Got alot of picks done today.


Lucky im on holidays, dont know how the people who are working are keeping up.

Yes it's been a excellent result, helped largely by those who are working/busy sending preference lists.

I'm on holiday too, or I could never do this, it's worked out well with U2 and Pharace busy.

Thanks to everyone sending preference lists.

Tiger29 and TigerMad are the only ones who can pick before 11am tomorrow morning now.

Both are entitled to two picks each if they come online before then.

TigerBob can make his pick from 11am PRE time tomorrow morning.

Fantastic progress today! :clap
 
Not happy i had until 8.30 to make my picks as i have two in a row.
I think a player recall is in place.
I would like ruling thankyou.

If no over ruling i will take.
Kennelly, Tadhg
Goodwin, Simon

Don't worry will keep my two players.

Well if your truly happy with that I will finalise it on the master list.

I'm waiting to hear back from Pharace, i think 2 of the three of us at least should rule on it to be fair to your request.
 
Okay discussed it with Pharace.

Your good sportsmanship is greatly appreciated.

The spirit of the 2hr rule has been to give anyone up to a 2hr window to make their post, not because it takes 2hrs. Every time someone has had two picks, yourself and Kurtzy, they have done it within a few mins.

More to the point, the pic before yours was made at 4.30. Even by the basis of your query, your first pick was due at 6.30...and your 2nd 8.30pm. The alarm has only now been raised just after 10pm.

It's a difficult situation. The 2hr rule really is to give any poster that window to make their pick/s. That is how it has run up to now and needs to continue to run, foremost apologies from us if we have not made that clear. As I said, your sportsmanship is greatly appreciated.

To avoid this happening again, please allow me to state clearly, the 2hr window applies to every poster. Including people with two picks (Kurtz & Tigermad).

I'll finalise your picks on the masterdraft as selected by you.
 
:clap

Maddy, applaud your generosity of spirit mate. I was faced with a similar issue when Phanto took a player I was going to pick, but there was a technicial issue over whether we were onto 2hr rule yet or not. As it is a game (it would be different if were were really controlling a $20m footy club - nd heaven help them if we were ;D), and I saw it as an advantage for all to advance the two hr rule, like you, I said let's move on. I only explain that to draw an understanding with you.

The picks around this time are probably not that critical - there are still plenty of B grade players still - thankfully - and the two you have picked (Kennelly and Goodwin) are just that - bloody good B grade players. I would like to think that any disadvantage felt at the time is softened with that knowledge.

Thanks to DD for working carefully with this in the interests of all.

Onwards and upwards!

Sorry tigermad, if you do want Nathan Jones you can have him.
 
Well it's 11am and looks like my time for a selection to keep things moving.

Tigerbob selects;

Daniel Motlop - Port Adelaide Football Club

Can't believe a guy who kicked 57 goals and at one stage through last season was pretty much unstoppable could last this long. In a forward line with Pavlich (67 goals), Medhurst (50 goals) and now Motlop (57 goals) the team possesses plenty of attacking options.

Wow, i can honestly say that one caught me by suprise. Good get, I've been considering him too, I just prayed you would stay away from two areas, let alone 5 players I am seriously considering and you did. Makes sense when I look at our structures though.

Good get.
