So... getting down to the last of the talent at Carlton, West Coast, Richmond and Essendon.

Not much left at Brisbane, never was too much at Port.

Geelong has been almost entirely pillaged.

I need to get into Freo and Adelaide before there's nothing left!

    Not forgetting the might of the GC Suns.

    I accept that they are full of kids and I'll end up selecting one, so it doesn't really matter who it is as they're all untested.

    Nicely played with the full face of the bat. :) Giving nothing away there E.

    There's some little mind games being played here. Love it!

    The wildcard pick adds a bit of intrigue to proceedings as well. Someone might just get a rush of blood and plonk down for two guns from the Pies or Saints.

    Get in early while they're hot!

    Come to think of it. They come in different shapes and sizes. And there is superior quality from the top end of the draft in Bennell & Day. Not forgetting Toy who D.Swallow regarded as one who should of gone no.1 in the draft, if he was a little older. So, there are bargains. There's also some experience available.......

    Not many know of McKenzie, Russell or Weller, who I'd also be happy to select.

    That's what makes this so pointless, with no way of qualifying whose list is the best.

    Might be worth returning to at the conclusion of the 2011 season. Or not...

    Or there is Krakouer, Brown, Toy who are known, etc. With 6 GC players already gone. There might well be a MYER stampede rush for them. The second Gold rush ...perhaps.

    Tomorrow night (Tuesday) on this thread guys between 10:00-11:00pm I'm going to submit several interesting quiz questions. It hasn't got a title as such, but it could be seen as a mix of the following titles : -

    * Hot hour quiz

    * Hour of Power

    * Window of opportunity

    I'll post a few footy questions relating to the current players of today (so it is relevant to this thread), and if most or all entrants here are present we may even knock over quite a few picks in the process. First correct answers of questions gets bragging rights. Incorrect answers get a friendly uppercut.

    If unavailable perhaps a PM to old55 with your preferred selection(s) to keep the ball rolling in the draft.

    PS. If there is quite a number who cannot be available we may seek another preferred timeslot. Otherwise please confirm availability.

    old55 - can you please confirm availability for timeslot or if you have a preferrable timeslot.

    Quiz is not necessarily for those specifically participating in the Best 18 draft either.

    My availability is unreliable at present - away with work. Carry on, seems to be going well and getting more interesting.

    Cheers HT, happy with that. It's what I would have done, except if I got out my crystal ball and knew Eth38 was going to pluck Walker! He was high on my list.

    Anyway I'm just happy to get Essendon done!

    It's nearly 10pm

    Everyone on that team I respect and wanted, except maybe Priddis but he's pretty good for your WCE pick. Very well done whilst getting WCE, Ess, GC, Port and Sydney knocked off.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
