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.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
