Now who to take at Pick 4?

Pick 11 and a berocca for pick 4 ? :)

In case anyone here forgot, the draft is tonight @ 7:30. Jump online now!

 

The draft program isn't up and running. Does it actually start at 7:30? Or is that just when you're able to log in?


Got it. Had ot click on the league page...

Thanks for everything JA,although system crashed and I missed some picks,that's life. Look forward to a great season.

Selwood, Bartel, Power and Dangerfield in the guts, Jamar and Hale in the ruck, Pods, Betts, and the Porpoise in the forward line, and Grimes, Batram, Clarke, and Nick Smith/Nicholson/Smedts in the backline.

I am betting on my guys to kick goals, win the ruck and compete in the tackles and marks.

Will it work out for rpfc?

Find out, this year on Ultimate Footy and Demonland.

Is LeCras going for LARS surgery ... I certainly hope so...

Very Nice squad RPFC

Swanny, Sylvia, Sheuy & Jonesy my main mids

Mummy in the Ruck

Mitch Clark my No.1 Forward & Heath Shaw, Burgoyne, Harry taylor & Josh Gibson holding the backline together.

Hoping Team OMR gets away to a flyer.

Hrm - I missed the start of the draft and made a couple of mistakes before figuring out the ordering for autopicks so missed a couple.

Not too disappointed with the team, though. Certainly not the best.

Indeed, my if we do the keeper league suggestion (is that what's happening) I may be happy with my team in future years!

Esp with Trenners, Watts, Gaff, Sidebottom, Beams, Hibberd, Swallow, Whitecross, Dawes, Curnow, Blease, Saad, de Boer, Prestia, Lynch, Tapscott, Talia and Swift.

Indeed I just named pretty much my whole list. My only old dudes are Jolly, Morris, Malceski, Gram and Renouf (5 out of 24).

Not overly impressed with my picks. Like JA, strategy soon went out the window. With the exception of LeCras, very happy with my forwards - Pavlich, Riewoldt (the Nick variety), Reid (Swans), Howe in particular with the addition of Kreuzer and Matera.

Have an even spread of mids with no big name guns. Mundy being the biggest who gave good service in large patches last year. Picked him up relatively late - but that may have something to do with the fact he hasn't resumed yet; but he isn't far away. My backs are ok, nothing flash.

Ruck could be a weakness. .. hmm.

Open for trades, boys.... LeCras anyone ? :)

Backs: Goddard © Hurley Grundy Hurn ... Schoenmakers R.Shaw Buntine

Centres: Griffen (vc) Kerr Rich D.Swallow Bastinac ... Armitage Conca Polec Atley

Forwards: Waite Jurrah O'Keefe Byrnes ... Callinan

Rucks: Leuenberger ... J.Griffen Sellar

A nicely rounded squad, quality across the park and a smattering of dual position players in Hurley (B/F), Goddard (B/C), O'Keefe (C/F), Rhys Shaw (B/C) and even Sellar (R/F). No Swan or Ablett in midfield but my on-ball rotations bat deep and opposing defences will have their hands full with a Waite - Jurrah forward line combo. Grundy and Hurn to provide the rebounding grunt in defence and very happy to secure one of the comp's elite tap ruckmen in Leuenberger with my second pick, #21 overall.

Precociously talented youngsters D.Swallow, Bastinac, Conca, Polec and Atley should also give Range Rover fans plenty to crow about heading into round 1, with any and all of them possibilities to have break-out seasons.

Open to trading J. Griffen if someone needs a decent ruckman. Averages 30+ hit-outs and 14 possies a game. Dare I say it ... we couldn't believe our luck when he slid to #309. Make me an offer ...

Game on ladies!

Oh man...

Having the last pick sucks. Don't ever ask for it. That's my advice.

Redden and Mitchell in the midfield, with hanneberry, Gysberts and McKenzie as only solid B graders in my starting lineup... Some issues with durability there. I don't even think Gys will be in our starting 22 at the start of the year.

Backs I get on early, got Van Berlo and Scott Selwood. But then fumbled and bumbled to Farren Ray (born again Fiora) and Guerra... again B graders in my starting lineup.

Forward line is Jack Riewoldt (is he still in one piece?), Leigh Adams (who?), Tyrone Vickery who's a ruckman moreso and Jack Darling as again, more B graders with wobbly A graders.

Ruckmen I failed on miserably... Missed Macintosh who I had earmarked the whole draft. Ended up with Ivan Maric as a starting ruck, and Ayce Cordy as backup... yikes.

Very weak. And to make matters worse I thought Patton wasn't out all year, but now I see he probably is. A good keeper player, but jeez, won't get anything out of him this year... Or for the next three years... Probably will move him on early this year.

VERY poor drafting from last year's grand finalist. Open to trading all and sundry. :)

I am the master of the dual positions

B/C - heppell, mackie, Ibbotson, broadbent and first year mature age Morris

C/F - Chapman, rioli, embley and first year mature age Zorko

B/F - the Chad

I'm hoping it pays dividends in bigger stats for my fwds and backs - my midfield may not be great - Brennan, Moloney, magner, shiel and....... tom scully. Sandi in the ruck needs stay injury free

Might be able to help you out with Hamish Mac

Make me a decent offer & we can see what unfolds

 

He had to go somewhere JA, I'm just thinking that on the off chance that he was playing within himself last year - he may be handy at UF this year.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • 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.
