Anyone hear what happened to Tommy Rockliff post match recently?

 

Dane Beams in a spot of bother too. And Wingard is in some trouble health wise.

That's the latest.

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!

Yep Wingard is injured...same injury that SJ suffered tonight.....sore toes from kicking the ball so much .

Good try HT but...........

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

Cannot wait! My work is not going to be happy with my lack of work output today - hopefully my UF team benefits from it...


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

Oh shiza! Welllllllll I'm fooked

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.

Logged in on the iPad looks like igizmo's are working :)

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

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).

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
