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?

    Is Trengove cooked, HT?

    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.

    Also wondering if i should be keeping Jobe & Ryder given what's going on at the dons.

    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 ;)

    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?

    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...

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
