To anyone who would like to join a Demonland only draft league the number is 687633. I have set the number of teams to 10 but can adjust from 4-18 teams depending on interest.
It's great fun and hope to have this going yearly.
(Was going to create a new thread but all the SC fanatics are here and hope this is OK with DeeVoted to post here)
Will PM those on here to try and boost numbers asap.

The draft at this stage will take place at 11am Saturday 12th March but can be adjusted. Don't worry if unavailable for the draft just fill out you pre-draft order and you will be assigned players automatically.

Cherrs!

That league doesn't exist in Supercoach

Count me in, The Reimannators

It says there are 4 new key forwards in the top 50 so I'd say Jesse is there, deservedly or not

So Jake was the one behind it all? 

Ha ha ha, that's hilarious. It's over now, he's not playing this year and we lost a pick in the 20's but Viv will be a senior player again. LETS ALL PANIC!!! I don't see this trade as being of any huge consequence to us this year so why the venom?

He'd be our best midfielder straight away, by quite a margin. Only Hogan would be ahead of him in terms of Top 10 players.

I think is incorrect, rock solid yes, best midfielder no.

It still makes me warm and fuzzy inside that we ended both Geelong and Collingwoods finals hopes in one year

"When's Christmas?" ?

I think it's just nice that we schedule a break in the middle for cuddle time. Must get lonely out there, running and kicking all the time....

Stars aligned dream run: top 4

I think 7-10 is quite realistic however

All the club has said about Goodwin's appointment is that references were done and he was checked out with authorities. I assume this meant the AFL - hardly an authoritative source if I can put it that way. The last thing they will say is that "don't recruit him in case of a CAS trial" especially when they later said they were blindsided by WADA's appeal to CAS. For them to flag anything but business as usual to other clubs about Essendon, potentially puts all of their scheduling, trading fixturing and media right in jeopardy - it ain't going to happen. 

What I will say though is where were the legal hard heads who were supposed to be looking after the MFC's interests. AWOL I would suggest, or simply incompetent!

 

 

It's these kind of sweeping statements that do my head in though. The MFCs interests haven't been affected except in the imaginations of those who believe the future will go south. So I don't see the need for flinging mud at the board or our 'legal hard heads' or anyone else for that matter when nothing has happened yet!

The crux of the argument seems to be whether or not we as supporters would worry whether 2 individuals involved in the club at the time are now with us or not. If found guilty of any wrong doing any Melbourne player or staff need to be held accountable. It would be the same if they were found drunk behind the wheel or shallow graves were found in their backyard. Do the crime, do the time. But if the absolute worst happens and both jake and simon are banned for 2 years, I'm not going to be angry at the club! That's life, situations change and not hiring/recruiting who they believe to be the right person purely because speculation says there might be an issue further down the track would leave me far more disillusioned. How many on here bemoaned us missing out on Jack Darling? He was involved in a nightclub fight just before the draft. What if the next year he got into another fight and seriously hurt  someone and ended up in jail? Would we all say WC were crazy to take him given his history and the apparent risk? 

In other words right or wrong, guilty or innocent, banned or cleared I think the Mfc Footy department are smart enough to carry on just fine.

Let's just make sure he gets through WADA and CAS court hearings first shall we.....

Gees let's give that a rest can we? It's negativity for negativities sake. Great to hear such positive opinions of his coaching ability

You have rocks in your head.

A sterling rebuttal. For what it's worth I agree, Jack creates play in a way that neither of the other two are even capable of

Can any of the hystericals out there explain to me why the Mfcs reputation will be tarnished in any way if Jake or Simon end up facing repercussions?

You named your child Useless fact #443? That's going to be some painful school years...

Why would he come back here after all the crap he gets for his training reports

Maybe he is like Bill?

My point is that it was only two years ago a three time premiership player was being paid roughly the same amount as we are now offering an NQR from Essendon.

I'm just disagreeing with your assertion that he will be depth at best, but rather a list clogger that will add no value to the club, and an expensive one at that (if the reports are accurate that we are indeed offering him 1.6 million over 4 years).

I said depth at worst (a very different thing) and until I see an actual offer i'm not necessarily believing the 400 pricetag. It could be front loaded, the truth is often in the detail

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/giant-imbalance-in-players-wages/story-e6frf9jf-1226655094178

? I'm confused. How does an article from 2013 relate here? Who has said Melksham will earn 400k? Even if that is correct, Enright whilst being a champion is nearly 70 and wanting to repay his club. Not exactly the same situation

Perhaps, but at $400,000 a year?

Corey Enright was on this kind of coin after his 3rd flag...

I haven't read an article showing his salary. Can you post the link?

I'm pretty happy with this. Can't stand the bloke but that should never be a reason not to recruit him. He can seriously play, all Essendon players are well down on their best for the obvious reasons. Hell even Zaharakis has looked extremely ordinary the last 2 years but I still rate the guy. At worst will add solid depth

Any DemonLanders from Sydney are more than welcome out at my Pub, the Bald Faced Stag in Leichhardt to watch it on the big screen with volume. Let me know your a poster and I might even shout ya a beer

Honestly, I'm just to lazy to log in as I use multiple devices to read Dland, so many posts I would have made just go begging

I really don't understand where all this talk of Jetta being slow comes from. Granted, he is not as quick as his cousin but one look at his work on Dahlhaus last year should show he is not slow

Will be even betterer when we win some bloody games.

I know it is a disgrace we haven't won one yet in 2014....

Yep, name says it all. Thanks for contributing big boy.

Haven't heard Ms Jaded called 'Big Boy' in a long time!
