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.

I have no complaints with either, both systems work. As for your two keepers my money is both will miss enormous amounts of games, Definately just leave them to go back into the draft pool ;)

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

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.

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

So the site is now allowing me to enter everyone's keepers, but every new person who logs in will reset all my entries.

So the sooner everyone logs in the sooner we'll be able to see who is available to draft from the players tab.

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?

Rookie Keepers:

Harley Bennell (sorry HT - you miss him for another year :))

Allen Christensen

Senior Keepers

Jarryd Roughhead

Bryce Gibbs

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...

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
