Feel free to discuss anything to do with English 15's here.
Very nice MTTY, read through it all and looks good :)
I would have to say, we need boards inside Worlds, so Euros, Worlds and English is seperated.
Couple of questions MTTY -
Is there any restriction on the numbers of each position you draft? I know you have to end up with 4 def, 4 mids etc. playing each week, but does your squad have to have a certain amount of each?
Also - what happens with DPP players - can they play in both positions?
Thanks

To answer your questions Spinking:
No there's no limit but be smart about it as injuries make take their toll.
Yes DPP players can play both their available positions.
yeah it pisses me off as well lol
Team... Entered. Bring it.
Hey guys i've exceeded the pm limit for the hour. So could someone do me a favour and direct Colliwobblers to this thread.
@ Tabs - a reply to your pm. since we have such large number of teams i think we will draft until all players are taken. I am open to ideas for other options though.
There's a PM limit per hour?? Never knew.

So how does virtual sports scoring work?

Like cw said, contested ball is where the scoring is. Gary ablett averages 178.
Kick 3 Points
Handball 1 Point
Contested Possession * 4 Points
Uncontested Possession ** 2 Points
Tackle 3 Points
Hitout 1 Point
Clanger *** -5 Points
Goal 6 Points
Behind 1 Point
* A CONTESTED POSSESSION IS ANY POSSESSION WON IN DISPUTE (THIS INCLUDES CONTESTED MARK, HARDBALL-GET, LOOSEBALL-GET, FREE KICK FOR).
** AN UNCONTESTED POSSESSION IS ANY POSSESSION GAINED FROM A TEAM MATE (UNCONTESTED MARK, HANDBALL-RECEIVE).
*** CLANGERS INCLUDE ANY BLATANT UNFORCED ERROR INCLUDING FREE KICK AGAINST, 50M PENALTY
Kinda a cross between DT and SC. Looks the goods to me :)
So, does hawka have assistants??
Was having trouble finding a stadium close enough for the Crosby locals, an hour later of searching came across this website that you just click on a region in England and it comes up with all the stadiums and the capacity of it in that area
If your still looking for one this should help ;)

Yup. SC still average SLIGHTLY higher, but it could be done with a handicap....
Perhaps next year the top 8 teams from each comp can do a Shouldn't add too much work......
The top 8 from the Poms can be decided by MTTY... Worlds/Europe from ladder positions?
8 Teams each, 24 teams overall. Each team plays every other team once (16 rounds, plus the intra-club matches already played by these teams).
Top 8 = Finals
How about at the end of each round the average score is calculated....
The 8 Worlds Team average 150
The 8 Euro Teams average 136
The 8 English Teams average 125
The average of these 3 scores is 137.
So you subtract 13 from every Worlds team, add 1 to every Euro team and add 12 to every English team....
yeah?
Not sure what you just said Os. haha.

::) :P
Nah, that makes it unfair on which-ever system wins...
and whatlez, I never understand any of your posts :)
it would be more work but u could just make it so when playing cross league matches u just get all 3 scores from each system for each player?...
or just the 2 but for a tri-nations series probly fairer to use all 3 no matter who's playing?
You can't cross scoring systems because some players are specialists in one game where they might not be in the other. e.g. using Harry Taylor's DT scores will be unfair if he's in a Worlds side, coz his SC score is alot higher.
well thats why u get both scores so it'd balance out wouldn't it
my idea is..
the top 4 from each league go into pools probly 4 pools of 3 to start (this can be worked out later)
each team only has 7 players in each game
2 DEF
2 MID
2 FWD
1 RUC
no emergencies, each player will get the scores from all 3 scoring systems. I don't see how this could be unfair...?
this's only a ruff idea but it'd be cool if something could be made up.
The idea would be for it to be hard to win and basically a knock out after the first round or so..as long as a League dosn't have a massive advantage it could be fun

How many players do we need to draft in this first draft?
i think we are going everyone. We have the time.

I was hoping for more as it will be a new year (that is if your refering to the limit of 6 i had) IN the euro I think we will have 10 in the offseason
If its possible I thought we could pick 1 team from each league to represent the league, and then to make them all equal, get the scores from all 3 formats and get the average of that.
Since we are drafting every AFL listed player atm, what happens if one of them get's delisted at the end of the season?? As some will, i've looked everywhere and couldn't find anything yet. :)
I think from memory you get additional picks at the end of the National draft so we all end up with the same squad size - Someone else might want to confirm or clarify that...
As I see it from an amendment and been trying to find it we are selecting 39 players in this draft. I believe that if we have a player who is delisted or retired we can select a replacement from the left over players to replace.
yeh it was discussed earlier, i'm pretty sure to what u said spink... but ringo's idea sounds good too..
I might be getting confused with plans for the Asian comp though... So much drafting going on!! :o
I don't know either PB. Hopefully cause I have some picks and they may retire :/
The best soulution is to do what the euro does and have a cap of players. It makes rookie drafts interesting each year as you pick up missed players. Also if you have players retire than you can fill up your list with more national draft picks and rookie picks.
I asked earlier in one of the threads if people were fine with a cap (which i suggested one) but only had limited response. Forgot to post it here, so i'll find it and post here now. :)
Thanks Mtty been trying to find it as well where you had 39 from this draft then 4 and then 3 from memory but have not been able to. Must be in the actual draft pages but 190 pages a bit much to trawl through.
Draft em all!
I'd prefer a cap. Happy to go along with the crowd though...
46 all up
With -
39 drafted in first draft
4 in the National Draft
3 in the Rookie draft
Are others happy with that?
I'll start a poll.
Thanks MTTY. Limits squads to 46.
Just one question do all unselected players become eligible for National Draft as well.

this.
you also have to cap squads surely/ otherwise season after season the lists just grow and grow? makes no sense and does not mirror the AFL teams list rules.
i think as per your other thread MTTY the view there seemed to be that a cap on the squads was best.
i also think that if you draft a player in this draft and they retire you do not get extra picks for it you just top up your list in future drafts.
where in future drafts due to the squad being capped you will have to delist players to add new draftees to your squd, if you have a player retire then that's just one less you need to delist come the next seasons nationel / preseason drafts.
likewise if you have a full squad you are happy with come pre season draft and DO NOT want to delist any of them you can just PASS in the pre season draft as ou don't want to replace any players in your existing "capped squad".
just my 2c
My opinion for what it is worth that if any of our players are delisted we get compensatory picks at the conclusion of all drafts from players remaining after the Rookie/Pre Season Draft.

Id probably agree with this. Maybe additional picks at the end of the pre - season draft to take your squad to the desired numbers
Just a thought - May well have been suggested before so apologies if it has:
We already have the:
World 15s - WXV
Euro 15s - EXV
and will potentially have the:
Asian 15s - AXV (I assume)
Just wondering if having this officially called the English 15s might be confusing - creates a second EXV or maybe EnXV
Would it be better to call it the British 15s, UK 15s, Crown 15s, or something like that?
Not complaining or anything, just a suggestion for clarity...
WXV
EXV
BXV
AWV
Sounds good to me :)
If it's British 15s can we have teams like Glasgow, Edinburgh etc.?
I am from Wales so no problem. Swansea Breakers.

Don't think so, trades haven't been looked at for weeks. :( >:(
he was on a week or two ago picking for BB in AXVs, said he was super busy. Shouldn't be too far away at least the committee should have had time to all vote on the trades by the time MTTY appears :)
still almost 2 months till NAB AFL Draft :)

It's funny.
Maybe PM these guys, I know they were keen for an Asians team.
TOGA and PHASIR
both assistants in Asians and both wanted a senior role. I will PM them, but best if you do also with links to your team and then have them maybe PM MTTY to apply?

I'm too old for that now but my inner young me says " any night is a good night to do that"
Folks I've PMd each coach with the current actions Im taking with the league, and also asking them to confirm they want to remain in the comp. Can everyone do this, or let me know if they didn't receive the PM.
I'm still in. I hope that MTTY is ok, and ok with this though. I understand the logic behind Spinking being appointef, but I abstained from voting as I felt it was not right, as it was MTTy's idea, and it felt a little like a takeover. Just my opinion before anyone questions me. I discussed it with Ringo and he helped me understand the reasoning, but I still felt it not right to vote.
Just one question? How many list changes are we allowed to have, and what are the rules around passing a player on as to whether that counts, and whether a draft pick counts or not? Cheers
Thanks for the honesty with those comments Fletch. I appreciate your position and think many of the coaches would agree with you. I really don't want this to be seen as a takeover, it is still MTTYs comp until he is able to clarify what is going on.
It obviously just needed action as there was a backlog of trades, and coaches were becoming frustrated at the stagnation that caused. There is also a lack of clarification on the drafts, and some of the trading rules that have been a bit confusing.
In regards to your question about list changes, my interpretation of the existing rules is that you are allowed 5 movements in this trade period, and that draft picks don't count. MTTY said this:
1. A list change will occur for both teams if this happens: Player x for Player y
2. A list change will occur for both teams if this happens: Player x for Draft pick
3. A list change will not count if: Draft pick x for Draft pick y
This is not my preferred method of measuring the movements, but it's what we have to work with now. I think it needs to be reviewed for next season though.
Thanks Spinking for your reply.
I'm happy enough for the temporary fix, but just the way some coaches worded their comments made it sound more permanent...
Thanks also for the clarification. I just feel the trading rules are a little ambiguous.

