  1. Spanna_
  2. Bryce_Jersey17
  3. craegus
  4. caloschwaby
  5. PeanutButter Pies
  6. Silvacomet
  7. Bacon Warrior
  8. Just Kick It

  22. magpienato
  23. The Victorian
  24. Cosimo
  25. ScottFreo
  26. SparkleNarkle
  27. Kangas_11

Each person will, in draft order, select a location and colour from the lists below. Once that location/colour is gone, nobody else may choose it.

Notes on Location selection:

We had 27 entrants, which means i've separated major cities into regions, apart from Brisbane which is split up in the south east Queensland region with Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast anyway.

You don't have to use the name of the location you select. If you select "Melbourne Western", you don't have to be the Melbourne Western Dingoes or whatever, you can call your team whatever you like, provided it fits inside your location. If you pick Sydney Beaches, you can be called Bondi or Cronulla for example. Also, Adelaide Suburban could still just be "Adelaide" and Perth North could still use the name "Perth".

The location list is as follows:

Canberra ACT - Freight Train
Newcastle NSW - just_kick_it
Sydney Beaches NSW - El_Scorcho
Sydney City NSW - craegus
Western Sydney NSW - Bryce_Jersey17
Wollongong NSW - Barrybran
Central Coast NSW - Klim
Darwin NT - kdavva74
Brisbane Qld - Silvacomet
Cairns Qld - Kangas_11
Gold Coast Qld - cannavo
Sunshine Coast Qld - SparkleNarkle
Townsville Qld - muggsy26
Adelaide SA - fancyscum
Adelaide (Suburban or Beaches) SA - _Damo_
Hobart Tas - DYLANROO18
Launceston Tas - magpienato
Ballarat Vic - Cosimo
Bendigo Vic - Fizzler
Geelong Vic - The Half Back
Melbourne City Vic - caloschwaby
Melbourne West/North Vic - PeanutButter Pies
Melbourne East/South Vic - PhenomenalV1
Fremantle WA - ScottFreo
Perth North WA - Spanna_
Perth South WA - The Victorian
Mandurah WA - Bacon Warrior

The colours available are as follows:

Black 1 - Spanna_
Black 2 - Silvacomet
Black 3 - Klim
Black 4 - The Victorian
Navy 1 - Bryce_Jersey17

Teal - PhenomenalV1
Brown - kdavva74


Notes on the Draft:

We have 27 drafters starting with Spanna_

You have 24 hours to make your pick, after which it goes to the next person on the list. If you don't pick within that timeframe and people after you on the list start making selections, you can select whenever you get to the thread.

If you mess up a selection ie pick something that has already been selected, your entire pick of both colour and location is invalid and you'll be required to pick again from whatever is remaining when you realised you've messed up.

When you have drafted, can you please tag the next person on the list so they are aware it's their pick. I'll periodically repost the list of what is remaining in each category, but the onus is on you to ensure that what you're selecting is still available and your pick is valid.

I'll fairly adjudicate on any disputes, but it's pretty straightforward.

Last in the draft is gonna be a blessing with the location because I'm indecisive AF, but I have a horrendous feeling I'm gonna be stuck trying to work with brown.
 
Oh boy! First choice. So much variety... Where do I start...

To be honest, I can't really go past the home city, so I'm going to do "Perth North" with Black as the main colour. Thinking splashes of green and gold as secondary colours. Name is still TBD. Possibly Dugites.

I think I’ll go with my home town for once, Western Sydney. I’ll take on Navy with probably traces of blue and orange. Name is also TBD, but the logo may or may not have the three sisters featuring.

craegus

Sydney is going to be very blue.

Sydney City
Navy (likely Lime green and white as secondary colours)
Harbour City Fleet

The Cleveland Browns can make brown work to some extent so there is hope

Been number of great brown designs on the board. Don_Kay with Brunswick, Dylan8 with Mendoza in CCRC, Bacon Warrior with Freo in FLO and Again with his Shrek based FFL entry.

Definitely doable to make a strong entry with brown as a base colour.
 
By primary colour (say I chose orange), does the kit have to be at least 50% orange, or just so much orange that it is more than any other colour?

Also Brisbane/GoldCoast/SunCoast are all different cities anyway

Too bad they can't make playing football work to any extent.

Very true, after looking into a few designs, there are a ton of solid kits out there using brown, Cleveland and Brunswick especially.

Considerably more comfortable if I end up with it now that I've looked a bit deeper.

Orange has to be the team's primary colour, so the coloured away uniform has to be visibly primarily orange. If you're not sure whether you've made it orange enough, send it to me to have a look.

If I were to take Newcastle, would it be too much of a stretch to name them Coffs Harbour?

It's pushing it. Almost like asking if you can call a team from Albury-Wodonga, Melbourne, or calling a team from Canberra, Sydney. Bit too far in my opinion, although it would be El_Scorcho's decision
