Hey guys, I'd be interested in joining.

Are we just going to use standard DT scoring? 3 pts for kick, mark, 4 pts per tackle etc?

edit: My bad. I joined the 2nd league and have read about the scoring now.

Saturdays until about after 4pm are not good for me, hopefully this can be changed, it seems like we'll need to push back the draft some time to let other teams join anyway.

I am in the second league.

Would prefer a draft date closer to the start of the season if possible.

This would also allow more time for other teams to join.

Edit: For those who still want to join, here are the details of the second league again:

League name: Demonland Mk 2

League ID: 351891

Password: demons

You'll learn some valuable lessons jako. Plus a good opportunity to get the game against me out of the way early.

Happy with that Titan. More time to assess my potential draftees

I'd make your time limit pretty short if you're going to go that late.

Also If you end up with an odd number you can't start your draft, which caught me out last year.

Yeah I will, but first things first let's give it a week or so and see if we can't fill it up. Then I'll put it to the rest of the league to see what makes people happy. Might bring it forward by a week too.

in demonland mkll it says the draft is on april 10 the season will already be started.

and 2 hours per pick it says. lol

Lol fail on my behalf.

Ok I fixed it now I think. At the moment it's Sunday 20th March at 10:00am, with 1 hour for each pick. But once we've finalised the size of the league we can all decide on draft deets.

No-one does that better than I...

I don't know about that... There's a few around this place that can go with you...

I would prefer the winner gets to take over the losers Avatar & Signature for a month.

I tell you what, that's not half bad...

The birthday boy feeling the pressure??

I find that hard to believe.

PS I refunded that 20 bucks you sent me.

My No1 pick aint going that cheap :)

Not bad... There's some early smacktalk form here. Well noticed about the birthday by the way. I'd done well trying to avoid it today.

Reminder to everyone in the demonland1 league to be available for the draft if you can be from 5:30-10:00pm tomorrow (Sunday). I know some can't make it, so there will be some picks that will take the full 30 minutes to be selected.

If you can't make it I strongly suggest you do a pre-draft ranking of the playing list. Try not to stray too far from the projected rankings of the players.

If you are around be sure to check back in for the draft as much as you can so it keeps moving along. I have never run a slow draft before so I this is new to me as well, hopefully it runs well.

JA just wondering if would worthwhile shortening 30 minutes to say 10-15, most people will be online for atleast this first day, so if takes the full quota of time for those not online - we won't be twiddling our thumbs waiting. I for one won't be able to do most of the midweek evenings as i get home from work at about 7.30-8mideweek. not complaining about that i'll do some rankings and get what is dished out by the auto selections. i'm just thinking the wait time might be tedious if it goes the full time quota for those not online

I'm assuming a pre draft pick only kicks in when the time limit for a pick expires?

In other words a manual pick cancels out a auto pick?

(the help files could be improved, more indepth explainations)

Like everything, once you;ve done it once,you know the drill.

Probably a good idea. I also will be missing some on the other days. I'll make it 15 minutes and if I can change it back to 30 for subsequent days i might try that.

Hi- I am currently overseas, hopefully I will be available for draft this Sunday night. You are starting 5pm or 5.30 pm..I have the 9th pick, therefore as I understand it I will not have to be available till around say 8pm(Melbourne time for my first pick- Is that correct? Please advise as the rules seem to change reguarly. We need to make them firm so we all know.

thank you

Sunday's draft starts at 5:30. Each pick will have a maximum of 15 minutes to pick, however you may make that pick in 1 minute, then the next person has 15 minutes from then.

So in your case if the 8 picks before yours take only 1 minute to select then your 15 minutes starts at 5:38. In reality there will be a few of those 8 who won't be available for the draft. So my guess is that your pick will be around 6:00. Again I have never run a slow draft before so i'm in the dark a bit myself, but I'm fairly confident the settings I have put in place are the best possible given the situation.

Apologies to those who have been negatively affected by any changes that I have made, and those who can't make parts of the draft, I'm doing my best to get everyone involved, but balancing that is the need to keep it moving quickly as well. Remember that the draft is not the end game here, it is important but you'll find that if you pre-rank your players it is normal that your selection will be the pre-ranked one anyway. The exception here is you will probably want to keep an eye on balancing your team well across the positions and the categories.

I know there has been some confusion about the start time, it is 5:30 for only Sunday, days following it will start at 5:00. A further explanation of this is in an earlier post.

Correct on all fronts.

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s
