Heads up - Redden selected for one of my keepers ahead of Sidebottom.

I am reactionary, what can I say.

Done RPFC.

So that's it for keepers unless a major injury occurs. Just a reminder that the draft is set for Monday 3rd of March, starting at 7:00pm. Each pick is 1 minute.

Good luck!!

also, letting everyone know, after much deliberation with the coaching panel of M_M and our new franchise owner, we have decided to offer Dale Thomas the much sought after keeper spot instead of Chris Masten.

There will be a press conference later today, but he is very happy to be doning the light blue with red and yellow vs.

Thanks MM, as previously mentioned I'll allow changes to the keepers up until the day before the draft due to injuries. Everyone has until this Sunday to finalize their keepers, the reason for this is that it gives everyone a week to work on their draft strategy but if anyone changes their keepers then the 'pre-draft rankings' section has to be redone. I don't want anyone to be disadvantaged due to a late injury but I also don't want people to lose all their work unnecessarily.

Enjoy the holiday!

Hi, with regards to MM wanting to change keepers re Mastens for Thomas- I am against the change.

You have made the rules do everyone knew....that being that keepers are locked in unless injury.

I cannot see that Mastens is injured, if he is, then I accept the change, if not your rule applies and it should be disallowed IMO.

The injury change was in regards to Thomas, due to him only playing his first game yesterday and continual speculation about his injury status, it was impossible to lock the keeper without the knowledge. I didn't want to be stuck with a keeper who was on the indefinite injury list the whole season

Edit: it was immediately after the game he played and it is still a week til draft day, having said that if it is an issue with all, am happy to stick with Masten

It's fine.

Jarka has said that people can make changes up until the draft - it is a gratuity that we give ourselves a week to look at the available number of players.

We simply do not need to make this so draconian.

My first reaction is that I won't allow MM's change, and that's purely from the point of view that I was wanting to pick Thomas up quite early myself.... :)

I did make the rule, however this game is meant to be a bit of fun, we're not playing for sheep stations and I don't want to start the season off on a negative note. I put it in place to get everyone organised and to set the keepers, and it achieved it's desired result. MM has been on holiday and probably hasn't been able to commit enough time to setting it up properly, so I'm going to allow it. I apologise to anyone who now has to redo their pre-draft selection list.

Thanks very much :)

I do apologise!

Yeh the life of a uni student, 10 weeks of travel has been awesome! Now I'm back and ready for the real deal!

 

Ok...accept our Managers rule, therefore, I have been having Cancer treatment....can I change my keepers too?

Please advise, thank you


I'd like to change my keeps, also, from Beams, Prestia, Kerridge, Crouch to Beams, Prestia, Crouch, Kerridge to reflect the projected rankings.

Seriously JCB, anyone who was going to nominate Masten as a keeper won't be one to worry about this season ;)

Speaks volumes about the quality of my list from last year ;)

Will improve..I think

JCB, if you want to change them just let me know

Sincere thanks for your kind offer...just wanted to suck someone or some in....Gee I did not think I would ever suck in a Moderator...

I thought about changing montagna for Stanton as I have just been told this week that Montagna cannot play first week due to suspension, whichI honestly did not know due to Cancer treatment in China..

However as I do not to upset a Moderator ,I will belt him in a game...

If you don't want to upset me, don't belt me!

My keepers:

Patrick Dangerfield

Jarryd Roughead

Harley Bennell

Joe Daniher

(note I swapped Daniher in for Viney)


Big call there snomeD - reckon young Viney is going to rip it up this year

Understandable I suppose.

Can anyone please advise me whether Montagna can strip first fame in 2014,

Thanks in anticipation

Na- just RASSIN....but I always try to WIN.

Montagna will miss the first game.

Thank you....another question, are the point system the same as last year, where do we find these on Ultimate footy site, please advise.

  • Author

Points are the same as last year, the settings tab under the League heading.

I hear Steve Johnson could be going in for corrective surgery for a badly damaged finger soon even though he'll take the field tonight. Unconfirmed. But likely to miss first half of season. Is he anyones keeper?

 

I heard Gary Ablett, Dane swan, Pendles and any other Keeper I don't have wee also going in for preseason surgery as well......,

  • 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?
