Am I the only one who can no longer access his sportsbet team? wtf?
i just logged into mine to copy the scoring onto the rules thread.
I even created a new account and team last week to check for some other coaches that were having trouble creating an account / team.
As of last week you could still log in sign up and create a team.
As of 5 minutes ago existing members (me) can log in access team as normal.
I would email them through the site, must be a glitch / issue with just you :(
is 2483 a good score :P :o ;D
I'm not aware of the scoring system?
Would people say it's more like DT?
Like effectiveness of disposal doesn't count does it?

exactly just like DT but more points for some actions, points are listed in HOME thread under Rules Book.

But I'll adjust. Thanks Colli :)
Is there anywhere that has previous years player scoring?

How? I couldn't find it :(
you go to sportsbet.com.au
log in at top right
scroll down on far right there is a list called "more promotions" select the last option "all promotions"
the new page has 8 tabs accross the top, select "free competitions"
the new page has those same tabs and brings up pictures below, the picture right below the "free competitions" tab is "fantasy leagues"
select that.
a different page opens, on this page you have AFL or NFL - select AFL!
Your done!
Everyone please take a minute when you get a chance and read over the rules book and PM me anything you think is missing, needs to be added (as in clarified) or anything you believe to be an error.
thanks.

hey guys what happened to this
funny how we forget lets use this one eh?
Yeah, let's use this one.
so then it's on? ??? :( :) ;D :o 8) :P
nothing is on we need to decide when to start, the first round will be relaxed rules for 7 days or the first full round of picks whichever comes first.
just need to sort out the day we start picking now.
why is no one using this "discussion" thread and clogging up the draft thread witch hasn't started?
bumpity bump Let's TRY to use this thread. :)
I'm liking Buddy, Roughy, Grimes as the big Dong's, need some good recruits to help them out if they are start to fail. Thankfully they aren't a very old lot so they should power on for many years. ;D
I'm slightly jelly of the Watson/Boyd duo, will be interesting to see who they recruit next.
i like your strategy which is obvious now, it will work. Hard not to be jelly of those mids.
but the next two picks being smart will make or break your team, looking good so far tho, nailed those last two picks, i got roughy in british and might have gone him last pick if you hadn't.
goal kicking ruckmen = gold + hawks = biggest scoring fantasy team.
Yeah, our next two will be interesting, though who's to say they will be straight forward, we may try somthing a little left field. :-X Those players don't really look like captain options though, and if Buddy goes down then it'll be interesting.
I think you're in the box seat Colli, picks 1-3 were all pretty even and you got the reverse quicker than us, so should be in for a strong team.
Before this draft i looked into the Worlds comp, and the sides that made finals there. And yes, maybe i'll be denting some people's confidence here, but the people that had pick 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 all made finals, but Maca made the GF from a low pick, so not all is lost. Whilst in Euros nostra is in the finals, and he had pick 1. :-X The way you've balanced things out here may solve that problem.
Had a crap pick in worlds but got some bargains in draft as well as trading well for short term glory. :)
Wish we could just fast forward 12 months so PB and I would be about to win the Grand Final for Asians...

Hence Jack being picked before Redden ::) But Redden is 22 whereas, Jack is 26. Improvement in Redden, but Jack will decline... But hopefully he doesn't for my Euro team :-\
Edit: He actually 25... so yeah he is alright :)
Edit x2: Redden is only 21 at the moment :)

two flowering ridiculous statements there.
1. NO, Rockliff does not suck. Very young, in an improving team, should be dpp next year. Cant wait to see this comment in a year or 2 :)
2. flower off, Walker is not better than Franklin. Your high mate

Walker is very close to being better than Buddy
walker hasnt kicked 100+ goals in a season
walker hasnt kicked 10+ goals in a game
walker hasnt won the Coleman Medal
walker isnt a premiership player
ETC. ETC.
im a big crows fan but think its delusional to think walker is better then buddy atm. maybe in 2015 but he has along way to go to get close to buddy ;) and walkers a big sook :P
Lol you guys take this so seriously ::)
And it's not crack ;) guess again.
lol
Stevie j is better than tex walker
steveJ pffffffffffffffft was never as good as Taylor at his age 22, how is he a sook and cry baby? :-\ see his game last week? the boy from Broken Hill has arrived and will challenge Buddy 3 strike Franklin next year ;D
Yeh but hawkins will b better than both ;D
not sure we should be talking about players un drafted in thread either :-\ Not when your talking about a guy who is going to better when he isnt picked yet 8)
Unnamed players??

