The Backyard Charizard

My bad... Below are the current settings from what I can tell (newbie) Scoring Settings Stat Description Value SCOR Scoreboard Impact 5 KI Kicks 4 HB Handballs 4 MA Marks 3 HO Hitouts 3 TA Tackles 3 FD Free Kick Differential 1

As we are just over a week away from draft night, can anyone confirm if the below is the final scoring settings?

Looking forward to draft night. It will be interesting to see how quickly a ruck is selected, which will then no doubt open the flood gates for a few more rucks to go in the first round. Only having the ONE ruck in the team makes it quite interesting when it comes to draft strategy. I think on the form I have seen so far, and pre-season reports, Nathan Vardy should be the first ruck to be selected... followed closely by Jarrod Witts Anyone who has early draft picks and doesn't attempt to pick one of these two up is crazy and destined for failure Everyone bangs on about Gawn, Grundy and Goldy but honestly they will be over shadowed by the emergence of the aforementioned guys! Happy drafting people... and remember.... You only get one shot at Rupert Wills - My suggestion is early in the 1st round as you don't want him to be snaffled by someone else and leave you crying into your weetbix after every match

I am actually pretty excited about this as I've never tried UF but have heard great things... I am just going to "wing it" and see how it goes but looking forward to the challenge! It looks a lot better than the normal SC or DT that most people start every season heavily invested in before losing interest half way through the year... I have set my pre-draft rankings in case of the "all too common" SA Power Network issues over in Radelaide, but have every intention of competing like a beast for the premiership. Look out folks... There is a new player in town!

Finally someone who views this for what it is... Refreshing!

I'm in if you need more numbers...

Like the challenge we need leading into the real stuff! If we beat them we are in for one hell of an exciting year... Their forward line looked great and their midfield will be a huge test... If we put a strong side on the park that resembles something like our best 22 then we will have a much better idea of where we sit...

I honestly believe that he knows how to get the best out of Jack and he thinks when he does that we take the next step in our evolution towards contenders. This could be a massive turning point in our club.... but, at the end of the day, if Jack doesn't prove himself worthy of being a part of our return to greatness, then Goodwin will at least know he will not achieve it elsewhere either and will put him on the market. I like the new Melbourne!

Round 1 is important - Yes But if we lose at $hitihad to open our season it will mean very little IMHO We have bigger fish to fry and greater grounds to conquer

This has intrigued me purely as I have NFI you are all talking about... I would hate to not ask and then possibly miss out on something great! So.....

Goodwin's presser was very interesting... I honestly believe that he is putting the "ball" fairly and squarely in Jack's court! "You are good enough to be one of the elite players of this competition Jack, but unless you bring your highest level of intensity every time you pull on your boots, I will not sit here and allow you to waste your talent. You have the opportunity to be an integral part of something special here and show everyone that ever doubted you they were wrong but, mark my words young man, if you don't bring 100% every time you pull on an item of red 'n blue clothing, I will have no hesitation in allowing you to watch US do it while you wear different colours. It's in your hands Jack!" We are about to have a real crack at a premiership over the coming years people! If you don't clip your ticket then you miss out! We are Melbourne.... and we are back!

Notable absentees: Sam Petrevski-Seton, Patrick Cripps, Nick Graham, Andrew Phillips, Dennis Armfield Our Notable absentees: Neville Jetta, Jeff Garlett, Dom Tyson, Jack Watts, Jack Trengove

Are we that much better? Or are Carlscum absolutely disgusting???

This season could be quite enjoyable if our midfield stay injury free... I know every club could say the same, but our depth and rotations are looking great...

Contractual agreement... LOL Try being positive occasionally Mr White

Hogan starting in the centre again for the 2nd qtr

I'm calling it now... If we manage to make the 8 this season..... Max Gawn will win the Brownlow!

Jesse with the centre clearance... Has started the game out of the middle and the commentators are that stupid that they think he has started as a "high half forward"

Nice left foot snap from Viney for our 1st goal

Hogan starting in the middle?

FARRRRKKKK! Drain Russell

Conditions looked pretty blustery on TV for the women's match earlier... How stiff is the breeze? Worth a few snags at least?