I respect your view Fletch, but do not agree with you at all.
I have nothing against MTTY and I hope he is well. Seriously.
When people were ripping into him and the competition about trades I stuck up for him and tried to help out, I genuinely don't have a bad feeling in my body for anyone least of all MTTY.
This is not personal, it is administrative and something that just had to happen, probably 4 weeks ago to be fair.
I don't want to get into it but if a coach in this competition is unresponsive for 2 weeks without a good reason provided they are sacked. It's pretty clear and it's not my rule, but it is a rule.
http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,62789.msg808582.html#msg808582
I am more than happy for MTTY to return to run "this" competition, but I would think it a huge injustice to expect Spinking or anyone to put in a huge amount of time and effort just to be pushed aside when MTTY returns if he returns.
I think the co-administration idea is fair to both, especially fair to MTTY given his own rules about going missing...
Again I respect your view too CW.
I'd agree with you entirely if MTTY was away for a long period of time, but if he is away for 2 weeks, then he should.be sacked... You don't know what's happened to them in their personal life. I know I once had a situation where I cut myself off from the world for a few weeks and didn't really explain myself to anyone, before forums were even thought of... lol
Who knows what has happened to him, but I think it is unfair that someone should be sacked. I don't mind the co-admin thing, and I'm sure MTTY would be fine as well, but not sacked. I think that is a bit harsh!
Hence, I am fine to continue my affiliation with the comp, as long as it is not a takeover. I just chose to abstain as I felt it was right. I knew that my vote would have little impact, as it stands I would have voted for Spinking, but just felt right to sit it out.
Never a takeover , I made it sound that way early on - and to be honest being in MTTY's role I have high expectations of him / myself.
But Nails and Ringo got it right in suggesting keeping MTTY in his rightful place but getting him a "partner".
think the best of both worlds and can't say enough hoping MTTY is all ok, just wish for THAT reason (not knowing) more than anything to do with the competition that the clown had let us know!!!! :)
Stand up guy for sticking to your morals and abstaining, we can't all agree but the best we can do is be true to our morals so I take my hat off to you Fletch.
Think MTTY and Spinking will make a fine team, now we just need to find a moderator who can make Spinking a moderator for British so he can get to work...
Can't PM Monty... who else can do it....?
Folks, seeking some opinions on this one, before I'll potentially put it to a vote.
We currently have a rules / trades committee who adjudicate in these areas. This committee originally consisted of MTTY, RooBoys!, CrowsFan, Boomz, Ziplock and ossie85. Obviously MTTY is not currently active, and today RB and CF have requested that they be released from the committee. Both were apologetic and I suspect would have continued on if I had pressed them. I am also unsure what role Ossie will play when he gets back involved in the site.
I am querying 3 different ways to go forward with this:
1. Just replace those who would like to leave with new committee members.
2. Reduce the size of the committee to 3 members who are all active. This is my preferred option as I think it will streamline the trade approval process
3. Do away with the committee, and implement a different system such as the WXV where all trades are voted on by all coaches, or like the EXV where the admin approves all trades except in a protest / dubious trade where it goes to a vote.
I am again conscious of my role as a caretaker here, and so if you feel that making a change like this is too extreme, please say so. Offer your opinion and if there is agreement in a particular direction I will put it to a vote.
I think best way is to let the admin or co-admins decide like Asians. Seems the best way & no so called block voting on some trades.
Happy for you / you & MTTY, to approve or decline trades, or have a reduced 3 man committee.
However with a small 3 man committee i don't think one of the members should be a BXVs coach like there was in the original comittee.
As long as there is an appeals process hich is clear and laid out up front, i think it will be easier and more accurate to just approve /reject yourself.
with the appeals process only there for people to write an essay and explain why they really need the trade ( if uneven and blocked)
whatever you decide is fine by me, you just have to make it clear up front and then it is easy, most trades should pass anyway unless they are ridiculous so it isn't a hard process to rule on them. Unless you intend to be strict and try to ensure even trades every time, then you might be best with a committee :)
swan for blease = no
swan for sloanne / gaff / D Swallow = ok - it's not ridiculously uneven, but it isn't EVEN either....
swan for watson = yes
it's just hard when you get into that ok territory, some people will see it different ways so you need to be clear in advance what the grounds for trade approval will be, and then stick to the guidelines you lay out and there should be no issues....
I'll go with the crowd but would say..
1. You rule alone (you/mtty - when returns).
2. Small committee.
3. Large committee
in that order :)
For what is worth my opinion is that you/MTTY rule on all trades.
We have a committee of 3 coaches plus one alternate to be elected by all coaches to form an appeals committee to hear appeals and make decision if required. Reason for alternate is in the case that trade being appealed involves a coach on the committee. Appeals process will have to be documented so that fribilous appeals do not occur.
Can suggest that the following rules for appeals be used.
Reason for trade rejection are published to both coaches involved.
Any appeal that is made to the committee must address why the reasons for rejection are not correct.
Committee then assesses the trades looking at both arguments and ruling on the trade.
+1 what Ringo Said. Still tehre has to be an ultimate power/ decision maker, be it the admin or the committee the result is the same.
But I'll go with what Ringo says, there are a few ultra-active AXVs and WXVs coaches I am aware of that are not involved with BXVs I would suggest grabbing 3 for the appeals committee and in the event of an appeal the 3 can vote and there will be a majority and all 3 are not involved in BXVs so no issue can be read into with their decision.
Just make sure the said committee coaches are not assistants in BXVs :)
Just think that will be cleaner, YOU Rule on trades, and in the event of an appeal it goes to an EXTERNAL panel. ?
I hate committee crap.
I'm just waiting on 4 coaches to confirm they will be sticking around, before I'll advertise any available roles up. So far everyone Ive spoken to has committed to the comp, which is great.
I'll be reversing the snake in the Rookie draft tonight so that it runs the same way as the Nat, unless anyone has a strong opinion against that. The majority appeared to favour this idea, but we can put it to a vote if anyone would prefer that.
Most also seem to be in favour of a reduction, or dissipation of the trades committee. This will go to a vote, but I'll give it another day or two for anyone to add any comments or thoughts.

Most also seem to be in favour of a reduction, or dissipation of the trades committee. This will go to a vote, but I'll give it another day or two for anyone to add any comments or thoughts.
I believe one of richochet/ele or I confirmed haha, if not, I confirm :)

I'm still in. I hope that MTTY is ok, and ok with this though. I understand the logic behind Spinking being appointef, but I abstained from voting as I felt it was not right, as it was MTTy's idea, and it felt a little like a takeover. Just my opinion before anyone questions me. I discussed it with Ringo and he helped me understand the reasoning, but I still felt it not right to vote.
Regardless of whether it was/wasn't a takeover... if things didn't happen very soon there was going to be nothing to take over. An idea is just that unless someone sees it through. The competition was extremely close to being non-existent imo and this was needed and not an option. I know you discussed w/ Ringo the reasoning but that's my 2c.
If it wasn't for this, we wouldn't be talking about MTTY's comp, we'd be talking about the comp MTTY was thinking about running but never did.
I've now had 12 votes, all in favour of option 3. So from now on - I will approve or reject all votes, however you will have the right to appeal my decisions, in which case it will be referred to the appeals committee. You may do this for your own trades, or for the trades of others if you think they are really lopsided.
I'll update this in the rules thread, will rule on the outstanding trades and will appoint 2 new committee members to join Zip,to ensure this committee is active.
Thanks guys for your trust.
Folks, Im just working on the fixture for 2013.
Can everyone please let me know who their rivals are, and the name of the particular cup you will be fighting it out for.
I believe JBs Hawks and I will be battling it out for 'The Raptors Cup'
Who wants to be my rival?
I'll be your rival or anyone's, I don't think i have a rival yet, pity the fool that steps up to the plate 8)

OK Well put Holz and I down as Rivals if that's ok, should make for a robust rivalry the werewovles supporters are fierce and you play us at home at night and you can't expect all your fans to make the bus.....
Announcement
Today I'm pleased to announce that our trade appeals committee will now be staffed by coaches from other leagues, who are not participating in the BXV. Ziplock (EXV), MyChumps (WXV) and Jayman (AXV) will adjudicate any protested trades. This shouldn't be required often, but gives you the safety net that if you disagree with my judgement, there is an opportunity to challenge the ruling.
Question
I've PM'd MTTY a number of times, and he is now the only coach to not commit to the comp. I think it is definitely fair to give him the opportunity to return in his own time, but my question is: What do we do if he hasn't returned in time for the drafts? Plenty of time before that happens, but Im thinking he really needs to have reconnected by then otherwise his team will hold up the drafts and potentially muck up his team for the next person if he doesn't return. Any thoughts?
If he's not back a week before the draft appoint an assistant to do draft research and draft for him? Reckon he will be back though he has been an FF member for a while so maybe just on holiday or something.
Like it. FisherSaints (Currently an assistant at the Warewolves) has let me know he'd be happy to help MTTY out with this. That could be a good solution.
Im also available to help out if needed. :)
Like Jbs-hawks said MTTY has been a FF member for a while so I can see him coming back. May just need to give him a push along though,
You can have Fisher Saints, nothing personal :) But i have no need of an assistant coach.
I would say letting Fisher draft for MTTY is a very generous offer given any of the rest of us would be sacked. If Fisher or another can't be found then there is only one option left.
Drafts are NOT that far away IMO...
National - Late November
Rookie/Preseason - Mid December
Let me know or tell Fisher to let me know if he wants to take on MTTYs assistant role or possibly his team if it comes to that so I can release him, don't want to sack him otherwise if he isn't required for MTTY.
My assistants for my teams are great ;) Zombie2.5 ive spoken to prolly 3 times and Hawka in Asians doesnt really care so i just do what i want hence trading the only player he wanted in initial draft suckling lol ;D
Righto folks. Another rule that needs clarifying. I am so confused about the list movements calculation that MTTY has left us with:
1. A list change will occur for both teams if this happens: Player x for Player y
2. A list change will occur for both teams if this happens: Player x for Draft pick
3. A list change will not count if: Draft pick x for Draft pick y
There are a hundred scenarios that aren't explained by this rule, several of which have already been encountered. I've just been trying to tally how many movements we've made, and honestly Im starting to guess a bit.
Lets discuss it a bit but my suggestion is a slight change to make it more simple. What if we all have 10 trades rather than 5, but every time a player leaves your team (whether they have been traded in previously or not) it counts as one player movement for your team. This would be much simpler to calculate and hopefully much less confusing.
I am reluctant to change the system mid trade period, but at the moment I'm lacking confidence to tell coaches that they have reached their limit as it is really ambiguous.
Thoughts please.
Why don't we make it 5 trades and every time someone moves its a trade? The whole idea of drafting a team is that you don't make so many moves, and if we have a second trade period we can trade more then anyway if we have to.

Yep, would agree with that except that some have already made more than 5 trades by using players they brought into the side.
Really hard one... ;)
Dont like that idea at all BB if anything should be increased not deacreased....
In Asians it was put to a vote and nearly everyone voted for an increase, i think the best part about these comps is the trading period keeps everyone wanting to try improve there teams which ultimately keeps everyone interested. As the new administrator (assistant ::)) you should have complete control Spink and determibe new rules for the comp.... Really who gives a flower if itschanged mid season anyone seen umpirez act different week to week in afl........
Hahaha. Says the man who if there were 50 trades available, he would want to use 51! ;D
Good to hear those points of view folks. Keep them coming!
Good point :P but still Euros trading was a whole lot more fun compared to this comp.....which is wat its all about! Dont see why anyone should have a say in what a coach does with there team its there team ::) the good old days like being in school
why arnt there 51 trades allowed cause i have 52 ready to go ;D
Any other thoughts on the rule clarifying list movements?
Also still need to know team rivalries for:
Bilston Bunnies
Grope Lane Giants
Hastings Hurricanes
Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs
Leeds Leeches
Manchester Magic
Nottingham Hoods
Oxford Owls
Swansea Breakers
Swindon Swaggers
the Staines Steins and Liverpool Lobsters are now rivals and wil be playing for The LiveStein Cup

FisherSaints has offered to act as caretaker coach for MTTY until he returns, including both trade and draft periods. I like this idea because it gives MTTY more time to get back involved, but doesn't let that list stagnate. Someone needs to determine whether there are players to be delisted, areas should be strengthened etc. Fish is currently assistant at the Warewolves, but will be released if we agree that he is best used for this.
Thoughts?
Wouldnt worry about trading mainly just drafting
Well I was talking to Spink and he said that I could be caretaker coach. I would love to do it plus no one else has offered. I would like to do the trading as then I can be more of a part of the team rather then just drafting
Well your trading track record isn't very good

Haven't locked this in yet. Want to hear the coaches opinions first as I'm conscious of my role as a co-admin here. I do however see that the Hasting Hurricanes have had a number of players delisted, will have a couple of positional changes and have had more players changing teams than others. For this reason I think the list needs someone looking at it. Will make a call on it in a day or two once I've heard some more opinions.

My opinion Spinking is wait till we find out MTTY intention. Some of us also have had players retired or de-listed but according to rules will get compensation picks at the conclusion of the PSD so no real issues here. If I were MTTY I would hate to have some one do some trading for me and perhaps trade players I wanted to retain. After all it his team until ownership is relinquished.
I posted it somewhere here but Im also happy to help out with MTTY's team if needed, I swear I posted before? o.O

This. I don't think MTTY would be happy if he comes back and sees half his team traded, lots of which he had long term plans for. I believe Spinking should be able to draft for him (if MTTY is not back before then), but no trading.

i have to agree with BB here. Yes sure he is away atm with out letting us know ( and i really hope everything is ok ) but if i set up a comp and a team and went away for a bit i wouldnt want to come back to see my team changed. MTTY knows the trade period is on, so he can come on anytime to trade. There is also another trade period later he can trade in
Well I'm sure MTTY has discussed his absence with himself so there fore we can't sack him ;)
And if your trying to bring rules like that up then I don't think you have the right attitude to take a care taker role.
Good debate so far. I'll be led by the opinions of the coaches so make sure you put your opinion forward if you have one.

