Seeing that our little brother the Norm Smith league have started their thread, i think its about time for our one to start.

Who is in for this year? Preference will go to those who participated last year, but i think there will be a few spots open for any others that want to join. Once you play ultimate footy, you'll have a hard time going back to dreamteam or supercoach.

I want someone else to take over the admin this year. From memory Striker was willing to do it, but might be away for the start (Striker are you around???) or perhaps someone else if he is unavailable?

Returning players

IWAP - The reigning champ!

furiousd - Flying eyeballs

GM11 - Galahs

7-UP - 7-Up

BrunoC - Dark Days

Dr Mubutu - Disgruntled Goats

Striker475 - Sporting GHRP-6ers

robbo king - Saigon Saints

I'm keen. I'll be in Burma for all of Feb, can we have the draft later than that because the interwebs aren't so flash in that part of the world. Better to wait till late in the NAB Cup anyway, gives a formguide and less chance for more injuries before the season proper.

No chance for me to do the admin as I'll be travelling all year. Should make for a pretty ordinary season for the eyeballs but I'm keen to keep my spot in the league, love the Ultimate Footy.

Great to have you back guys! Still awaiting the others from last season, and there is also some room for any new players that may wants to give it a go.

I'd love to hear how your trip to Burma was when you return. I'd imagine it would be a pretty interesting place to tour. I'm thinking mid-March would be a good time for the draft.

Just PM'd you. I'm back in but adminning on my own will be a bit rough - I'm in the US right now and will be until the end of the month, plus I've got another league to commish for. I'm happy to help out and split with someone, but if someone wanted to take over outright it wouldn't phase me either.

Thanks Striker, BrunoC and Doc! Great to see lots of returning faces.

BrunoC - very happy for you to take over the role of admin. I think the easiest way is for you to start a new league, and send us the code and password (either in this thread or via pms). Are you thinking of any rule changes (eg. captains) etc. ?

Still plenty of room for the rest of last year's comp plus some newbies.

Okay I have created the league - will PM everyone the password.

Settings are pretty much the same as last year apart from a few minor tweaks. Season player signing/delisting limit has been reduced to 30 and "weekend signing lockout" is activated (players become restricted FA over the weekend). This means teams who are not quite as active will not be disadvantaged when it comes to signing free agents.

Of course I am willing to change any setting if a majority of the league agrees to it so don't be afraid to suggest changes in this thread.

Live draft is set to 17 March at 8pm (Round 1 starts 22 March). Tell me if this suits you, I can change it if necessary.

EDIT: League ID is 822191

how will the draft order be done?

Think its just the ladder order on the league page - so 7UP would have first pick if we were to start the draft now.

The ladder gets jumbled each time someone joins, so once the 16th team has signed in we will know the final draft order.

8 spots still remaining CMON JOIN UP!!!

After reading some of the reports from the intra-club today, i'm very interested to see where some of our players get drafted.

I'm calling shotgun on Jack Viney. No one else should be allowed to draft him.

Good luck with that. I'm trying to work out just how high to bloody draft him. Is 15th Round too high?

There's a few around this year too - Crouch, O'Meara (although will he get a game?), Wines, Whitfield (same as JOM), Stringer....

EDIT: Good guess - he's projected under UF rankings at 235 which puts him in the 14th round.

my brother, who was Daves Demons, has returned 'DB'

Good to have him back. Shame he was absent for the first half of last season because he had a pretty decent side and would have been a finals contender.

Viney a little underwhelming tonight in terms of his fantasy output - still should be a solid mid-round selection given the 'inside' nature of his game. Toumpas impressive seems to be a natural accumulator, knows where to run. Kent a potential bargain late round selection.

Was his first year of UF, didnt have a clue what to do strategy wise. He was used to super coach, expect him to be better this year... just like his brother. ^_^

6 spots still up for grabs

Just to clarify the scoring system for any new players who might be interested in joining.

There are 9 categories weighted as follows:
Kicks- 2 points
Handball- 2 points
Marks- 2 points
Tackles- 2 points
Hitouts- 2 points
Goals- 2 points
Frees For- 1 points
Frees Against- -1 points
Scoring Accuracy- 1 points

So if your team gets more kicks than your opposition for the round you will score 2 points. If you score 8 points you win the round. Teams consist of 18 players (6 Forwards, 5 Centres, 6 Backs, 1 Ruck) plus a captain.

The site is very user-friendly and will only require you to log in for 5 minutes each week to select your team. Give it a try you will not regret it!

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
