[Hardyman's Yugo]

According to his wikipedia page he played in 1983 so is eligible?

I read that as he coached them in 1983, finished playing for Aus in 1977

 

[Hardyman's Yugo]

Coached in 83

Beat me to it

 

[Wrighty]

Has everyone picked...let me count back and see.

 

[Dunedin warrior]

I’ve already got him in my squad

Dammit, Mick Cronin then?

Last test in 77 I think

 

[wizards rage]

Unfortunately that’s his coaching record. I made the same mistake.

Will take Marty Bella instead.

As I said he’s in my squad but open to a player trade for Steve Menzies who I note is in your reserves?

 

[Wrighty]

Well I’d written down 20 names but only 2 fit the criteria….
Gary belcher

Soft caution - no editing posts with corrected picks. It effects the sequencing of if two guys both went for belcher.
No card for this as I didn't put down no edits in the rules but will next game.
(Originally Defence took Boyd Cordner)

If that’s the case Ben Henry is up for grabs hahaha

No trades. Although I am sure you are just joking. LOL.

 

[Defence]

Hold on if we’re doing player trades I’ve got a much juicer one than that for u Dunedin warrior 😜

 

[wizards rage]

Was just joking but it’s criminal that Beaver only makes the reserves!

 

[fizurg]

I agree. Ben Henry would look a lot better in his reserves.

Yeah sorry I had the two names written down and posted the wrong one- thought I fixed it before anyone noticed.
Would’ve put my hand up if anyone had picked him in the mean time but looking back no one had.

NEXT STEPS

1) Please tidy up your 17 in their final positions in the team list thread.
2) You may wish to name a head coach, or home ground. Please don't pick one someone else has taken. First in first served - just post in the team list thread. This is optional you won't get extra consideration for having a great coach.
3) You may wish to name your team e.g. Wrighty's Warriors
4) Strongly recommended you do a write up
5) Post back in here and let me know you have finalised your team submission.
6) When all have posted back in here that they are ready with their team details in that thread I will create a voting thread or ask for a volunteer to help me make a voting thread.

 

[wizards rage]

Great game boys. Lots of fun.

Big thanks to Wrighty for organising and DavidMcKay1974 for helping out.

 

[Wrighty]

Please post your pick then complete the next steps as outlined above...

Cheers

All good. Thanks very much for staying up!!!

 

[Wrighty]

I just took a peek at the thread. Hardyman's Yugo and Billyspleen75 be sure to post your 17 rather than just top 13. As will vote on all 17.(With an emphasis on your top 13)

 

[Wrighty]

How did you guys find the lightening rounds? Good for some variety? Too hectic? Or want more of them in the future?
