. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again next week
I think we should all take this very seriously from Johnny Kash. He identifies what is part of a larger problem - a rudderless ship. If we can take a leaf out of ORFFA, there should be separate posts for each activity (Calendar of Events, Delists, Trades, Draft, etc. in addition to general chat). And ORFFL, having buried the savage, needs to elect a Commissioner and the Commissioner in turn needs to select a handful of helpers to get things organised. Appointing a Commissioner would normally require an election. I have an alternative, if somewhat radical, suggestion. Whoever is currently top of the ladder is our leader for the remainder of this season and, whoever wins the mug this year is the Commissioner for the next. Thoughts and discussion. Suggest we remedy this ASAP. @walesy, @James84, @PhilArthur, @stripey, @EddieV, @Len, @Iain, @Johnson, @Bearfly, @Doobs, @Gumby, @graeme, @port_leschenault, @thokash, @Lucas, @snoz, @JoshyC
