10pm

I'm going to keep it open till 12:00 and finish this thing off.

We don't need this hangning over our heads another day,not for players ranked in the 300s.

I can't make the time limit shorter, so 5 minutes will have to do.

Everyone who is here try and make your picks in 1 minute.

If you're off to bed; change your draft preferences to autopick. And select your pre-draft rankings.

yeah i think im just about to set the auto pick, i've filled my team with cf and cb just so i can cover all parts of the ground, now at this late stage i think im going to set auto pick and try and get best available. what were other peoples stratergies?

*edit. also when placing the players in your team, did i read it right that the emergencies score points but the players on the bench dont? i've gotta be wrong on that dont i?

Emergencies only replace players who are injured, so only score i a player in the same position does not play.

I did it the other way. The stars of the comp were what won us games last season... I thought I'd go for best available for the first 6-8, then after that draft for whatever I was missing until I had enough of each type, plus a couple of rucks.

You clearly have an eye for talent.

Great work J.A.

Thanks a lot. Still not sure how the actually scoring or what not works. But oh wells.

Has been a pleasure, though next year we're doing a 'live draft' with 1 minute time limits. Works a lot better.

And now for some speccy picks.

took a couple of risk's, i think watts will actually score quite well but mcintosh is injured until rnd 4 with barlow also injured for the first 4 rounds.(also i had to have a melbourne player in there somewhere!)

You done very well with your list- congrats..Now, re the Bench list- is it we still have to pick, C, B, F, R, U or just the best 5 players we think are left..please advise..as I may not be able to make it tomorrow night- maybe in the air --may have to make auto..-a reply would be great from someone please.Thanks

emergencies have to be the same type to fill each of the emergency spots (C,B,F,R,UTL)except utility which can be anyone. Bench can be anyone but a balance is probably wise.

Edit: Tonight is the last night, I extended the night to 1:00am to finish it off.

More time for trading, i know many of you will want to balance your teams out a bit, but more on that later.

Highly reommended.

And to be honest, a live draft works a lot better, 1 minute for each, you'll have it finished in maybe 3 hours.

agree- for next year however you have done a wonderful job- congrats-I'm buggered.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
