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)

Edited by snomed


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

JCB 13

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

Montagna will miss the first game.


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.

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: 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.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
