Thanks folks for a very enjoyable night.

Great to see you all there and to catch up (a bit anyway).
What is a draft without Andy throwing his weight around , Croz in a tizz about his team , Shannon picking up more oldies and me having a brain fade or two (I wish I drank - then I could blame it on the booze ).

Jase, you looked very comfortable out the back there and even Bec looked at home - despite the daggers she was giving me for taking her "boys". BTW - you can have Didak - we'll talk!

Graeme acted like a cocky prick - but has every right to be when most, if not all, of his draft picks were simply to fill the reserve benches.

This must be the season where we use the board to trade. As per my suggestion earlier - if we use the board, or text messaging or even paper, it must be verified by the current exec - who need to be re-elected. I hear Banger wants to take on a position?!?

Well summed up Gerry. Unfortunately i couldn't stay until the end. For me fantasy football is a great way to stay in touch with friends and having a bit of a laugh. After all, time is becoming more precious for all of us and we need to value the time we can share together. I think if we embrace this and remember why we established this game and not get so tied up in the formalities of the competition it will continue being a great game. Well done to Croz and yourself for all the hard work. Now let the bullshit begin!

holy fuck hero on board
Though maybe you were

No Macca i won't lay down and die. Even if i only have 28 players on board. By the way why do you have such a large leadership group? Too many cooks, I say. Maybe you should pass one of them my way.

I choose to share the load as to name one simply puts pressure on that one player.
Matthew Lloyd as captain? Hmmmm....someone living in 2001?
Where are your young leaders?
I mean, you did 'dick me' for Alwyn Davey...why not name the lil fella?

Come on Macca. Like the Midnight Oil song- Short Memory. Do i need to mention big Gairgy, Farmer for Licker, The Dal Santo Debacle, just to name a few.

Not to forget you signing over Pavlick to me whilst at the Waterfront Hotel...only to renege when we came back to reality and you had to 'officially' sign a trade form.

I do however recall selling you a "50 goal forward" in Clint Bizzell.

I'd say we are relatively even.

Especially those approaching retirement.

I must have covered it well then cause I felt very unprepared compared to last season's draft. I didnt do nearly enough research and I think my picks show that.

But yes it was great to catch up with everyone and to prepare for another great season of FF.
