Sunset is at around 5:08pm on the 21st Solstice is actually at 2:38am on the 22nd. Simply, this is the time that the sun is furthest north. See HERE for an explanation. So its the longest night. A very important night for a lot of cultures over time. For many, it has been seen as like a death, with the new sun representing new life or a new beginning. similar to how lots of people view New Years in Australia. With this in mind, it might be fitting to delist at sunset on the 21st and then start the new draft at sunrise on the 22nd haha In my house, we celebrate the solstices more than easter, new years and christmas etc. The longest night and longest day are very interesting times of year to me. If anyone wants to read more, you can search easily on google, but here's a site I found just now that seems ok at a glance, with a history of winter solstice: http://paganwiccan.about.com/od/yulet... Im not really fussed about when the draft starts, but thought we may as well, given the initially proposed time is similar to sunset time. But it does not worry me in the slightest if we dont do it. We can start at midnight or midday, whatever, and ill be fine I dont have a 1st round pick anyway Just a suggestion Also, is anyone elses private messages not working?

Moot point currently tbh given that the current 1st pick takes place in Bangkok Messages are working, I get an error every now and then when loading, have done for a year or so, but definitely working globally so if yours are down best bet would be to email Les, I think I have access to that section, but with only enough knowledge to screw it up, and I've been told to not play with things I know nothing about
yeah, the 1st pick being in Bangkok was not lost on me But sunset in Whitsunday is 5:32pm We have always seemed to use Melb times as a base. Shame about my messages. I havent received a message for about three weeks. I cant archive messages, I cant open messages. I cant delete messages. I can see them, well ones from 3 weeks ago and older, but thats it. I had previously emailed Les about it a couple of weeks ago and he seemed to know what was causing it and I thought it was ongoing and for everyone, so its interesting to know it may be just me. Ill email him again now. If anyone has messaged me in the last few weeks, I have not received it. Maybe let me know in the forum if this has happened.
bizzare. I just checked my messages and its all working again. Hasnt worked for 3 weeks, even last night, but now they seem fine.
'The Vultures trade Bryce Gibbs, Jake Melksham, pick 69 and round 2 MSD to Wagga Wagga in exchange for Nick Malceski, Shaun Higgins, 1st round MSD and pick 81' - 2015 Pre-Season trade Hey Len, unless I've missed a trade made after this one, I believe I should have Lenny's first round MSD pick, and instead of him having my pick 18, he should have my 2nd round MSD pick... I think?

Gundagai has my 2nd round Len #28... I get Patty Karnezis... I've got Adam Cooney and Karnezis to add to my list and I lose Ben Reid.
