Just as someone with no real horse in this race, I gotta agree with the above. Particularly over the silly season when people go away and do whatever wacky things that people do in the off-season! It's frustrating, and drafts are fun, and I wanna do one RIGHT NOW as well, but surely if you set a date, you gotta stick with it? Speaking of which walesy (and haven't we all had these growing pains), we have quite recently had correspondence with Xenomorph (so 'FU, we actually had our Commissioner go AWOL without a word). Would appear he did not get run over by a bus. My suggestion would be that, while you are waiting for your absentee, have some lively discussion (and decision) about how such perceived disinterest might be handled in future (getting phone numbers is a great start).
The point made that it was mentioned from near the beginning that we would start drafting soon after SC positions were released is a strong one. But gotta agree that we need to give a bit of extra time to allow for summer holidays, xmas and all. If we can get someone on standby in case we hear nothing from mick then that would be great for the continuity of FU.

Please enlighten this uneducated bogan. What is this Prospectus you're mentioning? Has it something to do with Supercoach Gold?

Its what footy nerds like myself salivate over mate. 400+ pages of stats and analysis on every team, player and records etc. Basically a bible for people with too much time on their hands!

Going on your previous posts, delivery sometimes appears to be pretty slow. If I was to order one now, what with Xmas happening in Oz and the political BS going on here in Thailand, I don't know that I'd get it here in Thailand before the 2014 season starts....LOL! But thanks for the link, I'll make a note of it. Cheers.

But thanks for the link, I'll make a note of it. Cheers. Don't know about Thailand mate, but its not really that slow - I only made the comment because others were saying that there's had already arrived. I got a dispatch email from CD on Monday 16 and my Prospectus arrived today - so it took a week. I'd say if you ordered now you'd be likely to see it mid to late January (but I don't work for CD, Aust Post, or FedEx)
Hey JPK, thanks for all the info on the Prospectus. I checked out their website and reckon it would be a very useful tool to have and decided then and there that I should get one. However once I began the process to actually order it, I decided that , having to pay $41.36 to Aust. Post to get it here, plus the $39.95 for the article , was just a little to high for me. So I guess I'll just have to soldier on the same way as I have done for the past few seasons. Cheers
Three days to go, come back Mick, time is running out. Have you tried contacting him again Tomster? Would be a shame to lose an inaugural licensee before we even start. Although better it happens now rather than during the season. Kym, dd, Hawks, you guys got your picks ready to go if Mick is a no show? I'm super keen to draft my marquee player!!!

How was the Southern Cross Christmas Party? I heard a rumour that the head of recruiting got a little drunk, and locked in former Brownlow medallist Simon Black as the marquee signing...
That's better than what I heard, must admit I left the party early. The club hotel was rockin' to the sounds of Cold Chisel and I just couldn't keep my drinks down any more. My sources told me that the recruitment team were spotted talking with Scott Cummings by the cake table!!! What a disaster that would have been, he would've ended up literally sitting at full forward!!! On the other hand, we could have paid him in iced buns and sausage rolls
Im ready. When are SC positions announced? Wasn't the other date the 15 of jan to start drafting? Mick is in my basketball league, ive tried to contact him on the site, no reply yet though. He will be back. Why are we in a hurry?