Manchester V Hebden Bridge....IT'S ON.
Good let FS coach MTTY's team and then MTTY might take the spoon off Nails.
I wasn't planning on making any drastic changes
I just looked at his team and whilst I would love to weasel some of his players off of him he doesn't have any gaping holes other then maybe needing to draft a forward or too.
We don't know his strategies so I say let him wait off if he's not back by December then maybe someone can look after his team in trade period 2.

Spinking, you can't just let someone waltz in and take over MTTY's team and trade it away...
Locking in the Leeds / Nottingham rivalry! Just need Bilston (Boomz), Grope Lane (Nails), Hastings (MTTY) Oxford (Noz), Swindon (Hawka) and Swansea (Ringo) to lock in their rivalries and then the fixture will be released.
Thanks everyone for the comments and PMs regarding how we manage the Hurricanes in MTTYs absence. There appears to be general support for leaving the team intact until such time as MTTY has let us know what is happening.
My decision at this stage is that the team will remain intact until the drafts where a caretaker coach will do the drafting. We will revisit things again after that.
Fixture (http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,68863.msg914782.html#msg914782) for the first 2 rounds are now up, plus the majority of Round 7 (Rivalry Round). Haven't been able to list grounds for some teams as they aren't nominated in your team threads, so get those updated when you can.
Got a bit of a lull now before the Nat and Rookie drafts. Don't mind if we have a lack of activity now as long as everyone fires up again when it's time for the drafts. Perhaps in the meantime folks can check out our rules and information (http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,68854.msg914483.html#msg914483) thread. I'm trying to make it our one stop information hub. Please post up comments or suggestions on how this could be improved.

I'm for Administrator (Spinking - Sole at presnt - Joint if and when MTTY returns ). Administering MTTY team over the upcoming drafts.
It is not ideal but understandably ( he started this comp), everyone seems to want to extend to MTTY an unlimited amount of leeway so the only way to approach it is to have Spinking draft on his behalf and he SITS OUT trading - as others have said, better he misses the trade periods completely than have trades made he doesn't want to make....
and good job spinking, did you get my rivalry sorted ?
threads look great mate again good work :)
Spink, in euros me and ele played of for the RCC ( Red Cross Cup). Is there any chance we could do something similar for our second meeting? Interesting first 2 rounds, Colli and MTTY.

Again I respect your view too CW.
I'd agree with you entirely if MTTY was away for a long period of time, but if he is away for 2 weeks, then he should.be sacked... You don't know what's happened to them in their personal life. I know I once had a situation where I cut myself off from the world for a few weeks and didn't really explain myself to anyone, before forums were even thought of... lol
Who knows what has happened to him, but I think it is unfair that someone should be sacked. I don't mind the co-admin thing, and I'm sure MTTY would be fine as well, but not sacked. I think that is a bit harsh!
Hence, I am fine to continue my affiliation with the comp, as long as it is not a takeover. I just chose to abstain as I felt it was right. I knew that my vote would have little impact, as it stands I would have voted for Spinking, but just felt right to sit it out.
Ok, I've now seen that MTTY has been back on site and created his own phantom draft, but hasn't popped his head in here...
What happened to deter him from continuing with the BXV's?
I've sent him a PM. I think its best he at least has a right of reply before that is done CW.
Something has pissed him off. Wouldn't it be best if he does come back and participate, and everything is forgotten, rather than just sack him, get a new manager, and waste time!!
You're right about one thing though, no other manager would probably be allowed to do this, but if they had a clear explanation, then it would be ok, so lets see if MTTY has one as well.
I'm sure he's been contacted, but has not responded, hence the reason for your opinion, but I've explained a few things in my PM about what my view was beforehand, so I'm hoping that might smooth things over. Probably won't, but lets wait and see.
http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,69109.0.html
For those that may not have picked up MTTY has posted this in the front bar.
As you can see he will continue to coach his team in The British, Hand the reigns over to spinking as controller of British but provide input as required.
Do not think we need to pursue reasons why, given his comments, and just respect his statement and privacy. It may be advisable to recommend he find an assistant coach though to cover him should these circumstances arise again.
It's all good, lads. He has handed back his EXV team, passed the admin role at the BXV to me, and is keen to continue managing the Hastings Hurricanes. He has been apologetic for the absence, which I think is reasonable.
He has been in contact with me via PM, passing over some plans that he had for the comp. I've suggested that he post them up in the discussion thread for comment.
Fair enough, I'd not read that thread. Good to see he will still be coaching his team, and also glad to see Spinking take over the reigns :)
I hope all is ok with his personal life.
Here is the idea that i had before my leave of absence everyone, i've shared it with Spink and opinions would be great. (Although since the rookie draft is fairly compromised with delistings compo etc. we could hold off a year too)
Hey guys i was thinking towards the future of British 15s and a possible expansion club.
My thoughts on how it works
Club inclusion year - 2015
The expansion team will come into play in 2015 (when the lists are down to 42 for all the other clubs).
Drafting 2012
The expansion club will be allowed the following in 2012
Rookie Draft
Pick #55
Pick #56
Pick #57
Pick #58
Pick #59
Pick #60
Pick #61
Pick #62
These picks may be taken on unselected AFL players, un picked National draft or Rookie draft players.
Up and coming Talent Scheme
In this scheme the team is allowed the following:
Pick #1 - Has to be a mature aged player outside the AFL that could be drafted before the 2015 season kicks off
Pick #2 - A player from the 2013 draft class (next years draftees, not this years that is not selected in the mini draft)
List as of 2013 - 10 players
2013 Drafting
Rookie Draft
Pick #1
Pick#2
Pick#3
Pick#22
Pick#23
Pick#24
Pick#43
Pick#44
Up and coming Talent Scheme
In this scheme the team is allowed the following:
Pick #1 - Has to be a mature aged player outside the AFL that could be drafted before the 2015 season kicks off
Pick #2 - Has to be a mature aged player outside the AFL that could be drafted before the 2015 season kicks off
List as f 2014 - 20
2014 Drafting
Rookie draft
1st pick of each round (3 rounds)
2 picks at the end of the draft
Regional talent
Pick#1 - Has to be a player from the upcoming draft in the Victorian Region
Pick#2 - Has to be a player from the upcoming draft in the South Australian Region
Pick #3 - Has to be a player from the upcoming draft in the West Australian Region
Pick #4 - Has to be a player from the upcoming draft in the New South Wales Region
Pick #5 - Has to be a player from the upcoming draft in the Tasmanian Region
Pick #6 - Has to be a player from the upcoming draft in the Queensland Region
Pick #7 - Has to be a player from the upcoming draft in the Northern Territory Region
Note - these must be used by a set date before the actual AFL's draft - TBD
Recruiting
The new club will be allowed to do the following three times to three different clubs -
Each club must select 5 players on its list to restrict. After that the new club is then allowed to pick a player from three different teams lists (then the club who had a player taken will be delivered with compensation)
National Draft
Pick#1
Pick#2
Pick#3
Pick#5
Pick#7
Pick#9
Pick#25
Pick#44
Pick#63
Trading
2 Mini Draft picks - These picks can be used on any player for the 2015 draft class (no birthday restricton) But they have to be used prior to the start of the 2015 season, thus they are making a bit of a guess on the best talents in that year.
List as of 2015 (without taking into account mini draft trading) - 44 (hopefully atleast 46 with mini draft trades)
Your thoughts???

Pity he didn't communicate better, leave it for us/ me to think the worst.
I obviously retract my previous statements and happy to hear all is well with MTTY, which is the main thing, which is also something I have asked the guy via PM yet still had no contact from him.
whatever - all good,guess i'll go look for the front bar post, just happy to hear he is well.
I do like the expansion idea MTTY, but I don't know how it would quite work in reality. Would someone be prepared to draft a team over 4 years before actually getting it to play matches? I know I wouldn't.

I think a worlds or euro or asians coach would as they have existing teams to manage so the fact this one wouldn't start until 2015 wouldn't concern them.
and drafting seems to be the most fun of running a team, that and trading.
I like the idea, they setup MTTY has laid out looks pretty good and its 2 seasons (2013, 2014) on the sidelines only, team is included in 2015.
mixes it up a bit....
I didnt get it at first :-[ now i do after reading the more intellectual guys comments who did, i also like the idea 8)
think the teams coach coming in could get a few more advantages though. maybe being allowed to trade in 2013/14 and more trades in 2015 + a longer team list then others :-\
Good work on sparking the debate MTTY. I'll make the same comments here that I did via PM.
I generally like the concept except I question whether it is needed. With 18 teams already this would mean less chance for teams to make the finals, a slight weakening of the quality of teams, and the need for the introduction of a bye.
I also don't like the idea of it starting this season, as there are quite a few other challenges to sort through including sorting out the delistings, and getting the comp working well in its inaugural season.
I also felt that a coach might be reluctant to coach a team for 2 years without it actually playing, and this might potentially remove some quality players from the comp during that time.
Anyway those are my thoughts. As I said to MTTY though I reckon it's a good debate, and if the mood out there is that it is a good move I'll get behind it. Just need to be convinced that its good for the comp ;)
Might of worked this year in euros with the quality players left in the draft pool but our lists are too big and we have too many teams tobe feasible.
Yeah I dont like the idea of getting players already... :-X

Locking in the Leeds / Nottingham rivalry! Just need Bilston (Boomz), Grope Lane (Nails), Hastings (MTTY) Oxford (Noz), Swindon (Hawka) and Swansea (Ringo) to lock in their rivalries and then the fixture will be released.
Thanks everyone for the comments and PMs regarding how we manage the Hurricanes in MTTYs absence. There appears to be general support for leaving the team intact until such time as MTTY has let us know what is happening.
My decision at this stage is that the team will remain intact until the drafts where a caretaker coach will do the drafting. We will revisit things again after that.

Grope Lane and Swansea will be playing for the Lion Shield in their rivalry round. Trust you like the selection of the Shield Nails
Might be best to bring the compensation rule discussions over to this thread. Just got a couple of thoughts:
1. I am not keen to push forward with expansion this season, due to the complexity around our initial rookie drafts and compensation picks. I reckon we discuss it towards the end of next season, and keep MTTY's model in mind for how it might be implemented.
2. The compensation rules should only be in play for the intial season. It's going to be a bit of hard yacka to ensure the compo system works well, and this is only fair after we drafted our teams mid season, but in future seasons I think delisted players should just result in an extra rookie draft pick, unless there are significantly unusual circumstances.
3. I suggest that immediately after the actual drafts, all delisted players come off all our lists and picks are assigned appropriate compensation according to Ringo's system. This gives coaches a chance to hold onto players to see if they will get picked up. For example Fletch will know by then if Gram has been picked up by a new team.
4. Seeing as we only drafted the teams recently, I wouldnt think there will be scenarios where we want to delist players who are still on an AFL list, but if this occurs I don't think there should be an early compensation - just an extra pick after the Rook Draft.
Any thoughts or arguments? :)
Just copied my proposal from the Trade thread so it can be seen, Basically it models what Spinking is saying but offers what I consider appropriate picks based on when we drafted players initially and what pick they were in relation to the team selection. Eg Gramm was Fletchs 8th pick despite being pick 144 overall so you can see possibly why I have suggested as below.
Agree that this season possibly too early to expand with re adjustment of teams and compo picks.
It will be hard to get a purely Fair system but hopefully in Fletch's case Gram gets picked up. Maybe just amend my proposal to any picks under 180 (Top 10 picks for all teams in the Draft) have a priority pick in the Rooke Draft eg 1st picks. This may equate to losing a top 10 pick from your side.
Making the suggestion as follows: (I have redrafted slightly and leave it open to debate)
Draft picks under 180 - Priority picks in the Rookie Draft. (Top 10 picks per team in Draft) Currently one pick that is first pick in the Rookie draft
Draft picks 181- 270 Compensation picks after Round 1 (these were picks 11 - 15 in draft) Currently 4 picks
Draft Picks 271 - 360 Compensation picks after Round 2 (these would be picks 15 - 20 in draft) Currently 4 picks
Draft Picks 361 - 450 Compensation picks after Round 3 (these would be picks 20 - 25 in Draft) Currently 4 picks
Balance after Round 4
Basically this means that we are giving priority picks in the Rookie draft to teams that have lost players from their top 25 picks.
Rules around this would be that the order would be on the basis of picks and that the player no longer is playing in the AFL eg retired or not picked up by another club. If you still choose to delist one of these players that have been picked up by another club you will revert to picking after the Rookie draft.
Hope this makes sense. But really needed to concentrate on getting suitable compensation for a team losing a top 10 pick. To show my Fairness could have made it top 15 and included my own 2 players who are retired and de-listed but I believe a top 10 pick really deserves it if not picked up.
Please feel free to pull apart or discuss further (Originally thinking next 10 picks for the compo picks after each round but thought that may be a bit too generous.)
I think all compensation picks should be at the end of the rookie draft. Our original draft is over what pick people went is trivial now. If you lose a high pick that's just bad luck every player on your list is now even.
Although original draft is over we were drafting players for next years competition and some of the delistings and retirements were not known when we listed. I was just attempting to work out a fair way to compensate teams that have lost dome of their top drafted players through these issues. If we were drafting we would not be taking these players. One of the reason why drafting a team prior to final list lodgements is a little dangerous.
Another delisting for me....
Prismall - takes the tally to 10. Soon I'll have half my list not playing :'(

