I might slap a draft selection thingy together tonight just in case the draft doesn't get shifted. I've only ever done dreamteam, this should be a bit more interesting.

For people who haven't played before - if you don't attend the draft it will order your picks based on what UF projects player average scores to be this year, and it will ensure you have position coverage. It's not ideal but I did it for this comp last year and I think I made the GF. But at the very least it's a good idea to put long-term injured players at the bottom of the list.

I hope I remember to set a pre-draft order tomorrow during the day, otherwise it's going to be a hilarious mess.

That happened to me, I got a team full of old folk and somehow finished 3rd (I think?) so imo set Fletcher as number 1 and let the good times roll.

If no one else joins by midnight tonight, I'm locking it at 12 teams - otherwise the draft can't go ahead with odd number of teams until we get 14.

Well I went through my pre-draft list and put all of Essendon at the bottom with the injured players, and pushed down a bunch of players I don't like for reasons (Gibbs being one).

Alright 12 teams are locked in for Ultimate Footy, draft is staying same time/date unless anyone else has objections.

This is probably the first draft time I can actually make since that ill-fated supercoach draft where people were getting skipped over and 1 guy basically just kept getting pick after pick ... which was pretty hilarious in how broken it was.

The herald sun draft one was a total mess, glad we're never going to do that again. This is a ~much~ better alternative.

So I guess I mistook when the draft was, because I've missed all of it.

Looks like the machine picked utter poo poo for me, is there any reason to bother playing still?

Because of the small lists you can probably salvage just by being diligent picking up blokes who come from nowhere. Get yourself a team of Michael Barlows

Well the upside for me is that I only lose one player if ASADA actually bans players...
The downside is Tom Liberatore.

Got home from Ikea just in time to see pick 12 fly by; took over, then just before I selected Cooney, while desperately trying to boost someone else above him in my wishlist, Adam internet cut out for 10 minutes, so by the time I got my phone off wifi and logged in that one was gone. Then the time desynched and it auto selected a 4th ruckman for me while I was trying to take Langdon as a back.

This is going to take some doing to salvage, since the stupid machine also burned my third pick on Brad Crouch, who is out for a good 6 rounds.

My on field team doesn't look too shabby with what I landed with but pretty much my entire bench are all injured. Thanks NAB challenge!
