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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.
