Thanks again Jay. One last question.

I have a Draft tonight at 8pm...first one. Just wondering when will we know what picks we have? Do they come out before the live draft starts? or when it begins?
The names of the 6 teams (up the top) were in an order yesterday but have changed today and I was wondering if that was the order of picks??? 

If you click on live draft the order there will be the draft order. That's if all members have joined of course :)

So under Live Draft, the names up the Top are in order of who picks when?

That's correct mate

Woo! Number 1! Ablett here I come haha

Now does it go...say if there are 6 teams...1,2,3,4,5,6,6,5,4,3,2,1,1,2,3,4,5,6....etc?

Yeah exactly. Snake draft format :)

Ahhh makes sense now! :) Any ideas for a strategy then??? :P
Thanks again Jay  8)

Strategy no.1, GET ABLETT :P

Lock up a gun mid as a VC. Then I focused on getting a premium ruck - remember DPP is very handy in this comp.

Then trade hard!

Sounds good. So:
Pick 1: Ablett
Pick 2: Premium Mid for VC
Pick 3: Ruck (Preferably Ruck/Fwd)
Pick 4: Def
Pick 5: Fwd or Ruck/Fwd???

Looks good to me but go with your gut :)

Hey Jay! Draft done. Would like your thoughts on my side:

Def: Duffield, Grimes, S.D.Thompson (Reilly)
Mids: Ablett, Danger, Tuck, Jack (A.Swallow)
Rucks: Roughy (Giles)
Fwds: Ryder, Hawkins, Bolton (de Boer)

Had Ryder in the rucks, but switched him with Roughy to fit the Bye structure. Currently:
R11: 4
R12: 6
R13: 5

How did I come out?

Love it mate. Wondering how you landed the Ryder and Roughy combo :o 3rd and 4th picks I presume?

I would start Reilly over ScottD and also Swallow over Tuck.

Now, get trading - it is not uncommon to pick up a steal or 2... Try and even up your by structure too! :)

Got Ryder for my 3rd pick and roughy for my 5th
Picked up Tuck almost dead last meaning all my mids on the field are over 600k (going by SC prices)
Wanted McEvoy instead of Giles but he got picked up ONE PICK BEFORE! But I think Giles will hold his own.

What are your thoughts on who I should look at getting? Any ideas?

Use Giles and Tuck as trade bait to get an average mid and a gun fwd. Not a fan of Bolton/De Boer

[JMAN23]

Deledio or Cotchin?

[tor01doc]

$10 he says Cotchin.  ;)

PS hi Jmen

[JMAN23]

hi tor01doc!
who would you go?

[tor01doc]

Dangerfield.

Cotchin.








Delusional - that's what this phone put in when I tried to write Deledio

[JMAN23]

So many decisions so little time!

[tor01doc]

Is there really still a week to go?!

[Jay]

Deledio or Cotchin?

Well if it isn't the other man of J... :P

Gave you a cheer for such a great name!

And now to the point... Cotchin easily. Will be consistent and has a higher ceiling than Deledio who probably peeked last year whereas Cotch is still climbing - expect him to lift now he has the captaincy.

Will never be as good as Danger though :)

[tor01doc]

Some J owes me a tenner.

[Jay]

Some J owes me a tenner.

Put it on my bill next time you see my doctor

hibberd or atley????

would you rather goldstein and franklin or jacobs and mcevoy?? Risk vs reward

Kane Lucas in carlton's best 22???

[Dooga]

With gaj, pendles, danger, hannebery, Lucas and rookies as my midfield, would you...

1. Have jpk or deledio and 70-50 thou spare cash
Or
2. Have mundy and Monfries up forward and no cash really

???

Hibberd

I dont get it? 1 ruck and 1 fwd vs. 2 rucks... I don't like Goldstein, so go the one that does not have him.

Yeah Lucas is in best 22. Really like him as M5
