Yep

Ok better pick a Zimbabwe player missed the boat on Bangladesh they can be my 12th man.

Heath Streak 90s - quality international all rounder and arguably their second best test player ever.

I was going to go Steyn on the MCG, but instead I will get my Sri Lankan player done as well, and go for a man with over 10,000 runs Mahela Jayawardene given debut doesn't matter I will take him as 2010s.

Well I call foul Purple7x08_24. I'm assuming since tagging me was the edit you made to your post since I didn't get a notification yesterday and now I've missed a player I wanted.

I definitely tagged you. Whatwhat said he had a problem with the AFL draft thread.

In terms of the 8 hours I posted it before we got started but added it to first post later so everyone could see it. Apologies

yeo, the tagging works intermittently via email and never on the app

i don't understand why the app doesn't seem to work for notifications at all - very poor for a product that relies upon repeat engagement

 

[whatwhatsaywhat]

also Purple7x08_24 can you please put the 'rules' into the sticky post?

and change my home ground to bellerive oval - stuff the sponsorship agreement, they ain't paying me enough

the rules are in post #2, not sticky to the top of every page like the draft order / teams spreddy

 

[Purple7x08_24]

Soggy2112 not sure if you are aware you have another pick as we're doing a snake draft.

 

[Purple7x08_24]

Damnit, a player I really like would be great for my team but has performed quite mediocre in Australia

 

[Soggy2112]

Soggy2112 not sure if you are aware you have another pick as we're doing a snake draft.

Apologies, at the footy and reception is poor where I am.

You live on bay13 then you can die by bay13.
You can't start or even message in PM's I believe while banned so how can Plugger even make his pick by proxy?

I stand by what I said

You know what. Go for it. There needs to be a contingency plan in place for people who have infractions. If their infraction extends past the due date then they pass their pick until they come online and they have to pick who's available.

If for some reason someone is indefinitely suspended I think we can find a replacement.
