Put me down for it if there's room. I miss drafting.

Edit: just seen Betty's message now and didn't realise picking had started .... i don't RAWK as much as I used to

All good, added to go after Trend :)

Let Sir Sexy go 14th if you want Hazell...  I am in and out, enjoying making two picks at once and live in the US (times being different). 

No problem going 15th/16th...  but would not be arsed if things stay the way they are too.

Discuss amongst yourselves.

Ask him which one he wants --- offer him the world at 14 if he wants to slip the queu + 1 or the caboose looking at the horizon of a new drafting dawn.

I think once Betty goes and waits the required time, then draft can flow again.

Elizabeth PMd me to say it was my turn. Have a pick in mind who isn’t Brazilian or Argie. Figured there’s tons of them and I’ve always quite liked Jo.

Well out Nick!  Luis is looking rather erect.   The noise in Moyes' head after that one, all he could do was laugh.

Heading out for an hour or two... Uncertain over my pick(s) - so have Sir Sexy take the 14th slot.  Should be back in 2 hours.

Good pick Lobo, I'll always remember that mad goal he scored when he dribbled box to box. Was hoping he'd remain into the next round, but is probably one of the few genuine world class footballers Africa has produced so makes sense he'd go early. I was torn between him and Zico.
