Thanks, the MFCs newest member; 'Viney', is doing quite well despite her mum's persistence in calling her by some other name.

I agree with the idea but the great thing about UF is the connection you have with the other competitors. With trades and everything happening during the year you begin to make somewhat of an alliance

I don't quite understand why people think that teams aren't trying because of the Keeper rule. If it wasn't for keeper and teams were still struggling we'd still have the same problem - that's fantas

omr its surprisingly like last year, i left my charge too late but taking out teams above me shaping the final 8, if only my list pulled it together a couple of rounds earlier i think i would of been able to have a crack at it.

Well played Scarlett, 1 kick, 4 handballs.... Aaaaarrrgggghhhhh there goes my season. 2 late omissions - the Chad and Drummond out has killed my finals aspirations.

Injuries, injuries, injuries the curse of my season - I'm sacking Bohdan fom my fitness staff - its obviously all his fault

geez trading Scott Thompson to robbo a few months back could end up being the move of the season if he gets suspended. Anyone see the incident?

I can't see Thompson getting any weeks. IF he does get suspended then it will be an injustice and you MUST rest your best mid!

Actually looking at your side, I don't know how you're favourite? Should be a walk in the park for the 24's

Thought I had you Deevoted. You were -3 for free differential and ended up on 9....wtf!

Neville Jetta, you will not be playing this week v RR. Sidebottom straight back in. Btw, you cost me.

Great game RPFC - Very happy I came out on top thanks to some huge efforts from my new "Keeper recruits" Keiren Jack & Jack Darling.

Big thanks to Watts CookN for that awesome trade early last week. I am sure Jones & Walker will hold up for you also in the run home.

Definately a fair bit to play out in the final round.

JCB - Nobody needs to take pity on you, every week you claim you have no chance & your team gets over the line.

You are the flag favorite my friend, get used to it I reckon you will take home the bacon in 2012.

One of The Brothers Robbo24 or Snomed a huge chance to sneak into the 8.

Wacko Jako, RPFC both massively under the pump to hang in there now.

My agenda - Take out Deevoted & sneak in the 8 myself.

This has a "de ja vu feel" about it for team OMR. I charged home last year only to miss the 8 on %.

Who will crumble at the last hurdle? Who will live the fairytale & charge into the 8?

For those old enough to remember this has the final Home & Away round 1987 written all over it.

Good Luck to all next week. That's everyone except Deevoted of course!

My friend, whilst it is great sitting on top,looking at you guys fighting over getting into the 8, I truthfully have got real hassles. Corey is gone for around 3,weeks, Stanton, possibly 2, SJ maybe1,leaves my team in disarray.OMR,if you don't make it,I will be very disappointed.There will be many changes at the end of this round with still many can make the8.

Absolutely. Need to finish on a win. May have Podsy back too. Selection awaits.edit: Chris Yarran 5 kicks, 5 handballs - geez he is hot & cold. Mentally fragile, but when he clicks he's a match winner.

I had you covered until Cross went down, and out, I was more than a little bit concerned after that.

You were a bit stiff to lose 10 / 3, as it was a lot closer than that reflection. Well done for hanging in there all season.

I have also 50,000 reasons to celebrate, I got the double.

I need Simpson back asap and cant afford to lose Cross.

OMR might have to be favourite against me this week.

Schofield, Merrett, Jackson will cost you. As long as Thomas and Robinson are back in it will be a 14-1 win. FA's always cost me

Had we played last weekend I would have beaten you 8-7.... and FA's are worth 2 points...

:) Are you "Deestroyem" ?

You wouldnt also be "Flying High" by any chance ? If so, I got the trifecta ^_^

Update: There would have been more chance of winning lotto,than playing the same coach in 3 different leagues on the same weekend. Not a good weekend for your namesake (Christian name) either. He got belted.

You may want to recalculate that... You're 3 games off at the moment...

lol - even if you win 15-0 you only get 1 win for the round which leaves you on 7 wins - at best you can finish 12th if eth loses.

In any case I believe there is finals for the bottom 8 (consolation finals are listed on the link above the ladder)

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
