I bid PSD pick 71

 

Thanks for the Shags bid @anthak

Unfortunately it does not meet reserve for the package of Aliir Aliir and PSD Pick 76

It's within a bees whisker - so if you were to add pick 87 to the above bid I reckon that would be enough to meet reserve.

 

@ViQBoZ @anthak
Mole Creek meets reserve and the Swans young gun is departing Black Swamp with a destination of Northern Tasmania unless a superior bid is lodged by the auction deadline of 1030pm on Saturday.

 

I will improve my bid to PSD picks 71 & 87

 

How about PSD 41 & Jackson Thurlow

 

Thanks for Heard Islands latest bid in the Aliir Allir plus PSD pick 76 auction @anthak

Unfortunately it does not rank ahead of Mole Creeks @ViQBoZ earlier bid of PSD pick 60.

Improving your bid by packaging PSD pick 71 with another early 5th round pick (ie #65 to #68) would be enough to put the Shags in front or alternatively pick 71 plus a MSD 2nd rounder would make it a tough call for this auctioneer.

Cheers TTH

 

I'll add my 2nd round MSD pick to this bid

 

Hey all,
I'm just gonna jump in here for a sec.
Despite this not being specifically articulated in the rules, I have a view that TTH's feedback to Ant here is leaning toward negotiation (although it isn't necessarily a private negotiation). For me, the auctioneer has the option to provide feedback as to why a particular bid has or hasn't met reserve or why one bidder is in the lead over a rival bidder. It gets a bit muddy though if an auctioneer provides feedback suggesting a particular pick or player for one rival to outbid another.

TTH and I have had a conversation and he has provided a very considered response.

I am mindful that this isn't a dictatorship and that we can look to discuss and vote on the nitty gritty of the auction rules at some point.
However, that point will probably need to be post PSD.
So in the interim, we will let auctions continue to run as per normal but with the stipulation that auctioneer feedback does not venture into the territory that I have intimated above.

Cheers



We will now return to your regularly scheduled programming.

 

@ViQBoZ @anthak
Heard Island's bid (PSD 71 plus PSD87 plus 2018 MSD Shags 2nd Rounder) very narrowly takes the lead in the Aliir Aliir plus PSD Pick 76 auction.

The young Swan is now pointed towards a more South Westerly port in the Southern Ocean unless a superior bid is lodged by the auction deadline of 1030pm on Saturday.

Cheers TTH

 

@ViQBoZ @anthak
Mole Creek extremely narrowly takes the lead in the Aliir Aliir plus PSD pick 76 auction.

The surname same as first name Swan is now bound for the Creek unless a superior bid is lodged by the auction deadline of 10:30pm on Saturday.

Cheers TTH

 

Is there any way we can put the current auctions and leading bids in the first post? I assume not all coaches can edit the opening post and that's the problem? As I only check in every day or two coming in and seeing a bunch of bids posted I can honestly say I have no idea who they are even for.
