I had my eye on Jolly, I think you have done well to pick him up.

His late season form was great, early he was useless so his average stats for the year probably bring his projected ranking down a bit.

I had him as the second best ruck available.

Please answer my question re the team and how do I pick manually. I was on some automatic if ranks thing last night-if I want to switch to manual-does that mean I just put the players name in and it will take that player?

Next year I suggest we make the time limit on drafting to 5 minutes. Would then get it over with in two nights.Great game and thanks JA.

I think you' right 5 minutes would be much better.

Re drafting, you may need to change your drafting preferences to "manual" for the option; when my pick.

Thanks mate- you have done a stirling job but I think I have sung Silent night 30 times whilst waiting for my pick and I am still goin. Next year hey? Well done my friend -excellent job.

Can we switch to 5 minutes tomorrow-I will be in Manila- dreaming about the slaughter by High Tower in the opening game. If we didn't have the auto for SO LONG we would be marching through.What does others think?

Still happy with Byrnes though.

If anyone knows they're going to be away from their computer then setting their preferences to auto pick would speed things up.

I think i can change the time limit during the draft, so if it's not moving quickly I can change it. Might [censored] a few people off who thought it was 15 minutes though.

just do it, if people havnt made there pick by 5 mins or 10 mins, there not gonna make it, and it just auto picks anyway, we're into the 7th round not as if we're gonna miss out on that "star" player, although someone did shark pettard on me lol

Yeah I agree Scarlo.

It's not like people need their full 15 minutes, if they're taking the full 15 it's pretty much been because they haven't been around it seems.

Okay unless I get a reasonable objection before 6:30 I'll drop it to 5 minutes (if I can change it).

DAMN YOU MAD MELBOURNE! now i gotta think up two new selections, pettard and mzungu were gonna be mine this round!

You wouldn't have treated him right. I'll at least call him by his real name B)

(Off everyone else's bandwagon, really unsure how my team will go - leaning towards not very well!)

My computer never ever works when I really want it to.

For the third time, I'm still happy with my auto-selection, I was most likely getting Walker anyway...

Barlow is a gun,

On averages he's the number 1 ranked player from 2010.

Definitely. Have to sacrifice a player you might want in the interests of an even spread among clubs.

Tail end of the draft now.

If you're done for the night and are checking out, please set your prefernces to auutopick before you leave, this way the rest of us can be done quicker.

someone happy, but also a bit frustrated, to see the preference picks i got, although it means that the players i had ranked higher, were taken and i would have probably picked them anyway

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
