Hey guys, I'd be interested in joining.

Are we just going to use standard DT scoring? 3 pts for kick, mark, 4 pts per tackle etc?

edit: My bad. I joined the 2nd league and have read about the scoring now.

Saturdays until about after 4pm are not good for me, hopefully this can be changed, it seems like we'll need to push back the draft some time to let other teams join anyway.

I am in the second league.

Would prefer a draft date closer to the start of the season if possible.

This would also allow more time for other teams to join.

Edit: For those who still want to join, here are the details of the second league again:

League name: Demonland Mk 2

League ID: 351891

Password: demons

You'll learn some valuable lessons jako. Plus a good opportunity to get the game against me out of the way early.


Nice, Demonland Mk 2 is up to 10 teams!

I've also moved the draft date back to the 20th of March, but that can be changed too. It's the last weekend before the start of the season.

I'd make your time limit pretty short if you're going to go that late.

Also If you end up with an odd number you can't start your draft, which caught me out last year.

Yeah I will, but first things first let's give it a week or so and see if we can't fill it up. Then I'll put it to the rest of the league to see what makes people happy. Might bring it forward by a week too.

Lol fail on my behalf.

Ok I fixed it now I think. At the moment it's Sunday 20th March at 10:00am, with 1 hour for each pick. But once we've finalised the size of the league we can all decide on draft deets.

:o

{what have I got myself into...}

:)

Bring it.

Easy- you have me to belt around the head first up- ain't you lucky..

No-one does that better than I...

I don't know about that... There's a few around this place that can go with you...

I would prefer the winner gets to take over the losers Avatar & Signature for a month.

I tell you what, that's not half bad...

The birthday boy feeling the pressure??

I find that hard to believe.

PS I refunded that 20 bucks you sent me.

My No1 pick aint going that cheap :)

Not bad... There's some early smacktalk form here. Well noticed about the birthday by the way. I'd done well trying to avoid it today.

Reminder to everyone in the demonland1 league to be available for the draft if you can be from 5:30-10:00pm tomorrow (Sunday). I know some can't make it, so there will be some picks that will take the full 30 minutes to be selected.

If you can't make it I strongly suggest you do a pre-draft ranking of the playing list. Try not to stray too far from the projected rankings of the players.

If you are around be sure to check back in for the draft as much as you can so it keeps moving along. I have never run a slow draft before so I this is new to me as well, hopefully it runs well.

JA just wondering if would worthwhile shortening 30 minutes to say 10-15, most people will be online for atleast this first day, so if takes the full quota of time for those not online - we won't be twiddling our thumbs waiting. I for one won't be able to do most of the midweek evenings as i get home from work at about 7.30-8mideweek. not complaining about that i'll do some rankings and get what is dished out by the auto selections. i'm just thinking the wait time might be tedious if it goes the full time quota for those not online

Probably a good idea. I also will be missing some on the other days. I'll make it 15 minutes and if I can change it back to 30 for subsequent days i might try that.

I'm assuming a pre draft pick only kicks in when the time limit for a pick expires?

In other words a manual pick cancels out a auto pick?

(the help files could be improved, more indepth explainations)

Like everything, once you;ve done it once,you know the drill.

Hi- I am currently overseas, hopefully I will be available for draft this Sunday night. You are starting 5pm or 5.30 pm..I have the 9th pick, therefore as I understand it I will not have to be available till around say 8pm(Melbourne time for my first pick- Is that correct? Please advise as the rules seem to change reguarly. We need to make them firm so we all know.

thank you

Sunday's draft starts at 5:30. Each pick will have a maximum of 15 minutes to pick, however you may make that pick in 1 minute, then the next person has 15 minutes from then.

So in your case if the 8 picks before yours take only 1 minute to select then your 15 minutes starts at 5:38. In reality there will be a few of those 8 who won't be available for the draft. So my guess is that your pick will be around 6:00. Again I have never run a slow draft before so i'm in the dark a bit myself, but I'm fairly confident the settings I have put in place are the best possible given the situation.

Apologies to those who have been negatively affected by any changes that I have made, and those who can't make parts of the draft, I'm doing my best to get everyone involved, but balancing that is the need to keep it moving quickly as well. Remember that the draft is not the end game here, it is important but you'll find that if you pre-rank your players it is normal that your selection will be the pre-ranked one anyway. The exception here is you will probably want to keep an eye on balancing your team well across the positions and the categories.

I know there has been some confusion about the start time, it is 5:30 for only Sunday, days following it will start at 5:00. A further explanation of this is in an earlier post.

JA- And your best is outstanding and no doubt appreciated by all, but especially me- Sincere thanks..Hope to be online tomorrow.Regards

Pumped for the draft, shattered I ended up with pick 13. Turns out I'm no good at rigging it.

Correct on all fronts.

    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.
