I'll +1 to all that CR has said above. Agree with Auto picking for Frogs (vs pick skipping) using next avail player from AFL national draft order as selection criteria (at least for first couple of picks) - perhaps remove Viney as an option to avoid complication. Agree with sourcing a new coach ASAP, as seems pretty evident that Nick has gone AWOL, TigersTooTough sounds like good option. Anyway, my 2 cents....will await Commish view on proceedings
If Far Kew was picking on a needs basis, the next pick would have to be one of Plowman, Vlastuin or Jaksch as they are all defenders - and Far Kew only has 4 fit defenders with Josh Hunt out with glandular fever. The pick would have to be Plowman if we are going on a highest remaining picks strategy.
Len, let me know when you want me to pick, i'm not sure if it's after 6pm today, 930am tomorrow or in a week!
I am not prepared to autopick, it's not an option, better a considered pick 5 or 6 picks late than the wrong one on time. I will hold off on passing the baton to bama until Terry, whom definitely should be around soon, gets a chance to nominate a steward. Chris, much as I appreciate the offer I think it would be ideal if it was someone outside the ORFFA, I don't doubt your integrity for a second, just seems to be a better way to do it if possible.
Hi gang. I'm around if required to step in briefly, but would personally advise stopping your draft here and figuring out what's happening with the coaches. ORFFL draft isn't till 1st of March, and we're pretty confident we can get it done for the season
Lot of discussion about Nick. Too much actually, particularly given that this is supposed to be a draft thread. But, it's nice to see everyone else bitching the way I was last year. Len has suggested a separate thread on Nick's team, so let's take it up there. Have noticed a couple of sensible suggestions whilst scanning through. Will give it a thorough read after my next pick. In the meantime, Nick loses Pick #7. Not skipped for later because if we bring in a caretaker now, there would be no penalty. Think Len and I made this pretty clear when we discussed it before the draft. Frankly, we are being over liberal in extending his time beyond 18 hours. But then the word is the liberals are going to win. Mr. Caretaker, which I will take care of, will enter the draft with Nick's second pick. /Portals/0/User%20Images/squashed%20frog.jpg
The Commish has spoken. So Bama will pick at 6pm tonight I presume unless Nick pulls a Lazarus. And the hunt for a new owner will begin, and be conducted by TiB. And this will return to a draft thread.

Oh, and BTW people. Understand there have been some problems with the TS site. Experienced them myself I have. But I have not bitched about it (apart from throwing a 2kg slab of silverside at Hornsy). For those who are donors, it is just that. Donors, not owners. Walsey already does the impossible. Patience and understanding please folks.
Ah crap. I've left all my hard work, research and list-making magnificence (self-proclaimed at least) on a flash drive at work. <img class='ForumImage' src='http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-fc/bash.gif[/img]

Man, has anyone heard from Bama....Do we even know if he is still interested in playing ORFFA? Does he have connection problems? Does he know that it is the drafting period? Aaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
