Got up and beat OMR....by a heap...proud of my team...thought we were well and trully gone.

. Well done JCB, I was simply outclassed all over the ground today. You are certainly in a rich vein of form at the minute, and to think Stevie J and Lindsey Thomas still to return. This game is all about depth, your team has plenty. I lose Goodes, Crameri and Harry O and the wheels fall off. I hope I can regroup and scramble into the 8 to earn another crack at your super team . Well played this weekend my friend.

    You will...you will be playing off or nearby.

    Two major forwards you missed badly...Harry O..always a good solid earner..the positional changes will be a major actor for me this week.If not will be in the hunt for for a defender...Varcoe maybe the go....as well.

    Best the luck for finals unless you meet me....Robbo is looming as the dark horse and wants to improve his team further..good luck to him.Robbo has always been amongst the best...still, my aim is to make the top 4 - I have ever missed so far.....that is, every year we have had the Norm Smith league, I have been in the top4, that is my current aim.

    If Ican get over Jacko this week, I should achieve it.

    Regards

    JCB 31.....

    Two rounds to go and trading to cease this Sunday night for trading sees coaches need to cover urgently their keepers for 2014.

    They will need to keep 2 senior ( best) players along with (2) rookies born in1992 or later.

    I believe this matter is urgent to gain best players for each coach to qualify to play in 2014.

    The above are rules implemented by JA last year.

    All the best to each coach- not only to gain best team but also for the rest of this season.

    Heading to China soon for further treatment therefore may not be able to wish my opponents all the best later in the finals.

    But be prepared for me still to be competitive and I can assure you I will give my best

    Regards to all

    Good luck, jcb.

    I am pretty sure that Free Agents can be signed up until the Grand Final so for those teams that have 'player signings' left you can use that on a kid to meet your quota of two young keepers.

    There is no need to get that done before the trade deadline.

    Is there just the one league available for the Ultimate format through here? I am in a league at the moment but am keen to do another next year. If anyone who isn't in one at the moment is keen let us know and we might be able to sort something out.

    Cunnerz09, there is also the Robbie Flower league. Although it seems quite competitive, it has nothing on the prestigious Norm Smith League. Keep an eye out around Jan/Feb when the leagues get sorted for next year, I'm sure people will drop out or a third league will be formed.

    Firstly thank you for your kind thoughts, secondly as long as the rookies are picked up by grand final week ..that is ok with me..

    All the best for the finals, if you do not meet me

    Interesting week coming up - 8th is up for grabs still!

    I think Scarlett might have me covered - so I'll be cheering hard for M_M and rpfc this week!!

    And well done to 45HG who leads the race for Pick Number 1 in next year's draft by beating the league leader.

    I will resurrect the thread I started for the AFL as a whole for this - I really like it.

    Does percentage continue to be calculated during finals? I cannot remember if it did last year, however it needs to be kept in consideration so that people don't just disappear in the last 3 weeks

    I completely forgot about the consolation finals...

    With that in mind I would say no.

    It would leave the chance that a strong team that finished 9th could romp in a few wins and sneak a top 3 pick...

    It's really meant for the bottom 5 teams to keep playing and trying to win and doing what 45 did on the weekend.

    I thought the idea was for the bottom 5 teams to keep playing and trying to win through the consolation finals as well? Otherwise this is pretty pointless - you have gotten 1-2 weeks where the bottom teams try, and another 4 where they won't bother...

    The consolation finals is setup for the same reason I set up the % determinator - to try and keep people playing.

    Great Grand Final Scarlett! Seriously mate this premiership was decided by 1 straight kick. What a climax to an amazing season in 2013. Very proud to add OMR onto the Norm Smith League honour board after today taking out the 2013 Premiership. This comp has gone from strength to strength in its 3 year history. I can't wait to defend the title in 2014. Well played to all competitors in 2013. PS: I really just wanted to show off the new signature. :-)

    Congrats OMR, been an awesome year, up until the bye round after that I couldn't buy a win. Looking forward to 2014

    However just a word of caution - if you're going to brag at least get the spelling right!

    [League not leauge] :-P

    Congrats OMR - what a close Grand Final! And thanks all for another fun year - was good to take our minds off the real footy this year :)

    Yes, well done to scarlett and to all.

    I probably should have won the LAST 8 games of the season rather than the FIRST, but you live - you learn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
