2014 Demonland Dream Team Comp


DeeVoted

Recommended Posts

Love your work DV, please include Roys Boys again

Thanks for the compliment, 1st and only. Good to see you back for another season.

Any preference on AFL Fanasty ot VS Dream Team? vote now if you have.

I forgot to mention. Of the 18 coaches listed in the Legends League (1st thread) only 5 coaches have yet to confirm for the Legends League. I wont name and shame, they will if they are interested. But its going to be tough and hard fought in that league is my guess.

There are still plenty that havent confirmed for the Tridents League as yet. We still have another League "Redlegs" IF required.

Anyone interested to join a league post your intentions and I'll add you to the list, waiting to be allocated.

The voting to play the Demonland comp on either AFL Fantasy or Virtual Sports expires this Saturday. AFL Fantasy is the most favoured atm.

Apart from having a spanner thrown in the works when VS Sports and the AFL decided to go their own seperate ways,everything else has been going relatively smoothly. My job has been made easier with everyone getting their confirmations in early. For those not aware, we had over 50 players in 3 leagues last year,some unidentified, so I had no idea who some were that played in 3 leagues. I knew some were not registered on Demonland, and I expect some of the same when I post a code for a league in the coming weeks. Every Demon supporter will be able to join one of our leagues and play if they wish too.

Although not a enforced requirement, I would urge anyone that only reads these threads and want to compete in a league to sign up to Demonland (even if it is just to express an interest just to play DT) and then be allocated to a league suited to their DT ability, everyone in theory in a league of equal footing.

Towards the end of the 2013 season I requested confirmations for 2014 to gauge an idea if it was going to be worth my while sorting through all the coaches and then sort everyone into a league. We had enough to fill almost 2 leagues, then my job began. The idea for an tiered DLand DT / SC comp began in 2011.

I then began to save the names of the coaches in our very 1st league, the name of that league in 2011 was DT Demons Legends League. I suspect some of these players as still with us today, under the guise of a different DT team name or a different DLand Username or both. ( I may post this data, some interesting names back then) some may recognise themselves, from back then. Our 1st Premiership winner back then was Muppets 1st XVIII, I'm not sure if that is related to the Muppets 1st XVIII today. The next GF winner was Mega_Watts in 2012. Then last year we had 3 leagues, Toumpas' Souvalaki, Cellar Dwellers and Z's r coming, all winning a GF in their respective leagues. The "Rookie" league had 7 players qualify into the 'Legends League", more than any of the 3 leagues.

Last year we had the qualifying leagues for the 1st time, and this year will be the 1st year that the idea from 2011 begins. Having said all that,along with some background history, the Leagues are only as good as the players involved, its YOUR comp to enjoy and how successful it remains relies on retaining the numbers , I just do a bit of organising.Getting confirmations in as early as possible really helps organise the comp. So thanks to everyone for making my task a bit easlier, now I hope the "Legends League" kicks some butt in the overall standings in Dream Team. The Legends are the best we have on DL, I'm expecting some competive games amongst them. Good luck to those 18 players.

There are 5 vacant spots still reserved for the Legends League, I hope at least 2 more confirm before the cut off.Should these 5 players not return next in line to be promoted are in order of...

1: Darkhorse

2: Kervo's Kaos

3: Roo's Boys

4: Marvel Mavericks

5: Muppets 1st XVIII

Next week I will PM out the code for the Legends League, so those that are playing in this league, keep an eye on your PM notices.

There is will be a short delay then the invites will be sent to those qualified for the Tridents League. (including the new players for 2014)

Then a code will be made public and posted in this thread for the Tridents league allowing non DL users to fill this league, and if needed another code if another league is required. Any Demon supporter and DT player shouldnt miss out on joining a league.

While we wait for the deadline for voting to end we can begin to get people into the "Group" league.

Select one or both links if you playing both versions. Keep in mind the comp looks to be heading to AFL Fanasty.

You do need to be logged in before using the links below.

