Ive joined Division 2 - Garston Gridirons.

Im only clued up on NFL.Com rules so will have to read up a bit.

Was anyone actually

a) at the draft?
b) got it to work?

For some reason the date didn't change to later in the week as i wanted so it looks like everyone is screwed unless you were there and i know at least 7 teams who weren't.

If everyone gott screwed and couldn't/didn't enjoy it, i can see if we can reset it. The 2 new members didn't even go through before the draft so one had Travis Henry as a keeper for god's sake!!!

Let me know and once again, i apologise.

I was in the draft room and had queued approx 30 players and was in the process of sorting them in order of selection when the draft began. Seeing as I had the last but one pick in the 1st rd I should have had plenty of time to sort them and still make my 1st selection. But no sooner had the draft started the the room decided to freeze and by the time I'd managed to get back in it had auto picked my first pick for me Santonio Holmes $:-\$ and I just managed to get back in time to actually make my 2nd rd pick.

It was crazy having just 30 seconds per pick, particularly as there was only something like 3 or 4 owners in there, the whole draft was over in under 15 minutes.

Aside from the number of Wk8 byes I've ended up with I can live with what I've got, but as you say there's one team with Henry as a keeper plus the likes of Tom with Crabtree and you with your suspended kicker.

daddymac · « **Reply #85 on:** September 1, 2009, 10:59:50 pm »

Well lets see what other people think but a do over might be best for everyone but if there are strong opinions not to then we won't.

Effes · « **Reply #86 on:** September 2, 2009, 03:30:02 pm »

To be honest - I cant see the point in participating in a league where you haven't picked the
players yourself.

Tom_B · « **Reply #87 on:** September 2, 2009, 03:34:00 pm »

I would be up with doing Fleaflicker from scratch, think it would be more fun.

StevenLFC · « **Reply #88 on:** September 2, 2009, 05:56:58 pm »

I don't know how others feel about losing their keepers, but how about just removing the current league and starting over? That draft was poor - with the freezing & 30 sec picks, I only made 1 pick myself - the rest were autos.

I would do it myself, as long as everyone was going to do the league properly and not drop out after a couple of weeks.

Terry_Tibbs · « **Reply #90 on:** September 2, 2009, 07:53:18 pm »

My two penny worth: I'm more than happy to re-run the draft again, it was a farce, but I personally wouldn't want to ditch the league and keepers if I'm honest. At least re-running the draft again allows the new comers to set their keepers and hopefully we'd have more than 30 seconds to select a pick.

bryanod · « **Reply #91 on:** September 3, 2009, 12:39:29 am »

No way to re-starting it.

As i said it in, I at least got a couple of players because I pre-ranked them but I guess will have to give them up if people strongly want it.

Tom_B · « **Reply #92 on:** September 3, 2009, 12:40:32 am »

I am happy with Cooley I must be honest.

So I am easy either way.

mjgill85 · « **Reply #93 on:** September 3, 2009, 09:20:55 am »

Yahoo draft is tonight at 9pm

filopastry · « **Reply #94 on:** September 3, 2009, 11:39:35 am »

Obviously I'd be perfectly happy to ditch the keepers given mine were all shit

Yes it is indeed!

I assume the Yahoo draft is full?

bryanod · « **Reply #97 on:** September 3, 2009, 04:15:06 pm »

Are you not in it already? if we can get up to 16 i'd open it again but its 12 at the moment yeh.

Unless anyone wants out beforehand either.

filopastry · « **Reply #98 on:** September 3, 2009, 04:20:08 pm »

No I was only in the fleaflicker league, mind you finishing last in 1 league a season is probably enough for me

bryanod · « **Reply #99 on:** September 3, 2009, 10:25:45 pm »

Ha forget my own draft due to work! Typical!!

I almost forgot it! Managed to get for about round 4, but by that point Brady was ranked as my first choice, and I got him in round 1, so after that I wasn't too arsed!!!

