Not long now.

7:30 tonight.

Went a little hard on the amber liquid last night celebrating Silencing The Pies supporters

Head is just starting to clear - Should be back up & firing by 7.30pm

Thumbs up from me also JA for all your efforts this Pre-Season to date.

I am sure its a tough gig at times & you have been all over it & very informative.

Now who to take at Pick 4?

Posted

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...

Here we go!!!!!...

...

...

Oh. I have 17 minutes til my first pick. Might go make some tea.

Please and thanks!!!

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.

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.

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
