Goldy's the man with the plan. As soon as I receive the go ahead from him, I'll publish the complete list, set up the draft order, and we'll be in business.

Machu Picchu's mystery coach has indicated that he is willing to consider your offer, but is open to better offers from others.

Ladder here.

Who is in charge of machu pichu? I'll trade you my first two drafts for your first draft? Instead of 1 - 15 - 29 you'll be 5 - 15 - 19 - 29. You'll get two more top thirty players.

Im not the Machu manager, but doesnt that just give them ONE more top thirty players? They were getting 3 before (1, 15, 29) and now getting 4? (5,15,19,29)

The Quohog Daily Mail is suggesting that the Quagmires are interested in bringing Cameron Smith into the fold should he be available for their first round, 3rd draft pick. Hewitt, quoted "(Cameron) Smithy is certainly a player we're looking at. Considered to be the best Hooker in the game, he could bring a vast amount of experience and fill a gap that we have somewhat struggled with last season"

The Quagmires relied heavily on rookie Kodi Nikorima, and sporadic Kurt Baptiste to fill the hooker position last year. He also has a rather inexperienced squad featuring many of last years rookies.

Quohog could be in a strong position to pick Smith up if he doesn't get selected in the first two picks due to his higher salary demand and that Quohog is one of the teams who has spent the lowest on their retained players.

Excitement and tension is growing around the draft as draws nearer. Keep tuned for more rumors and news. Here, on your source of all things good, Dick Tickler, signing off.

Stop correcting my maths.

Still, 5-15-19 are fairly close together, so you're more likely to get gun gun gun, whereas 1-15-29, which would be gun, gun, mid.

Alright lads, I'm back from a late notice trip to Singapore that occupied entirely too much of my time (and liver).

Let's get the ball rolling on this, shall we? We've got an up to date player pool and as far as I'm aware, we're all ready and raring to go (except perverse).

I propose we get the draft started this Friday at noon. Any objections?

Clarifications, please, sans cirrhosis of the liver:

1 - Is the updated player pool Excel available for download? (A 65 hour workweek last week for me, as part of to a total of 13 straight days of work through Friday, and Easter celebrated here on Saturday (day off?! HAH!!!), my brain is fried so badly, getting drunk would actually help me!)
2 - Friday noon - in/on what time zone/planet/galactic sector? (And is it accessible without a towel or a TARDIS?)
3 - From what I hear, you should have had some prata with your alcohol, or some laksa - did you?
4 - I may need some help with drafting, depending on when the draft window happens (Ponte Preta is in a pattern starting 8 / 21 / 36 / 49 / 64 / 77, and so forth) - if I had a list, could someone help me out?

1). I'll be releasing it to everybody as soon as people confirm that this start date/time is okay.

2). Noon AEDST.

3). I had some amazing laksa and a bunch of other delicious and weird food.

4). Not a problem at all. You can send a preferential list to me if you'd like.

1. Shoot Kurt Gidley.
2. Maim Kurt Gidley.
3. Defenestrate Kurt Gidley.
4. Auto-da-fe Kurt Gidley.
5. Throw Kurt Gidley into a wood chipper.
6. Drop Kurt Gidley from an aeroplane, then shoot at him with artillery, machine guns, flame throwers, and Tony Abbott.