Not the draft thread, just one of the reaosns why i asked to change the discussion over to here. :-\ I think it's ok..... :-\
Yeh I agree no talk about undrafted players in any Asian threads.
Well he's picked now so i guess it's ok :P
I was more talking about the other one....

Interesting choice with Birchall, there are a few others i'd pick ahead of him. :-X Also i think he's a spud, but anyway. :P
ok, nobody take my next player ok!!! >:( >:( :-X
I was going take Birchall... :-X

may be bias, but i feel he is a great choice as no.1 ruck. I too was at showdown that night. wow
blah, if i was already in a bad mood with you lez, taking JRoo hasn't helped. :P
Birchall was an absolute steal at that pick.
Lez obviously trolling the lot of you with the Walker/Buddy talk ;)

if it helps i had to twist his arm to get Jroo. Its probably more Mecvoy, Jacobs and Birchall all went right before his pick.
Watch out Lao looking deadly.
so buddy wasn't a terrible pick #1 .....
not sure you would have put the C on him vs WCE but scary for your opponent if you had him C this week....

Well he's our number 1 pick, and a very high average, and since i'm expecting 100 goal from him next year, I would be hoping he'd captain most weeks. Though i'd love if someone was to average better than him though. :D

yeah buddy was a good pick there were 3-4 guys worthy of the top spot. Will be interesting to see if you pick some other gun forwards to give you the best forward line.
Im liking Lez's Walker Jroo combo at the moment. will be interesting to see who you guys take next.

what did you think of my highest individual team and player score award CW?
check the thread I have one for each of those for the season, and one for each of those for the highest single round score now.
also added the rising star, highest averaging "first year player".
most improved was suggested but not happening, means i have to check every players starting average against every players end of season average (TOO MUCH WORK).
yeah lol just seen it so deleted my post ;) great work as always CW

On a side note - everyone get your team logo's done! doesn't have to be a piece of art :)
If anyone want me to I can make some for you and PM to see to see what you think if you can't do them yourselves.
Same with guernseys, will take me longer than the logo's but happy to take orders for guernseys for those that think they can't do their own.
PM me with either logo or guernsey requests, with all information relevant such as what words what images what colour schemes, what sponsors, what number, what style ect. ect. for guernseys.

he has a great template for photoshop, not sure if it works on any other programs, but he may know how to do it or have templates for other programs as well.
Thought I might start some banter on the ladder, heres my prediction!
Turkey Gazelles
Mongolian Lambs
Hong Kong Dongs
KL Crocodiles
Vietnam Vipers
Bangladesh Bears
Australian Ales
SL Strikers
Kathmandu Eskimos
PNG Head Hunters
Manila Folders
Bangkok Crabs
Tibetan Llamas
Laos Elephants
Taiwan Dolphins
UAE Tigers
However 4-11 or 12 is very shaky, could go any way, and a lot of the teams that are at the bottom will be up there in years, they just have very youthful squads, same with the ones at the top, but elder squads. :)
I'd be stoked with 4th considering my teams age! :P
:o Think my team is predicted a bit low there. Very solid in all my lines and have an awesome ultra premium perma captain in Swan.

:) Personally BB, lin hindsight, youll make the 8, but theres so many good teams, IMO there will be 13-14 teams wholl be contenders for the 8 this year.
Yes it looks like it will be a very even competition that's for sure. Can't wait for it to start already!!!!!
Pfffft 2nd what a joke :o i'll be 1st lol :P
haha nah good job KK i'll put mine up later :)
Very generous rating for the Vipers :) I'll need a lot of kids to come on strong...
But then again we only start 3 in each line plus a ruck and 2 utilities, so yeah that coupled with the VC scoring makes for a very close competition.
isnt it 4?
Just had a quick look through everyone's teams and there will be some tough competition next yr, some really good teams and i reckon 12-13 teams will be fighting for top 8, and top 4 is anyone's guess.
Quote from: JBs-Hawks on September 18, 2012, 09:47:10 PM

Ha ha yeah it is 4 :) 4+4+4+2+1 = 15 my bad... still think my point is valid
the llamas starting 15
Def: Hanley Duffman Batchelor Jacobs
Mid: Danger Ebert Kelly Wallis
Rck: Hmac
(GC)
Fwd Martin Lynch Milera Matera
Ut: Russell Couch
Emg: S Shaw Z Smith
Spoon^
No Walker...
I agree with KKs ladder prediction :)
I might have the youngest team to ever play AFL, but seriously.. 14th? Add up the averages of this year of every player or are you just going on first look?
Also put into prospective that all my players have not hit prime yet. You heard me ALL.
Why do you call them your players?
Wow the Llamas are going to be real easy beats next year.
The Elephants will be pushing for top 8. Just becuase the players are all young doesnt mean they arent any good.