Know how you feel Fletch - I have 12 retirements/delistings in worlds, Like me you will be hoping some get picked up.
I have modified my list to reflect the latest 3 delistings and relative picks as well Spinking. Also have removed Gillies from list now he has signed with Demons.
Will repost updated list in this thread.
Updated de-listing list moved to this thread. Includes Dons 3 delistings and have removed Gillies since being picked up by Dees. Will try and keep this list up to date in this thread seeing this where the compo discussions are taking place.

6 Delistings at the Falcons. :-[
Righto chaps. Here is my proposal about the compensation rule amendments. I've included all of Section 4 (Rookie Draft) and have put the new section and changes in RED. It's essentially a formalisation of the general consensus that has already been discussed. If there are any major queries we will discuss them and put to a vote if necessary. :)
4.1 In the foundation season of the league the Rookie Draft will be conducted in a snake format, in the opposite direction to the Initial Draft.
4.2 In the foundation season only, compensation picks will be awarded to teams who lose players delisted by an AFL club. If these players are redrafted by a new club, no compensation picks will be awarded. In the evening after the AFL Pre-Season and Rookie Drafts (December 11th 2012) all players no longer listed with an AFL club will be removed from their team list. The team will then receive compensation picks in the following manner:
Players picked in the top 180 of the initial draft = Compensation pick prior to 1st round rookie draft
Players picked 181 - 270 in the initial draft = Compensation picks after round 1 of the rookie draft
Players picked 271 - 360 in the initial draft = Compensation picks after round 2 of the rookie draft
Players picked 361 - 450 in the initial draft = Compensation picks after round 3 of the rookie draft
These compensation picks may not be traded, and this process will not be repeated for future drafts
4.3 All future drafts will be looped commencing with the team finishing last the previous season.
4.4 Each team will be allocated 3 picks which may be used in the draft, or traded on to other teams.
4.5 Players selected in the rookie draft must be currently on an AFL list, and must not be currently listed by any British 15s team
4.6 At the conclusion of the rookie draft all teams must have 46 currently listed AFL players. Teams not meeting filling this quote will receive additional picks at the conclusion of the rookie draft, in the same order as previous rounds. These additional picks may not be traded.
4.7 All compensation picks will be awarded at the discretion of the administrator. These may be awarded in abnormal circumstances which significantly affect the team in question.
Looks good Boss.
Folks - The 2013 Fixture is complete and is available to view here:
http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,68863.msg914782.html#msg914782
I'm adding in the home grounds now - but I can't find grounds listed for: Staines, Grope Lane, Bilston, Manchester or Liverpool. Can those coaches please let me know where there teams will be playing and update it on their threads. Thanks!
Also, we've got a spare round mid season, for some representative matches. Anyone got any ideas?

I like it! Judging by that list, I'm sure we all know the North will be superior - all the gun coaches and players hail from that way :D
Seriously it does look very even. Premiership favorites Birmingham down south but some quality performers in the North squad.
Reckon the highest ranking coach from each side of the border coaches the rep team, the coaches vote on it, or we get some externals?
Are you sure Nottingham is in the South Ringo? It's actually further north than Liverpool...?

sounds fair, the leading coach in each of the north and the south can captain, just name a cut off round for him/her to be appointed and away we go...
cant have it run by committee be too messy and time consuming getting agreement on the team to name for the clash?
unless you had all the coaches from each of the north and south make a part of the starting team.
1 - mids
2- fwds
3-def
4-ruck
5-utilities
6- captain
7- emergencies
8- ? vice captain - bit of a nothing contribution
9- ? ? ?
Nah just one coach whoever is highest ranked or has most points scored come 2 weeks before the rep match?

Ok, so two more delistings for me, Lower and Roberton..... *sigh* That's now 12, practically 1/3rd of my list!! :'(
We have escaped very unscathed.
One retirement (Stiller) and one delistment (Harvey). Gillies found a home at the Dees luckily enough!
De listings updated on page 11 to reflect latest de-listings including McPhee retirement.
Didn't realise Grope Lane wasn't an actual place/town... lol

Congratulations to Kilbluff who will be taking over Management of the Birmingham Bombers from Holz. Holz will be remaining as assistant and mentor, which is great as he is one of our most respected and knowledgable coaches. Thanks to Holz for giving the opportunity to an up and comer.
As the coaches will know from my PM it is also my intention to stand down as coach of the Falcons and remain as an independent administrator of the league. All the responses I've received to this thus far have been supportive so I'll advertise the position shortly. I wont be remaining on in any capacity at the club as I intend to become removed from any loyalty to any club.
cheers Spinking and yes it is an honour to have Holz as my Mentor/Assistant Coach
wtf!!! andrew collins!>??? didn't see that one :(
nice work ringo :)
so i cant do any trades until Dec 27th right guys? or after the rookie draft
After the Rookie Draft a new window will open up. ;)
Another great up and coming coach joins our ranks. Jayman has joined Lez as a co-coach at the Badgers. Good to have you on board Jay!

Ben Hudson may not be retired after all, so might want to put an asterix next to that compo pick! :)
what happened to all the talent in the BXVS national draft.....?
oh that's right the WEREWOLVES ate it all up ! ;D
Callum Bartlett has been delisted today but do not worry Noz indications are that he will be picked up again in the rookie or pre season draft
Spink i really think we should look at having a vote for a trade period between the end of the nat draft and rookie draft.
I have plenty of reasons why but the main one would be you've just appointed 2 new head coaches who have been left with very little list movements if they wanna change there team. I think Sid has one left after we've already done a 2nd period trade before he was the coach and whats he gonna do with that if he doesnt like his team haha
Plus i need a ruck and fwd lol ;D
Nah enough trading.
Quote from: JBs-Hawks on November 29, 2012, 06:15:12 PM
Nah enough trading.
Pffft if you dont wanna trade which i dont see why cause your team could use it haha then dont trade, why try stop others having the chance to improve there teams just cause you cant be bothered ???
With the rookie Draft starting on 11th December would only have a very small window though.
Have we completed the National Draft yet. I am happy for a second trade period if all coaches agree (although I may not participate unless good offers come up), can I suggest though that all trades must be completed by 8th December to allow trades committee to rule on trades
Happy to put it to a vote if the interest is there, and I understand those reasons. I suppose my reluctance to allow excessive trading to ensure there is reasonable consistency in teams.
Maybe another option could be to change the next trade period cap from 5 to 10?
If anyone has an opinion either way put it forward.
well i hope my first trade gets passed will be worth it to here lez complain about it more lol
Lol I'll stop complaining, but yeah I'm up for a window, Jayman would be keen since our co-coaching roles have just begun.
starting 5 mids and 3 defenders would be so much easier

Yeah I agree. Keep it as the same. Many would have drafted players based on the old structure so altering it now at the conclusion of drafting seems unjust to me :-\
yeah it wasnt a real suggestion just wishful thinking
Spinking is going to be away for health reasons for an undetermined amount of time, effective immediately.
We need to sort out a temporary administrator for the BXVS.
I am not sure if MTTY has the time but he would be the ideal and obvious choice. Otherwise possibly one of the other candidates we voted on to run the competition in the interim.
Discuss ideas.Or we could just make Ringo do it :)
Spinking has not made his health issues public however a PM to him to wish him the best would be a nice gesture from people I think.
Assuming that MTTY still doesn't have the time to do this I think that Ringo would be the most appropriate interim admin.
:)
:o Spinks a top bloke hope he gets better soon!!!

Thanks for the vote of confidence and I will do what I can to assist but I have some personal issues at the moment which may mean being absent for a day every now and then for the next couple of months.
MTTY can assist you over this period. Not sure whether we want a draft before draft as we now only have a week and do not think it is viable my opinion. Would suggest we start draft on 12th December (11th December after PSD completed if person with 1st pick available) with only 4 rounds and compensation picks should get through in a week and we start 2nd trade period on completion.
Do not think we have voted/agreed on compensation picks for de listed players at this stage. Happy to be proved wrong though. Know it is in thread discussion but did not see where we agreed or voted, on the compensation proposals.
yeah i read that mostly jargon to me only been playing the game bit over a week lol well not Jargon but i don't understand whats different from the PSD to the draft we just finished

:o Spinks a top bloke hope he gets better soon!!!
I'll run it haha, Nah hopefully MTTY or Ringo will as where coming into the rookie draft + 2nd trade period opens and maybe a trade period between now and rookie draft so busy times for admin! need someone who knows what there doing
why haha and nah pickers?
you are on a lot and seem a switched on guy. We need someone to step up in Spinkings absence, I would not be opposed to anyone willing to put in the work to be given the responsibility.
Ringo has a lot on and while he is willing to and always does help a lot he can't do everything or be on all the time, so a stand in administrator is still required.
MTTY is also great but also stated he cant be on as much as he used to be and we don't want to pressure people who have stepped back a little to over commit themselves again.
but we DO need to arrange someone with the rookie draft and following trade period fast approaching.
if somebody could tell me exactly what i needed to do and when i have the time to do it but yeah as i have said i just not been doing this long enough to know :-X
Yes we do need to find an Administrator ASAP!! and one of us who's not 100% keen may have to step up whilst spink is away as agree we cant always really on a certain few to do the work but im not the administrator type :-\ haha. Actually not sure if there is a type but putting list together and running drafts all whilst making sure i obide by the rules let alone others, just doesnt excite me lol, happy to put my hand up to help though :)
You just got the job KB 8) haha.
um think we should talk about my hourly rate and what model i want my company car to be first

Am happy to look after the rookie draft have posted picks in the Rookie Draft thread and will keep an eye on that. If anyone can locate a definitive list of players not yet picked up by a British Team would be happy. I have posted what I know in the Rookie Draft Thread.
Will do what I can with the comp but do have some personal issues going on which may or may not effect my availability.
Check out the last few posts in this thread for the rookie draft and feel free to comment on the rookie draft.

that is funny. (the avatar)
Seems Ringo is on top of it all anyway, he may just need a volunteer to assist him when he cant be on, updating picks, lists trades and whatever else is required.
You know what, I will put my hand up to help Ringo out in Spink's absence. I am active enough and should be able to take care of stuff like updating picks and listing trades. Up to you lot though :)
Well I have nothing to do for like 2 months now, so I can help as well if it is needed in any way. Just tell me what I would need to do and I am happy to help. I don't mind doing organising and running drafts and stuff, its fun to have power ;)
Looks like two more then capable guys in Jay and BB available to run a trade period for next 6 days ;D

we are in a trade period right now? thought it wasnt until the 27th :P
Thanks Jay and BB. One thing that needs to be done and I am open to suggestions from you both is to ascertain what players are still left over from the drafts. so we can list them for the next draft. This will make it a little easier on coaches.
Had thought of using the Asians thread and doing a cross reference to the British Draft. The British draft did not have an initial list whereas Asians did. Individual team threads are not up to date either which would assist.
As far as I know we are not in a trade period currently due to proximity of draft. However if the majority want a a trade period to expire on Monday night at 8:00pm happy to arrange. Only issue will be trades committee approval.
Do not forget my post a few up detailing draft picks.

and you wanted a company car :o were not currently in a trade period it opens up after the rookie draft which is on the 12th i think :P and ive used all my 10 list movements over the two trade periods already and im bored so keen to trade more :D
hey i was just reading the dates in the date thread thingy
yeah i wouldnt mind getting our trade confirmed/accepted officially lol
To clarify as I think people are being confused by trading and Draft:
The Rookie Draft will commence on December 12th at 8am.
There will be 3 rounds of regular selections, followed by as many additional rounds as are necessary to replace players lost to retirement or delisting. These picks will continue to be taken in the same snaked order as the rookie draft until each team meets its required size of 46.
Following the completion of this rookie draft the next trade period will open up.

