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.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
