To be honest it seems that an auction may not be the best route for high level players, so effective immediately I remove Hodge and Goddard from auction, and will pursue privately arranged trades. However I will put up someone else for auction: [span style='font-size: 16px;]Luke Ball
A question on Nicholls - who will be first ruck at the Gold Coast - he or Zac Smith? Both are young, mobile big men, both get injured a little .... but if Zac Smith is still the number one big man, where does that leave Nicholls? It's not like Zac Smith is a heap older than Nicholls (thus Nicholls will succeed him). I have a pick I could perhaps offer for Nicholls, but I'm wondering if I might be getting a back-up ruckman for it....
I am not in any position of knowledge, but[span style='color: #888888; background-color: #eeeeee;]AFL prospectus summarises him as 'Should be the #1 ruckman at the Suns, if he is he could be a valuable point of difference in supercoach'. 'When comparing Nicholls to other ruckman the name Natanui screams out, ' [span style='color: #888888; background-color: #eeeeee;] [span style='background-color: #eeeeee; color: #888888;]On Smith, 'Could find himselfbehindNicholls now and is no longer certain of being the #1 ruckman..'. [span style='background-color: #eeeeee; color: #888888;] [span style='background-color: #eeeeee; color: #888888;]fwiw.

Airport internet being fairly dodgy, so having issues staying up to date but following snoz's suggested approach I have grav up by half a nose..
My last and final, if someone gazumps me or Len doesn't think this is good enough so be it Nicholls for Pick #16 and Marco Paparone

I'm really sorry grav but I just can't get 2 players in plus a pick, I can find one to delist, but others I have are worth more and I'd rather keep them.
Sorry mate, I appreciate the offer, but bandit's bid is more in my wheelhouse, I have him in front. off to dinner, back in an hour and the fun can end
