Are you in this season Wreckers?

How can you keep " The Wrecker " out....

Went away last year to Sth Africa and still won and gees " does he throw it up"

And wouldn't shout even if a shark bit him.

I have tried to contact RR without glory .

Tried Demonology without success.

We need 14 or 16 players but cannot keep changing.

Robbo has done a Stirling job so far so we need to keep to current rules.

We have had plenty of time to make our present/s known....

Sadly if we cannot reach RR unfortunately that's life.

However, need to try to do something re for Scarlett...we need to do our best for him, he also had a torrid time of it last year....always late of the mark our boy, Scarlett.

But as Robbo put it, if we cannot get 15, then 14 will have to remain.

Unless our guru RFPC or another player/ coach can come up with another almighty suggestion to help Robbo and us.

Hi All. I have received an invite from Robbo (thank you) and have joined the league as PC Demons. If original coaches return I am happy to make way, but I am looking forward to being involved. Obvious

The leadership of Robbo (and promise to ditch any rubbish) was enough to get me in.

Although Take care and have a great game

Glad you liked it, OMR. I'd put myself at about 100-1 of going back to back.

Even at my best I was mid table in all stats. No idea how last year happened.

If my memory serves me well wrecker, it was more a case of last man standing last year, late season injuries and suspensions destroyed everyone coming in to the finals

Thanks again to Robbo for his great work in organising this. I'm not overly worried about the categories used for scoring, but I am a bit concerned about increasing the size of the league further. If we end up at 16 teams that pushes the possible draft time out past five hours. That is a hell of a long time, particularly if it goes after midnight. It also dilutes the player pool a fair bit, which I guess could sort the wheat from the chaff (so to speak).

It won't go that long. Early picks normally take 10-15 seconds and towards the end people generally auto pick. I recon we'll be done in 2- 2 1/2 hours.

If we do get 16 players they will get picks 15 and 16. Otherwise it will stay as is. Scoring will remain as is for this season and we can re-assess next year.

Evidently your memory is absolutely rubbish.

The way I recalled it, the mighty wreckers were missing their best 16 players and took out the rest of the once all-conquering top 4 who had every single player in, fit and firing.

Glad I sorted this misrepresentation out in time.

There is one thing for sure-- you are full of it Bow tie..

For sure you are a very good player/ coach but I can assure you - 13,14 or 15 others will be trying to knock you of your purch....

Speak to you all on draft night.....

Alright so Scarlett has signed up and demon mil will be joining. We will now have 16 teams and these two players will take pick 15 and 16.

Everyone's second pick has moved back slightly and it will be reflected in Ultimate Footy once demon mil has joined.

Ah, one thing - we have emergencies for every position but the threshold to use them is 0% so the only times they would be used is if there are late changes - an injury 5 minutes in won't change the named player to the emergency (which is a new aspect of UF). I am ambivalent, just letting people know that the Emergencies are only for late changes.

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
