Hi my team is Dees forever, look like I'm getting the number 1 pick, I like the idea of draft in 12th March

But just in case I don't make it in time, I saved my auto draft settings , cheers

Good stuff Dees (Forever). Any hints who you are thinking for your no.1 pick at the moment - or are you gonna keep that under your hat until draft day? Pendlebury, Swan, Ablett? Do yourself a favour - and get whoever it is to sign a contract extension straight away!

    or if they decide to keep contract talks until end of the season trade them mid season.

    I wonder why AFL didn't have that option?

    Good luck guys in UF, IWAP - doing a great job for all champ. You guys will love the little bit of addiction. The draft in itself and moulding your team over the year with trades gives you a greater ownership and more competitive streak. Let the banter begin...

    I'm actually okay with pick 9, mostly because it means I get relatively consistent picks rather than near-consecutive picks with gaps.

    Two picks in the top 15. Oh yeah.

    I had pick 2 last year and took Goddard, he killed me in the first half of the year. Got to make my first pick count this year.

    Happy with pick 6. Mid table sounds good to me and I've got my strategy worked out, can't wait for the draft.

    Does anybody object to the revised scoring system or have other ideas how to do it? Frees killed me last year so I have an ulterior motive but I think it makes sense. It would be good if they had more catergories, contested possessions, clearances and inside 50's for example.

    any chance of making this league 16 teams?

    We could increase it to 16 teams - but i'm not sure it would be fair given that more teams makes it harder for everyone, and it also messes up the draft order, which so far everyone seems quite happy with (i'm happy with pick 7 - and share a similar sentiment to Striker 475 about consistency of picks).

    I got Joel Selwood with my first pick last year. I felt dirty for getting excited everytime he ducked his head to milk a free.

    I vote yes to making it 16 teams.

    Don't care I'd the draft order changes. It's all random anyway.

    You can set the draft order in the settings, just make sure you write down the previous order before expanding the number of teams because it re-randomises when a new person joins.

    Thanks JA.

    So we can increase the teams, and we can keep the rough draft order we have now (obviously 2 extra picks per round). Firstly do we have 2 extra people that want to participate, and secondly what does everyone else think. Robbo king and Mega Watts are for it. Any more support / opposition to the expansion?

    No problem, as long as there are two definite starters.

    robbo king - we can add your brother in - if we can get a 16th and final player who also wants to join. It won't work well with an odd number. Anyone else out there that wants to join?

    Ok i've set up the league for 16 teams for Robbo King's bro and Striker's mate to join. I think we should just accept the new random draft order unless there are ny major objections

    I'm just having to double-check with him - he has changed his tune on me -.-

    So if anyone has an idea or another DL user wants in, that's fine

    I'm interested. Which scoring system are you guys using? I'd highly prefer the dreamteam system as I play other fantasy games and don't really want to follow two sets of statistics.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
