Got up and beat OMR....by a heap...proud of my team...thought we were well and trully gone.

. Well done JCB, I was simply outclassed all over the ground today. You are certainly in a rich vein of form at the minute, and to think Stevie J and Lindsey Thomas still to return. This game is all about depth, your team has plenty. I lose Goodes, Crameri and Harry O and the wheels fall off. I hope I can regroup and scramble into the 8 to earn another crack at your super team . Well played this weekend my friend. Edited by Old Man Rivers

You will...you will be playing off or nearby.

Two major forwards you missed badly...Harry O..always a good solid earner..the positional changes will be a major actor for me this week.If not will be in the hunt for for a defender...Varcoe maybe the go....as well.

Best the luck for finals unless you meet me....Robbo is looming as the dark horse and wants to improve his team further..good luck to him.Robbo has always been amongst the best...still, my aim is to make the top 4 - I have ever missed so far.....that is, every year we have had the Norm Smith league, I have been in the top4, that is my current aim.

If Ican get over Jacko this week, I should achieve it.

Regards

Two rounds to go and trading to cease this Sunday night for trading sees coaches need to cover urgently their keepers for 2014.

They will need to keep 2 senior ( best) players along with (2) rookies born in1992 or later.

I believe this matter is urgent to gain best players for each coach to qualify to play in 2014.

The above are rules implemented by JA last year.

All the best to each coach- not only to gain best team but also for the rest of this season.

Heading to China soon for further treatment therefore may not be able to wish my opponents all the best later in the finals.

But be prepared for me still to be competitive and I can assure you I will give my best

Regards to all

Good luck, jcb.

I am pretty sure that Free Agents can be signed up until the Grand Final so for those teams that have 'player signings' left you can use that on a kid to meet your quota of two young keepers.

There is no need to get that done before the trade deadline.

Is there just the one league available for the Ultimate format through here? I am in a league at the moment but am keen to do another next year. If anyone who isn't in one at the moment is keen let us know and we might be able to sort something out.

Cunnerz09, there is also the Robbie Flower league. Although it seems quite competitive, it has nothing on the prestigious Norm Smith League. Keep an eye out around Jan/Feb when the leagues get sorted for next year, I'm sure people will drop out or a third league will be formed.

Firstly thank you for your kind thoughts, secondly as long as the rookies are picked up by grand final week ..that is ok with me..

All the best for the finals, if you do not meet me

Interesting week coming up - 8th is up for grabs still!

I think Scarlett might have me covered - so I'll be cheering hard for M_M and rpfc this week!!

And well done to 45HG who leads the race for Pick Number 1 in next year's draft by beating the league leader.

I will resurrect the thread I started for the AFL as a whole for this - I really like it.

Does percentage continue to be calculated during finals? I cannot remember if it did last year, however it needs to be kept in consideration so that people don't just disappear in the last 3 weeks

I completely forgot about the consolation finals...

With that in mind I would say no.

It would leave the chance that a strong team that finished 9th could romp in a few wins and sneak a top 3 pick...

It's really meant for the bottom 5 teams to keep playing and trying to win and doing what 45 did on the weekend.

I thought the idea was for the bottom 5 teams to keep playing and trying to win through the consolation finals as well? Otherwise this is pretty pointless - you have gotten 1-2 weeks where the bottom teams try, and another 4 where they won't bother...

The consolation finals is setup for the same reason I set up the % determinator - to try and keep people playing.

Great Grand Final Scarlett! Seriously mate this premiership was decided by 1 straight kick. What a climax to an amazing season in 2013. Very proud to add OMR onto the Norm Smith League honour board after today taking out the 2013 Premiership. This comp has gone from strength to strength in its 3 year history. I can't wait to defend the title in 2014. Well played to all competitors in 2013. PS: I really just wanted to show off the new signature. :-)

Congrats OMR, been an awesome year, up until the bye round after that I couldn't buy a win. Looking forward to 2014

However just a word of caution - if you're going to brag at least get the spelling right!

[League not leauge] :-P

Yes, well done to scarlett and to all.

I probably should have won the LAST 8 games of the season rather than the FIRST, but you live - you learn.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
