    According to the threads time stamp, the next auto pick will take place at 1:59pm AEDST today. Yeah your mids look pretty good but I like mine better ;)

    Thought that, although Tom is spelt the nth player. My bet is with the saints player. Clarification would be good ;-)

    Yeah, after looking at his post again I reckon I got it wrong &amp; he's picking up Thomas Curren St Kilda.

    I think he should be in by then and keen to take his own pick so I won't post on his behalf.. Which sucks because it means us end of drafters have to wait another day, but shit happens

    So, my first 15 selections give me my starting 13 and 2 benchies, now for some reserves and depth to cover the inevitable 'rookie rest'!

    You've drafted smart. I still have two positions needing to be filled in my starting lineup : /

Just to clarify and out of respect for everyone in this group, I wasn't 'taking the piss' as you put it with my last minute pick the other day. I have this thing called a life (wife, kid, work, play, etc.) which takes priority over the timing of my picks. I'm sure everyone involved here (myself included) takes ORFFU too seriously - they just have differing amounts of time available depending on the type of work / study they do, homelife, family, relationships, sport, hobbies, etc. I understand it must be frustrating having 2 picks in a row at the tail and start of each round then having an extended wait. That is just the luck of the draw - I'd happily swap positions with you but that wouldn't work. It seems like you need to just relax and learn some patience. I got involved in ORFFU for a bit of fun - not to read snide remarks from some try hard keyboard warrior. Cheers to all who have voiced similar opininons publicly and/or privately. How about rather than whinging that certain aspects aren't exactly as we would like them, we just enjoy the whole process as it happens

    @Tomster and E-E, Thanks for that spreadsheet that shows all teams and their selections, as well as the fact it keeps getting updated. It makes checking out who's available so much easier.

    To further clarify, as stated previously, I am all for a quick draft and will make my selections ASAP. @insider - I'm looking forward to the rd 4 grudge match. I hope for your sake the biggest loser contestants haven't decimated the Ararat supply of lubricant on thigh protection. If they have, I suggest you outsource because when the Blowflys come to town we won't be gentle...

How about rather than whinging that certain aspects aren't exactly as we would like them, we just enjoy the whole process as it happens Settle down cocko. if it takes me being the 'bad guy' for you to actually post something then so be it. ill take one for the team. if you cant recognise a tongue when its firmly planted in a cheek then no dramas, however you dont really need to try and insult me. If thats the way you deal with things in life then I respect that and wish you good luck. I adopt a different philosophy and attempt not to advise people on what they need to do, learn or how hard they try. If youd like to find out how to do this I invite you to continue this discussion over pm so as not to hijack a draft banter thread. If you would like to know about my personal situation, as youve kindly shared yours above, I also invite you to enquire via pm. Lastly, as I have offered to another member previously, if you'd like to continue to insult or abuse me then i'll happily pm you my home address and we can take care of it face to face. hugs and kisses
