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.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe
