    100% spot on mate - at this rate we will be finished on or around early NAB cup - a whole month before the real stuff kicks off

    given a lot of people will be taking Monday 25th off work and having a 4 day long weekend we probably should decide whether we will be wanting to put a halt on the draft over that time, and then reconvene on Tuesday ??

    I'd say let it dribble on tbh, and not stress the 18 hour limit until Wednesday?

    And also, im not sure what schedule we are ahead of. When are we aiming to finish this by, and who decided it?

    This is what I was referring to you if you were pointing at my comment..

    Currently we are at 14+ picks per day, double the estimate TTH used and thus will finish miles before the season starts which I presume was his concern.. As it stands we should finish mid Feb.

    Damn you @jamabadar and @Len swiping my ruckmen!

    Although I guess if I was really worried I should have picked up one up before round 10.

    Back to you @That KI Guy

    yeah the 7 picks figure was the calculation to ensure we were finished on or before March 14 (to allow at least a 7 day trade period before the season starts)

    finishing well before then is absolutely fine as long as people are comfortable with picking all of their rookies and list clogger types without any NAB information to go on

    going back to the original question no-one so far has supported having a "weekend off" so unless that changes soon we will obviously just roll on as we are

    Yes, i remember that. At the time i thought it was very conservative.
    And actual drafting has shown that a 2 hour gap has been a rarity for most coaches picks, with many of us consistently picking less than that.

    Personally, id rather have this finished before preseason games start.

    not at all, I just hope my lucky 8 ball draft pick selector has been functioning better than your lucky 8 ball draft pick selector !

    only one team hasn't taken a ruck yet, does anyone want to guess the round of the draft they will pick one ?
