:lol:

Well done JA. Superb work. All done by 11:30pm, within two nights. Great effort.

I have no idea whether my team is good or not but Gram, Shaw and Davey in defence would get plenty of the pill; Judd, Cooney, Swallow, and McVeigh should be consistent leaders in their respective sides, and Pavlich and Jurrah would be a chance to kick a few goals.

Things stuffed - I can't move anyone into the emergency utility position.

And there is a bullet point at the top of the page that says - "move someone into an unused emergency position."

Annoying.

Pretty happy with that. Strong backline and plenty of options through the middle. Some fire power and x-factor magic up forward. Ruck division my weak area with Naitanui needing to step it up. Let the games begin!

rpfc, near the top of page change setting from line up mode to classic. Then change one of your bench to em utility. You should be able to fill it. It just worked for me.

Your forwards will kill me round 1...

As described above, the classic mode works better.

Once you chose a dual position in one position, is he stuck there or can you still move him?

You can move them around however you like, so long as you put players in positions they are allowed to play in. What you are selecting right now is your team for round 1.

Players with 2 possible positions are particularly powerful this year with byes. Expecially those who are the rare: BF.

Ok.... :rolleyes: ....who is up for a trade ? :blink: I'm prepared to offer up a gun and pay half his contract :lol:

Not being to familiar with the scoring system so I am not sure if this squad is suited to this game or not?

Any past UF players please pass on your thoughts.

Does this collection of players look OK?, or will it need some serious tweeking?

Backs : Johncock, Mackie, Drummond, Bock, N.Krakueor

Centre : Pendlebury, Black, Houli(MPP), A.Krakueor(MPP), D.Pearce, Tambling, Polec.

Rucks : Jamar, Mitch Clark

Forwards : B.Green. B.Harvey(MPP),R.Okeefe(MPP), Leon Davis(MPP),Josh Hill, J.Anthony, I.Smith(MPP)

After a quick scan; looks to me to be strong on Hitouts & kicks. Weak on Handballs & tackles.

You might consider trading away a kicking player for a Tackling/Handballing player if you're looking for balance. But this just comes down to the different strategies you employ; balance vs. targetting just a few categories.

Each week you'll have to make a decision about which team to field, making trade-offs of certain types of players (from your bench) who you think will give you the right balance of categories to beat the team you're playing that week. IMHO a team that favours a blanaced strategy over a targetted approach tends to do better, but both are valid.

EDIT: strong team, I had my eye on a lot of these players.

I think I should have read the 'settings' page prior to the draft.....ah well there's always next year.

Any chance of including points for goals...? [Me thinks the horse has already bolted]

It will be interesting to see whos side impresses early. We've all taken very different types of strategies.

Heres mine. What ya think my chances are?

Backs - Tuck (B/C), Broughton, Gibbs (B/C), Salopek (B/C), Richardson, Fisher,

Mids - Corey, Armitage, Vince, B.Martin, Harris

Rucks - Goldstein, Vickery

Forwards - Sylvia (F/C), Gray, (F/C), A.Walker, L.Jetta (F/C), Davenport (F/C), McQualter, Collins (F/C), Gumlbeton

Another genuine mid could go alright, however I think Tuck and Corey can hold up well.

A lot better if I accepted your trade of Boyd for McQualter.

UNlikely.

But I am prepared to trade Boyd to someone if they can offer me something of value. Not because I don't rate him, just because my top 2 ranked players are WB Centres, so when their Bye comes around i'm in trouble.

HA. Was just trying the trade feature. I like it. Will propose something 'realistic' soon i think

How about J.Brown JA ? Interested ? High reward/high risk..

We're getting warmer.

Let me think about that.

EDIT: Question mark over OP will drop his value.

Ok. Well I see you have several Melbourne players, how about I offer also up in addition to J.Brown for Boyd, Ben Howlett for your Rohan Bail. (I haven't a Melbourne player ) It might ease the pressure for you when Melb has a bye.

Howlett offer more in tackles...and higher projected ranking.

    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.

    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
