Ultimate Footy 2013 - Norm Smith League

Featured Replies

Backs: Adcock Heppell Dunn (B/F) McGrath (B/F) Tapscott

Mids: Rockliff (C/F) N.Jones S.Black Cooney (C/F) Cunnington O'Meara Moloney D.Jackson

Rucks: Jolly Hudson Hille (R/F)

Forwards: J.Riewoldt Rioli A.Goodes Gunston

Pretty happy with the make-up of my squad. No out and out gun midfielder in the swan/ablett mould however if Rockliff, jones step up, Beamer makes good in Brissy, and Cooney is over his knee and is flying like the reports say I might be ok. Happy +++ with my forward line( and dual possy forwards for cover), could do with another solid defender for the inevitable injury to Adcock (but maybe captaincy will suit and he'll stay healthy!). Overall content with draft night

 

I'd rather not post my team - I won't use the "R" word, but...

And more importantly ... how is your health JCB?

I appreciate your inquiry re my health.

I have a Pep Scan next Wednesday and see my specialist next Thursday to find out my current status.

Starting to eat now, which is a relief.

Went from 88 kls to 62.5 kls whilst having treatment for cancer in several spots..Unfortunately had a relapse at the start of the year which sent me flying.

However, like always will bounce back and give all you coaches a real run for your money..or in this case a run for the game.

Take care and sorry that you got suspended earlier on...usually that happens to me...quite often.

All the best to all coaches and watch out I will be there at year end.

Good to hear you're getting your appetite back. That's a good sign!

If you approach UF with a fraction of the fight you've shown in your personal health battle, you'll make the eight in a canter.

Have you guys seen JackAttacks team? Wow! If he is not $1.01 favourite I'll eat my hat

Yeah, looks pretty good. Let's see how they play as a team. $1.01 is too short, so try eating that hat. Play him in Round 9. He snapped up Beau Waters who I had my eye on in the draft. Had him last year. May kick myself for not having him as a keeper for a back from last year. Elected to go with Bartel (C/F) and Dal Santo ©. Need Frawley to step up this year I feel.

Bartel is getting a good wrap around the place. Probably would have been drafted earlier than Waters so you've done the right thing

So, does anyone want a defender or 2? All are avaiable (Grimes a little higher price than others)

The projected totals have me beating him this week...

Does our season start this week, I forget how it works...

Forward/Rucks or a good upgrade on a midfielder.

Hollywood?

Altered trade went back to you: Hartlett and Smith for Mumford and Murdoch.

At $4.55 I'll put that bet on for sure.

The Jackattacks are a changed team this year; fitter, stronger and with a game plan.

Going to be a vert tight year- all the best to all.

I'm in an ultimate league with some mates this is my team let me know what you think:

Backs: D. Stanley, B. Houli, S. Dempster, J. Brennan, L. Russell. Emg: L. Dunn

Ruck: S. Mumford Emg: T. West

Fwds: M. Robinson, C. Sylvia, J. Riewoldt, D. Petrie, J. Schulz. Emg: J. Garlett.

Won it last year hoping to go back to back!

Without knowing your score breakdown I can't say much except for the fact that you have a very potent forward line...

Drop Sylvia for Garlett though.

Agree with RPFC's comments. Forward line strong.

Generally speaking an exceptionally strong team compared to ours, you have either draft exceptionally well, or there are not as many teams in your league.

  On 22/03/2013 at 00:26, cunnerz09 said:

We have 12 teams in our league how about you guys?

Sixteen.

Ahhh k so two more. Probably makes quite a big difference in those leagues. We found that having too many makes it really difficult. Ours is a keeper league starting from now though so we've got squads of 30 with 18 on your field and 4 emergencies. At the end of the season you have to turn over a minimum of 7 players.

Interesting. Makes the draft a bit dull but I would like to have a go at that kind of league. Would be more akin to managing a team.

IMPORTANT

You must set your team before the first game of each round. Previously it may have been possible to wait until Saturday morning, this is not the case anymore.

So we have to select our players who play next week tonigh?

Lineup lockout deadline

In the leadup to each AFL round you can move players around your lineup as much as you like. Once the AFL round commences however players will become locked into position, the timing of which depends on your leagues Lineup Lockout setting. To allow you to choose your preferred rules Ultimate Footy provides the following lineup changes lockout options:

First Saturday Game Of The Round (default): No changes can be made after the first Saturday game of the round has commenced. Players who play prior to the first Saturday game are locked once their game commences.

This setting is used by all public leagues. Note that in Round 1 where AFL games are played over two weeks, lockout will actually take place on the second Saturday of the round (1:40pm Saturday March 30th).

First Game Of The Round: No lineup changes can be made after the first AFL game of the round has commenced.

Individual Game Time (a.k.a Rolling Lockout): Coaches can move players between bench and starting positions as long as both players being moved are yet to have their team play.

Is there a chance to change it?

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
