Is everyone on board with keeping L3 as is, but consider it unofficial and just “whatever” - and get a new draft going but just replacing CNK with Welshy?

Alternatively if someone else on here wants to join and will be active we could create a new L3 without Welshy so we have 10 unique players.

Happy to do a non league draft for second teams just for fun as well (because I know you want to draft again regardless of competition Welshy )

I'm happy to do it again, though ideally we'd find a block of a couple hours where we can all be on and do all our picks in one night.

Yeah I suppose that’s a fair point. I have no doubts we’ll get it done by the start of the season, I guess I’m just getting frustrated with the slow pace...

Iron mike is probably right, CNK/Flamingo (if anyone knows who it is could they tag him?) will eventually turn up and we’ll get a nice wriggle on.

FWIW I’m available most nights to sit down for a couple of hours and finish it off.

Oooph. That’s my favourite team I’ve seen from L1 thus far. Look at those centres

Yeah I don’t know the username, maybe a tag would mean he gets an email and comes online?

We got thru about 16 picks in 2 hrs around lunchtime the other day, so if he gets on board it should move quick.

Funny thing is, as I was going to bed I was looking to offer you Johnston for Teddy as a laugh, but I don't think trades were available at that stage, or at least I couldn't figure it out!

@Enchanted Glossy Flamingo

is the flamingo I think you're chasing.

Yep, I've mostly been using PC where possible.

Thanks, I'm very happy with it. Middle is weak. When I was prepping for draft I worked out there was a million middles who could score 50+, but I miscalculated. I originally thought it was an 8 player league and when I realised it was 10 players I went back a counted them thinking there was still plenty without paying too much attention to how many had dpp and would be picked for other positions. Anyway, my three middles have a bit of upside potential and should go okay.

I thought a similar thing with middle (so made it a lower priority);
10 players * 3 Middles = 30 middles.

There's basically 4 players with a 60ish+ average:
Haas, Taumalolo, Carrigan and Yeo (close enough)

3 of those are anticipated to have a drop in average due to implied reduced minute roles in '21.

Then you pretty much have the next 26 Middles all likely to average between 45-55 (so no real urgency IMO)

I think for any new drafts it'd be a good idea to get everyone in a fb group chat so people can be tagged/alerted when its their turn.

The app still shows I'm missing an edge player.

Or just get on a big Discord call so we can shit talk each other while picking

Yeah that’s a go

Facebook group still a good idea in general, but for those who love the banter the discord is the play

Also thanks for the tag @mulvy

And Crichton (despite me using him as an edge)

This is true, but in Draft it's hard to imagine not using him at Edge.
3 edge players over 60: Crichton, Harris, Matto
3 more at about 55+: Frizzel, TPJ, Fifita

After player 8 it drops to a slightly uninspiring collection of 46'r averages (Nikora, Ciro, RFM, Lane, Martin), and the rest below 45 (albeit some with upside potential)
