I've just started a new thread regarding changing or keeping the 24hr window, can we all please have a look, choose an option and comment so we can eradicate the frustration and snails pace draft, thanks.
Thanks Yad. Thought I'd better get a ruck, hopefully he doesn't break himself from now until then. The retched long term injury, who will it hit next ?? I reckon bellboy could have trouble getting back at all. Full ankle reconstruction doesn't sound great.
ive had one - they arent that great! was in 08 i think and from memory 16 weeks in cast and a long rehab after that
No worries marty, the site was very slow for me too this morning. hopefully you'll get another pick pretty soon.....
Back from the mountains now gents. Will have reasonable internet access now until the flight home (overnight Saturday, so shouldn't delay anything). Thanks Tylo for posting those picks. To those who were upset with my 'delays' - Apologies but I've tried not to let the fact I'm out of Oz delay the draft too much. So I've given Tylo and previously TTT lists for my picks, as well voluntarily shortening the autopick window to 12 hours. I've also made a few picks at 2am local time to keep the draft moving. I realise we all want to get this moving faster, but I also think that while people are picking within the agreed time frames it's a bit of a drag to have continual 'this is so slow' posts going up. So well done EE for proposing a change to hopefully limit the complaints/speed things up.
I'll be in tommorrow at about 2pm edst. A bit later than usual but it should be my turn by then. Also, what do reckon about a 'half-time' report? I figured I'll knock off something quick like showing what each team looks like thus far.
Choppers you can't be happy with your premium draft pick Joel Selwood going under the knife so late in the pre-season. He'll miss the start of the season.
Yep....can't help bad luck..........guess that might just change my drafting strategy from here on in......lol!
Hey lads above to step on to a flight was hoping fresh had picked... Will check in around 930 aest tonight
Came in a bit early, hoping people are here so I can get my turn(s). I probably won't be in til tommorrow so if my pick does time limit before then, refer to Insider.
There has been some big injuries pre-season and I wonder if Duckwood would have been picked up so early if his surgery was advised pre-draft? Could be trade bait once we are complete with our first draft?
Anyone else heard the rumours about NicNat going under the knife today as well?? Massive news for the No. 1 pick!
It looks like Garland is the latest to go......4-6 weeks with an ankle.............they're falling like nine pins.....must be a pretty tough pre-season...
Apologies for the delay - awoke to find the man-child I was hoping would slip to my next pick was scooped up 2 picks before mine - expect a trade offer Tyze. Some other prospects I was considering were also taken last night so I had to re-assess big time. Unfortunately I had to rush off to work and didn't get a chance to have a decent look all day, then home to life, a hormonal wife and Daddy duties. In the end, I'm happy with the final result - which was a pretty different angle / strategy to my original options.