Looking through for who is not picked, there is the list on the front page of the national draft of players not picked by club. Kilbluff has a post a few up in this thread with the last round of picks in the national draft I can also cross off. Then I can go through all those remaining on the list and check that none of them have been drafted at all. How does that sound?

I have updated KB's list in the National Draft thread but just concerned a player or 2 may have been missed. Just the analytical mind in me coming out. Just looking at how to double check. Concern I have there is 71players on the list so to ensure we can get our full quota of players. If 71 is correct then we will need at least another 47 players to be rookie listed or delisted players picked up to enable all teams to be filled.
Im keen to take care of the trade period after the rookie draft 8)

Let me cross reference if the numbers are correct using the Asian draft lists. This number of 71 only includes players currently on a list, yes?

Yes BB so does not include club de listed players who may be picked up by other clubs eg Hudson to Pies. You can check the Rookie trade thread and compo picks to pick up de listed players if necessary.

I am fairly sure that your numbers are correct there Ringo and those 71 remaining are all that have not been picked up. I might do another look through tomorrow though, just to be sure of this.
seems Ringo has things in hand, but I am sure he could use a partner or two to help him out over the draft and trade period, suggest anyone interested or available PM Ringo.
Just letting you all know that BB67th and Jayman are assisting during this period of absence by Spinking,
We will be finalising draft order after the PSD and Rookie AFL draft next Tuesday and hoping to get draft underway at 8:00am next Wednesday. Also hoping to list all players available prior to the draft all being well.
I maybe off line from this afternoon till tomorrow afternoon due to the current personal issues I have.
good work Ringo, hope your issues are not bad and you get through them/work them out soon. Good Luck Mate.
Just a note here to all BXV Coaches.
If you have not compiled a team list yet, do not worry, as coming up to the drafts, Jayman and I have compiled team lists for all 18 BXV teams. The lists will be posted sometime this afternoon in a thread on the BXV board, where coaches can then copy the lists into their own team threads.

You aren't able to delist players. If you didn't want them you shouldn't have drafted them. You shouldn't be able to get compensation just because you decide that you now don't want a player anymore. This is also what has been laid down as the rules in other threads.

cant find any rules about delisting. and im nopt tying to be a smartar$e or pick a fight, but if a coach wanted to delist someone surely they should be able to (before the rookie draft was done, so it cant be done now) and then get a pick at the end of the rookie draft for that player??
As this is the initial draft of the competition one would assume that there would be no de-listings of player prior to start of the competition. This was one of the reasons why if delisted players were picked up by other clubs you kept that player.
As a secondary consideration as well with the number of players we have available it would be highly likely that yopu may have to select the player de-listed if he is still available at end of draft.
No delistings occurred to my knowledge in Euros or Worlds in their initial drafts.
Yeah what's the point of delisting... You will get last round compo. If you delist it wouldn't get compo before a certain round, you would get the final rounds.
Hi Team BXV!
Just got home from hospital today and have spent some time looking through the threads. So impressed by the blokes who have jumped in to help out in my absence!!! The BXV has had a rocky path so far, but we've got such a good group of blokes that the comp will remain strong!
I'm still a fair way from getting on regularly. I haven't got much energy at this stage, so probably can't help out a great deal yet. While I love holding the admin role for the comp I won't be offended if you want to give me the boot as it may be near the start of the season before I'm back regularly.
Thanks to those blokes who sent messages of support! Much appreciated!
Good to see you back Spinky! Take all the time off you need mate, we have this covered!
Wish you a speedy recovery
Great to see you out of hospital Spinking -
As far as I am concerned and I think I speak for the majority of coaches here we will welcome you back in the Admin role when you are able. You have done wonders in the short time you had with revamping the thread so would like you to continue.
We are happy to keep it rolling while you continue to recuperate and continue to give any assistance that is required.
Your health is most important so wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery.
Nice one spink, get well mate :)

There is no way in this world that we'd get rid of yourself as Admin, just because you're ill. We will welcome you back when you're fit and ready.
Great to see you out of hospital, and lets hope for a speedy recovery.
hope we get the draft done by christmas so people can relax at this rate we should i think
wish people would send the next person a PM and say they have so i don't have to do it every time ::)
Apologies KB forgot to tell you I PM'd fletch.
lol all good wasn't just directed at you mate
No point sending me a PM, my e-mail is my wok e-mail, so will only get it during work hours unless I log on ;) :P
Just asking everyones thoughts on this idea following the draft:
To make it similar to the AFL we list 6 players from the list as rookies leaving team lists as 39 players and 6 rookies,
Similar rules to apply ie Rookies can only be promoted as a result of long term injury to a player.
Just throwing out there to make it similar to AFL Team management.
Am not really against or for it does not bother me
but Clubs can only have 4 rookie listed players now but i think if they have a spot on the main list they can rookie list someone instead of putting them on the main list
i think we could do 40 senior listed players then the rest rookie listed would be more realistic
but some BXV teams don't even have there team lists in there team threads which is actually in the rules to do so ::)

I will update the team lists in the team lists thread once the rookie draft is done and then people can use those lists so we all have the same layout and easy to use design. I like the idea of rookie list as well.
do i need to tell anyone i changed my home ground?
Just send Spinking a PM and he will adjust when back on deck. Thank you KB for all your efforts here as well KB.
With 36 players still to be drafted and as we are in a Christmas Break as well just putting this out there.
With spinking hoping to return and to make his job easier.
Can I suggest that when you have drafted your full list of 45 players you send to Spinking and myself or post in this thread
http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,69887.0.html
Your team lists in priority order Team to include 41 Senior players and 4 Rookie Players.
Reason for Priority order it will assist if we have to make decisions regarding emergencies etc.
Rookies will be under the same rules as AFL and can only be promoted as a result of long term injury. Still toying with the idea of allowing a mid year promotion though.
Realise there is a lot going on with the British but I am doing my best along with a couple of others to keep the momentum going while Spinking recuperates.
Our next task will be the second trade window opening.
will anyone give me anything for Didak? he is going cheap!

Sorry :(
There has been a bit of talk going in a couple of team threads as to who has the better teams so I am transferring mine here to get the thread stimulated.
Here is my best xv
DEF: Mitchell Golby; Troy Chaplin; ;Dylan Grimes; Colin Garland/Sam Docherty
MID: Daniel Rich; Dane Swan; Steele Sidebottom; Brent Moloney
RUCK: Nic Naitanui
FWD: Adam Goodes; Matthew DeBoer; Eddie Betts; Josh J Kennedy
UTIL: Leigh Montagna; Adam Cooney
Lot of depth in backs but not the high scorer have Patful, Maguire, Rising Star Daniel Talia Lachie henderson and Campbell Brown as back ups.
Can move Nat forward if need be with Jamar as ruck back up.
You have 100's of injured/suspended players...
If you have a unplayed rookie on field then you are no match for the Badgers 8)
(shower talking)
Looking forward to Round 8 Lez
If any coaches also wish to withdraw from the competition can you PM me asap so we can arrange a replacement coach and not compromise the competition by having inactive coaches,
Realise we have got off to a shaky start but I will be doing all I can to make this as successful as possible.
Draw has been completed and is stickied as one of the 4 threads at top along with rules. Please familiarise yourself with Rules 7 & 8 which will come into effect in the next few weeks.
Just working through the logistics of recording weekly results and other enhancements for the competition,
Any ideas please feel free to PM me or post in this thread,
There are many teams that are inactive don't respect this comp as much as they should. I think you need to pick up on the inactive ones as there are plenty of interest for more active forum members.
yeah Ringo i'd get on the front foot PM the handful of coaches that are not active tell them they need to be more active or atleast respond to PM's if they don't improve just sack them
think this is a very important step in order to make this comp successful imo
if they cant take the time to explain why they wont be on or inactive then well.....

Yes I would probably agree with this. I know we went through a bit a while ago, but I think we have all worked hard to get the competition to where it is now and we need some dedicated coaches to see it through.
Using the discussion thread to get your ideas on the rule I am proposing for rookies.
Will not be offended if you shoot arrows through it as I see the British as your comp as well and although I have final say will put things out in this thread for discussion.
Rules for Rookies:
1. Each list to comprise 4 Rookie listed players,
2. Rookies can be promoted when a Long term injury has been notified, Rookie promotion to be notified to Administrator for confirmation.
3, Any time after Round 13 one Rookie may be promoted to Senior list, Rookie promotion to be notified to Administrator for confirmation.
At conclusion of Season you may promote rookies to your senior list but they will count as a list movement, (To offset this I am proposing to have trade period 1 (of which this is part) capped at 15 list movements and trade period 2 at 8.
You may choose to delist rookies. All delistings to be confirmed prior to National Draft.
Lists will be retained at 45 with 41 Senior Listed Players and 4 rookies.
For Draft Periods
National Draft you will draft players till your list reaches 41,
Rookie Draft you will draft till you have 4 rookie listed players.
Thoughts appreciated and also if not clear,
Another item for discussion.
For those that are involved in Worlds you will note an Idol proposal.
For British I am Proposing we have a Knockout King.
Will be run as follows:
Each week the team of the Lowest scoring coach will be eliminated.
For the first 10 rounds Top team will be safe from elimination the following week. Should this occur 2nd bottom team will be eliminated.
Winner will be known after Round 18.
Just a little extra for comments.
My thoughts on the rookie system.
-Rookies should be allowed to be temporarily promoted when a long term injury has occurred, when the injured player comes back, the rookie goes back to the rookie list.
-How does the promoting after round 13 work? Does this mean you swap a player from the senior to the rookie list for good to keep the numbers even? Or do you then get 42 on the senior list and 3 on the rookie list?
-I think the only way you should be able to put rookies on the senior list for good is to upgrade them through the national draft.
i like it all but 15 list movements is to many imo people are not going to promote all rookies and even then will still have 11 movements i think 10 is enough not 15
yeah like everything else but you should define LTI like 4 weeks+ or something

I think LTI is defined as when a player is moved to a LTI list in the AFL, you can do it in the British XVs as well.
15 list movements is way to many imo. I think we should promote 1 rookie upgraded after round 13 and temporarily promote 1 rookie per LTI. All the other rookies should be upgraded at the national draft like in AFL, so say we add another round into the national draft.

