I will have to move it, turns out I'm in NZ for a conference that weekend.

Enjoy NZ.

I am not sure but the 17th I will have a supercoach draft...

AFL starts on 22nd so maybe we do it on the 17th and I suck it up...

3rd might be a tad early...

RPFC - As of today I also have a SuperCoach Draft on the 17th March.

I am in favour of March 3rd , from memory we drafted much earlier in 2012

Over to the masses for input, my vote MARCH 3

the week long draft with 10 hours between picks could also be an option, if its hard to sure up a time!

it stops people from missing the draft and having to rely on their pre draft determined picks

The only problem with a long time between picks is that it's impossible to know how long you actually have.

If you've just had a pick and its ten hours between, your next pick might be 350 hours away or it could be less than an hour away. I think it needs to be short and sharp.

Yes, and mid-week is tough for me as I have footy training Tues and Thurs and bball Weds.

March 3 is ok - I mean, injuries pre-season are unfortunate but they happen...

That and it'd potentially take 6 months to complete the draft...

March 3 isn't good for me. I'm stupidly driving to Renmark to watch the Dees play. You can't punish me for this can you??

We can and will!

Look, I am good for Monday nights usually...

We could do the 18th?

How are Monday's?

And, IIRC, we can split it up should it get to 'long in the tooth' so to speak...

With people playing sport, maybe we could have this over 2 weekday evenings, starting at maybe 8:30? Have 2 minute time limit per picks between 8:30-10:30?

I think MOnday 18th is winning for me.

Slow drafts do not work, and I can't configure it like you have said here robbo.

ANy complaints about Monday? It is impossible to get everyone at once, this might have to do. 7:00pm is my preferred time, but happy to be guided.

Posted

Yes, 18th of March (I take it's not Mon 18th of Feb) is good by me. If we could push it back a bit from 7pm ie.8pm?

Last year I was in all sorts at 7pm (kids) and ended up with LeCras (knee)...lol (if you all remember - my fault I know) *sigh*

edit:

Still a fan of Sunday March 3rd.

If it has to be Monday 18th 7.00pm can we at least stick to 60 seconds between each pick.

This was so much better than our 1st attempt in 2011 @ 5 minutes between picks.

Prefer 7.00pm start if Monday.

I normally work 12 hours on Monday's so every chance of falling asleep mid draft if we start to much later.

We will be done by 9.00pm if we start at 7.00pm.

You should have no trouble making you Basket Ball Game @ 10.10pm

JCB - Does not seem to have landed in the Comp yet?

Come on boy's we need to get around JCB and assist him with his entry.

Old Monster Head has been an integral part of this comp since day one, wouldn't be the same without him.

PS : Who's Hollywood? Happy to have him onboard just need him to identify via Demonland Name before we start sledging!

Posted

Hollywood is last year's premier; Watt's Cook'n. Demonland name: Jurrahcain.

He's not a prolific poster on demonland, but he reads it regularly.

Also i'm placing a ban on him naming himself after Melbourne players.

I am wavering on Goddard over Grimes now...

When is the deadline for Keepers (I guess it depends on when the draft is...)

. I would definitely roll the dice on Goddard.

Grimes will slot nicely into my back line on draft day! :lol:

    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

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.

    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
