So I reckon we should get 1 more person and cap it at 10, given the draft is next week.

I just realised that i won't be able to make it to the draft (i might be able to pop in for a pick or two) but i'll set some pre-rankings.

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.

Left Burma today IWAP, overnighter in Bangkok and off to India tomorrow. Might make a day or two of the Delhi test that starts on the 22nd, spewing I don't have my Dees jumper with me, always wanted to wear it at an International sporting event.

Anyway Burma is fantastic, Bagan and Inle Lake were the highlights. Bagan has nearly 3000 pagodas in a few square km's and they are 1000+ years old. Another 1000 or so were knocked down in an Earthquake in the late 70's. Shwe Dagon Pagoda in Rangoon is awe inspiring. It's a massive complex and the original, which is now buried deep within the main pagoda, is over 2000 years old. Legend says it has a hair of the Buddha at it's heart. It's topped off with an 80ct diamond and the whole place is covered in gold, jade and gemstones. You literally walk off the poverty ridden streets of Rangoon into scene of wealth you can't imagine. I went twice and the second time was on a full moon festival. You couldn't move, it was a seething mass of humanity.

If you're thinking of going I'd try to make it soon. The place is uninfluenced by the west atm but it won't stay that way for long. Hotels can be hard to find as they're not equipped to deal with the numbers flocking in since Aung San Suu Kyi gave the go ahead for tourists to return. Prices are fantastic except for hotels, supply and demand has pushed their prices up, but everything else is incredibly cheap. $2 for a 700ml bottle of the local whiskey, 40c for a pack of ciggies (found a brand called Red and Blue and stuck with them for the entire trip, just under the Red n Blue it says supremacy, if only), and you can fill your belly for under $2.

Sorry everyone else for this little indulgence but I'm still buzzing from the trip, had a fantastic time.

Think i might change the draft date to Monday 18th at 8pm. I have another draft on Sunday starting at 9pm so it would certainly make it easier for me. Anyone have a problem with this?

I will make the league public either tomorrow or Sunday. Think we need at least 14 teams otherwise rookies become a bit redundant which would be a shame. Any Demonlander's still wanting to join the login details are..

Sounds like one hell of a trip Furious D, and thanks, I enjoyed the read. Major jealousy happening here (especially with regards to going to the Dehli test). I'd love to go visit at some stage (pending approval from Mrs IWAP), and lets hope they don't get democracy so the place doesn't get ruined :)

Fine with me - i may have to still do some autopicks for some of the draft, but I'm pretty awesome at this game, so i think its only fair i have some sort of handicap :D

sorry for the inconvenient boys, but my brother is moving abroad for studying reasons this year, and that will mean he will be a little behind in keeping up with Ultimate Footy, and hes decided to pull out. I will still be in the league, but he wont be. He passes on his apologies. I'll make sure he withdraws from the league sooner rather than later

No probs man, probably for the better.

I think 14 teams is enough so i've closed the league. Final draft order is...

1. Dyl's Pickles

2. The reigning champ

3. Billy Bass

4. MaxTwenty

5. Saigon Saints

6. Galahs

7. Dark Days

8. Macca muts

9. Gibba's best

10. Sporting GHRP

11. flying eyeballs

12. Ess Flynno

13. 7up

14. Archer of Loafcrosse

Missed the start and got Cox on autopick. Not the way i would have gone about it - but i can work around it :)

Nice drafting! I ended up with about 6 or 7 autopicks cause i kept getting distracted on other things, but reasonably happy with my team!

Happy enough with my team. Forwards a little weak but my back's and mids look strong.

Bellchambers/Hale combination should win me the hitout category most weeks.

Lost the internet for about 6 picks in the middle of the draft, not too bad for India, some days the power is out all arvo. Very weak back line but not unhappy with my picks.

If anyone needs to trade backs for mids let me know and we can work something out.

I couldn't make it to the draft, but I guess in my Pre Draft I focused on midfielders too much, I have Josh Caddy, Brad Crouch Oliver Wines and Koby Stevens in bench, Willing to listen to offers if interested.

BrunoC - looking forward to the grand-final rematch. Both of us 4-0 heading into it, should be a classic!!!


I am just glad one of the best two teams going to end up with a loss this week.

  • 3 weeks later...

WOW Tom Lynch with 10 goals, this guy was a free agent pick-up 2 weeks ago,

so glad I picked him up,

And look like I'm beating The Reigning Champ, will be a massive win if it happens,

Playing in the first semi finals against Macca's Muts, Who surprisingly lost in the qualifying final ?

Good luck to everyone in final 3 weeks

  • 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.

    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?

    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.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
