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)?

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
