If you need another player, I'm happy to join (team was dark days last season)

I've changed my mind about Bugg and would like to add him as one of my keepers if its not too late. So Ablett, Kennedy, Treloar and Bugg

Nominated Ablett, Kennedy, and rookie Treloar as my keepers.

I take number 1

Dark Days have signed in

Hi guys, I was in the Robbie Flower league (like GM11) last two years, would love to play as well. I'm pretty good though, just warning you!!

Is Ling too much of a nice guy to be a head coach? Prefer him to be the 2nd or 3rd assistant myself.

Wines v Toumpas or Wines v Hogan? Hogan certainly looks the goods but with Clark/Dawes up forward I'm not sure drafting another key forward was smart given our glaring weakness in the midfield.

Happy enough with my team. Forwards a little weak but my back's and mids look strong. Bellchambers/Hale combination should win me the hitout category most weeks.

Draft starting in 20 minutes where is everyone?

No probs man, probably for the better. I think 14 teams is enough so i've closed the league. Final draft order is... 1. Dyl's Pickles 2. The reigning champ 3. Billy Bass 4. MaxTwenty 5. Saigon Saints 6. Galahs 7. Dark Days 8. Macca muts 9. Gibba's best 10. Sporting GHRP 11. flying eyeballs 12. Ess Flynno 13. 7up 14. Archer of Loafcrosse

Think i might change the draft date to Monday 18th at 8pm. I have another draft on Sunday starting at 9pm so it would certainly make it easier for me. Anyone have a problem with this? I will make the league public either tomorrow or Sunday. Think we need at least 14 teams otherwise rookies become a bit redundant which would be a shame.

Was fairly pleased with how we played. My run down on each player: M.Jones - Played the whole game in the middle and thought he was very good. Excellent hands in close, nice pace and spreads well from the contest. Magner - Got plenty of first possession in the stoppages but let himself down with poor disposal by hand and foot. Gillies - Seemed to be a bit of a general down back, used the ball well under pressure. Taggert - Very good first quarter. A couple of nicely weighted kicks to advantage and just looked comfortable out there. Went missing after quarter time though. Tynan - Looked a bit shaky with ball in hand. Had one nice bit of play where he came off a wing at a centre bounce, scooped up the ball, shrugged an oncoming tackle, and delivered a pin point 40 metre pass to a leading forward. Davey - Is a pleasure when he has the ball in his hands, just needs to get more of it. J Macdonald - Virtually turned the ball over every time he got it, will be concerning if he got many games this year. Strauss - One of our best. Not many long raking kicks from him but was good defensively and didn't waste a possession. Looked very self assured. Dunn might be a bit nervous. Sylvia - An ordinary game from Col. Gave away a couple of silly 'over the shoulder' free kicks and just lacked intensity around the contest. Could be a surprise round 1 omission. Sellar - Nice for him to get a bag of 5. Held his marks against some weak opposition, should be in front of Pederson for the Fwd/Ruck position. Couch - Didn't notice him much. Kent - Surprised at how agile he looked out there. Burned his opponent off a few times and delivered some nice passes. With his physique and booming left foot he could be something special. Jetta - BOG. Has flair and toughness. Tapscott - A couple of nice contested marks and some crunching tackles. If he can stay fit he will easily be part of out best 22. Davis - Was just ok, kicking not up to scratch. Terlich - Was very reliable in defence. Uses it well and doesn't shirk a contest. Evans - Just an average game. Ball drop when kicking looks kind of awkward. Nicholson - Played last quarter only. Needs to think more when he has the ball instead of just running around like a headless chook. Barry - Struggled to find the ball and made poor decisions when he got it. Not ready. Hogan - Barely sighted. Spencer - Competed well and gave the midfielders first use with some quality hitouts. Fitzpatrick - Nope. Pedersen - Only remember him falling over in a ruck contest.

6 spots still up for grabs Just to clarify the scoring system for any new players who might be interested in joining. There are 9 categories weighted as follows: Kicks- 2 points Handball- 2 points Marks- 2 points Tackles- 2 points Hitouts- 2 points Goals- 2 points Frees For- 1 points Frees Against- -1 points Scoring Accuracy- 1 points So if your team gets more kicks than your opposition for the round you will score 2 points. If you score 8 points you win the round. Teams consist of 18 players (6 Forwards, 5 Centres, 6 Backs, 1 Ruck) plus a captain.
