Best 18

Recommended Posts

I'm giving The Master 24 hours from now to get on board - 10:30am Tuesday 2/12 - otherwise his place is taken by first emergency Mr Reims.

I've PM'ed him.

I reserve the right to make up the rules as required as we go along ....

Just so everyone knows MrReims and titan_uranus are sweating beads, holding their breath for a call up to be a part of this draft created by old55. :)

It will be interesting to see how we build our sides - will it be the strength of the spine first or the mids first ? Or build from the backs first ? Hmmmm.

Some very hard decision to be made. Best available versus needs. Gun KPF's are a bit light on to spread around 10 sides. And when to pick that player from West Coast? Leave it too late and you'll end up with a full on hack in your side!

As old55 alluded to earlier...same goes for Essendon.

This is how fantasy teams are done on the US.

More fun than the way Hun do it.

Only one person can get Ablett, one person Judd etc.

If someone wrote a program for it they would be rich!

Well, maybe not but they would get laid!

Maybe not...

Make people happy for a bit though.

Does exist already.

There was a thread started here where someone linked to a site that does the proper draft system. And it's free (as opposed to others which charge).

I can't for the life of me remember the URL. I'll go look for it.\

Edit: I think this might be it: http://www.ultimatefooty.com/

Well I'm surprised if this is the first time it has happened to date on demonland.

I think this will need to become a yearly off-season fixture in the flat spot between the ND and the PSD.

You do understand there is no resolution in that time?

I mean it's 'yay, I'm making a team' and then the next feeling is 'what the hell was the point of doing that so early?!'

I'll check out that ultimate footy thing - i'll be in for a DLand one (we might have to have a couple).

eth38 was interested. old55?

No thanks, don't like FF.

Probably a good idea to take it to another thread.

Yes we're waiting on The Master and he has until 10:30am tomorrow to get on board - I've PM'ed him.

Once we get going I reckon we'll fly.

already have my barry prendergast style list formed

Thanks for the idea. Creating a draft message to myself - best way to do it on Demonland as there's no private notes feature I know of.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
