Ultimate Footy - Norm Smith League 2015

[45HG 1,559]

Is the total score out of 18? That leaves room for a tie? (Not necessarily a bad thing).

Personally I don't like the playing through byes but that's open to everyone.

We can make five changes per week (30 for the year) which means should should be able to cover our losses during this round. It may involve some further tactics? Just a thought but it would be good to keep the momentum in the season going.

3 pts for HBs. Yeah, whatever. I am ambivalent.

Like the idea of spoils as the best defenders in the game would be relevant in a game they are irrelevant in.

But understand if it is too hard basket stuff.

[rpfc 28,779]

Keep playing over byes. Makes it interesting. Can get you back in the game if you are switched on.

I'll consider forking out the $$ for the premium package. If I do, i'll put down a point for spoils (and maybe disposal efficiency) which could make it more interesting.

These are my thoughts too.

DE% would be good instead of Goal Accuracy or whatever that one is.

[45HG 1,559]

Personally I don't like goal accuracy (gee I'm sounding negative aren't I).

It just seems unnecessary. Would rather 5 for score tbh than 4 and 1 - and I'm rubbish at score!

Yeah, losing by a point when you have kicked 15 goals 10 because someone has 5 goals 2 is a bit silly.

[robbo24 66]

The category i was referring to was disposal efficiency, not goal accuracy.

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.

Good work Robbo

Nice work Robbo

OMR Last pick again for the second season running..................

Seriously where is Range Rover?

Can anyone contact him?

[scarlett 247]

I've been waiting for this thread on the main forum and thought, hmm wonder if its got its own. I'm definitely in. just one question what day and time will team change lockout be. I'm hoping the ultimate footy app will be alot more reliable this year because i missed a lot of weeks last year. Also like the idea of starting fresh with no keepers. Just one thing I'd like to clear up before the season starts, will we be having any keepers for next year.

[scarlett 247]

also i really like the spoils idea and disposal eff. I fear with the scoring system we're canceling out hitouts by only giving it 1 point, it takes away the edge of having a good ruck and ruck forward. but i will be happy to go with the majority on that.

[robbo24 66]

Scarlett - We have 14 players currently. With you it is 15. We need an even number of teams for the draft to go ahead.

To answer your questions:

The trade deadline is Sunday August 9.

There will be NO keepers going forward.

The lockout is the first Saturday game of each round.

Spoils is an added category but required a $40 league payment. I don't think I'm going to pay for this.

Is there a 16th team wanting to join?

While we're on the subject of help.

Can you guys help me out please?

I seem to have misplaced my trophy. I'm sure it was amazing and gigantic and filled with beer but I just can't locate.

Can we confirm that it wasn't given to first, second or third on the ladder from last year before I rolled them consecutively?

Any help would be appreciated.

Love,

Your Leader - wreckers

[Old Man Rivers 326]

Are you in this season Wreckers?
