Wow - moving quick, thought I'd have until the weekend to sort myself out.  I'll have a look at things tonight.

don't think clock actually starts ticking until website comes back up. 

Terrible, I figured the first few picks would go quickly. Is all good, the clock isn't ticking yet and you will get an email before it starts ticking on you :)

Have a look tonight? Hell...I'm throwing a dart at the list and going from there. 

If that's what you did last year, I'm off to buy a dart board.

Not even a proper one - it was a velcro one.

My strategy last year was actually "I know nothing about this sport except what positions score lots of points-ish" so I'll set up my draft to fill those first. Seems simple, is simple, will get me in trouble later.

Indeed was definitely a team for the first few seasons, but so long as you get some good youngsters you'll be ok. Maybe look to trade for some youngsters in season 2 :D

Because I'm a Grandpa I'm off to bed now (Pretty shattered was awake around 3:30 this morning)

5. Rammtallica Billikids

6. Naenae Tegal

7. Fairfield Fairies

8. Nialls Paul

And then I pick 9th so you won't be able to go any further without me :P
