Underrated and I still need a FF.

Good backmen are easier to find.

A good key backman? Frawley, Scarlett, Taylor, Hurley and Lake have been picked.

Got a few other options though that might be alright...and another little note I just realised that definitely has to be taken care of

Me too, was tossing up between he and BBBaz, went with Barry because even when he's quiet, at least he's still there.

Yes, definitely a big presence. Just ask Staker who was minding his own business, or relatively speaking.

Important rule clarification I was thinking about overnight ...

It's 17 + 1 but when can you activate the 1?

[a] Must make selections from all 17 teams and in R18 can select from a team already selected

or

Can make the 2nd selection any time.

I don't think anyone has selected 2 from a team yet - please let me know if you have because then it's .

I favour [a] but it's a democracy (at least on this one) and I'll go with the majority.

I assumed applied, but I'm just as happy with [a].

(earlier I did consider taking Mumford although I already have Goodes, but that decision was taken out of my hands a few picks early anyway)

Yeah I'd assumed too but then I thought some might be thinking it's [a] and that would cause angst later.

The more I thought about the more I liked [a] anyway, but I can see the appeal of too, being able to play your "wild-card" at any time.

Let me know ...

Happy with [a].

I don't think anyone will be banking on and it will add an interesting element towards the end.

Although...

No. .

Otherwise it'll be a mad scramble sifting through the bargain bin at the end and people with later picks will be disadvantaged.

With there is still an element of uncertainty for when it should be used.

I'd be first in the last round, so it doesn't worry me. Either way.

I like B/ the wildcard path myself. Adds another interesting dimension.

And I agree with E25 whoever goes last in round 18 using a) would get the dregs of the dregs ....

Your call though old55 as admin ...

I assumed a) as no one had used it.

I favour a) but would not object.

BTW I'm away for the weekend and unlikely to get much internet access.

Are we going through the weekend or should I PM a few picks with back-ups

PM me a list of selections in order and I'll make them for you.

Probably unfair to you to have to PM a few picks with back ups, as you could easily miss out on something.

I think waiting over the weekend is reasonable, personally.

PMing picks is only something that should be done a couple of picks in advance.

Otherwise you're short-changing yourself by not having all the information at hand.

You might assume certain players are gone that could change your strategy.

Having said that, I have a bit of work on today, so I'm going to PM my 2 picks to old55 now.

Old I'm happy either way.

However, if they need to be chosen in position like your first post on the thread that could be difficult.

You just make the executive decision mate

Just to be clear, we agreed earlier that you can move your selections round in the 18 and you don't have to keep them in the initial position nominated.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
