I've started it. There really isn't much to do after the draft, so I guess I can continue on. But I, like others, can't guarantee I'll be around much this year, I will still play the game, but after the draft I probably won't spend much time dealing with the questions and arguments so much.

Excellent! I think we handle a bit more self-regulation this year.

The system simply allows you to nominate keepers from last year, in reality I still have to set your lineups pre-draft. So I don't want them in too late. Give me a week before the draft for me to sort it out. Also I suggest you nominate your keepers now anyway so that in case you miss the cut-off you will at least have players you picked. Also this allows me to set an indicative lineup so that we can start to see what the draft will look like. (I think this will work,but the options to set your keepers opens on the 7th Feb so i'm not 100% on it just yet.

If someone forgets to nominate they will be autopick keepers, the highest ranked players from your team. (same with rookies).

Summary: Set your keepers now, but you can change them up until the week before the draft.

Okay great. I've got J. Selwood, R.Griffen, D.Swallow and A.Gaff. Midfield set!

The draft should be interesting if a couple of coach's don't renew. Means there'll be some A-list talent added to the draft pool.

I have fixed this for you now 45.

Thanks mate!

I think to be fair to be fair to any new teams they should take over an old list, so I will randomly assign them a team once we confirm the ins/outs, and they can pick from that team. It's still true that there will be some ripping players available because we're going from 18-16 teams.

I'll see how it washes out when we settle the teams.


JA I have the same error message as '45.

Error#511

fixed for you and DL7..

8 signed up

Ok, this is embarrassing but I am struggling to remember...

Danger mouse is an 'older' keeper for sure and one of Goddard or Grimes can be the other I guess...

Ziebell can be one 1991 but if I had all of them in front of me I would be able to do this...

I think I had Brandon Ellis, Harwood, and ??

Oh, and Byrnes has a higher rating than HWFUA so that is pretty special.

Point Scoring

While we're in pre-season discussion mode, this is a subject I brought up last season in this post ...

... "On that subject (points scoring), I'm not convinced that we've got it right this season. My feeling is total points scored should be set at 4 points and free kick differential at 1. Players from all over the field contribute to the score and it seems to me victory on the scoreboard should receive much greater recognition than the free-kick count (who cares really) and perhaps even another level of recognition above the standard stats. Also not sure at all about hit-outs. Should a couple of ruckmen really carry that much influence on the outcome? Seems grossly disproportionate to their input for mine. Hitouts should be a rung lower than kicks/handballs/marks etc (which every player contributes to).

I'd go for ...

Kicks - 3
Handballs - 3
Marks - 3
Hit-outs - 2
Tackles - 3
Free Differential - 1
Points Scored - 4
Kicking accuracy - 1

Total - 20 points



So ... what do others think of that proposal?

Edited by Range Rover

 

I like it, even though it hurst me given my keepers.

... of course as the administrator you would have control over this sort of thing.

One other thing is that in this setup it would be possible to win with 3 categories, and it wouldn't even have to include score. 9 points gets a win, and you could win it with kicks, marks, tackles.

Edited by JACKATTACK


Keepers for me are set

Sandi

Cyril

Dyson Heppell

Dylan Shiel

Dropping the hit out value, obviously hurts a little with Sandi, however I do agree and think the basic values that RR suggests are on the money

*edited

I really think this points system is a winner.

Make it an odd number.

Ok, I am thinking Dangerfield & Goddard with Ziebell and Harwood as the kids.

Make it an odd number.

I would make hitouts worth 3, thereby making it 21.

...or handballs 2, making it 19.

If we boost goalkicking accuracy up to two points we get the magical 21 number.

Losts of permutations and routes to victory.

Yeah I would either go the handballs 2 idea or my suggestion of increasing scoring accuracy to 2.

I think the latter is better as it adds a real wildcard to the game.

I could see frees differential being worth 2 ahead of score %.....

anyway, i'd be interested to hear from others.

Fwiw I have a similar error message when loading the team. Although I tried it a week ago and got it up. I have a fair idea on my keepers anyway.

I'm just interested to hear on Clark's progress. I'll hopefully get better confirmation of his injury on Monday.

Happy to go with whatever the general consensus is on points system.

I don't see you in our league on the site.

There are 8 teams currently signed into the league page.

I like the look of this scoring set up.

I alway's felt Hit Outs had too big a influence on the outcome of these game's.

Keeper's almost set

1. Dane Swan

2. Kieran Jack

3. Jack Darling

4. Josh Caddy or Jonothon Patten ( NAB cup form to seperate these two)

Your team from last season could not be found. Please contact your league manager and have them assign you a team from last season. (Error #511)

Ok it's done. I'm in.

My rookie keepers - Greene, Sidebottom

Senior keepers - Dal Santo, *Clark

* could change closer to draft.

 

Scarlett and HT now linked to their previous years.

Outstanding rookie keepers puts HT right up there for this year's flag.

Beams, Shuey, Trengove and Prestia* looking like my keepers.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
