I just knew you'd trot out the Dean Cox - I told you so thing - and you're dead right!

Haha. You've had some decent scores RM of late, looks as though your average has increased over the last few rounds. Very good. You'll be hard to beat.

Well done eth38, appreciate the effort. Got your reply re: Jordie; I'll re-evaluate. - You realise I gave up Simpson for McKernan.... ;)

It literally shows how injury, form and suspension can stuff everything

FB: J. Surjan (Port) N. Grima (NM) S. Hurn (WCE) - out of form, injured, dominating

HB: J. Kelly (Geel) L. McPharlin (Fre) J. Adcock (Bris) - all it top form

C: D. Thomas (Coll) S. Thompson (Adel) S. Hill (Fre) - Pretty happy with this

HF: M. Morton (Rich) L. Henderson (Carl) D. Swallow (GC) - Morton's quit, Henderson in the VFL, Swallow's good!

FF: A. Monfries (Ess) L. Franklin (Haw) A. Schneider (StK) - Buddy!!! Schneider and Monfries disappointing

R: M. Jamar (Melb) J.P. Kennedy (Syd) R. Griffen (WB) - Big Rush injured, happy with the other 2

Happy with the midfield. The rise of Daisy probably helps.

Not sure what I was thinking with Morton, but I still believe with a clear head the guy is a massive talent. Should have gone with Nahas! I think I really let myself down by not getting in some better players from weaker clubs (namely Port and Richmond).

You did?

Well, if you're preparing to offer way more than you should, maybe deals can be done ;)

Yes. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and Dappa scored. McKernan lit it up early days...I think our team knocked the confidence out of him at the G. A win for Dappa.

Well done eth38...keep it up. :)

Roger Mellie in fine form.

RR, when drafting one of my own rules I used was buyer beware..ie Fevola, etc so too for the injury prone footballers and weighing up other factors regarding form ie Dean Cox.

Just a reminder Cox was the last bloke picked...and over at UF he won the MVP for 2011 Demonland. What a pick up....

Yep, I drafted the injury prone. You'll see my Round 12 score soon, I had half a team...

And nice work on Cox.

hehe...you picked a few winners here RR.

This is a great concept btw.

I'm an idiot for having Fyfe written down as my first choice from Freo, then selecting Palmer 2 rounds before Fyfe went because I thought I could use an extra mid instead.

The kid is a star.

Actually looking back and thinking about my perception of certain players pre-season, and then comparing that to how I view them now, is an interesting exercise.

It's fair to say my view has changed quite a bit over 20 rounds.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
