It would be great if HotGod and Jack have their analysis somewhere and can re-post them.

Thanks again to all the judges for their great efforts.

I'll run it again next off-season with 18 teams.

Sorry, didn't keep it but Andy might have it on one of his backups if that didn't go by the wayside when he tried to delete the spammers that arrived during the process of migrating the old server.

I've been given an extension on my BAS return, hence the procrastination.

Is someone (with a computer clue) in a position to set up a super coach/dream team?

It would be great to see how this pans out.

Cheers

Like a full on league, with finals and stuff?

If so, yeah, if not...yeah.

Too difficult to set up a dream team due to the limitations of salary cap, player positions etc.

If those who were involved wanted to keep tabs on how each team would score each week maybe individually those who want to can just quickly add up their score and post it in. Wouldnt take too long using fanfooty as your resource for scores.

Then maybe at end of each round we have one post to summarise the total scores to date for each team and continue this over the whole season to get a final winner come the end of the season.

I think Supercoach is better for scoring, TBH. At the end of every round I can do a points update, or I can do an actual league.

What do you reckon's better?

Ox,

If you want to plough back through a few pages, there was a bit of interest. i assumed purely on a points per week basis - added up over the season. The critical factor would be injuries, as there's no opportunity to substitute - but that's OK - luck of the draft.

Might be worth seeing what turns up. There may or may not be an easy way to set this up - hence the call to the computer savvy.

Easy on Excel. If Ox doesn't mind, I'll keep track over the season.

Probably whatever's easiest - the League would work everything out for you but probably wouldn't accept teams with only 18 players? Is that right?

You're right, but what I'm talking about isn't an actual league on the Supercoach site - just a private league of sorts which only has 18 players and 10 teams.

And as I mentioned the positional/salary cap issues.

Eth, all yours. I wouldn't have time to do it anyway for everybody - your call if you want to do that. Agreed that supercoach is a better scoring system. I recommend fanfooty like I mentioned earlier, would be the best and easiest way to grab all the scores in my opinion.

If you are thinking of creating like a fixture over the season I dont think there is a need. I just think a total score basis over the whole season would be best - as it would in a way even out for injuries etc over the course of the year. Unlucky if you get some LTI but thats luck of the draw. Would be interesting to see how teams go.

Thanks Ox. I was already going to use Fanfooty, best scores database on the net, IMO.

I'll consider a fixture though. Will see if I can work it out.

I cant see anything working other than a points per player per week (whether it be S-Coach, Dream Team or Fan Footy). Positional stuff and salary cap wasn't part of the draft so shouldn't enter into considerations (IMO - but always happy to penalise the likes of Riewoldt, Swan and anyone else not on my team). The big thing will be injuries which should be fine (for some). Anyway,with luck there's going to be more input so a decent system will evolve if there's interest

Yeah we have a little while to get a good system up and running and agreed upon. It should be kept very simple like you have suggested Roger. No need to complicate it.

Hopefully we get some input from those involved in the coming weeks.

I reckon it'd be more fun playing each other with a ladder and finals etc...

I posted a way we could play each other twice and finish with a final 6 a few pages back but I'm on iPhone and cbf searching for it now.

It'd just be on here, score vs score win / loss and percentage. It'd be easy enough.

I've already got that in. And I'm using your final 6 method.

Thing is, should we do 18 rounds (2 games against each team) or 21 (same as 18 with three extra random games)?

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
