So let me get this straight, I spend 3 hours last night (from 8-11pm) trying to get onto the website with no success, then I find this morning that someone has decided to make random pick for me (Justin Poore), this is bullsh*t.

TO be honest I think I'm gonna drop out of this league, the website is a clusterf**k

Oh yeah, the draft has been designed be as fair as possible.

Think about it - would you rather 12th pick every time or 1st pick one round and 12th pick the next.

If you had 12th pick everytime, you would only miss out on 11 players. If you has first and then last - you would miss out on 23!

Over the whole 25 rounds of the draft, it evens out! If you get the rub of the green early thats your luck but inevitably, you need to pick the right players anyway...

I'm sorry mate but randomly picking the order every round is not fair at all because invariably you end up with some teams getting many more early picks than others.

The way to do it (which is what most fantasy sport sites do when drafting, I can't believe this site was created without this kind of research) is to simply make it a serpentine draft, so the order of the first round is created randomly, then the next round you pick the opposite and this alternates. For example, if you happen to get the first pick in round 1, then in round 2 you pick 12th (assuming there are 12 teams), then in round 3 you pick 1st, round 4 12th and so on. This is a fair system.

Perhaps you should think about it?

So someone has first pick EVERY time...practically, he has first dibs on every player every round.

A fair draft is one that does go 1-12 and then 12-1 because the person thats 1 has the benefit of the best player in the league ...and then gets it again while the person at 12 has to wait all the time.

So over 25 rounds it evens out...awesome...so in round 20 I may get a top 5 pick which will mean i'll get David Mead instead of Geoff Daniella as my back up farkin winger while other teams in the first 10 rounds when the best player's are selected, i'm getting pick 8, 11,11,10,8 while some guys have 1,5,3,8,4....yeah...really fair for those who get those picks.

The player who gets first pick has the benefit of getting the best player there...the player with the 12th pick doesn't, and therefore gets the advantage of the next round picking the best player available in order to even it out. EVERY DRAFT AROUND THE WORLD WORKS LIKE THIS!...but yours is random...

It's just a silly draft design that is unequitable, thats all.

It may seem like whingeing but the reality is the design is terrible.

But then we have Big Mick here crying like a little bitch on the hour every hour.

Because its stupid and everyone is like 'oh just suck it up"...how about do something about it.

The only reason I am whinging is because I was blamed for holding everyone up...when it was the crappy site. So i'll nitpick and find every wrong thing now because I don't like to be blamed for crap that isn't my fault.

And don't worry Griffo...you can auto pick all you want because I'm not playing in this competition any more.
