    So why is it that when you hit the 'submit' button, you never know whether it registered or not because of the 2-3minutes it takes for the page to update and thinking that it hasn't registered, you hit it again and as a result, we see multiple entries of the same message...........hmmmmm!
    That's one for Julius Sumner-Miller to figure out

    I'm going to delete Damo's pick of Harry Taylor, and the posts letting him know that Harry Taylor has already been picked. Hopefully you're online Damo, so you can have another pick!

    Hi guys While there is a pause in the action, I'll give you a head's up; I'm doing some trekking from 19-22 Jan, so will have limited internet access during this time. I will send the boss a list, and if I haven't posted a pick within 12 hours then whoever's next on my list should be auto drafted to the Smugglers. Cheers

    Guys don't send anything to me! I'm going away on Saturday and won't be checking as regularly. Maybe send a list to someone who is picking before/after you so that two picks can be taken quickly.

    Sorry about the wait, but I've taken my pick now. Also I've just checked, this year I'm doing a Bachelor of Business at UOW Bega.

    Are we going to try and do another superdraft time? I think we are forgetting that we organised a trade period in between the two drafts, and if we keep up the current pace we might not have much more than a few days for that, when we probably want two weeks. If somebody wants to organise, I'm happy to send a list through since I'm away.

Insider - send me your list of picks mate. That way I'll know if you're planning on taking a player that I want with one of the two picks you have between mine!

    : ) Good point JPK. If I had to give a list to anyone it certainly wouldn't be someone close to me in the order.
    If Damo or anyone in the bottom half wants to give me a short list with instructions I'm happy to keep an eye out. Only time I'm not on regularly is during work hours.

I'm keen for another Super Draft day, in saying this I'm always within reach of my phone/iPad so will generally take my selection quickly on any given day. If we have a Super day it will only work if we have a commitment from all licensees to either be online or to have provided a list of selections to another party. If anyone needs a proxy I am able to help, PM your list me and I'll sort it out for you.

Don't let them get in the way of the important things in life!

    I just might take you up on that offer,E-E, depending on what day it might me. This weekend I'll be offline from 1pm AEDST Saturday and only back on for a few hours Sunday between 11am-4pm. And the following weekend I'll be away all day Saturday.

    I think the allowance for a trade period is a good idea so I'm happy to jump on board for a super draft time. No preference here except for a bit of notice and will be all good.

    Given the healthy pace we're going at now, nearly a round a day, I don't think a super draft day is necessary. If everyone can make it that would be great but I think it's very unfair on anyone who has to give a list to someone else just for the sake of knocking this off a few days earlier.