Yeah cheers day after the draft you pull out.

daddymac · « **Reply #103 on:** September 5, 2009, 12:54:14 pm »

Right after looking on Fleaflcker and on here - i think we need to redraft.

I propose each team keeps maybe 2-3 keepers, i'll wipe the rosters and we hold a draft before season start (THURSDAY!)

Thoughts?

Terry_Tibbs · « **Reply #104 on:** September 5, 2009, 01:02:14 pm »

Happy to re-draft if that's the general concenus from everyone else but not I'm happy at losing that many keepers if I'm being honest. I know there needs to be a compromise for those who have just joined the league but it also needs to be fair to those that have been about for the past few years. Looking at everyone's rosters making it say for example a maximum of 6 keepers still puts some good talent back into the draft pot.

bryanod · « **Reply #105 on:** September 6, 2009, 12:44:24 am »

Dunno if happy if doing a compelte restart, agree with the above really. Worked damn hard to get 8 solid keepers over the last couple years

Tom_B · « **Reply #106 on:** September 6, 2009, 01:06:59 pm »

Set my 2 keepers. Coulda done with 4 really.

Gonna be interesting now.

filopastry · « **Reply #107 on:** September 6, 2009, 01:07:43 pm »

I'd struggle to find 2 in my outfit

daddymac · « **Reply #108 on:** September 6, 2009, 01:13:02 pm »

With light of the above posts - how about 4 then?

Draft on Wed night?

bryanod · « **Reply #109 on:** September 6, 2009, 02:11:09 pm »

6 at a minimum, otherwise its pretty much just a normal draft and i have so many of them i dunno if bothered doing another.

Wed is a bit late too.

Hierro · « **Reply #111 on:** September 6, 2009, 03:44:52 pm »

Happy to go with what you guys want. Let me know when the Draft is if you're going to re-do it all.

daddymac · « **Reply #112 on:** September 6, 2009, 04:13:21 pm »

Ok changed to 6.

tomorrow night?

Tom_B · « **Reply #113 on:** September 6, 2009, 04:23:32 pm »

Done my keepers.

Not sure how it will work for people who can't change theirs though. Isn't Imperator on holiday?

Hierro · « **Reply #114 on:** September 6, 2009, 05:03:46 pm »

Can't do tomorrow night. Fine for Tuesday though.

Can we keep the number of Keepers low? My roster is abysmal, and there's probably 3 people I'd like to keep.

Hierro · « **Reply #115 on:** September 6, 2009, 05:16:18 pm »

Quote from: Terry_Tibbs on September 6, 2009, 05:14:01 pm

Just keep the 3 then, you don't have to keep 6.

The point is, I'll still be picking shite players because everyone else will be keeping 6. It's a shame that the keeper rules aren't so that you have to give up early round Draft choices for your keepers.

Indeed to be honest it would take a few season under current rules to make my team vaguely competitive with 6 keepers, even the early draft spot isn't a massive advantage given its first and last pick in alternate rounds.

I don't mind doing it but doesn't tend to make it a particularly interestign season when your squad is as fucked up as mine is!

bryanod · « **Reply #117 on:** September 6, 2009, 05:33:19 pm »

Pity we can't just keep to the original idea of a KEEPER league.

Have 10 players i would like to keep, have drafted over 80% of my players. If yoou've been in since the start, you really can't complain. I even got Vick autodrafted two years ago....

If you wanna do two its fine but I will probably give up my team then.

Hierro · « **Reply #118 on:** September 6, 2009, 05:44:01 pm »

To be fair Bryan, I haven't and have only recently taken over the team. I'm just after a bit of help in trying to be competitive. My best RB is Chris Wells, my best WR is probably Eddie Royal. I've even got Correll sodding Buckhalter on the roster, that some arse drafted in the 4th round of the Draft!!!!

As I said I'm happy enough to do it, just means I'll have to spend a few years drafting potential and ignoring the fact I come last or thereabouts every season, nobody's fault but my own I know.

Mind you i'm also happy enough to stay with the results of the draft we already made !

Just a shame I missed out on the normal draft for the other league