Yeah that would be a good addition to the game Ringo, the more awards given out, the better as far as I'm concerned ;)
Yeah seems like another great idea Ringo 8) we will have to build a bigger trophy cabinet to fit them all in though ;D
I like the knockout king idea but not a fan of rookies.
Just raising through here and would appreciate comments:
Is it worthwhile raising A Sportal League solely for coaches to be supplemented by assistant coaches for British only. If enough interest generated I will raise and avise code. If interested go to British xv.s Sportal League thread.

I totally agree with nrich, I also gather that there will be a time period where the player who go on LTI can not play?

*spies on competition*
*see's Ringo doing a terrific job*
*goes back to think of better ideas to compete*
Honoured with comments but in no way can compete with you. You started xv's comps just wanting to make sure the British complement the Worlds and maintains competiveness.
There has been a suggestion to have a mini trade period after NAB cup.
Can I have you thoughts on this proposal.
Thinking to be beneficial we run for from Sunday 10th March to Thursday Midday 21st March with a 3 movement limit. (Do not think we need to wait till after the NAB cup final as we would have seen enough by then) Picked Thursday as you have lodge teams on Friday and need time to amend Team lists.
Please also remember to lodge current lists in Team Lists thread ASAP now.
Just think its a good idea because some players values will rise after the NAB
I think this will help Ossie. Could even give him an extra few movements..
Cheers whatlez, but I would actually be against another trade period....

Would have thought everybody would have had plenty of time already, is just my opinion though
True but a handful of coaches have been inactive hopefull this will be rectified by then
E.G Hawka. He only traded to me because I begged him for days lol
I would probably be against another trade period. I think everyone has had enough time to trade if they want to now, and for those who have been inactive, well it's bad luck, they knew when the trade periods would be on, and they chose not to be around then.
Regarding the inactive people it affects everyone not just them

If anyone is being disadvantaged by a trade, they shouldn't be doing it. Every trade should advantage everybody (some more than others for sure) otherwise why make the trade :). Unless your team is perfect, you can always benefit by trading.
But this is just my opinion, happy to go with whatever Ringo decides - especially since I'm not an official coach lol

You will be an official coach im sure ;) have you seen some trades that go through there is no way you could say that both teams gained an advantage from it, why some coaches do those trades i dont know but they do happen.
I think people's options on players differ so not everyone will like the trade but the person doing it might rate the player more then others

Another item for discussion -
With the split Rounds of the competition Rds 1,5 and 14 do we need Partial lockouts or just have Total lockout.
If implemented Partial lockout will apply to players only Captain and V/C will need to be set at initial lock out. Loophole can not be used for emergencies.
Thoughts
yeah rolling sounds good
any develepment on the trade period Ringo? looking likely/unlikely?
Partial seems good to me :)

so lame just because they don't want to trade ::)
I think a rolling lockout would be good. Definitely have C and VC locked in at the first game though.
Just to clarify it is not intended to have a full rolling lock out only in Rounds 1, 5 and 14 where comp is split.
me so sad already had a trade pretty much done :-[
did you get votes from Colli+Jukes ?
I know Ossie was dead against it...
I voted for trade period and same with Pickerman.

maybe disappointing not to have a trade period for Os and Jukes but they liked the list already anyway so not so bad. I wouldn't have minded either way, these things are always contentious especially in a 7-7 vote

Remember though you can promote a rookie to replace him as per the rookie rules. Same will apply to coach who has Suckling just away from my main computer atm so can not check.
With getting close to first week of the competition Thought I would put a reminder here for all.
Team lists are to be lodged weekly in this thread.
http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,70309.msg954798.html#msg954798
Also may familiarise yourself with the rules as well.
http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,70282.0.html
Couple of rules still not finalised so will be sending out a vote to enable finalisation. Will concern home ground advantage and non lodgement of teams. So please vote on the options given.
Also remember those that have Suckling and Johnson have the opportunity to promote a rookie as per the rules.
Also we will have rolling lockouts for the split rounds Rd 1, Rd 5 and Rd 14. For Round 1 teams must be lodged by Bounce down on Friday 22nd March with any adjustments to teams by bounce down Thursday 28th March. Players from Crows, Bombers, Dockers and Eagles will be set and can not be interchanged. For Rd 5 and 14 Teams playing on Thursday night will be locked but you have till bounce down Friday to change if required,
Oh god was worried you would do that to I don't like points on top of players scores personally
Quote from: Ringo on March 16, 2013, 02:14:12 PM
Teams can now be lodged in this thread - Rules have been restated here following voting as well.
http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,70309.msg1023112.html#msg1023112
have also decided to assist me to give 20 Bonus points each week to teams updated with scores prior to midnight on the day of final match.
might want to clarify this Ringo.
In AXVS I am banning any modifying of a team post after lockout. ( poeple could change players) unlikely but possible - so no modifying your team lodgement post after lockout.
So with this updating our team lodgement posts in the thread with scores, do we MODIFY the post , post again? or quote our team post - so it is a new post?
and the deal is post the players scores for you in the same thread by midnight on the day of the last game = +20 points?
Just to clarify as Colli has asked explained in more detail in the thread but will also clarify here.
Rounds 1, 5 and 14 will have 2 lock outs The first one will be at Bounce in the first game of the Round and the 2nd at Bounce in the next game of the round
For Round 1 1st Lockout will be bounce of Crows Essendon Friday 22nd March and 2nd Lockout bounce of Carlton Richmond Game 28th March. Players from Crows, Bombers, Dockers and Eagles are locked at first lockout and can not be changed at 2nd lock out.
For Round 5 1st Lockout will be at Bounce Bombers Pies Games 25th April and 2nd Lockout bounce of Tigers Dockers game 26th April. Bombers/Pies players will be locked at Lockout 1.
For Round 14 1st Lockout will be at Bounce Eagles Bombers game 27th June and 2nd Lockout bounce of Swans Blues Games 28th June with Eagles and Bombers players locked at 1st lockout.
Captains and Vice Captains are required to be named before Ist Lock out and can not be changed.
When modifying teams in Partial lock outs you will be required to advise changes,
Regarding the 20 Bonus points it will apply if you modify your team lodgement with scores for the round. Any cheating will involve a reprimand. Bear in mind I have powers as moderator.
Are we just going to use the one thread for team listing all year? If so do you want us not to post anything else in them to not clutter it up for you?
Will be starting a separate thread each week. Just for ease of monitoring.

Suckling has been placed on the LTI list and James Magner has been elevated but i also have Nick Riewoldt, Kurt Tippett, Mitch Clark, Nathan Bock, Rhys Stanley all under injury clouds or suspended
just Kerr and Didak for me hoping Rioli is right
Hey guys, had an idea. If people want to work out their scores each week easily, just make a Sportal team with your best XV in it and get their scores as games finish. This would make it easier for everyone to get scores and easier for you to get the 20 points bonus. Also, I'm sure it doesn't really matter that you have a second team because you don't really have a chance of winning any prizes.
Ringo, how does this 20 point bonus work? Work out your score before sunday night? What about monday games?

To clarify the 20 points.
At the moment the rule is Scores updated in the Lodgement thread by midnight on the day of final game of Round eg Round 1 will be midnight Monday night,
Have had a couple of PM's from some people who due to commitments can not meet the deadline so thinking of making it 10:00am day after, Reason for this is wanting to be fair to all. Please post thoughts on this or PM me.
Will mean weekly results will not be updated till afternoon will add to the suspense.

Where will we get the scores? I don't think Sportal show them until the round has updated.
I am lead to believe that Sportal update after each match - Did not do last year so can not confirm.
Even if they only update after round you will still have time to update.
Yes game by game. 100% Certain
It is indeed game by game and now it is also live scoring. This is huge for Sportal.

Can we have some discussion on rising Criteria on Rising Star Nominations:
Do we follow the AFL Rules under 21 and played less than 10 games of AFL. eg Clay Beams would be eligible because he has only played 8 AFL games.
Do we start our own rules and make it debut players under 21 this year.
Or do we change the award from Rising Star to Best inaugural year performance. Realise this brings in some mature age players.
Just throwing it out there for discussion prior to sending out with vote for new coach of the Hoods
I like the idea of our own rules hhaa. But the normal way is probably the best.

World rules is highest scoring player eligible under AFL rules that actually played that week :)
Made this (http://i.imgur.com/mkqiR4m.png) logo for BXV Ringo. Don't need to use it - got bored.

Looks awesome Ax :o

Can we have some discussion on rising Criteria on Rising Star Nominations:
Do we follow the AFL Rules under 21 and played less than 10 games of AFL. eg Clay Beams would be eligible because he has only played 8 AFL games.
Do we start our own rules and make it debut players under 21 this year.
Or do we change the award from Rising Star to Best inaugural year performance. Realise this brings in some mature age players.
Just throwing it out there for discussion prior to sending out with vote for new coach of the Hoods
I reckon opening it up for best player in the first year will probably be covered by the inaugural MVP.
Maybe just best player under 21?

You are playing the Giants, so you'll probably still win lol :(
Matt Jones turning out to be a huge steal took him with pick 63 i think
Considering he's 25yo and most of the other draftees were 18yo or around 18...
I don't think it's that much of a steal.

Voting for updates following Monday night games has been completed and the overwhelming choice of coaches was to extend the deadline till 9:00pm on Tuesday Night to gain the 20 Bonus points.
Rules have been updated to record exceptions and will apply to Round 10 when we have a Monday Night game as well.
Nice work Ringo
Do we have to do votes for co-coaches? Like Worlds?
Quote from: whatlez on May 28, 2013, 09:19:41 AM
Do we have to do votes for co-coaches? Like Worlds?
am pretty sure we do
To clarify Lez -
We vote to accept co-coaches as per rules as this involves a change of coaches albeit adding a co coach (Remember we voted to accept nrich102 as my co coach at Breakers.)
We do not vote on assistant coaches appointed,
Never voted for Jay to be co-coach? ???

He was but then go relegated back to assistant lol pre to the season starting
don't think anyone was told jay was you co-coach Lez hence no vote lol
Ringo knew... Well at the time....
We didnt recognise him as one :P
This week we see our only split Round for the year -
Scores for Brisbane, Freemantle, Hawthorn, Port Adelaide, Richmond and Western Bulldogs Players will be added in Round 12.
With having to name team by Friday there is a possibility that there may be more outs from these clubs in Round 12.
Bit difficult to have a rolling lockout with 12 clubs already played so putting this out there for discussion.
Possible change For this week only we list 5 emergencies to cover balance of Round.
Other Alternative is to allow interchange within the 6 clubs but may be messy hence the above suggestion.
Thoughts and any other ideas.
How about we just name 15 players from any position I dunno lol

would have thought we would name our players available for round 11 and then they are locked, and before round 12 we name our round 12 players.
normal partial lockout rules. simple and in line with normal fantasy rules ?
sure we will not know how many round 12 players we will have playing, but we will be able to name extra round 11 players to be sure we can field a full team.
Understand that Colli - But just trying to think of the easiest way to administer -
Would mean trying to forecast your Round 12 players and may leave you short.
Will see how discussion goes and put a vote out.

that would be the easy way to administer wouldn't it? and too bad for us if we get greedy or make bad calls and don't have enough players from the round 12 games to field?
think it is pretty fair and easy the way you have done it, in AXVS the teams have to play every bye round :)
5 emergencies worked pretty well for Worlds last year
Rolling lock out is difficult (as Ringo said) with 12 teams one week, 6 the other.

