Cheers, heard a bit of mail that Clark may take a while until he is 100%. Same for Trengove.

Some big calls having to be made re keepers. I've had to throw Leuenberger, Hurley and a couple of others guns back into the draft pool. There'll be something for everyone in the first few rounds of the draft at least.

Agree on the big Keeper calls

I am throwing back : Nick Riewaldt, Heath Shaw, Shane Mumford, Travis Boak, Dayne Zorko, James Kelly & David Mundy.

How the hell didn't I win the flag with that line up?

Tbh I thought you should've won OMR. I don't think the points system we had in place reflected the true strength of sides.

Did we decide which points system we were going with?

I'm happy with whatever.

Does anyone have any objection to ...

Kicks - 3

Handballs - 3

Marks - 3

Hit-outs - 2

Tackles - 3

Free Differential - 1

Points Scored - 4

Kicking accuracy - 2

Total - 21 points

I really think this model will work well. It rewards both attacking and defensive set ups (even more so well balanced line-ups) and with the odd number we're guaranteed a winner in each game.

If no-one objects I think we should lock it in place.

What about goals, RR? Or is points scored a total of 4?

This isn't supercoach so I'm not a fan of kick accuracy. Maybe weigh goals at 3 and goal accuracy at 3?

Points scored is 4 Robbo (not just goals) ... so you get a decent return for your forward line's efforts on the day.

Kick accuracy I think is worth two points because you could say it rewards both straight kicking forwards and also quality backlines who force forwards wide to kick from harder angles.

Yeah I don't like score% much.

I'd have it at 1 and free differential at 2.

I don't like free differential at all.

How about the handballs compromise, reducing that stat to 2? That accurately reflects real game stats anyway.

That would mean a set up like this ...

Kicks - 3

Handballs - 2

Marks - 3

Hit-outs - 2

Tackles - 3

Free Differential - 1

Points Scored - 4

Kicking accuracy - 1

Total Points: 19

What do you think? Still get a result with the odd number.

I don't mind that.

Is Trengove cooked, HT?

I've heard that we will keep hearing from the club that JT (and MC) will be returning early season, but don't expect to see JT until after ~ round 8, 45. Will need more time.

Mitch will do everything possible to return and aim for round one, at this stage it appears unlikely. They will want him @100% first. Which kind of goes without saying in the world of AFL. But they will be extra cautious.

Who are your likely keepers DL7? Need to add to opening post.

Apologies RR, Trent Cotchin and Matthew Priddis are my keepers and Jack Watts is my underage. Ill also have Tom Scully as my other but at the moment it's with a star because I want to see how his NAB Cup goes. Is That okay or do I need to lock in now for good?

I like it, it doesn't guarantee a winner each game, but I do like it!

It changes the way people will draft also

Thanks HT and all. Might wait and see a bit how he's going.

After the trip and starting teaching prep, I haven't had time to follow footy/best XI :o

Well fwiw you're doing a sterling job on Best XI considering your busy schedule. Where was the trip?

Ok, call me a nervous loser but I have decided to go for Grimes over Goddard...

Just in case, er, the worst happens...

And I got rid of Harwood so Thomas Lynch is my last one:

Grimes

Dangerfield

Ziebell

Lynch

I put them into UF just then.

Goddard could be the only clean player there.. He'd be playing all possies by himself racking up touches, hit outs, tackles etc although think he'll struggle to hit a target...

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
