It was a hard choice but I had settled on this pick a while ago and the Blitz stats wont change it.. so may as well get it out of the way.

With the first pick I am going with...

Cedric Jackson.

Can't wait to see what is left for me down at 16 & 17!

Well that makes me happy.

With my 1st pick, I will take Daniel Johnson.

Well no surprises so far with picks one and two! I think there are a few candidates for pick three but in the end I'm going with my best player from last season: welcome back Kevin Lisch!!!

4th Pick, 32nd overall ... Cameron Tovey

Damn was also targeting either Tovey or Sav. In the absence of a clear winner I'm gonna take a flyer on Jason Cadee

Should be a G/F but I'll nervously take him anyway.

I'll keep my Blaze connection alive and grab Bubbles from the Tigers

Canberra Choke selects Anthony Petrie..

Matthew Burston

Skip, it has been 12 hours since my last pick. Does flinders have another 12 hours to make their next pick or can I make my next pick now?

Sorry guys I actually did my picks before going to bed from my phone. Looks like they didn't take

With picks 40 and 41 Flinders80 selects

He gets 12 hours per pick, so 24 hours. But you may pick now. :-)

hey Xztatik, not the best place to ask but did you make an nbl dream team this season and put it in the hoops league?

Hey Ingles, yeah I've only jumped in the league Skip sent me so far, is that the one you're talking about? If so, I'm Sam.

Is there space in that league? if so, please post the league code, as i'm in a different hoops one

Full up! Is there space in yours?

Canberra Choke selects CJ Bruton.

Lets go with Auryn MacMillan

nup, no space :(

Ingles & X, if you need a league to join, there is one that I am in. There is only 2 of us at them moment but the league number is 544496. Invite anyone you like too.

Might as well...

Graeme Dann

Too late to dispute positions now. They were sent our a while ago to discuss.

fair call was picking him anyway

Every time I see another post I think someone has been picked so check and then just chit chat :O(

I would like to see the hit count for views on this thread haha..

TR - Same as guys in League 2. You are stuck with Forte until the draft is completed. You may then desist if you wish.

I *(#king hate picking &%$*ing imports. I don't think I've ever had an import last more than 5 god damn &*#king weeks.....&%$*

Skip, you've just done that so I have to pick Michael 'Spud chucker' Cedar........ &(#$* (@*()@#

but I ain't........

Canberra Choke select Everard Bartlett

Hmmm.... Canberra Choke line up

C: Trigger
F: Seth Scott
F: Oscar Forman
G: CJ Bruton
G: Ben Madgen

Bench:
G: Everard Bartlett
F: D*ckface that was once with the Crocs

I Really dont know why but Ill take Trueman from the Cats

Mick Cedar

Unlucky TR, thought you might have given him the kiss od death when you drafted him.

I was thinking the exact same thing DB.. I didn't think it would take less than 12 hours to happen..

LOL TR you've definitely got the kiss of death! I'm gonna take Tommy Greer

I am loading up on 36ers players it would seem.

There is only 1 week though that they don't play and 4 weeks where they play twice.

The Chelsea Daggers sign Nathan Crosswell

8th Pick, 64th overall ... Aaron Grabau
9th Pick, 65th overall … Dillon Boucher

In other news, all of the C capable players are now gone, I was hoping to pick up one of them here but looks like I have missed out (Pero doesn't help me - he is on the same team as Schensch) So here is hoping for an injury free season from Schenscher and I will wear the 0 the week Adelaide have a bye OR someone might be able to make me a trade offer to help me out.

So.. ATTENTION ALL OWNERS!!
Not sure if we need to wait for the the draft to be over before trade talk starts but keep me in mind..

The Chelsea Daggers sign Kevin Braswell with their 9th pick

TR are you interested in my first waiver and what might you give for it.

Flinders - if I read Skip's e-mails right, I don't believe your waiver is until number 5. TR's is 2.

Having said that, my pick number 1 in the waiver wire is up for grabs for the right player. (I am still interested in Daniel Johnson Skip.) Otherwise, I might just hang on to it to see who the new import is!

Can't even spell my name right!!! Doh!

Waiver Wire order

1 - Flinders80
2 - Lockie
3 - TR
4 - Statman
5 - Xztatik
6 - Beantown
7 - skip
8 - alexkrad

CORRECTION - As emailed out on August 13, the Waiver Order is the reverse of the lottery draw.

1 - Lockie
2 - TR
3 - Statman
4 - Xztatik
5 - Flinders80
6 - skip
7 - alexkrad
8 - Beantown

Canberra Choke selected Leon Henry

Nate Tomlinson.

to true skip and lockie, I'm getting everything wrong lately.

Anyway with picks 72 and 73 Flinders80 select

The Daggers take Chris Cedar with thier final pick.


Leaves either Kevin White or a Dev player for alexkrad.

The Hackers are in the unenviable position where the coach has today called a meeting where he will be introduced to his players and in some cases have to ask questions such as "where have you played before and what position do you normaly play"

The front office is already hitting the media with the "it will take time to gel" and "its a marathon not a sprint" lines in anticipation of a slow start to the season, but the players are confident that their new environment will allow them to shine and show the reast of the league what they can do.

Bring on the season!

C Ian Crosswhite
C/F Daniel Johnson (c)

Pretty good squad there Skip, Id be happy with that as a real team in the league!

Would have proffered my 10th guy to be another forward.

But overall, Im happy.