Rolling lock out is difficult (as Ringo said) with 12 teams one week, 6 the other.
so you are suggesting no partial lockout, just name the team from both rounds ahead of round 11 and have 5 emergencies?
when we have a partial lockout for a round with split weeks it makes me wonder why we wouldnt for a round played over 2 rounds during the byes.....
still I don't mind, the added emergencies works too i guess.... might even make it safer/easier for teams...
The difference being that the split rounds are generally 1 or 2 games one week, the rest the next. It gives you a lot of flexibility.
This though you have 12 teams up front, and if you have a late change or withdrawal, it will be only blind luck if you can actually do anything about it (if you have 3 defenders play week 1, and the other defender in week 2 doesn't play, there's every chance the defender you would to replace them would have played week 1. The emergency system would work better imo
Thinking these 2 options to put to vote:
Option 1:
We treat as a partial lock out
Name full teams by Friday
Players playing week 1 locked
Players playing week 2 are not locked till the Friday Bounce final lock out allowing changes amongst these teams only including emergencies
3 emergencies to be named.
Option 2:
Name Teams on Friday Week one
5 emergencies named with no penalties for using out of position.
Any other suggestions or comments.
Saad an entire game without a kick. >:(
Murphy :'( :'( :'(
This is what I don't like. Kilfluff got his 120+ last week... And this week Murphy's scores under 30 and he doesn't pay the price. I just don't like how it's been set up for bye rounds. With 40 on a list week should of just played the players we got.

There's nothing wrong with it, it's similar to the old split rounds just you have more games in week 1 and discount some in week 2.

Yea not really a fan either, if they play two games you should get their average. And if a players team plays the first round but isnt named and then gets named the following round you should be able to play them too.
Not really fair to get TWO games from a player...
That'd be unfair to players who have those lots of players in the bye rounds. Say you're playing a team who has hardly any bye players but his players don't get selected rd 11 but do in rd 12
That's unfair as he has two chances to have his players named but you only have 1.
Ringo these rules were explained very well... And I find it silly... You should of been told to pick the week. Well he would get Murphy's score... but either average or pick the week. Not the first week.
I don't see what's wrong with it? It should always be the first week, it's the same as Worlds really.
It's just like a split round you get the players who play the first week and their 2nd game doesn't exist
It's unfair if you can just pick weeks and stuff it's an unfair advantage over teams who don't get that. Get the flower over it.
Bit late to be complaining about the rules now ::)
Bear in mind I took over the Admin role part way through. This was the rule that was set and i just followed.
At the conclusion of the comp I will be starting a thread for discussion and review of this year. Would welcome comment from you all as waht worked, what did not work, what was an issue and what can be improved. Not saying all suggestions will be implemented but need to ensure that we maintain this comp as strong as possible.

so what is the rule - the players who played last week we named got last weeks score and this weeks doesnt count for them - even if they didnt play last week ?
thats what i thought it was, but if thats not right please let me know .
That is correct Collie - Only players from the 6 bye teams can be interchanged this week.
Zorko and Fyfe need to LIFT >:(

Don't get your issue whatlez. This is the fairest way by far, otherwise its just luck depending what team your players play for.
So finally back to normal without byes!!

We don't really have much to offer, but we would dearly love a forward if anyone wants to trade one to us. :(

Lewis, Rioli, Cox, Schulz, Westhoff, Tarrant, Hansen
Hansen and Ben Reid might be D/F next year

Would give up one of my you g mids for Zorko if your interested Colli
we will see what i need, my fear is roughead becomes a FWD only and the only ruckman i will own is majak daw.
to get a gun ruckman i might need to pay for one (zorko).
i have over 10 players in their 1st or 2nd season all top 10 draft picks so think i am ok for the future, it is the now i am worried about.
have been lucky very lucky to go so well this season, still don't think my team will stack up against the best come finals time, but we will see.
Zorko being a ball winning contested player is PERFECT for this competition, but Voss is just wasting him. and with the Lions midfield depth i can't see him getting much time in there any time soon.
maybe he replaces black and he and moloney can be the inside mids.
but i think moloney and redden more like it, might have to consult my resident Lions expert RinGo
I got Nicholls, Fitzpatrick and Minson. So we could figure something out ;)

My opinion, With the emergence of Mayes as well I think it may be difficult for Zorko to return to a mid role. I can see him developing as a small forward though and this may increase his scoring. Great combo Zorko and Green keeping forward pressure on. Zorko just needs to learn to make his tackles stick and this will come.

I have all data in a spreadsheet which I can send you - Only issue is I do not have when coaches finalised and new coaches took over but may be able to work out roughly for you from the various threads, Just PM me with the email address and I will attach as spreadsheet is quite large

Sorry KB in both the Rookie Draft and National Draft Team finishing last has first pick in both as per the rules as they stand so you will have pick 16 in Rookie Draft,

Appreciate what Noz has done here and he is doing for the right reasons. Am happy for Vinny to work with Noz to take over Owls if both are in agreement although as per rules will have to go to the vote.
The 2013 Robin Hood tournament champions the Oxford Owls are officially coach less after Noz has retired from the British competition.
Hundreds and thousands of Oxfordians have poured into tears after hearing the news. What he has done for the club and the comp the Queen has officially knighted Noz.
Sir Noz you will be missed in England you are welcome back anytime stated the Queen.
The players and staff of the Oxford Owls are officially on strike and refusing to play footy again and many are calling for retirement. Ashton Hams, Adam Selwood and Aaron Davey have called it quits refusing to play footy again after hearing the news, Ahmed Saad has started that only illegal substances will cure the pain the club has suffering.
The club is suffering desperately from what scientists are calling Sir Noz Withdrawls.

Have not received anything official from him and as far as i am concerned he is still coach of the Hoods until I receive something formally which I doubt given he is still posting in thread.
Cool wasnt sure

Hey Ringo have a question mate
I have 3 guys currently on my rookie list and want to keep them all however will prob want to use two picks in the rookie draft so question is can players drafted in the Rookie draft be put on the Senior list straight away? or will i have to promote 1 or 2 of the rookies i want to keep to the senior list in the NAT draft? to be able to use 2 picks in the rookie draft?
As the rules stand at the moment If you want to use 2 picks in the rookie draft you will either have to delist another rookie or promote one to your Senior list using a National draft pick.
This is one rule that I am looking at for next year but at the moment do not know how to improve it. Please feel free to offer suggestions on this in the 2013 Review thread,
One improvement that I remember from Worlds was that when you skipped a pick in the NAT draft, it would then go to the rookie draft. By being able to do that, I'd have some more options. Currently I have Tunbridge and three vacancies. I can't upgrade tunbridge otherwise I'd be one short and I can't trade away a rookie pick and pick up someone and then pass one of my NAT draft picks to use for my rookie list.

Just to explain PB based on current rules you still have the option to upgrade Turnbridge to your senior list using a national Draft pick. Whilst there is only 3 rounds for rookie draft there will be a supplementary round with order to be determined by administrator for a 4th pick to complete rookie lists for teams that do not have 4 rookies listed.
Trust that explains for you.
hmmm, ok, that sounds good. :)

Where can you guys see Owls finishing?
We have picks #7 & #9 remember.
Because two first year players are really gonna help your ladder position. ::)
:(
At #7 & #9 this year in the actual draft were Vlastuin and Wines.
In BXV draft: Grundy and Stringer.
They would help any teams ladder position.
(Okay sorry, no more Ringo.)
To be fair though, I'd be slightly worried if they were in your best XV.
Why? They are top picks for a reason.
Yeah but depends who pick with them and which clubs the players are at some rookies are AFL ready but many are not I wouldn't be relying on them to be in your best XV in there first year just look at O'Rourke in my team pick 3 in AFL not done anything yet
Yeah I know mate. We aren't relying on them to be in our XV. We have other players to play. I mean 7 and 9 can effect our position on the ladder. If they kill it, we play them. Obviously we gotta pick well first though.
Ollie Wines was in my Asisn team for most of last season and Mayes was a starter in my British team. He was pretty much my #1 forward.
So Nigey your comments suck

Wines was considered AFL ready though before he got drafted
only 3 or 4 of last years top 20 in the AFL NAT draft had decent first years Wines, Mayes, Vlastuin and maybe Whitfield the rest you would be worried if they were in your best XV
Yeah but you would think with two top picks I could get a good player or two that will help our ladder position.

Top 8 teams wont be relying on draft picks ;)
Haha I just asked the question where people think we will finish.. :(
We finished 12th in 2013 and our players like O'Mears, Wines, Mitchell, Mayes, Tex, Welly and Talla can only improve.
Top 8 a chance? :-[

Well Omeara, Wines, Mitchell and Mayes are quite likely to not improve, second year blues very possible. But Owls could be around the mark i guess, if things go your way.
Hmm yeah maybe, I can't see O'Meara spudding straight up but anything is possible I guess. Oh well, we aren't really looking at a flag for a couple years so just need our youth to continue improving. :)
fair bit depends on injuries you or other teams receive
Yeah truee!
i mean there was only 2 or 3 games separating the entire top 8 competition is pretty close
Wont be anywhere near as close next year ;)

Hedgehogs finished very well easily could have taken home the flag.
interesting season ahead, lots of teams improved, lots of young teams will improve, and well we have converted Ablett and Cox to the dark side...
still could use one or two more improvements at Winchester , few movements left....

I'm probably going to cop criticism for this approach, but the way I see it, each week 22 players from 18 AFL clubs play, so with 18 BXV's clubs, we should each have 22 players. Now the team I have posted above, is what you get if you take my starting 15 out. And I think most can see, those players will be getting a game nearly every week.
So yeah, make of that what you want, it'll be interesting to see how I fare next year because of this strategy. :) One thing I want to get onto doing is seeing how many players each team used this year.

I would like one if you can be stuffed Nigey :)
I can't create my own designs, but they have about 12 different preset guernsey styles, I can choose the one closest to what you've described, or I can do multiple ones and you can pick. Unfortunately, I don't know how to change the number, so it'll have to be the default 11. I should be able to get the sponsor on the back though. I'll chuck you a PM when I have them done. 8)

Macrae , lonergan, ross, I WILL
Robbie Gray not so much.
it is the opposite to the AFL, XVS is funny like that, example heath shaw is worth LESS in the AFL than taylor adams, but here we are so short sighted that any premium is viewed as worth multiple young stars.
I don't regret it, if i can draft well with my picks this season and the youth i have left kick on i will still be in good shape for the future but getting ablett has me in the window for back to back flags.
i would like 3 in a row i think :)
no regrets but it was a very one sided trade, but i knew that going into it and think based on the way XVS are Ringo made the right call on ruling on it.
think one day down the track the balance in XVS may shift to a more long term view in line with the AFL, but i guess we don't all view the XVS as long term, forever yet as AFL clubs view trades they make.
Yeah that's a good point.
You are a good shot at the flag but its Badgers 2014 I reckon.
I reckon XV's is long term :P
Agree with the difference in perspective in XV compared to the actual AFL.
Hawks 2014!
Badgers Smadgers, last one of them critters we saw got all eat up !
but yeah there will be some serious competition this season, and the draft to go and for some anotehr trade window.
i need a better fwd line, so i just traded dawes out ::)
might regret that one too, but fingers crossed cox stays fit and rough i play fwd all sesaon.
my depth is my Achilles heel if i play the best 15 all season im in good shape, its when a few miss at once i get exposed same as last season.
i got a bit lucky last season, when i had a bad week my opponent had a worse week :) badgers twice :)
The badgers will come back bigger and stronger in 2014, the boys have never had a preseason with coaching guru/prodigy spectacles at the club.

he's averaging the same as the Cannon! And only 3 months older!
not the best out there but not the worst either and if the price is right i could part with
Sam Fisher
Kyle Hardhingham
Adam Kennedy
Mark Whiley
Tom Young
I know but it's not like you would take Pick 25 for him. :P

I'm probably going to cop criticism for this approach, but the way I see it, each week 22 players from 18 AFL clubs play, so with 18 BXV's clubs, we should each have 22 players. Now the team I have posted above, is what you get if you take my starting 15 out. And I think most can see, those players will be getting a game nearly every week.
So yeah, make of that what you want, it'll be interesting to see how I fare next year because of this strategy. :) One thing I want to get onto doing is seeing how many players each team used this year.
Gregory Broughton, Brodie Smith, Scott McMahon, Nick Maxwell
Tendai Mzungu (C), Dominec Cassisi, Andrew Boston, Brad McKenzie
Tom Nicholls
Alex Fasolo, Shaun Higgins, Tom J. Lynch, Jesse White
Seb Tape, James Gwilt
Emg: Alan Toovey, Liam McBean, Steven May
You jealous?
I think I have the JS slightly but yeah I still am. :P
had a go at my reserves team
Backs - Lester, Pears, McDonald, Sierakowsk
mids- Raines, Sutcliffe, Caddy, M Jones
Ruck - Bellchambers
fwds - Dawes, Rohan, Tarrant, Sumner
don't really have utility spots lol but with like 35 players on my list it's not bad

Yeah the new recruits really need to knuckle down.
So if 3 teams own about 90 of the 396 first 22 players, then the other 15 teams average 20.4 players each, and I'm sure there's some others with about 23-25 playing players.

