Great draft tonight Lads - For the third year in a row totally enjoyed the experiance

There is some nice looking squads been built tonight, however its impossible to make predictions on who has done the best.

Good looking squads on paper quite often fail to deliver when the ball actually gets bounced.

Note to Stinga - Hang on to your forwards champ, Your going to need everyone you can get in round one when you crash head first into my boy's. :)

Cheers OMR...the boys started pre season immediately after the draft in preparation for the clash. It's only a couple of hours in but they are all training the house down and have said it is their best pre season ever. I hope your boys come ready to play!

I got Armstrong and Lucas late so I am happy.

Have gone for a 'WGAF about a ruckman' plan.

Will it work? You'll just have to...No, it will not.

But fun anyways.

The reduction in value of ruckmen from 3 points to 2 will work in your favour.

That said, I went for three of them and am prepared to put Trent West on the table.

not too upset with my draft,

have a few too many tip rats for my fancy, but i have a few dual position players which should help.

took a bit of a gamble, went pretty hard for score and kicks, and then hopefully i can steal one of tackles or marks and that is the winning formula!

although as my first few picks of the draft were done through my rankings, i tried to guess who people would take! was very annoyed once i got to my computer and 2-3 times i had a player locked in and then they got picked up! Lewis Jetta was the one that annoyed me the most :| haha

M_M Lineup for 2013:

BACKS:

M. Golby

A. Carrazzo (B,C)

H. Shaw

M. Hurley (B,F)

L. McPharlin

Centres:

Josh Kennedy

Matt Rosa

Chris Masten

Ryan Bastinac

Daniel Kerr

Nathan Foley

Clinton Young

Luke Parker

Dale Thomas (C,F)

Hayden Ballantyne (C, F)

Forwards:

Lance Franklin

Stephen Milne

Josh Hill

Rucks:

Josh Jenkins (R,F)

Dan Currie

Went heavy on the mids, hopefully the dual position players can mean i will be able to chop and change my side alot, very short in ruck stocks, but hopefully jenkins can play 20 odd games this year solidly and i wont have to worry about it!

who ever i will be playing will definitely win the hit outs category thats for sure!

Nice list MM. Perhaps short on absolute blue chip mids outside of Kennedy, but a team with a nice look about it overall.

For coaches bereft of ruckmen, there are still some nuggets to be found that went unselected - Spencer, Longer and a couple of others I can't remember. Sometimes it is these unheralded guys who can burst onto the scene during the season.

 

Stinga has got Judd on the table looking for a back.

Sorry I can't get into the site till later, but I don't need Centres - I have Armitage, Danger Mouse, OKeefe, Ziebell, Lewis Jetta (F), Lucas, and Wines (and Toumpas).

But a forward can net a centre if anyone is keen...

Armitage, Ziebell, maybe OKeefe or Jetta...

And my backs are Goddard, Hartlett, and Mzungu so unless Armstrong or Nicholson go nuts - I am not looking to trade one of them...

Riewoldt (Nick), Garlett (the Carlton one), and LeCras better kick some goals. Although a number of my centres can kick goals I reckon.

Missed first 5 rounds of the draft and it's brutalised me. My own fault but I got some late picks that I'm happy with. Here's to winning Kicks Marks and Handballs!

My side ...

Mids - J.Selwood, R.Griffen, Hayes, Gaff, Swallow, Shiel

Forwards - Cloke, Schulz, A.Walker (C/F), Hansen, Dalhaus (C/F), M.Walters

Rucks - Jamar, Bellchambers, T.West

Backs - Lake, Burgoyne (B/C), Ibbotson, Ray (B/C), Atley

Mids, forwards and rucks I can't complain but I left my run for decent backmen a bit late. Would consider offers for A.Walker, L.Hansen or T.West that will net me an upgrade on one of my backmen.

Edited by Range Rover

HT's Hurricanes:

Backs: Reilly (B,C), Murphy (B,F), Johncock (B,F), Frawley, D.Grimes

MIDS: Boyd, Dal Santo, Sidebottom, Greene, Cassisi, Kent

Rucks: Kreuzer, Naitanui (R,F)

Fwds: Bartel (C,F), Breust, Podsiadly, Wilkes, Porplyzia, Alwyn Davey, Bolton (C,F)

Overall I thought I could have done better with my forwards selection (missed Tippett, Clark, J.Brown & even Cloke early - but that was more a pipedream snagging him given the draft position - by getting Boyd at 2) and I too left my backs late. Very happy with the quality of my mids range and the flexibility of Murphy, Bartel and Johncock being able to play forward this year. I'm backing Porplyzia to get in a full year this time. My rucks I expect to play their best footy to date this season.

Think I can get some high scoring from the likes of Podsiadly, Breust and even Wilkes may surprise more than occassionally. Hoping to make decent scores up through my mids and a couple of the backs chiming in.

Consideration for early trade: Alwyn Davey. Will hear other offers.

Yeh my mids are not top quality, but i was trying to draft players who mainly kick and can hit the scoreboard, with the weighting of the categories, i tried a different approach to the draft as i felt that midfielders were not as important as a few good defenders and forwards. hopefully it works haha

your fwds look very dangerous, and you took lake one round before i had him pencilled in, which was annoying haha!

If there is an 'odds man' among us it would be interesting to see what the premiership 'tote' would look like for the 16 sides ...

Quite happy with the results. Probably a little short and could do with a second ruck.

I've got a lot of high quality defenders if anyone is short. I'm interested in a quality mid or a Forward/Ruck player

Defenders - Grimes (B/C), Duffield, D.Pearce, Hurn, Malceski, Colquhoun (B/C)

Mids - Redden, Thompson, Barlow, C.Smith, Vince, Crouch

Rucks - Jacobs

Forwards - Clarke, Lynch, Edwards (C/F), Elliot, Siposs , Wellingham (C/F), Beams (C/F)


Hey Robbo, I have little need for a backman and Dangerfield is going to be a top 10 player this year so Grimes just won't cut it.

Danger Mouse is going to be a tough sell...

No problemo.

Rpfc - West/Ray for Hartlett ... ticks all the right boxes.

Well my tick is the only one that matters...


No counter offer?

Don't have time at the minute to have a think about it.

(he says while typing on a forum...)

Thoroughly enjoyed the draft, had the normal wins with getting wanted players but also watched many times others taken just before my picks, Range Rover did it to me on about 4 occasions! H_T as well LOL

As for trades, if the offer came along for Ivan Maric I'd definitely consider it. Would have to be a quality mid or defender to get a deal over the line

Indeed it was a very hard draft. In particular trying to get a balance of good mids, forwards and backs along with a solid ruck pair.

You and a few others succeeded .JA ,Robbo & MM...are the very early favourites along with RR & OMR.

My team is just average but a great centreline,I think.

And more importantly ... how is your health JCB?

Backs : Sam Fisher, Enright, Guerra, Pedersen(B,F), Vlastuin(B,C)

Mids : Swan, K.Jack, Rich, Sylvia (C,F), James (Tackle Machine) Kelly, Joel Cory

Rucks : Goldstein, Pyke, Vickery (R,F)

Forwards : Darling, Patton, Howe, Crameri, Zorko (F,C) Didak (F,C)

Not to dissapointed with this collection, missed the super Power Forward however have several goal kicking Mids.

Grunt should not be an issue, some monster tackle machines among these boy's, a couple of X-Factor forwards,

Backs solid if not spectacular, Vlastuin could be anything, and Pedersens goals & hit outs should come in handy.

Looking forward to what should be another ripping season of Ultimate Footy in 2013

Early days however always keen to listen to any trade offers ^_^

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
