Contested marks and 50+ goals for the year should translate nicely........... Not sure if Spud man is capable though, time will tell ;-)
I have Choppers next 2 picks ready to go (if no-one else selects them). We've had a good start today let's see if we can't fly through them.
As per the new 8hr rule wrightbrendan has until 10:17 am AEDST Sunday 26th January to make a selection or he will be allocated Ryan O'Keefe.
Some good trading done today all, not sure how many down, but we are in double digits for sure! Well done.
If wrightbrendan is still around I have Choppers' next pick. There's the potential to get through another half dozen or so, time permitting. I have us at 17 players drafted so far today.

Yep, now 19. Best day was 13 January, with 24 picks, second best was 15 January with 20 picks.
Our original rules and setup said that we'd have a first draft (20 players each), then a trade period, then a second draft of the final 6 players. Might I suggest that we just keep drafting, and have the trade period open all February (opens just after midnight on 1 Feb and closes just before midnight on 28 Feb).
Excellent idea, lets just try get a full squad first . No reason why we can't start trading now anyway
technically it says off season, and we are indeed in the off season, so if anyone is keen then i say trade away. ive certainly sent a few pms round enquiring about players

If people want to start trading now, then that's fine with me. check b) - explicitly says that trades to PREseason 2014 are available; hence off season/pre season/tomato/tomatoe. if its against the rules to trade until the draft finishes then how in the world are you going to trade picks to the preseason 2014???? ya with me? in any case i cant see a massive deal between pulling the trigger on a trade now that may or may not include picks to the current draft vs waiting another 6 or 7 rounds and doing it then
I think when the boss gets back there should probably be a rewrite of the trading rules. As its written now it's pretty clear that trading doesn't start until the finish of the first part of the draft. The preseason 2014 picks available to trade are clearly those to the second part of the draft, ie the last 6 rounds. As JPK suggests I think there should be an opportunity to trade after squads are complete. The current rules don't allow for this. While I wouldn't think many people would object to trading any time til the start of the season, if there is going to be a rule change it should require a majority vote.
obviously its not clear champ otherwise this conversation wouldnt still be going see this threadhttp://tooserious.net/forum/Forum/tab...for poll to sort this out and end the confusion
