Cheers, heard a bit of mail that Clark may take a while until he is 100%. Same for Trengove.

Some big calls having to be made re keepers. I've had to throw Leuenberger, Hurley and a couple of others guns back into the draft pool. There'll be something for everyone in the first few rounds of the draft at least.

Agree on the big Keeper calls

I am throwing back : Nick Riewaldt, Heath Shaw, Shane Mumford, Travis Boak, Dayne Zorko, James Kelly & David Mundy.

How the hell didn't I win the flag with that line up?

Tbh I thought you should've won OMR. I don't think the points system we had in place reflected the true strength of sides.

Did we decide which points system we were going with?

I'm happy with whatever.

Does anyone have any objection to ...

Kicks - 3

Handballs - 3

Marks - 3

Hit-outs - 2

Tackles - 3

Free Differential - 1

Points Scored - 4

Kicking accuracy - 2

Total - 21 points

I really think this model will work well. It rewards both attacking and defensive set ups (even more so well balanced line-ups) and with the odd number we're guaranteed a winner in each game.

If no-one objects I think we should lock it in place.

What about goals, RR? Or is points scored a total of 4?

This isn't supercoach so I'm not a fan of kick accuracy. Maybe weigh goals at 3 and goal accuracy at 3?

Points scored is 4 Robbo (not just goals) ... so you get a decent return for your forward line's efforts on the day.

Kick accuracy I think is worth two points because you could say it rewards both straight kicking forwards and also quality backlines who force forwards wide to kick from harder angles.

Yeah I don't like score% much.

I'd have it at 1 and free differential at 2.

I don't like free differential at all.

How about the handballs compromise, reducing that stat to 2? That accurately reflects real game stats anyway.

That would mean a set up like this ...

Kicks - 3

Handballs - 2

Marks - 3

Hit-outs - 2

Tackles - 3

Free Differential - 1

Points Scored - 4

Kicking accuracy - 1

Total Points: 19

What do you think? Still get a result with the odd number.

I don't mind that.

I have no complaints with either, both systems work. As for your two keepers my money is both will miss enormous amounts of games, Definately just leave them to go back into the draft pool ;)

Who are your likely keepers DL7? Need to add to opening post.

Is Trengove cooked, HT?

I've heard that we will keep hearing from the club that JT (and MC) will be returning early season, but don't expect to see JT until after ~ round 8, 45. Will need more time.

Mitch will do everything possible to return and aim for round one, at this stage it appears unlikely. They will want him @100% first. Which kind of goes without saying in the world of AFL. But they will be extra cautious.

Apologies RR, Trent Cotchin and Matthew Priddis are my keepers and Jack Watts is my underage. Ill also have Tom Scully as my other but at the moment it's with a star because I want to see how his NAB Cup goes. Is That okay or do I need to lock in now for good?

I like it, it doesn't guarantee a winner each game, but I do like it!

It changes the way people will draft also

So the site is now allowing me to enter everyone's keepers, but every new person who logs in will reset all my entries.

So the sooner everyone logs in the sooner we'll be able to see who is available to draft from the players tab.

Thanks HT and all. Might wait and see a bit how he's going.

After the trip and starting teaching prep, I haven't had time to follow footy/best XI :o

Well fwiw you're doing a sterling job on Best XI considering your busy schedule. Where was the trip?

Nominated my keepers in the game, but not sure if that's what we were supposed to do so posting here too :)

Rookie Keepers:

Harley Bennell (sorry HT - you miss him for another year :))

Allen Christensen

Senior Keepers

Jarryd Roughhead

Bryce Gibbs

Ok, call me a nervous loser but I have decided to go for Grimes over Goddard...

Just in case, er, the worst happens...

And I got rid of Harwood so Thomas Lynch is my last one:

Grimes

Dangerfield

Ziebell

Lynch

I put them into UF just then.

Goddard could be the only clean player there.. He'd be playing all possies by himself racking up touches, hit outs, tackles etc although think he'll struggle to hit a target...

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.
