I'm giving The Master 24 hours from now to get on board - 10:30am Tuesday 2/12 - otherwise his place is taken by first emergency Mr Reims.

I've PM'ed him.

I reserve the right to make up the rules as required as we go along ....

    Just so everyone knows MrReims and titan_uranus are sweating beads, holding their breath for a call up to be a part of this draft created by old55. :)

    It will be interesting to see how we build our sides - will it be the strength of the spine first or the mids first ? Or build from the backs first ? Hmmmm.

    Some very hard decision to be made. Best available versus needs. Gun KPF's are a bit light on to spread around 10 sides. And when to pick that player from West Coast? Leave it too late and you'll end up with a full on hack in your side!

    As old55 alluded to earlier...same goes for Essendon.

    This is how fantasy teams are done on the US.

    More fun than the way Hun do it.

    Only one person can get Ablett, one person Judd etc.

    If someone wrote a program for it they would be rich!

    Well, maybe not but they would get laid!

    Maybe not...

    Make people happy for a bit though.

    Does exist already.

    There was a thread started here where someone linked to a site that does the proper draft system. And it's free (as opposed to others which charge).

    I can't for the life of me remember the URL. I'll go look for it.\

    Well I'm surprised if this is the first time it has happened to date on demonland.

    I think this will need to become a yearly off-season fixture in the flat spot between the ND and the PSD.

    Might have to try that. I registered my interest for next year. See if it's the equivalent of getting laid as..er.. rpfc stated um...

    Maybe a D'land league in 2011 ?

    You do understand there is no resolution in that time?

    I mean it's 'yay, I'm making a team' and then the next feeling is 'what the hell was the point of doing that so early?!'

    I'll check out that ultimate footy thing - i'll be in for a DLand one (we might have to have a couple).

    I don't want to derail this thread, so I suggest it continues on seperately from the Ufooty one.

    But for future reference I have the following down for 2011 ultimate footy. Draft order TBD.

    eth38 was interested. old55?

    No thanks, don't like FF.

    Probably a good idea to take it to another thread.

    Yes we're waiting on The Master and he has until 10:30am tomorrow to get on board - I've PM'ed him.

    Once we get going I reckon we'll fly.

    Thanks for the idea. Creating a draft message to myself - best way to do it on Demonland as there's no private notes feature I know of.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
