Nigeria is draft 2s highest ranked points for team at 16th and our total is on average 130 points lower than the entire comp

Get on the Nigerian Princes bandwagon!

Turkey who got eliminated from the competition had more total points than us. :P

[ossie85]

So, where did the eliminated teams come from (i.e. which draft).

The drafts were:

Draft          Teams
1   Rich, GWS, Bris
2   GC, Melb, Coll
3   Freo, Gee, Carl
4   Port, North, St.K
5   Haw, Ess, WB
6   Ade, Syd, WCE


Remembering, we did have some dead teams, but still....

Team   Draft   First draft   Pick taken
Netherlands   1   Trent Cotchin   6
South Korea   1   Brett Deledio   8
Turkey   1   Tom Rockliff   1
Brazil   2   David Swallow   5
Nepal   2   Jaeger O'Meara   6
Ukraine   2   Steele Sidebottom   3
Colombia   3   Michael Barlow   4
New Zealand   3   Bryce Gibbs   3
Spain   3   Joel Selwood   2
Texas   3   Steve Johnson   6
Canada   4   Oliver Wines   3
Ethiopia   4   Todd Goldstein   2
South Australia   4   Jack Steven   8
Bangladesh   6   Matt Priddis   2
Kenya   6   Rory Sloane   1
NSW/ACT   6   Lance Franklin   7


Draft 3 lost half its partcipants (4). Probably worth noting that Geelong and Carlton have been way down this year, but Freo are up.

Drafts 1, 2, 4 and 6 each lost 3 teams.

Amazingly, Draft 5 had nobody eliminated:

Remember, the Dogs were meant to suck and we weren't even sure if Essendon were going to have players…

The 8 teams are currently ranked in its continent      
   Rank   Wins
Victoria   2   3
South Africa   4   2
New York   7   1
Argentina   6   1
United Kingdom   4   2
Greece   7   1
China   8   0
Israel   4   1


What about within the draft? If you had the #1 pick, were you more likely to stay in?

.... early indicators say no.

Team   Draft   First draft   Pick taken
Turkey   1   Tom Rockliff   1
Kenya   6   Rory Sloane   1
Spain   3   Joel Selwood   2
Ethiopia   4   Todd Goldstein   2
Bangladesh   6   Matt Priddis   2
Ukraine   2   Steele Sidebottom   3
New Zealand   3   Bryce Gibbs   3
Canada   4   Oliver Wines   3

NSW/ACT   6   Lance Franklin   7
South Korea   1   Brett Deledio   8
South Australia   4   Jack Steven   8

Qld/NT Still in for some unknown reason. - Struggled each week without No 2 draft pick Pearce Hanley and underperforming defenders but somehow survived with NSW getting more total points than I did. .

[kilbluff1985]

Victoria had pick 6 in our draft so think we have done very well

[Ricochet]

Last pick in one of the weakest drafts, second most total points 8)

[LaHug]

I had no issue in Draft 3 ;)

[R.Griffen]

When I grab Stef Martin at pick 15 (end of second round) just makes my job easier 

[LF]

Took a risk that he would play a few matches but good thing is he hasn't missed one yet so Cam McCarthy was a bit of a steal at round 10 pick 77
