Hey all,

My mate John has just signed up to the league, so now we have 12 players!  He's never played before but he loves a bit of fantasy footy and is keen to have a crack.

So everything seems to be clicking into place nicely!  Bring on the draft! :)

At least he has a great name ..I will try to look after him.

Sorry folks, I have been out of action for the past week. I will try to get the code out in the next day or so.

Hey OMR,  I reckon I'd be keen to play this year after sitting out last season. Let me know if there is a spot available! Cheers.

I'm keen to go around again. Let me know if you want me to transfer admin rights, or if you are happy for me to push the buttons. Have a think about how scoring worked last year, and whether it n

 please note, these late changes are quite unsatisfactory, Some of us, or at least me, had organised our team around the draft picks organised before John joined us.This workload is very annoying and note I have had pick 7 every year but one, where I had 10.,this is not on, and next year, if we have not got it together earlier, I am out...I feel like pulling the plug now.

That would be annoying for you for sure, but in the end, having a league that works is better than not having something at all. 

The picks in the draft, I believe, are entirely random. Before John joined I had around about Pick 5, now it's 10. That's life I guess. 

I agree though that we need to get things sorted earlier if possible, although that's easier said than done. 

Bottom line is we have a league, and I'm happy to contribute a season preview, weekly reviews etc to get a good atmosphere going!

I'm hearing you JCB and agree the lead up has been a bit messy. However I will take the reigns going forward & keep everything organised in 2018 & beyond.

and by the way it doesn't matter what pick you have or how much pre work you put in as your team is always terrible ?

For the record when I last won the flag in 2016 My first pick was 14. It really makes no difference, as it's all about developing your team and trading.

Good luck everyone in draft tomorrow night ?

@poita - the draft tonight is set as a slow draft, not a live, 60 second draft, so I'm throwing out a late hail mary in the hope you log on here before 8pm tonight and you can change it. Cheers.

Hmm not looking good. If omr doesnt get control before 8 should we quickly start a new league and all join? Or get in contact with mods to allow us to redraft during the week even if some might miss or find it hard?

Not sure. If all 12 teams are present it will still work but I assume Poita has a team? So if he doesn't show the draft won't work. I open to a new league if all else fails.

New League is a great idea if needed.

Poita has pick 2 so this draft will not get off the ground.

Matt - Did you want create it & we can have it on standby for 8.30pm

Risky but might work if we all show.

If you create it now then I'll be happy to quickly sign up and get it going.  Can we contact everyone else?

If Poita doesn't sign up then I'll let my mate John know that we won't need him after all so we have even numbers.

I don't think you understand jayceebee. The league is set for a slow online draft with 24 hours per pick. Poita who isn't here has pick 2. That's where tonight's draft will end. It's a farce.

Unfortunately you can only make the draft for the next day. Has poita been active on demonland recently?

He logged on and posted in a thread on Friday, and by that point we had tagged him in numerous posts asking him to either hand over admin duties or at least fixing the draft date.  He ignored them all.  Hopefully we can change to tomorrow night.

Not only that but I don't even think the Galah's, who have first pick, have shown up either!  

I don't mind if we lose a few players in the next 24 hours as I feel as though those who do will be all over this year and make for a great league.

Couldn't agree more, OMR!  Short term pain for long term gain!

Thanks again for doing this, Matt.

How do we contact all involved?  We should probably aim for 10 players if possible.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
