Thanks for all your analysis mate.
Is your 5 to 1 in which order? e25 best, or my team best? Need to know for bragging rights, basically. From reading it I would say I got the nod, which surprises a little.
I thought I would give this a crack. Like others have said, its pretty difficult.

That is a perception of Beamer which would have been correct in 2008.
Moloney version 2009-10 really changed his game. Especially in 2010, he dropped his eyes quite often and went for the shorter option, and looking to set up run with handball. Often at times I felt he was too focused on the short option when there were times he could have gone longer.
I reckon the reason he is doing more running is because he needs to get fitter. He still couldn't run out whole games in 2010, hence the spending time on the bench.
I was not long before xmas also mate, and I can say that this is all true.
However - there are reasons. I went in the Friday before the Barassi signing and the launch of the new demons. The place was a mess because it was being rebranded the Demon Shop and stuff was being moved around in preparation for the Barassi signing.
There was no new stock on sale because they had pretty much all been pulled. The jumpers for the reason we all know about and the polo shirts, training singlets etc because the logo was peeling off and inferior.
This had only been noticed that week I think, hence it still being on the website.
I'm happy for anyone who wants to spend the time to go through all the teams to have a say.
It would take up a bit of time, so if you want to go to that effort, go for it I say.
Troy was one of my favourites. He was unassuming and quietly confident. His ability was really starting to shine through.
A tragic story, and a tragic loss for the MFC. We will always remember you Troy.
This year the prize for the premiers was $1 million. Half of this went to the club, half to the players. I would assume only the 22 who played - or in the case of Leon Davis, maybe 23.
So that would make it $22,727 per player if 22.
The runners up shared $500,000, so $250k to club, $250 to players. Making it $11,363 per player.
Well said Nasher - a common sense post.
Im not concerned about GWS anyway, it's Richmond I have heard are the danger.
There is a whole section of the website dedicated to "getting involved", which I take is what you want to do. I'm sure that can give you the stepping stones to what you need. Personally, I would have checked that first off.
Well we end the year on 20,611.
This figure will stay the same till about January 10 when the club reopens you would think.
And rpfc, Demon Shop sales are strong driven by the strong demand for the faulty jumpers.
Thanks for all the input guys, your analysis is really good.
I was disappointed with my final midfield, with 2 picks not falling my way which I had ready to pounce.
Pendlebury is the big one, with E taking him 1 pick before me. And then Scott Thompson with him going 2 picks before mine. If I had those 2 I would have been extremely pleased with the overall balance.
Like E, I mean, e said, it will be interesting to look at this in a years time and see how the season panned out for the 180 players chosen.
