    @Lenny120 When you pick #11, check back in soon after, cause I shouldn't be too far away with #12. ... And just for the record, I sent Lenny120 a tweet about 2h ago too, but no reply yet. Im hoping we can get the next 4 picks sorted in quick succession.

    'I would TiB, except there are so many variables (ie: number of players of a specific position that have been taken, depth charts of the other teams to see who they might take before my next pick etc) that it is very hard to discern who i would take this early on' Wow Bandito, you make my email to sNoZ with one name for pick 17 seem simplistic. But, I guess that's how things are here in Waikick country. The pool table in the local pub has 16 balls so I guess the 17 th ball could be pink, depending on the sun bathing habits of the player..

    Ballsy pick Ant, it just might work out. Must admit I was planning to do the same but not for a few rounds yet.

    Ok I've given my pick to Len... I thought we were going to make some progress there but it has stalled again. See you lads in the morning

    Interesting. The best 3 DEF choices went early - draft according to needs I guess. All will be useful acquisitions to build upon. Forwards also a popular choice (top 4 again). This does not reflect on any paucity of quality mids - rather perhaps that ORFFA coaches have picked up quickly that drafting for a keeper draft league is very different to drafting for SC.

    Sorry for the delay there folks. I was all ready to pick and then got cold feet. For the last couple of hours I've been deciding out of 2, and finally came to my decision, but then when it came to actually making it official, I rethought everything and chose someone new altogether. Matt Crouch seemed a better long term prospect than the other two I was choosing out of. I kinda think one of them will be still avail at my next pick. Hope so anyway. The other one just fell at #15 ;) On Garlett, it's a huge risk I know, but I'm prepared to risk it. I think if the news hadnt come out recently about his stress etc, I reckon he would have went top 10. I reckon he's a class act on the field and he'll be awesome in a few years.
