Phew.. I thought me lurking here every half an hour made it explode!

Hahhaha, Good job Commish!!

Alex - I thought I was the only one lurking and refreshing the site all the time, and it doesn't seem to make my picks any easier!!

With pick 32 I select Ron Dorsey from the Tigers
With pick 33 I select Anatoly Bose from the Kings

I will take Daniel Johnson.

CJ Bruton

Pick 36: James Harvey
Rolling the dice a bit here.

Hendo stole my player!!

With that in mind, and the 37th pick in the draft, I would like to welcome to the team...

Aaron Bruce of the Sydney Kings

how did this guy slip to 38th pick of the draft?

Anthony Petrie, F/C, GCB

I think he slipped because he is still rehabbing from an achilles injury

Pure Silk selects Matt Burston via SMS

Petrie was my next pick :o(

BRB scoping out the remaining centers

Didn't really want to use both my imports but ..

With pick 40 the Gothom City Bats choose Jerai Grant

With pick 41 the Gothom City Bats choose Cameron Tovey

Pure Silk selects Dusty Rychart vis SMS

Ill take CJ Jackson,import, NZB

With pick #44, I am pleased to announce that Dillon Boucher of the New Zealand Breakers has been drafted to the squad.

Pick 45: Ben Madgen
Slim pickings now.

To make it a little easier to find the player you are looking for in the Free Agent list at the top of the thread, I have moved the Development Players into their own group.

You are still welcome to draft one of them if you like though.

slim pickings indeed

Jesse Wagstaff

The man who had everyone at the HSH drooling K Ratsch please come on down.

Just a reminder that only Ox, Clarky & BJF have room for Imports now.

The other 5 you you have reached your 2 import limit.

Now we wait until 8:30 tomorrow morning.
The last 2 days have followed the same time schedule pretty much to the minute.
TJ picks at 8:30 ish, BJF picks pretty soon after, Flinders picks at about 12:30-1. I pick within half an hour. Then my second pick comes up right on my lunch break at 5:30. BJF picks at 9ish, then we wait until first thing the next morning.

try being pick 8/9 .. 14 picks inbetween mine! I wait and wait and then bang I need to wait again haha

At least at this rate, the draft should be done by Thursday. (Which is quite good)

Now is when we find out who has done their research and the real drafting kicks in.

Yeah I take my FBL Draft fibre to help keep me regular

Ill take Michael Cedar and Dave Gruber

you were about 3 mins off, Hendo, great call!

a starting guard this late in the draft?
welcome the Doc , the Ninja , Darren Ng

Just to confirm. Jacob Holmes cannot be drafted. Once the draft is over, you can attempt to pick him up as a Free Agent.

Tim Coenraad

Pick 52: Nathan Herbert G/F

C: Wilkinson Hudson Crosswhite
F: Wilkinson Saville Hudson Herbert
G: Saville Harvey Madgen Herbert

With Pick #53, I am proud to announce the selection of Alex Gynes, Guard/Forward for the Sydney Kings

Daryl Corletto

Pure Silk takes Daniel Dillon

With pick 56 the Gothom City Bats choose Wade Helliwell

With pick 57 the Gothom City Bats choose Rhys Martin

Pure silk takes Mitch Creek via sms.

Todd Blanchfield, TSV, F

I would like to introduce the next big man to join the roster, Alex Pledger of the New Zealand Breakers

dammit clarky :)

Pick 61: Lucas Walker
Almost took him last pick, so happy he's still available.

hahaha Flinders, I just realised that I only had 1 C on my roster, and he was the best available!!

Remember to not go over your player position limits too guys.

You are only allowed

3 players that can play centre
7 players that can play forward
6 players that can play guard

BJF, hendo8888, Ox - No more Centres for you guys.

TJ - You can only take 1 more forward with your remaining 3 picks.

Flinders80 has until 10:37am to make their pick.

BJF may then take their pick, Flinders80 can still make their pick at anytime from whoever is available at the time.

My 2nd import is Mike English

Brad robbins

TJ's Pick now.

BJF can pick in 25 mins. (at 11:34)
Another 12 hours spent waiting for TJ to pick.

TJ has 2 picks, so I'm afraid actually has another 12 hours.

