Things we need to decide on:

  • Starting teams - discuss
  • Keep the current category based format or move to the traditional AFL Fantasy scoring - Happy with the categories but I'll go with the consensus.
    • If using the current category format are we happy with the current scoring system? (See above) - Wouldn't mind moving a point from Hit Outs to Handballs.
  • Draft date - consensus.
  • Draft order (Draft style - I propose snake) - yes.
  • Confirmation of rules - discuss.
  • Are you happy for me to be the commissioner? - yes.
  • Are you happy to do away with the current keepers and start from scratch? - yes.

Scoring:

Kicks: 3

HB's: 2

Marks: 3

HO's: 2

Tackles: 3

Free kick diff: 1

Score: 4

Goal kick Acc: 1

Total points: 19

  • If using the current category format are we happy with the current scoring system? (See above)

this season ultimate footy has added multiple different categories, one of which is spoils and i think that would be a lovely one to add instead of accuracy.

but other than that i am not really fussed, whatever people decide i am happy with.

  • Starting teams (not sure what you mean)
  • Keep the current category based format or move to the traditional AFL Fantasy scoring
    • If using the current category format are we happy with the current scoring system? (See above) Not fussed - just saw MM's note that there are more categories so will check it out

  • Draft date Not fussed
  • Draft order (Draft style - I propose snake) That's fine
  • Confirmation of rules
  • Are you happy for me to be the commissioner? yes
  • Are you happy to do away with the current keepers and start from scratch? Is this because I finally got Pendles and all the fighting it caused? :) Happy to do away with it if that's the consensus


Something else I'd like to see is being able to choose teams up until the start of the game. With subs being named just before the game and emergencies not named for Sunday games until Saturday I personally think it's a necessity

Awesome work Robbo

I like the category based system, but am happy to revert to points if that's the consensus. Spoils would be a good addition to increase the value of the backline players - obviously am ok with the old Set up after a solid year last year

Giving up Fyfe, Rockliff, Jaeger would be hard to swallow but better than those giving up Ablett. Happyish to start over, draft needs to reverse order each round to even up those who get the pointy end draft picks

Draft night once some exposed form is out between 2nd and 3rd round NAB cup maybe??

  • Author

I've sent out the league code and password to those who have confirmed.

If you're interested please let me know and i'll send you the details.

We can organize a draft time/date soon.

As we have played under certain rules suggest we keep keepers & not to many changes .

As the AFL has gone backwards re many changes- keep it simple is my belief for our beloved Ultimate footy game.

I therefore prefer the way we have been playing.Keepers to be kept etc...

Please note, I don't understand- re Snake format, please explain but willing to go with whatever others want.

Go Robbo & thanks - will try to behave....hope no one upsets me.....but will try to hold off my retaliation.

I have since registered on Ultimate footy and seen date of draft re Wednesday, March 25 @8pm..I totally agree with this dateset.

Don't know what you mean by 'starting teams' but yes to all of those.

I don't care about the keepers there - put me in the 'whatever' crowd. From memory I had Sidebottom, ???, Hogan, and McDonald (NM). Maybe Greene...

And, I have to tell you, I will leave this place with a 'dead in the water' team if the league continues like last year.

Robbo. - strongly suggest you contact Range, Scarlett, HT etc..to see if they want to stay.Also noted Poita posted on Norm Smith League 2014 - offering to join.

Maybe, you could message him accordingly. Please note this post is suggestion only.

Take care

JCB


Hi All. I have received an invite from Robbo (thank you) and have joined the league as PC Demons. If original coaches return I am happy to make way, but I am looking forward to being involved. Obviously as a new coach I would prefer to start with a clean slate, but will happily go along with the majority either way.

I have found that as the commissioner I have the ability to remove participants. I will use this tool if required.

I am sure we'd rather lose the trouble markers instead of those who are just having fun.

If only it were just political incorrectness I am tired of...

