Cunning. I like it. But first all must be made aware. Oh, that is if it's ok with old55 anyway...

Yeah I think once everyone is on board we could try a one day time limit, what do you think?

Make your selections in order in the thread so we can make sure they happen in the right order but keep a summary post up near the top with all your selections and players in position so so far - does this make sense?

It is going to take a while but we've got nothing better to do until the pre-season comp starts ...

Yes that makes sense.

To repeat my original post, does anyone want to make this full-scale?

I was thinking something like this. (BigFooty does have a lot of members but we only need 10-12 to kick it off, and I'm not sure how many teams they have.)

I reckon this would be really good, although considering there are 600+ players in the draft, we'd need very active members to kick it off before the season starts.

Anyone? I think it would be fun :)

Old I just realised you are not in the list of 10. I am happy to step aside if you want to have a crack. It was your idea after all!

I'm not opposed to a "last-in, first-out" policy.

Fair is fair.

No worries, thanks - I'm happy to be independent administrator

Full-scale ? Unsure eth38. Might be worth a try though. But for now I reckon we give old's best 18 a crack.

You can always try and start something before the 2011 season if you want.ie in off-season. Sent the master a PM, he might be the only one unaware.

Is a whole 24 hours too long to wait?

Should we make it 12 hours from the last pick and if they miss that deadline they pass and take their pick at the end of the round?

(can you tell I'm getting impatient for my turn..?)

I think Round 1 was always going to take a little while. Thereafter once all are aware it could be quicker if everyone checks in now and then.

And you reckon you have a wait ! :lol:

But I'm looking forward to the set of steak knives.... :)

12 hours is better I agree. Perhaps if they miss then they pick 2 picks at their next turn? If they miss that chance then they forfeit?

Patience kids, after the first round, 24 hours it is, some people only have a certain window each day.

Agree with the idea of 2 picks next round and if they don't show at that pick it's out.

I agree.

Only having a small window is understandable.

Maybe to preserve the integrity of the draft, if they miss the 2 picks then the position is offered up to other posters who aren't participating but wish to assume the role.

We're better off with those that are committed, otherwise everyone will get frustrated.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
