ok. do we have a gentlemens agreement that we dont do this or change final teams to friday night. Or is it just not bigger deal if everyone knows they can do this and as lance armstrong once implied, its fair because everyone's doing it. Some people may find it tough to get there line ups finalized by friday night.

if you run a vpn or geo blocker, you can sign up for the overseas pass and watch it on your pc, and if you have a chromecast you can mirror it to your tv. but you do need to re setup your chromecast sometimes when using a vpn, it loses the connection with your pc because its changing your ip address. the other option would be run the vpn from the modem so then everything is on the same wifi codes and that.

So far Gary(OMR) is the only one to suggest a scoring option I'll post his up and another one and we'll go with majority again, or if you have a better idea throw it up. would love to get this set asap so we can choose our draft order to suit the scoring. here's what it was automatically set at, i just changed Hit Outs to 3 so it gives an uneven total of 25.

Oh yeah this year, if you leave a spot blank when setting up your weekly line up, your emergency will not cover the empty space, which a few coaches took advantage of last year.

ok everyone this is the team line up at the moment, it was what he had last year and worked well. As I stated earlier, with less teams (from 16 or 18 teams last year?) and dropping again from 14 to 12 there are going to be a lot more players available. this has advantages to cover injuries and poor form also bye weeks. but it has disadvantages because its easier to cover injuries poor form and bye weeks. so my question is do we want to make the team line ups bigger? Position Players eligible for this position No. of Slots No. of Emg. Back (B) B 3 1 Centre (C) C 4 1 Ruck (R) R 1 1 Forward (F) F 3 1 Utility (UTL) All 1 1 Back/Forward (B/F) B,F 0 0 Back/Ruck (B/R) B,R 0 0 Back/Centre (B/C) B,C 0 0 Centre/Ruck (C/R) C,R 0 0 Centre/Forward (C/F) C,F 0 0 Ruck/Forward (R/F) R,F 0 0 Bench (BN) All 5 Emergency System Emergencies Cover Matching Positon Emergencies Cover Any Position No Emergencies Emergency Settings Time On Ground Threshold 0% (Players are never replaced)5%10%15%20%25%30%35%40%45%50% Emergency Coverage Also emergencies only cover that position, forwards cover forwards centres cover centres. There is an option for an emergency player to come in if someone is injured if they spend 5% or 10% and so on time on ground, I think we will go with players aren't replaced if the game has already started. if you cop and injury at the start of a game then thats football. But I'm open if the majority want it the other way.

OK everyone draft order is set, I entered all our team names into a Draft Order Generator and went with what came up. Heres a link to the page I used if anyone is interested http://www.draftordergenerator.com/draft-order-results.php Demonland Norm Smith League Draft Order Results Pick # Team Name 1 PC Demons 2 Scarlett 3 Turducken Slammers 4 Jehads Team 5 Shake n Bake 6 OMR 7 The Goodvibes 8 JCB's Blasters 9 Brad's Team 10 Gallahs 11 7 Up 12 Mad_Melbourne

thanks Gary I just re sent the link for John as well. I'm home now from work so will be able to be a lot more active leading up to the draft. I'm quite happy to run with the 12 teams, with the extra players available, perhaps an extended squad. Can't have to many good players sitting in the waiver list!

ok so does anyone want to fill in the final 4 spots?

ball movement is going to be a lot better this year, you can tell they attack with handball out of congestion, just a bit rusty and missing the final target a couple of times.

on the ultimate footy page it only has 9 people listed so far, if you go to join a league you can find last years league but i am unable to click through to the link to get the names of everyone from last year so we can message them, or perhaps we can start a thread on the main board to alert them to this one

Gary I added you as a league manager just to help out in case someone tries to join while I'm away during the week. if anyone wants to join from last year, just send them the link that you all received to join.

sorry i've been living away with work, so far 9 teams. good idea with the names, until we have a full team. I'm about to upgrade the comp so we can have all the extra options, also has an option for extra managers, I'd be interested in giving someone else access while I'm doing living away work, will be away for another 2 weeks.

as i suggested earlier i really like the spoils, gives the backmen something more rather then just going outside running defenders. i wont add anything until we get a general consensus from everyone involved. i sent a message out to everyone involved with an invite (I think, if you didnt get one just send me a message and i'll send it).

these are the other categories D Disposals Available via Stats PLUS ED Effective Disposals Available via Stats PLUS IED Ineffective Disposals Available via Stats PLUS CP Contested Possessions Available via Stats PLUS R50 Rebound 50s Available via Stats PLUS CL Clearances Available via Stats PLUS SP Spoils

im happy with that but i've always hated scoring accuracy and putting it to 2 points i think might be a bit heavy on the scoring. I'd be interested in putting it to 1 and also adding another category. I'll make the league now and then we can discuss it before the draft.

we can make the league now, what does everyone think about a sunday march 20 draft?

i would have liked that game against west coast i think it was 97 or 98 when we were injury depleted with no chance and an unknown robbo came out and kicked 4 i think it was.

I hope its heard in english, other wise most of us will need translators.

essondon should only get top ups for any player that is still under the same contract from 2012, if essendon renewed contracts after the investigation, then that was there decision knowing that said player could be banned. same as trading

yep hit outs should never have been put down to one, it worked out better to play a second ruck who might snag a goal or get a few more kicks than to win the hitouts. made drafting goldie and that early a bad choice. i think there are other scoring categories that you can put in as well like spoils and that.

i think if we drop to 12 teams there will still be quite a bit of talent not signed, where as if we go 14, 2 less then last year i think it will be a bit more difficult but the better coaches will show with there picks and signings. Once we get a few more numbers up over the next two weeks, I think we should discuss it more seriously then.

with wiseblood are we filling up with members from last year first or who ever puts there name up, with 2 or 3 already dropping out i'd imagine we would be able to squeeze him in.
