for all of you who are interested, supercoach has been launched for the 2009 season. get in quick because there is only 51 days until the next lock out :D ;)

 

Is Demonland having its own league again this year? If so please let me know where to PM for a invite

Okay... well lets add to this discussion. I'm always interested in the values of our players and how they are ranked. Here is the MFC top 10 in the HeraldSun Supercoach:

1. Brad Green - $532,200

2. Cameron Bruce - $515,800

3. Paul Wheatley - $501,200

4. Brock McLean - $487,600

5. Matthew Whealan - $472,400

6 James McDonald - $460,200

7. Aaron Davey - $425,300

8 Colin Sylvia - $406,500

9. Matthew Bate - $402,700

10. Paul Johnson - $398,400

I find it interesting to have Sylvia and Bate so high. I think Sylvia would be a good pick up for the price.

Melbourne Rankings can be found here:

Gippy

 

Demonland League Code is: 420063

Game on!


 

Just scraped in for 16th position.....

Hopefully that isn't an omen for the season for my team :P


here's my starting point prior to NAB comp(s)

Interesting Rivers price being that he has not played in 2years, also cousins above 400k is a joke he is effectively a rookie player.

Oops. Looks like you made the schoolboy error of picking too many players from the club you support. Never works.

Even if one is a hit, they usually end up stealing stats from each other, unless its a team like Geelong.

Because it plays out like an AFL season. Each week you play off against someone in the league and move up or down on the ladder.

Another league will probably open up. From memory we had three last year.

Each league is restricted to 16 teams.....

I aws actually going to start up another DemonLand league, but I'm sure someone else has beaten me to it....

More than likely will be more announced in this thread by the end of the day :P

Anyone doing an afl.com.au dream team i have made my team and will make a league if need be


Demonalnd League did fill up fast.

Not to worry...

Here's Demonland 2's code: 511991

And I think we'll need to implement clash strips... :rolleyes:

A lot are weighted in the back half, Did well last year with this model as I expect plenty of ball down there! :lol:

Also Do the prices change during the NAB cup? my logic is to get the best young players now see who shows a bit during NAB and make appropriate changes prior to rd 1.

But I'll Put out the challenge...... Pls name better scoring players for the same or less price as the following MFC:

Back Line

Buckley, S $ 362,600 - is a ball magnet, clangers hurt him last year but with brock/beamer back hopefully this will improve

Grimes, J $ 188,400 - Big chance of rising star nomination, even award this year IMO, good value at 188k

Bartram, C $ 279,200 - Good value at this price IMO but 3rd choice behind SB and JG

Mid

Morton, C $ 327,800 - same as SB

Moloney, B $ 389,000 - Hard ball winner, good by foot, tackles well.

Strauss, J $ 94,200 - to have Ablett, Hodge + Judd rookies have to play due to salery cap. silky finisher likely to play this year, Already have rich(BL) and Swift (WC)

Johnson, P $ 398,400 - Likely to get a mess of the ball this year, best value ruckman IMO

Spencer, J $ 83,400 - Good chance to get a game this year, could be the bargen of the year

Fwd - Probably my weekness at the moment due to salery cap, but would prefer a star midfield.

Jurrah, L $ 144,200 - Have Fev, Deledio, harvs, pav need salery cap room, likely to play this year

Watts, J $174,200 - As above, already have Sidebottom, Schoenmakers, Sibosado, as well.

I've never done this, hmmm should i bother?

be careful, it can become very addictive!

Also for me personally I have found it has added interest in non mfc games which prev I would not have cared about but will actually watch. Perfect example will be sat night. Good chance to have a look at swift and sidebottom.

I dunno where to start, where do i sign up? I know very little about toher teams let alone their players, aside the obvious.

click on this link... http://supercoach.heraldsun.com.au

register with email and password. Everything works on a salery cap. have a look at my earlier post I have a link to my starting point to get you started!

Yeah i did it, im the AzzKikA team, let me know what you think please.

I was having an interesting thought, but needs 16 email addresses to do it.

Basically take what is seen as the current best for each side and enter them in for the season and see where they finish without substitution during the year. I think there would be some real suprises!

I pick a couple of blue chip players ie. cox, bartel, franklin etc on all lines and make up the rest with mid range players who I believe will increase in value ie; Petterd, Araon Edwards and some young players like veszpremi, grimes. The rest are players who have played less that three games but are likely to play early on ie Ziebell, Vickery, Srauss, Bail, hill, swift etc etc. These players can often be the best value but are also hit and miss. Keep an eye on the pre-season comp and pick a few young players who are doing well but haven't debuted.

Trade prudently and don't use too many trades early. You dont have to use all your salary cap. i like to have a little in reserve to upgrade to a class form player.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
