At the conclusion of today's inaugural Live Draft the over-excited revellers took to the streets, celebrating their pre-season wins. Police were called at several locations as Head Coaches flipped cars, burnt down a McDonalds and called the head of whoever thought Bryan Adams was a good fit for an AFL Grand Final.

Ok, maybe the rag that printed the above got a little carried away. I'm not sure anyone took the streets, unless you mean office-cubicles. The rest is probably true. Especially the Grand Final bit.
Thanks to all coaches for today - it was an ace lunch and ace Live Draft. Sorry that Breesus was separated by a couple hundred kilometres, but I think we all felt his aholy spirit with us.
For my own draft experience, this year I was determined to draft RBs in the first two rounds, following the traditional draft style. But by the time my 8th pick in Round One rolled around the top-tier RBs were snatched up and I was looking at Calvin Johnston, he was looking at me... it was destiny. Come Round 2 and I had the same decision I had in the Mock Draft: LeSean McCoy or DeMarco Murrary. Murray it was, with a lot of trepidation. And so it went.
The NFL.com Draft Rank system seems unimpressed, scoring me a B, estimated 6-8 record. Seems I have some work to do.
There were some technical glitches, Zim lost a pick, the Forces lost a pair of picks, Agent P's finger didn't fing and she drafted an Eli. It wasn't until late in the Draft I found I could a) pause it and b) undo the previous pick. I used the Pause twice to assist the Lighties as they lost connection to the app. I'm sorry I didn't use this earlier to assist those other affected by the glitches. Live and learn and next year I'll be ready.
Things I Loved:
Having the Live Draft! Totally great time draftin', lunchin' and lol'in.
Having ownership of my own B-rated team.
Funny draft choices: Farnsworth's with 3 Kickers that lasted all of 5 minutes before 2 of them hit Waivers. Lighties picking Cam Newton - sucker! Agent P picking Eli - sucker!
How did everyone else go?
