The draft is done, let the games begin!
February 26th 2009 10:41
Well the League of Leagues is finally on the way.
After a summer of talking, debating, and lengthy email in inordinate detail on what would be the rules (still hurting the "bad reputation" rule has missed out) the draft went away last Wednesday and finally the six teams are ready for battle.
The draft night went (surprisingly) off without a hitch. We laughed, we cried about the random format of the picks (okay that just me), we made fun of Chris believing Vanilla Ice was still number one on the charts, but we finally had our squads.
Eveyone got some great picks, some fantastic steals, and some teams they are just hoping will do something this season, but how did everyone shape up?
The teams competing for the inaugural League of League championships are;
Saget Sweaters
Western Bulldogs AFL North Melbourne AFL
Matthew Lloyd COLEMAN Cameron Mooney COLEMAN
Dale Thomas COLEMAN Jason Akermanis COLEMAN

The teams are all going through pre-season competition so far, and with AFL and NRL going through their trial/NAB Cup matches, and Australia getting ready to take on the Proteas in their Test series, we shall soon see which teams will rise to the challenge, and which will float to the shallow end of the dream pool.
Let the games begin!
