    Ok fellas, that was a bit of good timing on two fronts. 1. because Holky is around and can take his own pick and 2. I lost internet connection about 8pm (AEDST) last night and didn't get it back until about 11am this morning but was lucky enough for it not to be my turn to make a selection. For future reference, I go offline every weekday at 9pm(AEDST), so if I don't make a selection within 1-2hrs of it being my turn, at any other time, then I've lost the internet. I'll advise everyone on this thread if I'm going to be off line. There's a lot of sh*t going down in Bangkok right now so wouldn't be surprised at all if they pull the plug on various communication avenues. I'll be offline next Sunday, 19th, from 4pm (AEDST) until 11.30am next day. So depending on where the draft is situated then, will determine if I need to post selections with someone.

    </br> Holky's answered the question for us! Love the sound of a quarter time blog Holky! I might need someone else to do it though... just lost my spreadsheet. It's set me back A LOT! Still can take picks though. Whalers training starts tommorow, will be there in the afternoon as always though, just refer to Insider if I have to autopick.

    I'm sweet, no worries. I'm about 200klms from there down the eastern seaboard towards Rayong but everything is controlled thru B'kok. It's driving safely on the roads here, that needs plenty of attention....LOL!

    Off topic a bit but with the BAFFU, I think we should count it for the main season and only at the end. i.e. Brownlow Medal style.

    I can do a write up on how each team is looking so far if you want. Just a list of each team with their selections and a little paragraph under each one. Let me know if you'd like me to do it, then I can start. :)

    TTT, if you've got the time and the inclination, then why not. You're taking on a fair bit of work though, I would have thought.

    Ok. We'll then, how about I do what Holky did for our first round, and do it for the last 4 rounds of drafting with just a little comment beside each player. Then Holky and/or I can do what I said above, after maybe rd10 of drafting when we are halfway through?

    That's 100 selections guys, only 8 short of all teams having 6 players. The draft that started slowly has finally gained some momentum. Well done everyone :)

    Hey guys, I am doing a write up now for rounds 2-5 worth of drafting. Will be ready over next day or two. I'll upload it straight when I am done. Hopefully Holky isn't doing something similar. If he is, then I'm sure we can figure something out, haha

    It's not that I'll get cut-off necessarily, its just that at around 8.30-9pm AEDST, every week day, I have to go up to our restaurant, hook up with my 11yo twins, and take them to their taekwondo classes, wait for them to finish and then bring them home for showers and bed and all the other things that go with that.....so I'm online most days until that time.

    My next pick will be in shortly - just got home after being flat out at work in 43 degree heat FFS!! The bulk of the guys I was looking at for my next pick just got snapped up - Mundy, Ward, Grimes and Simpson. No need to PM either fellas - earlier email issues have been resolved and I'm keeping an eye on the draft throughout the day on my phone. I'll just do some quick research now and make my selection

    Draft is moving nicely now after some initial hold ups, would be great to get 2 picks in a day, but am definitely happy if I get at least 1 a day.
