guys about to go out for dinner will sneak a peak of two whilst out hopefully wont hold it up was hoping to have had my next pick by now as big gap after that. apologies for any delays!
Pretty safe to say Holky will be gone by now. I wouldn't hold your breath if you're below him in the order. Suns players seem to be the popular choice at this stage.

I think in one Of the earlier comps inaugaral drafts there was 25 or 26 players from one AFL Club by about round 18, and at the same stage some clubs were still in The low to mid teens cheers TTH <p style='font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: 18px;] <div> What benefit is this mate? i dont understand why youd go to the trouble?????

Yep, I reckon all things going well, the furthest we can get today is to pick 85 (one prior to Holky's next selection). That's still 28 picks, not too shabby! We should get another date and time within the nxst week to smash some selections out again. With the time difference for Damo maybe we need to look at an 11am AEDST start so all could be involved. Edit: Spoke too soon.
If Insider knows Holky's next pick, we can get through all of rd5 tonight and the start of rd6. Let's do this guys!

We're just coming to the end of round 4 of our draft, and we have a total of 26 rounds, so 22 more rounds to get through. 22 x 18 = 396 more picks to go. Today is 12 January, the season starts on 14 March, so there's still 60 days to go. We don't want to leave things to the last minute, I would have thought finishing a week early would be ideal so that we can all focus on our SC, DT, and other fantasy teams. I will ignore this however and state that: 396 players / 60 days = 6.5 players per day. Realistically we must average a minimum of 7 selections per day, but probably closer to ten. On behalf of everyone - can we all try our best to be available as much as possible, and inform the 'FU coaches of any major events that will cause anyone to not be available. If for whatever reason anyone can't get regular updates, I would recommend sending some contact details (phone number) to another coach, so that you can be contacted if you're holding the draft up. I'd hate for us to get to the start of the season and not have complete teams. More-over, I'd hate for people to lose interest because of this, and to focus on their other fantasy teams!
yep ive already gone from one million percent keen and interested to about an 80%... not everyone is showing their 'too seriousness' so its losing a bit of appeal with what seems like casual check ins. Bloody choppers lives a million miles away and still gets on here more than most!! As i think EE or JPK said a few posts ago, the draft is supposed to be the most fun bit out of the whole creation of the league!! i just dont get it...

As i think EE or JPK said a few posts ago, the draft is supposed to be the most fun bit out of the whole creation of the league!! i just dont get it... It feels a bit like this. We all need to be committed. We need to be clearer with times we want to really get stuck into this. Everyone, check back as often as possible. If you can't check for a day or two, send one of us a list. Damo sent me one and I'm happy to do the same for others. I'm sure the regulars are the same. We want this to work out and the only way is if everyone is committed. If we are all on the same page, we can complete this relatively quickly. The longer we stretch it out, the less interested people will be. Come on guys. Check as much as possible this week and tell people if you can't check. We can all help.
I agree 100% with the above. Should we try to do this again next week except with more clearer times? e.g. 4-9pm? And if you aren't around you must send through a list. Sad to see that this arvo is ruined by one person not being active

Sad to see that this arvo is ruined by one person not being active I've sat here all day since about 11am (Melb. time) which is no problem for me as I've got nothing to do and all day to do it, but I won't be available next Sunday between 4-9pm.
Yeah agree with all comments here today.... I check every 15mins just in case there has been a flurry of draft picks. My picks change all the time thanks to everyone taking my (what I'd hope) sneaky picks... It's still fun but the sheen is waning due to the slow turnover.... I am hoping to spend a couple of weeks during the NAB trading with everyone and swapping picks etc.
I'll def be checking in multiple times a day. Agree with insider, I was super keen but a few things have meant I started to forget abt planning for this draft and even checking in. Glad today's session got organised though. I'm out on a farm that has no internet, my mobile is flat and have stolen the wife's one to check in every now and then. I think that unless it's an extreme situation, there's always a way to check in here a few times a day, if u really can't then pm a few picks to a coach with a pick after yours. I'm keen for all of us to have a complete team drafted asap
Maybe the people that are slow or have busy schedules, could nominate a time for a session ASAP and we can move on. Who are the slow pickers? Hopefully they can get something organized to help the active out ;-)
It's called 'Too Serious' for a reason. We need commitment as this first stage of funis drag at the moment. The banter also at the moment is just moaning & groaning. The other thing isthe other leagues (ORFFL & OEFFA) are looking on to see if we are in fact too serious. Don't want to be known as the third leg pissing in the wind. The next stage is player & team profile on your club thread and some light hearted banter through the NAB cup when say Suckling goes down in the first 2 seconds of his come back or the that young gun who is due for a breakout season really does come out flying and he's at your club. Tomster set a date and time now, send in your list to someone or the commissioner if you can't make it and lets rock n' roll ladies.
Goondiwindi must have a good pension program for the veterans to be able to draw those names to the club
