After picking a FB who was luckless with the ultimate success I'm turning to a midfielder who, if he'd had a small change in fortune, he'd have been a dual Brownlow medallist, premiership winning midfielder but alas he's neither of those things.

Ooh, great get. One of my favourites to watch growing up.
Pick 92 - Windrunners - Jacob Weitering
Has been clearly one of the best KPDs for the last 5 years and unlucky to not yet have an AA jacket… still he’s just 26 years of age and has half his career still ahead of him so this pick is based on him not only being the best performing KPD available but also projected to be in the upper echelon by the end of his career as well, if not already.
4 x in the AA “squad”
2 x club B&F

Weitering I considered at my last pick. In the end I decided Sicily had more elite seasons in the bank and an overall career rebounding/intercepting profile slightly ahead. Weitering the stronger actual defender - especially the last two seasons where his 1v1 loss % has gone from the 20/30s down to single digits. Of course he also takes the best forward week in, week out so is a genuine anchor. A great pick up for sure.
P.S I think your team is building up very nicely indeed.

Nah. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Not really, unless you work in an office and have nothing on weekends. 8 hours is fine
Yes he picked Sam Walsh
In your opinion. Which isn't consensus. Who doesn't have a smart phone and a meal break, and who can't send a few picks if they think they will be offline 8h during the action-heavy periods? Losing a whole afternoon/night for one person is sub-optimal, look what happened when it could open up - we flew through picks and advanced the game.
Let's say 8am through to 11pm are the "active hours". A 4h time limit means there are 3-4 different time periods (morning, work day, after work, before bed) through the day where people can try and get online if they think their pick may be on the horizon.
8h is quite restrictive if pick 100 thinks pick 99 may select someone at 8am, but the clock expires at 4pm. And then the same thing could happen with pick 102 who is in bed when pick 101's clock expires (for example).
I just think we're a lot more likely to get through 10+ picks (or even a full round) every day with a 4h time limit as opposed to having slower days.
And sending 5 picks if you know you'll be off for 8+ hours in the "active period" isn't a big deal.
