    Thanks @Bandit - it is a strong bid but unfortunately Berry plus late 3rd round MSD is unable to top with the current lead bid (Worpel plus early MSD 3rd round) despite the 4th round MSD addition closing the healthy gap to a small degree.

    This auction occurs in the world of TS where scores “occur” instantaneously whenever @walesy pulls the required lever and averages on the Stats Page update from 59 to 63 or so at that point in time (hopefully tonight) - not before or after.

    TS Stats also ignores Philips donut scores in Rounds 3 and 11, which would further lower his 'average'.

    Thanks @Bandit - i see the MSD 2nd rounder offered as roughly 5ppg more valuable than your last bid, but still short of the lead bid

    Thanks @graeme - I appreciate your strong opening bid, and in particualr the courteous mention of the MSD pick number others seem to forget to mention. However, using the KISS principle I am ranking your bid behind the lead bid (but ahead of the Cavedwellars most recent effort)

    Simply put a 11 pick MSD upgrade doesn't quite overcome a double digit difference in the player averages

    Just for emphasis for the current and intending bidders the minimum 1 player per offer mentioned does not mean only one player can be offered, while 2 assets (minimum) are needed it can be 2 players and no draft picks as an alternative to 1 player plus a pick offers.

    Of course offers of more assets than the minimum specification will also be considered.as it reduces the need to be taking umpteen MSD picks while in a caretaker capacity.

    Less than 23.5 hours to go @That KI Guy @Bandit @graeme - I will be on when I can and hopefully from around 815pm ish on Wednesday to the auction close time.

    Thanks for bidding @JC

    The Stats page has rolled over so relative to Worpel’s updated average the difference is 4ppg, the 12 pick difference is roughly in that range so it is a tough call indeed.

    However the assessment (via coin toss) is that the Lefties offer remains the lead bid, however narrowly, with any material improvement from the under bidder able to shift that.

    Congrats to the Lefties @That KI Guy whose late bid sealed the auction and they now own a shiny new Cam Mackenzie

    Thanks to all of the other bidders.
