Essendon Saga in British xv

[nostradamus]

Wednesday is fine. This draft should be over in a blink of the eye anyways.

[SydneyRox]

Can start on Wednesday if we like.  As per trade rules SR and Izander have 48 hrs to renegotiate their trade hence the wenesday start.  Both have top up picks as well so this is fair if we want to delay a little.

we are waiting on you as far as the proposed change?

[Ringo]

Now that final trades have been approved we will start the draft whenever Nige is ready.

Just read that so maybe we defer for a day or two to see if more announcements come.

[Ringo]

Now that final trades have been approved we will start the draft depending on further Top up players announced by Essendon.  Think we have to wait as rumoured players are Nathan Grima and Sam michael especially with like for like top up players.

[Nige]

Yeah, I guess we'll wait. Happy to pick whenever though.

[JBs-Hawks]

Can we just assume that Michael and Grima are picked and if they dont get signed the teams just get to re-pick?

[Nige]

I could probably just pick given that neither of them are who I'd be picking anyway.

Only tossing up between two mids.

[Ringo]

This draft now needs to be done.

So will open draft for Nigel to pick.  Bombers still have not selected 10th player so will go without for the draft.

Remember to PM next on list

[kilbluff1985]

do we just pick on here?

[Ringo]

Yep post in here sao we have a record of players we need to delist at end of year.

[Nige]

After much deliberation, James Kelly.

OP says he's M/F. I think he's M/D though?
