Len.....am assuming that you have to be online for the draft ( ie.....not have a pre selected list) that takes your picks ?

Not at all mate, you can autopick, you just have to hope your pre-draft list is in good order, I think the SC site lets you pre-sort down to 800 odd, should be enough
Waivers are something I hadn't heard of until last year either but here is my summary of how I think they work You can drop players and pickup fresh ones from the pool during the season, if you drop one he doesn't go straight back into the available pool instead the other managers get a chance to pick him up, if more than one wants him he goes automatically to the bidder with lowest ranked team on the league ladder at the time. the official story is below in a cut & paste.. <ul style='margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 25px; list-style-type: disc; list-style-position: initial; font-style: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; color: #414141; font-variant: normal; background-color: #f5f5f5; text-shadow: none !important;] <li style='margin-bottom: 7px; font-style: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-shadow: none !important;]Activate<strong style='font-size: 13px; text-shadow: none !important;]Trade Waivers[/b]to ensure a fairer trading system for players dropped from squads and the general pool of available players. Dropped players from squads are entered into a waiver system (instead of becoming free agents), with a priority list as to which teams will have first choice to pick them up. You can elect the desired time that a dropped player is to remain in the waiver system (from 1 to 4 days), in order for coaches to set their selections/desired waiver trades.</li> <li style='margin-bottom: 7px; font-style: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-shadow: none !important;]In addition, you can also set how the waiver order policy works. With<strong style='font-size: 13px; text-shadow: none !important;]Reverse Ladder[/b](recommended), the waiver order is reset at the end of each round. The lowest ranked team in your league gets the first priority of selecting from the waiver pool, with the next-lowest picking next and so on. With the<strong style='font-size: 13px; text-shadow: none !important;]Last Pick to Bottom[/b], the order is never reset - users go to the bottom of the priority order after each successful pick.</li> <li style='margin-bottom: 7px; font-style: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-shadow: none !important;]If waivers are not activated, all players dropped from teams become 'Free Agents' at a set time, usually Midday the following day after they were released. With this system, players may be picked up on a 'first-come' basis, at the time they are released as a free agent.</li> </ul>
Interesting. Clearly though, whoever gets first bite at the cherry also has to delist someone to make way. Will be looking forward to see how they set it up. Also are our 4 EMG just that or are they scoring EMG like in ORFFL? Don't think Snoz needs to list beyond 220 in the auto-draft.

The 4 are affectively non scoring for that round so are depth players however I do have the auto emergency activated so the below applies.

Waivers are critical inthistype of game guys. The waiver wire determines who gets first pick of the available talent pool each week. So if two teams have a mid that goes down with an injury, then the person higher on the waiver wire gets first crack at a player. Where it becomes critical is if a player (let's say Tippett) is coming off a long injury/suspension mid season... multiple players will want to draft him but it is the team highest up the waiver ranking that will get him. Tippett may not be a good example as he may be taken in the draft but you get my drift hopefully Obviously the trade requires you to delist someone as well...
Call me a drunken grasshopper if you will, but it is only in this season that I realised that the 2 scoring EMG (or whatever they are called) in ORFFA are effectively 2 extra players and should, ideally, be top-scoring MIDs. When we first started out down this long road together I actually thought they were emergencies and drafted accordingly. Pretty dumb huh? Hence my question.
As did I Terry, I suspect redoing the initial draft would result in significantly different squads now
OK TiB and Len, you are both drunken grasshoppers - guess that explains the dismal results last year. Memo to Chief, shorten TiB's and LenH's odds now they know what they are doing and wind the Waikik's odds out because we are short of quality players in all positions - especially defenders.

Hey Len, hope ya don't mind mate but I jumped in and grabbed the last spot to make sure there was a touch more ORFFL/W2SP representation
