Think there's a father son.

FTR It's not really a draft as players can refuse to sign for clubs.
Crabtree was in the NFL draft and is refusing to sign (so far). AFAIK a draft is only to get first rights to sign a player, but in CW's case it becomes an automatic 1 season contract.

Yeah but it's not akin to that totally. Say I draft sledger before Green do, and he refuses to sign, I don't hold his draft rights and Green don't have to give me anything for him, I just have to either draft again or try to con him into it, whereas in most RL sports I would hold his draft rights whether he signed or not and Green would have to give me something for him.

Makes a valid point.

Just so you know, as new captain of Red if you have any queries/suggestions/abuse you can direct it to me at gmail dot com under the name dravaal. Will be sorting out vice captaincy and a leadership group. for those interested let me know here or elsewhere. Looking at you Clapo.

Would like to stay involved in some capacity with the leadership group. Clapo obviously (if he wants to be) will make a good VC.

Yup, most certainly keen to be involved :)

Great stuff David. Need some Aussie ruthlessness in charge here.

The recent spate of activity from me suggests I'm not reliable as a leadership man :p

I'd rather be a Jesse Ryder figure. I get drunk and get into trouble and state things like "I AM RED CRICKET"
