    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.

    jack attack, you are my least favourite person, your two picks were my next two picks, i saw dennis lane go and i was like cool i can get shaw then, but no no you took them both

    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.

    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.

    Surely a few more Dees can find a home?

    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.

    Looks like I can steal some tips for how to run Mk 2's draft. For example, 5 minutes per pick.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
