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,

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
