My apologies- surely we will all help out- actually it's just getting started over the next four weeks then we should be able to work together.Looks a great game.HT-I expect you to go easy on me on the first round leaving players like Ablett out and not having a ruckman,or one that is not match fit, also a major forward whom is not right - on one leg. etc.., just to help me along on my first try.

Well written but I was there with Mike Sheahan that night at the Bentleigh club in which I thought Paul Gardner was there as President and the ex Age guy,Steve Harris was then CEO.Mike actually asked the question on the night whether the lack of members showed where the club was at. It was I believe the AGM in 2005 or 2006. Actually, I have never seen Mike at another whether when we were at Canberwell City Hall or our unbelievable evenings in the Dining room at the MCG. Yep- I totally agree - we have come a MIGHTY LONG WAY under the Board lead by Jim & Don and other Board members whilst also under the management of Cam. Maybe before you post it, may I make a suggestion and invite him to next years AGM after we make the 8 ,and Tom Scully and others show their true commitment to the Mighty Dees. I'd love to see what he writes then..GO THE RED & the BLUE.

Fantastic well- someone with experience such as HT maybe able to assist you further as year goes by.I would but don't know what I'm doing this year re the game..

I hope he turns into a champ for the Dees. But we are playing a game that you overseeing.Sorry re job.

Now you would have to be joking. integrity& credability in your current position is paramount, but to say for this season that Howe will be a gun- I say- YOUR KIDDING.Sloane is so far more advanced than him in his career it would be like trading Ablett for Scully .Or asking me to trade Bate for Howe. Seriously get real please.

thanks again Bhima-well done !

Great point you make- please don't be insecure- pop in and have a chat..Scully will stay .However agree- the team is very much more important than any individual.

Cook from Geelong hasn't done a bad job either in delivered/communicated .I'd say at least an equal if not better than Cam.

OMR- you will need to keep rolling on as Sloane will star this year.You will regret big time that you made that post.And to offer Now if anybody is interested in : Richard Tambling ©, Danyle Pearce ©, Josh Hill (F) or John Anthony (F)is an insult compared to Sloane.

I am interested in trades- Sloane of Adelaide may be an interest to some. I think he should be in for a good year, finished off 2010 very nicely. Offers please.

I have Brad Ottens on my list- chosen as a back up ruckman whom I can still utilize as a forward. If I place him as a forward in my team does his ruckwork count as a statistic?. Please advise and thank you.

Before we trade can someone whom has played this game before explain how the scoring is done.Is a forward an extremely important tool. Re does a goal turn out to be 6 pints or the like.Someone explain how the game works before we start trading please.

I'd consider trading as a safe guard- His knee maybe worse than first thought and he may have played his last game already?

Have I got this right. The name of the game here is a coach has 11 players- 3 Backs, 3 Centres, 3 forwards,1 ruckman & 1 utility.Does the utility score as well as the other 10.? The team in total need to combine in stats to be the winning team. Well why is a forward kicking goals that important- the team does not get added points for that- does he. It is a forward that gets most kicks, handballs, tackles that gets the stats up- Correct again - or have like usual missed the plot.Why would Brown be more important that Boyd? Please advise? My list is . Round Pick Player Team Position. 1 (9) Darren Jolly CW R 2 (24) Steve Johnson GE F 3 (41) Sam Mitchell HW C 4 (56) Kane Cornes PA C 5 (73) Michael Rischitelli GC C 6 (88) Brent Stanton ES C 7 (105) Darren Milburn GE B 8 (120) Andrew Embley WC C,F 9 (137) Jarrad Grant WB F 10 (152) Brent Guerra HW B 11 (169) Nathan Lovett-Murray ES B,C 12 (184) Luke Power BL C 13 (201) Grant Birchall HW B 14 (216) Brent Macaffer CW F 15 (233) Brad Ottens GE R,F 16 (248) Ben Johnson CW B,C 17 (265) Rory Sloane AD C 18 (280) Matthew Bate ME F 19 (297) Ryan Houlihan CA F 20 (312) Sam Wright KA B,C 21 (329) Josh Hunt GE B which allowing for my stuff up in first two rounds the list has come good somewhat -however awaiting a hiding from HW. Able to ruck: Jolly,Ottens Centres: Mitchell,.Cornes,Rischitelli,Stanton,Embley,Lovett-Murray,Power,Ben Johnson,Sloane,Wright. Backs-Milburn,Guerra,Lovett- Murray,Power,Birchall,Johnson, Wright, Hunt. Forwards- Johnson,Embley,Grant, Macaffer, Ottens,Bate,Houlihan, Overall I feel I was able to come up with a steady list whom none are world beaters but good solid contributors whom I will be able to cover injury,byes etc..and still be willing to give some others a run for their money.I also think, all rounders that are interchangable is very important. My best buy Luke Power at 184 whom hopefully will cover the early issue in draft selection. A great job by JA and all coaches have done extremely well with their selections

I agree ,maybe- Frawley and Watts in the backline- Garland to the forward line?

I hope he doesn't say he has done his knee and therefore has played his last match for the Dees- now that would be disastrous and no hope of reaching 40000 members..

agree- for next year however you have done a wonderful job- congrats-I'm buggered.

You done very well with your list- congrats..Now, re the Bench list- is it we still have to pick, C, B, F, R, U or just the best 5 players we think are left..please advise..as I may not be able to make it tomorrow night- maybe in the air --may have to make auto..-a reply would be great from someone please.Thanks

1 minute if you like- no 5 is right.Go for it JA

Thanks mate- you have done a stirling job but I think I have sung Silent night 30 times whilst waiting for my pick and I am still goin. Next year hey? Well done my friend -excellent job. Can we switch to 5 minutes tomorrow-I will be in Manila- dreaming about the slaughter by High Tower in the opening game. If we didn't have the auto for SO LONG we would be marching through.What does others think?

Correct-Akermanis told Royal and West whom both was at Visy Oval watching the Bulldogs last Saturday that Fevola was being pushed towards Casey or Coburg.

Please answer my question re the team and how do I pick manually. I was on some automatic if ranks thing last night-if I want to switch to manual-does that mean I just put the players name in and it will take that player? Next year I suggest we make the time limit on drafting to 5 minutes. Would then get it over with in two nights.Great game and thanks JA.

THKS JA- INTO THE SWING OF THINGS..NOW.

Need help seriously re this game. How I have read it we pick 11 players. 3 back, 3 forward, 1 ruckman 3 centres and a utility.These make up the team of 11 players.We then have 5 emergencies and 5 more on the bench -whom we can rotate etc..trade draft etc -Is that correct? PLEASE ADVISE-THANKS

You haven't done too badly yourself- Range Rover and you will give him a run for his money. I will go for the wooden spoon and extra draft picks for next year.
