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.
 

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.

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.

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

OMR- thanks for feedback & explanation.

Nice work Robbo

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

Seriously where is Range Rover?

Can anyone contact him?

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.

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.

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

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
