Ultimate Footy - Norm Smith League

Oh woooow... Everyone click the "matchup" button... Looks like the site manager took JA's advice (I think) and has put up the "projected" stats for the week based on averages. How good is that?!!!

And an odds column!!! HA! This is WICKED!!!

Question though JA...

I must have missed a category scoring post here... It says on projected stats that SnomeD's and my game will be a 7-7 draw. How is that possible? Is score AND score percentage only 1 point each? I thought it was ONLY accuracy.

Maybe you drew scoring %?

Odd one.

I need to be distracted right now...

(I felt I needed to explain why I am posting on UF at this time)

No explanation needed rp. Same.

[Sideshow Bob 2,410]

Can't work out how it has projected a win for me against Hotgod, yet it has Hotgod at shorter odds.....

Plan on sending 100 trade offers today to keep minds of it. Finally got a day off work and I'm going to sit at home watching the worst day of news ever.

Might be time to buy a few movies

Awwww.... Wanna hug?

But seriously folks... It wasn't score percentage... JA has a bad habit of not returning even his brothers messages, so I'm going to assume score and score percentage are both worth one point each... effectively making score +score percanetage worth the same as any other one category.

Not sure I like it as it doesn't solve the "drawing" problem... but it might work out well in the end, as score and score percentage don't often go hand in hand. And if they do, it's because Buddy kicked 8-1 or something.... in which case... you DESERVE 2 points.

Still waiting for my explanation HT

[JACKATTACK 17]

I can't work it out myself.

But if you look at the settings it looks like this:

Score: 2

%: 1

Kicks:2

Handballs:2

Marks:2

Hitouts:2

Tackles:2

Frees differential: 2

The projected calculation seems to ignore % altogether, it only ever calculates it up to 14 , maybe deliberately?

The odds can be a bit different from the projected score, it seems to include a bit more intelligence in it.

Also I saws note there that these features are free until round 3, then there is a 'premium coach' upgrade which will allow these features to continue. A cash grab I guess.

[Old Man Rivers 326]

Well given there is No trading Block this season just thought I would put a couple of players out there.

OMR's Pre-Season Sale V1

* The Master (Matty Bate)

* Jason Winderlich

* Phil (The Skipper) Davis

Some high quality Depth among these lads - Any Interest?

[rpfc 28,777]

If someone has a back they think would tempt me then we can talk but other than that...

[45HG 1,559]

Tapscott...

How would Grima, Laidler, Tambling or even Laidler suit you?

I don't think that's right...

You have it right, except that score and percentage are 1 each... Going by my calculations of other "matchups"

Sorry, Pauline hanson ? Oh. What was the offer again ? I've forgotten. You've declined it from memory.

Big weekend..

McPhee for Prestia.

[jayceebee31 761]

I just want to say- bring it on..getting sick of hangin around.However, in the meantime can we get this scoring dilemma sorted out.This effects our picking of our team.JA suggest contacting UF admin to find out actual position.

[H_T 3,049]

McPhee for Prestia.

Yep that's it. Pauline Hanson....I thought I would offer McPhee for Prestia in return. I have surplus forwards and thought I might try and balance the ledger. He is in reasonable nick, and I like Prestia for my balance of team.

[robbo24 66]

You've probably all received about 3 trade offers each from me so far. Sorry about that. I just love trading!

On the block for me is most of my midfield (Ablett is a no-no and Montagna would require something special) Rischitelli, McVeigh, Robinson and others are available if the right offer is put forward.

I'm in the market for a defender and a goal kicker. I'd like to field offers for these however offering me a defender for a forward, or a forward for a defender isn't going to work out.

Surplus forwards? I have sent you an offer

[H_T 3,049]

Surplus forwards? I have sent you an offer

Sorry I will have a look. I've missed a couple of days.

[Arrow 1,257]

Surplus forwards? I have sent you an offer

Floated you an offer Robbo have a look!

Been impressed with you getting on the trade early gets everyone excited for the season!

[45HG 1,559]

But...but...Mcphee.

[H_T 3,049]

But...but...Mcphee.

You wanted the Pauline Hanson !

First it's Chris Mayne, now McPhee, maybe if you list your most hated footballers before we start we can avoid the tip toeing on broken egg shells trading with you

Better still, give a list of players you like, and we will work from there.

[H_T 3,049]

Cue: Kreuzer, Waters, Mundy, Riewoldt and Pavlich......

Yeah McPhee is like the last chicken sandwich on the platter, isn't he ?

Offers anyone ?

[45HG 1,559]

You have a go at me for rejecting Mcphee then come out with your who's who of football list...come on!

It was Priddis anyway wasn't it?

And, in fairness (my favourite line lately), I did mull over the Priddis one for a while.

I only like Melbourne players, Chris Knights, Kieren Jack, Luke Hodge and Nat Fyfe. But I'll trade for anyone better/diff position to Tapscott - someone who thinks he'll improve.

[H_T 3,049]

For the record, I haven't had a go at you on rejection for McPhee, I can actually understand your non interest. You simply asked for an explanation and I wondered if there was any interest ? That's all. No skin of my nose for proposing it. The rest is tongue in cheek.

There's nothing wrong with putting feelers out in the Norm Smith League market place....helps you get a gauge.

Tom McDonald .... Maybe ... ?
