Are we going to start our NAT draft immediately after the AFL one finishes, or should we wait until the 26th to start it to give everyone a day to see where players have gone and everything?

Thoughts on this - I had planned to start at 9:00am on Saturday 26th but can delay till mid day if desired to allow dissection of picks.
