Also buddy looked seriously underdone and parker has an injury to the eye which the extent is not yet known, whoever has them unlucky!

edit: ah shiza, thats me

edit x 2: great advice for everyone with keepers that are injured, keep them, i did it with my first pick Dale Thomas last year, all season, and he rewarded me with 5 games!

That's the latest.

Masten will have a better year than Thomas....Thomas will suffer from Maltlove before the end of the season.

I've changed my mind about Bugg and would like to add him as one of my keepers if its not too late.

So Ablett, Kennedy, Treloar and Bugg

Draft Day is here, hope everyone is ready for the tough season that will be ahead, already in preliminary chats with a few high profile player, all who have declared their want to play under M_M, so lets just allow them their wish and no one draft any of the top 30 players that are available after keepers. Thanks guys

Draft day is here. It starts at 7:00pm and it's a quick 'Live draft' meaning everyone gets 1 minute per pick.

Can everyone please try and log in a couple of minutes before 7:00 and now is your chance to set your pre-draft ranking.

Good luck

4 Hours to go, getting very excited........

Good Luck all for a productive draft......

& don't forget to focus solidly on your selections from pick 11 to pick 20

That my friends is where I built my Premiership from in 2013.............

Early draft selections exciting but the real work starts at the half way point of the draft.......

Yep just lost a hour of productivity working on pre draft selections...... Paper work building up big time.

Just remember guys - in years gone by the draft needed to be done on a real computer not an iPad/iPhone due to flash or some other silly computer thing thing doesn't work with igizmo's

MM I am going to attempt using the iPad first - just cos I can't stand the laptop, then if it fails jump on the lappy. It may have been addressed this year to work better - who knows. I just hope they the get phone app working again for the actual competition

I doubt il get onto an actual laptop til like 7:30 was hoping to use my phone for my first couple picks! Just hoping my pre draft settings go okay!

After reading previous posts - I'm feeling incredibly unprepared.

Yeah I wouldn't be too concerned there Wrecker. I was only doing things as a means to procrastination! And even then achieved a grand total of SFA. :-)

Live Draft room opens up 15 minutes before 7, log on, click on the pre-season draft tab and the link should be there.

If it's like last year you'll have to turn off auto selections.

Pretty happy with the amount of possibilities that i can play over the field, although two injured forwards leaves my depth a little light there, will be interesting to figure out how i line up! i didnt look to see if we have bye weeks off or not, that could be my trouble as i have a few hawks, geelong and swans players

overall happy with the squad - although certainly wouldn't have nabbed Monfries (especially early as happened) without an iPad freeze (prompting the change to a laptop) although I think he's ok in the scheme of my squad. Missed on a couple after having my pockets picked but hey that happens in a draft, hopefully I can go deep into the year with this squad

Posted (edited)

Very happy with my squad to be honest. Getting Jobe Watson at pick 3 was an absolute shock...can't believe he wasn't nominated as a keeper to start with (let alone get through to pick 3).

My first 3 picks (Watson, Leuenberger, Westoff) we're all in my top 10 "wish list"...so very happy with that.

Midfield is great on paper (Pendles, Watson, Boak, Wellingham, Carazzo, Conca, Caddy);

Defence not bad (S.Thompson, Murphy, Lumumbu (aka Harry O), Atley, Mackie);

Rucks got potential (Leuenberger and Zac Smith);

Forwards are versatile (Lindsay Thomas, Le Cras, Westoff, Mayes, Butcher, Zach Merrett ).

Can't wait for the season to start now.

We'll done gents....and great work Jarka. Very well run comp so far.

I take it you don't read the papers, Stinga? ;)

Hahaha. Indeed I do. But I have also read that even if they get infraction notices, nothing will happen until late in the year anyway. If they have a case to answer, they would apparently face the commission after round 15 (by then I hope to be well and truly entrenched in the finals on the back of Jobe's 30+ touches and 2 goals a week).

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