1: VS Sports DT http://afldreamteam.virtualsports.com.au/?p=group&type=corporate&group_code=722488

2: AFL Fantasy https://fantasy.afl.com.au/classic/index.html#/league/10871/about?code=32ECDP3H

I tested the links both worked for me. If you have problems joining, try opening the "Your Leagues" option and select create / join a league.

Enter the code and you should join the Group.

Virtual Sport Code = 722488

AFL Fantasy Code = 32ECDP3H

Failing that, scan through Leagues to join find

Demonland - Private Group (for Virtual Sports web site)

AFL Fantasy Group Name is Demons Supporter Group

Anyone can join the Group League. But you do need to be registered on either Web Sites.

Karma will catch up with whoever knicked it. Someone might remember but I'm sure in the past, multiple teams with the same name could be used.

Roo's Boys is a VG alternative.

I take it your post as posting a confirmation on behave of someone without a Demonland username? If so, thats not a problem until I need to verfiy or contact this person.I dont have a Howezat on my database from 2013. PM an email addy if you can. In the meantime I'll stick him/her on the 2b added list.

There looks to be a few coaches without a demonland account, it makes it a lot easlier to organise if they do have one. If I post the codes publically we could have anyone joining the wrong league. Then I have to kick them out and get them in another league.It then gets messy.

If anyone knows someone that is in the Legends league or have qualified for another league, and dont have a Dland account, If they can Pm me their email address I'll contact them. There will be a public DT league (Reglegs?) that everyone will be able to join up and play. I'll post this code in this thread. I'll have a better idea once more confirmations come in and crunch the numbers.

Deevoted,

I can't remember my D'Land comp name. But I operate under Howezat in DT

Deevoted,

If you were in one of the 3 D'land leagues last year, you should see your team name listed. The lists for all 3 leagues are posted in the 1st page of this thread.

If you somehow have been overlooked let me know I;ll adjust the database.

I have you and a number of others in the Tridents League. The invites for the Tridents will be send out late this week or early next week. The legends have just been notified and waiting a bit longer for them to respond. Then the Tridents are next to be sent out their PMs, when they have responded then the code will posted in here to fill that league.

We are waiting for 3 teams to join the Legends league, and have 1 team yet to confirm. 2 teams from the Tridents league have already been promoted.

Next in line should they be required to make up the 18 in the Legends league are

1. Roo's Boys
2. Marvel Mavericks
3. Blease's Wheezes
4. Muppets 1st XVIII

The above are in limbo in case they are needed to fill the vacant spots. The remainder of the Tridents League have been sent their PMs.

I have successfully joined the TRIDENTS league. I have the highly original team name of " Al's Demons". Hoping not to trade out before finals as I do in SC.

Big thanks to DeeVoted for setting this up.

NP Al, I hope you enjoy the comp.

There is a glitch with the Supporter Group League that I am trying to sort out. The player limit is 18 its supposed to be unlimited. Anyone trying to join will probably see league is full. I hope to fix this without having to delete the Group league and start from scratch.

Seriously excited gents.

Hope you're all ready to be beaten by Ricky's favourite chicks!

I refuse to let a bunch of chicks beat me. I may lay down for a few, but losing isnt why I play :)

Besides bump up the age bracket x min 10, I may relent. ..... U16s?? As Greg Champions sang.. "you could get arrested for that"

Jiagars and Lord Travis are holding up the next phase. I'm waiting on them joining their league. I'll give them a bit longer before seriously thinking about promoting 2 teams from the Tridents league.

When that is settled, the Tridents league code will go public, for non DLanders to fill the vacant places left.

NB: If anyone hasnt joined the Demonland Melbourne Supporter Group, could they try joining, and let me know if it there is still a problem joining.

AFL Fantasy all the way.

It's got an open league too, and the design of the site is far superior.

I usually play the AFL site version (previously DT now AFL Fantasy) but have moved to VS Dream Team this year. Trades every week and not having to lock your team until round 2 in AFL Fantasy takes almost all skill out of it and everyone ending up having close to identical sides by the half way mark.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
