Re: Mock Draft?

Lets aim for 3 rounds.. Would you like to post the draft order so that people can see how many picks they have.

why not make it 4 rounds thats roughly what a draft is

No problem, do you want a separate thread for that or have it just posted here?

Keep it going on this one.

I didn't want it to drag on but I suppose 3 or 4 rounds won't make a lot of difference.

Re: Mock Draft?

I'm happy to organise that if we think that is the best way.

SS is just upset that I got in early for Port

I'm happy for the lottery to go ahead if that is what others would prefer.


GVGjr, is it worth putting a thread in the main unleashed forum so that it might catch a few others' eyes?

Re: Mock Draft?

I'll have a go.

Why don't we simply have a random draw for teams?

I'm happy to organise that if we think that is the best way.

Do we want to stick with the current Clubs and nominated people or do we want a random draw?

Whilst it's scheduled to start on Monday evening, I'll set up the thread and add a few tips to keep the thread moving on Sunday evening.

Just some tips that I will add to the Mock Draft thread are:

- Whoever has Melbourne and Richmond etc can start naming their players beforehand.

- To keep this moving, name your selection when it's your turn and post it straight away.
You can then write up a brief (or not so brief) reason why you selected that player in a separate post within the thread. This will really speed up the process in later rounds.

- There is plenty of mock drafts posted around the internet so by all means use these resources if needed.

- At the end of the draft, collate you selections and provide an overview from your nominate clubs perspectives.

If anyone can think of other tips to help this along, list them here so I can add them to the official draft thread on Sunday evening.

The State League forum gets a lot of our registered people visiting but feel free to start a thread on Unleashed linking it to this thread.

I think sticking with the current format is a little easier. Personally I know some lists better than I do others and I am sure (for example) Griffen#16 is better served at drafting for an Adelaide side than myself. Especially as we're doing a 3-4 round draft.

Re: Mock Draft?

I was reluctant to enter as I really didn't know who was who in the zoo, but now, count me in.

AFL website has a great draft thingy, where you key in relevant data & it selects players for you to chose.

As an example, I selected Western Bulldogs. I then clicked midfielder, then clicked medium height with the following skills: Kicking Ability, Handpassing Awareness, Pace & Endurance & it gave me the top 10 with those qualities.

Might make life a bit easier.

What team am I?

If a recruiter is not available for all or part of the process he should give his selections to a stand in recruiter and have a number of back up selections in case the one he wants gets taken earlier.

Yep, having a list of players in order of who you want first is a good idea to help keep it moving.




Are we still aiming for tomorrow night as our starting point?

That's still the plan however, those who have Melbourne, Richmond and Fremantle can kick kick off their selections before the start time.

I'll start the thread this afternoon with the rules, draft order and who's assigned as the recruiting manager.
Can somebody update the current list?

Re: Mock Draft?

Adelaide - Griffen#16 (To be confirmed)***
Brisbane - GVGjr (Unless someone else wants the Lions)
Carlton - gogriff
Collingwood - The Doctor
Essendon - The Bulldogs Bite
Fremantle - The Coon Dog (To be confirmed)***
Geelong - bulldogsman
Hawthorn - GVGjr
Melbourne - Happy Days
North Melbourne - comrade
Port Adelaide - Griffen#16
Richmond - Jasper (To be confirmed)*** (Confirmed)
St. Kilda - gogriff
Sydney - The Doctor
West Coast - Sockeye (To be confirmed)*** (Confirmed)
Western Bulldogs - dogs_r_barking


Waiting on confirmation from:
Jasper
TCD
SS

Collingwood and Brisbane still without a home.

[GVGjr]

Re: Mock Draft?

GVG and TCD both still without a side, so that leaves 5 additional sides without a manager according to what I can see.

I'm happy to take any of the sides currently without a recruiting manager but I'll nab Hawthorn as well.
Jasper contacted me before and said he can take any left over side. He wouldn't mind the Tigers because he will be on the forum again this evening and if Happy Days kicks starts his selections we can have a few picks completed before Monday evening.

If TCD takes over Fremantle (dirty job but somebody has to do it) and I take West Coast (or vice-a-versa) then we have the early order sorted out.

Anyone interested in looking after two sides?

Griff, I think you looked after both SA sides last year so perhaps if there is no more takers you can do double duty again? The Bulldogs Bite or Doc might as well.