For real? Sick of waiting for this guy.

off to bed my picks arent coming up any time soon

2 picks in 34 hours (assuming TJ picks at 8:30 like he only ever does).

thats ridiculous, if he doesnt go in 12 hrs, youve gotta move on. Any complaints he has have no leg to stand on.

If he hasn't selected by 11:34am, yes the draft continues on and TJ can make his selections at any time from the remaining players.

Boys i am in an appointment at 11:00 for an hour so will make my pick asap

BJF - You can email it through to me and I can do it for you.

Same goes for anyone else. One of the reasons the other draft went nice and quick as I had everyones mobile number and was able to text them when their pick came up. They would then either jump on or let me know who to pick for them.

Just hoping we can get some solid picks in before TJ finally arrives. If you hold up the draft for 24 hours, you deserve to be duly disadvantaged.

11:34 let's get this rolling.

TJ has now missed both his draft picks.
BJF may make his slection when ready.

Welcome to the team the savvy vet Nathan Crosswell

Jeff dowdell

Pick 68: Graeme Dann

Welcome to the team Tyson Demos of the Wollongong Hawks

Luke Cooper, SYD

ANNOUNCEMENT

Due to missing two picks and still after a day not having made any picks, as commissioner I have decided to revoke TJ's place in the FBL.

It was a requirement of joining the competition, that players be committed to the competition for the duration of the season. As commitment has not even been shown for the draft, I have decided to take this action.

As for everyone, the opportunity has been there to email/sms pick preferences if unavailable.

I did not want to have to go down this avenue, but as I put in quite a bit of time in setting this up and running it throughout the season, I also don't want my time wasted.

Isaac shall take over his team and can make his 2 pending selections at anytime.

fair call.

Rethinking some of my picks already is a bad sign.

C - Catron, Dowdell
F - Worthington, Catron, Wagstaff, Coenraad
G - Lisch, Crawford, Bruton, Robbins, Coenraad

What time does puresilk have left before I can pick?

1:27am

Ohhhhhh shiiiiiiiet! Isaac and Khazzouh join forces. Look out Elite league!

Isaac takes Greer and Cadee.

ok , i pick graubau from the taipans

With pick 72 the Gothom City Bats choose Jeremiah Trueman

With pick 73 the Gothom City Bats choose Mat Campbell

With my last pick i will take Ben Allen

drew williamson, PER

With my final pick in the draft, I am excited to welcome Andrew Warren of the Cairns Taipans

Pick 77: Benny Anthony
Managed to fill all but 1 guard position of the maximum squad size.

Starting 5:
C: Crosswhite
F: Wilkinson Hudson
G: Saville Harvey

Bench: Madgen Herbert Walker

Reserves: Dann Anthony

Overall I'm pretty happy with how my team turned out. Especially considering I passed on some players because I thought it was a reach to take them at that time, only to see them get taken in the next few picks. Here is my squad, plus my thoughts...

Squad
Damien Martin | G | Best PG in the league IMO
Mika Vukona | F | Good REB #'s, improved shot
Larry Davidson | C | 10+ REBS a game is expected
Chris Goulding | G | High expectations on him
Aaron Bruce | G | Good Preseason, solid stats
Dillon Boucher | F | Poor choice on reflection
Alex Gynes |F/G| Steal of the draft at #53
Alex Pledger | C | Needed a C not many options
Tyson Demos | G | Should have a good season
Andrew Warren* |F/G| Needed an import, best option

Daniel Jackson

Stephen Hoare - I hope you still get 6 boards a game

Isaac takes Lewis with his final pick.

Draft is now complete.

From 9am tomorrow, Free agents can be bid for using your waivers. Then all free agents that havn't been bid for become unrestricted at 9am Tuesday.

Please have a read through the rules you were emailed, to make sure you understand how it works.

Took a while, but we got there.
Reasonably happy with my team.
Kind of wish I didn't load up on my imports too early.
Looks like I might be in need of a replacement for Dann if Bogut is heading to Sydney.

Isaac with only the 1 centre is an interesting move. Khazzouh is great, but he has a couple byes.

BJF and Ox would be the favourites to be promoted at this stage I reckon.