Aaahhh....the smell of a new footy season just around the corner. Its great to be back.

Absolutely happy for you to be head honcho Robbo.

Dont care too much about how we score, as everyone has to face the same demons (pardon the pun).

Having keepers was a great concept, but considering the Pendles farce from last season, I am happy to can it altogether.

I'm signed up and ready to go.

Bring on 2015!

OK guys. We have 13 teams registered. We need one more player as we need an even amount of teams to be able to draft.

Here's the current league settings. Any objections?

Max Team Size: 20
Total Starters: 12
Total Emergencies: 5
Number of Bench Spots: 3
Emergency TOG Threshold: 0%

POSITION STARTERS EMERGENCIES

Backs (B) 3 1 emergency

Centres © 4 1 emergency

Rucks ® 1 1 emergency

Forwards (F) 3 1 emergency

Utilities (UTL) 1 1 emergency

Bench (BN) 3

POINTS BREAKDOWN

Scoreboard Impact (SCORE) 4

Goal Kicking Accuracy (%) 1

Kicks (KI) 3 Handballs (HB) 2

Marks (MA) 3 Hitouts (HO) 1

Tackles (TK) 3

Free Kick Differential (FD) 1

There are other categories such as disposal efficiency, spoils, rebounds 50's etc but these (and other features) cost $40. I haven't decided whether I'll pay for this yet.

DRAFT DATE: Currently Wednesday March 25 @8pm (Online, 30 seconds per pick) This gives us maximum time to prepare for the draft and clear your schedule for the night.

DRAFT TYPE: Snake - It works like this:

Player A gets pick 1
Player B gets pick 2

Player C gets pick 3

etc

etc

Player M gets pick 13

Player N gets pick 14

Player N gets pick 15

Player M gets pick 16

etc

etc

Player C gets pick 26

Player B gets pick 27

Player A gets pick 28

Player A gets pick 29

and so forth.

I will use some online software to generate a draft order.

KEEPERS: No Keepers!

TRADE VETOE: If you disagree with a trade, there is an option to 'veto' it in the game. If 1/3 of the league disagree with a trade it will be declined. The other alternative is that I have full control over confirming/denying trades, but I don't want this responsibility.

FIGHTING: This is a game amongst Melbourne supporters you have met on a Melbourne Supporters Forum. We ALL have this in common. We are here for the same reason. To support a football club and enjoy ourselves. Please don't take this too seriously and please don't feel the need to fight with each other. Last year sucked so please, IF YOU FIGHT YOU'RE OUT. Simple

Edited by robbo24

sorry late entrance, was still keen just obviously didnt pay enough attention when entering the league

Looks good to me.


Good Job Robbo - Most looks great

The only 2 minor points I would throw up for debate are :

* 30 seconds in between draft selections is not a long time? Wasn't it 60 seconds the last two drafts?

* 2 points scoring for handballs? This skill should be rewarded equally with kicks & tackles?

We seem to be penalising the ball magnet type of player.........

Neither are big ones, however I think deserve consideration before locking in everything for the 2015 season

  • Author

Good points OMR. I will revert the draft time per pick back to 60 seconds and make the handballs worth 3 points.

I'm happy with all of this. I think the spoils etc would make things interesting as well - would be happy to contribute towards the $40 if enough people want it

 

I believe in the KISS principle as Robbo has suggested.Keep as Robbo outlines .And hope all of you behave like I will.Got the message loud & clear Robbo.Glad the culprits have almost disappeared .

Thank you for setting it up - we will have a great year and I will support you.Thanks for outlining rules upfront.That is "What caused my stink last year " .

No spoils for me - agree re 60 seconds & 3 points for kicks & handballs.

Still I do not understand "Snake " draft system, but will get it - on draft night....Wed, 25th March & 8pm is the right time & date.

Robbo or OMR - when draft order is done, please tell me my pick order...this will help me a lot.

In anticipating your kind help

  • 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.