Hmm getting paranoid one or both of my trades are gonna get rejected
reckon Ringo would be pretty bored without me lol
don't know what he'll do next season as i don't expect to be trading much very happy with the team now
I doubt they will get rejected. The lamb one is decent I spose and the Dawes one should be right.

yeah that was posted a couple days ago lol and Ringo was quick onto the Lamb one
have to assume Lamb was promised more game time at GWS
Oh shower I just read both messages haha. My bad
Looking for a forward. Not many easy ones to find.
Got mids of backs to trade. Thanks
Bugger, North have delisted Sierakowski and Mabon
that's 2 more spots i have to fill in the draft lol
I lost Kennedy :(
http://www.bordermail.com.au/story/1880169/howlongs-anthony-miles-cut-down-by-giants/?cs=10
bloody hell when will it end for us i think he might get picked up though
Yeah, delisted free agency has just started. Keeping my fingers crossed that the Tiges announce they're picking up Matt Thomas one of these days... I'm fairly sure it's gonna happen.

Cmon Joel - The Bunnies still want you!!
Just letting you know I will be in NZ till 20th November so be patient as I will be relying on Hotel/Motel Free Wi Fi access to log on.
Hoping then to get all sorted for National Draft.
Have a blast mate!
have fun Ringo
just about two weeks until the draft ;D
Enjoy Ringo! :)
Thought I'd do one of these for the Oxford Owls.
Michael Talia (84) Sam Docherty (64) Sean Dempster (71) Troy Chaplin. (67)
Jack Steven (270), Jaeger O'Meara (110) Tom Mitchell (112) Oliver Wines (94)
Hamish McIntosh (102)
Jeff Garlett (82) Taylor Walker (100) Sharrod Wellingham (96) Sam Mayes (86)
Mitch Duncan (101) Scott Thompson (123)
=1562 :)
Pretty happy with that considering all should improve except maybe Scott Thompson. All super young too except Scott Thompson and pretty much all but 2 of Dochertys games are sub effected except like 2 where he scored 128 and 80 something. Tex Walker and Hamish Mcintosh's scores are from their 2012 SC averages, thought that was fair enough.

Hi all!
Announcing that memphis will be my assistant coach (and will be organising some trades on my behalf - sorry for all who have asked for trades recently, have been swamped).
I would like to request to Ringo that memphis be made my co-coach also...

Hey all, just wanna give a heads up that I'll be down in Lorne from the 19th to the 22nd (coming back on the 22nd though), possibly without internet connection. Might try to steal some WiFi though. Not sure what date the draft is starting - 22nd or 23rd, if it's the former, I'll make sure somebody can pick for Liverpool. If it's the latter, I'll be here. :)

Pretty sure our draft starts at 8pm on the 22nd

I'll be home by then so it should be fine.
Although, I still haven't actually decided who I'll pick yet. The AFL Draft itself on the 21st will probably influence my decision though.
I'm pretty interested to see who you take intrigued really
Thought you would have decided already nearly messaged you several times to ask who you're taking
Nah, still undecided. I have an idea of who I'd like, but I wanna watch how the AFL Draft unfolds first. ;)

Hi all!
Announcing that memphis will be my assistant coach (and will be organising some trades on my behalf - sorry for all who have asked for trades recently, have been swamped).
I would like to request to Ringo that memphis be made my co-coach also...
Oz
Happy to be on board. Now have a finger in every XVs pie :D
As Ossie said if you're interested in doing any trades please let me know. Happy to look at offers already sent to him if you want to re-send them to me.
We think our team could be in contention next season so with that in mind are looking to pick up another gun mid or two and another good forward.
Players like Harwood, Davis, Bell, Kerridge, Seedsman, Hooker, Edwards and perhaps Warnock could be on the table for the right deal - in fact anything that helps us improve our team will be looked at.
PS - please mention it's British you're talking about when sending trade offers to avoid confusion.
i'm bored nothing going on

interesting to look at last years draft http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,69548.0.html
Hmmm yes! Wish the draft was that deep this year. Our picks are 7 then like 47,69,79 or something.
Pick 57, Mark Hutchings.
Averaged 120+, what a steal!
i think the draft not being deep is being exaggerated a bit really it cant be that bad
Next years is meant to be a gold mine and stronger than last years! :D
Tom Nicholls round 38 :P
Is there a list anywhere of the players that weren't selected in any draft and aren't on any teams BXV list for like the rookie draft?

in the NAT Draft thread i think
Most of those guys were selected in the Rookie draft though I think.

Unallocated Players (includes players de-listed from Xv's teams.
well that's what it says
You are correct In trhe draft thread I am listing players delisted and also about 10 players who were not taken in last years draft. List not up to date with any delistinbgs sice I have been in NZ.
All trades approved, cheers Ringo! :)
I haven't talked to speck about it, but can I nominate to be officially co-coaches? Or is this already the case?

it's only you on the team list thread so i dunno

specky going to be a co-coach ?
congrats specky you can have my vote. but you must be forewarned werewolves do like to snack on badgers from time to time..
Matt Thomas picked up by the Tigers!
Good thing I kept him. :D

Just read this after asking in the thread myself lol
Draft will commence ASAP after Rookie/PSD Draft on 27th November or at conclussion of National Draft whichever is the later,
Yeah - i was just coming back to delete after I read that too!!
Whats taking so long? Only like 4 guys left.....

We know who we're picking, assuming the Hoods don't take him.
Yeah waiting on FOOTBALL FACTORY I sent him a pm last night but not been on
Reckon we should just start the rookie draft now lol
One of my best mates brother got picked up and I know him quit well and saw him recently, so guys let him slide to me :P
Actually flower I don't get a pick I don't think... Can I skip my Nat pick from last night? lol.
Since FF hasn't picked... Can I pass if everyone is on board in letting me get this guy?

Lez you will have one pick available in rookie draft - Hope to sort out rookie draft order in the next couple of hours or so.
Okay I'll get my players then 8)
Just let me get me friend :P
Spoiler, he got recruited from the same club Aliir Aliir got recruited from.
Is he the Aspley Player or Mt Gravatt one assuming that is who you want.
Quote from: whatlez on November 27, 2013, 12:36:47 PM

Pretty in the AFL there's no underhand "We'll pass on this pick if you don't take this guy in the rookie draft" so no. But, if he's not well known chances are you'll get him.
There's even less players in the AFL rookie draft I know much about so our two picks will either be from the well-known guys or a speculative choice.
I believe you are able to change your pick though if the next guy hasn't taken their pick yet?

Yeah I'm joking, but he went high in the rookie draft so he will go relatively early. And my pick is third round.. :( Nah I don't mind.

Thoughts on not nominating 4 rookies till close of 2nd trade period. Think this is the way to go.
This will be time line if you agree (No need for vote imo just comment).
2nd Trade Period opens after conclusion of draft
2nd Trade Period closes Sunday 9th February
Rookies to be nominated by close of business Tuesday 11th February
NBA Pre Season First Match 12th February.
Limits on List movements to apply - Refer to trade thread op for movements used.
yeah sounds good no need to name rookies right away
Sounds goooood.

but i do think they should be nominated before the first preseason game or teams with players playing in it have an advantage
how that's an advantage man? It's better drafting.
Quote from: vinny on November 29, 2013, 08:33:27 PM

because they might get a look at there players and others don't
oh so you mean the first game, okay.
but is there even a NAB cup this year?
yeah i mean if rookies are to be nominated after one games been played teams with players in those game get an advantage better to just have to nominate before the first game

so nab cup or not?
yeah i reckon rookies nominated by kickoff of the first game on the 10th Nov
hahaha I mean is there a nab cup even happening.

http://www.afl.com.au/fixture/nab-challenge
btw Ringo it says first game on the 12th
hahaha wow wtf
did you notice the dates like 1 game every day
yeah it's weird, so no finals or anything?
Quote from: vinny on November 29, 2013, 08:49:28 PM

not sure i don't think so but pretty sure they are doing that all star game or something instead
My Bad guys Team Nominations of Rookies will be prior to first pre-season game which is 12th February.
going to be interesting after next season regarding delistings i probably only expect to be delisting a handful or less better then 10 this season lol hopefully our non allocated player list starts to grow
Yeah, I don't think I'll have to get rid of a quarter next season. :P
At least I hope not anyway.
The aim is to get the list to a point where I can choose to delist spuds rather than AFL delisted players. :P

Yep exactly! How good would that be, but still it's fun doing all of this and trying to improve steadily, hahaha.
If tooserious is correct Tom Mitchell, Caddy and Belly all Fwds omg
If Mitchell gets DPP, fucccck.
That's only one year and it wouldn't make a difference for you Vinny.
Mayes keeps DPP

Yeah I guess that's true, he will lose it eventually if these lists are correct. But I doubt it!
i'm not getting to excited about Titchell yet lol
A lot of these changes look to be friendly towards my BXVs team.
Thought Harley Bennell might have gotten DPP though. :(
if it's legit
Suckling, Atley, Hansen, Clisby/Lester
Murphy, Lewis, Crouch, Ziebell
Clarke
T Mitchell, Belly, Caddy, Hall
Zaharakis, M Jones
Lester should be a forward.

Not that impressive tbh.
If M.Jones is a starter then you have a poor side
Suckling and Lewis are prob the only guys that wont improve though
I think the Bombers vs Owls game will be interesting. Lot will come down to whether my younger ones have second year blues and what not. Hope we play after Swallow and Tex return cause until then Az Black and Dylan Shiel may have to play.

That team is so young. A ton of upside.
M.Jones fell away later in the season but averaged 100 up until round 16. Thats decent for U2 and not bad considering he plays for the worst team in the comp. Under Roos he will improve.

I was telling you my U2 compared to his.
gibbs just became our U2 - spud better lift or he will sit the season out on the bench now he is not a defender.
actually he probably will because both melksham and cunnington should outscore him in this comp.
looks like gibbs at my mid emergency.

... Cool?
You rate yourself as premiership favourite yet you compare yourself to an extremely young, rebuilding side. Ok.
but what's your U2 got anything to do with mine?
Matt Jones should get better with another pre season and a decent coach
haha banter
for hat its worth matt jones is perfect for british, and should not get tagged and suffer second year blues as he is far from the flashy outside type that gets tagged after a good first season.
reckon he is good for a 100 avg with full games not huge for british but far from unserviceable for your U2.
I don't wanna brag or anything, but Liverpool's U2 is Dennis Armfield.

Well fellas, our U2 is the worst that you see out of Steven, Jeager, Wellingham, Swallow, Wines, Thompson, Duncan, Shiel. Take your pick ;)
Jones is a solid player will have to earn his spot in the 22 but he is a handy player.

You'd hope not. U2 is often one of the worst positions on a persons team sheet. One of the lesser players from a rebuilding side doesn't start for you? No flowering shower dude :P
I think mine is Goddard, assuming he's lost his Defender status. :(
What's torp's situation in keeping his British side?
