    Put picks here peeps… :cool:

    Draft rules are:

    - 6 hour windows to make selections
    - Clock pauses between midnight and 6am EDST

    And here are my thoughts on if a coach exceeds the 6 hours… FWIW. I propose we do a hybrid of the old system where the default pick was based on last years highest scoring free agent and the selection skipping method we used in the MSD.

    How would this work? Initially a coach will get the highest averaging free agent from last year BUT when they do eventually log in they will be able to swap those players with any players still available. If a coach hasn't turned up between their picks, default pick will automatically apply.

    NOTE SLIGHT CHANGE TO DRAFT ORDER BELOW - to be updated in spreadsheet shortly

    Actual ladder positions in 2022
    1 GLE
    2 WAR
    3 SBT
    4 WOY

    WOY and SBT played the GF with WOY winning, meaning the final positions would be...

    1 WOY
    2 SBT
    3 GLE
    4 WAR

    Could TIB be the first to have an autopick with the first pick in the draft?? :eek:

    @TerryinBangkok you are most definitely up my friend!

    Was hoping to get off to a flier with this draft, not to be I guess... :D

    I think the 6am start has thrown him, given he posted at 7.54..
    I'll pick for him if his time expires, it's not a difficult choice

    Pick one - Dragons select the "most complete draftee ever in the history of draftees" or something similar.

    Milikapiti Snakes are rapt to call out George Wardlaw's name with the 3rd pick of the 2023 ORFFL draft.

    Over to you @EddieV

    @snoz gave me two choices to draft for him. The first name just went at #4, so we open the second envelope and find at #5 the boy far from his beloved Jan Juc has chosen Xavier Duursma Mid. He adds "Everyone is fading him, I’m buying him." And he has; not only here but in ORFFA.

    Queenstown picks the Poo.

    Hopefully he doesn't live up to his name.

    Pick #6 Mattaes Phillipou STK M/F

    Got a couple of gun youngsters still on the table to build around for the next decade (sounds obvious but I've never had picks this high!)
    Pick 8 - Elijah Tsatas
    Pick 9 - Bailey Humphrey

    I've gone through and noted inactives, please double check my work in the draft sheet if you traded picks, essentially;
    1. Everybody is picking up to the end of the 5th round, Mallcoota and Warburtton are done at that point
    2 Milikapati, Albert Park and Woy Woy are the only ones drafting in the 7th round.