Quote from: tbagrocks on September 18, 2012, 10:15:33 PM

Kelly is 40. Ebert is a spud. Danger is good and Wallis might be good soon.
wrong :P
Ebert went 134 ave in his first year as a starting midfielder
Kelly went 125+ and is 28
I think when my team got judged, they left out Whitfield ;)
Quote from: tbagrocks on September 18, 2012, 10:15:33 PM

Need 6 strong mids FYI ;)
Watson, Boyd, Sewell, Ball just my starting 4 mids beats your whole team tbag
I'll tank hardout next year, so I can get first pick next year and then win the flag ;)
Fun fact: I have 3 number one picks. (In the last 5 years)
Not sure if anyone can top that.
stoked to be in KK's top 8 considering the youth of my team and pick 3 in the NAT draft :)
Official Trade thread is up, feel free to discuss all things trade there. Trade window will open and run for 2 weeks immediately following the conclusion of the initial draft.

Now why would you bother to trade to have 10 starting quality mids?
beacuse i lost no player from backs, rucks or forwards to get it done ;)
so to get this right, can I trade say Dangerfield for pick 1, so player for pick ???
Quote from: tbagrocks on September 18, 2012, 11:07:00 PM
so to get this right, can I trade say Dangerfield for pick 1, so player for pick ???
Yes as the pick becomes a player. So you both end up with the same (and Correct) list numbers.
Unusual tho possible to ONLY trade one player for one pick, but as long as the numbers be it picks or players are the same on each side of the trade it is fine.
Only players that change teams count as list movements not picks.
So a player for a player is ONE list movement.
A player for a pick is ONE list movement.
A pick for a pick is NO list movements. ( obviously a pick for a pick will only happen where players and or other picks are involved).
example player x + pick x FOR player y + pick y = ONE list movement.
You predicted me to come 3rd?
Surely that's a troll. Anything but 1st will be a failure.
Me coming 14th is a joke. Tbag coming above me? Now KK you must be a shower judge...
don't see what's so wrong with my team, you are all the shower judges :P

Looking at the progress, and the lack thereof of trading in the British 15s, i see no reason to limit the trade windows in Asians to TWO weeks as per the standing rules.
There does need to be a limit as list movements need to be submitted checked and finalized for period #1 prior to the Asians national draft. And for period #2 prior to season start.
It is impossible at this stage to know how long we will have for the first window as it cannot begin until we complete the Initial Draft. but it will be a minimum of two weeks
I am thinking however that trade window #1 can run once open on completion of initial draft up until 3 Days prior to the Asians National Draft, which will be The Day following the AFL national draft.
THE ABOVE APPLIES HOWEVER WITH A MINIMUM TIME OF 2 WEEKS TRADE WINDOW.
NOW, in the event the initial draft is still going once the AFL national draft has been completed, (or inside 2 weeks of the AFL national draft) then the Asian National draft will be pushed back to the following time....
Initial Draft completes - THEN - 2 week trade window - THEN - Asian National Draft.
So this explains how this trade window will operate, more information will follow on the second trade window which immediately follows the Asian Rookie/Preseason draft.
The general idea is that if we finish the Initial draft 3 or 4 weeks before the AFL national draft, then trade window #1 will be longer than the stated 2 weeks.
Any opposition to this or any questions let me know.

I'm so confident about my team (lol), I don't even want a trade period.
If that means I keep walker and redden ;)
The Initial Draft should finish in 2-3 weeks?
Quote from: Adamant on September 19, 2012, 11:16:28 PM
The Initial Draft should finish in 2-3 weeks?
Hard to say....
The National is late November, safe to say we could have as many as 4-7 weeks if we fly through this draft.
Question is - is there any need to limit the trade windows time? Apart from me cutting it off in time to get all the draft picks traded sorted out ahead of the National Draft, as well as updating all team lists. (3 Days maximum).
no need but it looks like people will have secured their trades before the Draft finishes ::)
Quote from: tbagrocks on September 19, 2012, 11:29:28 PM

Yeah that's a joke IMO..
They might think they have "secured" their trades before the draft finishes, but NO trade will be rules upon until it is formally submitted during the trade window.
Anyone is free to discuss negotiate whatever they like in the meantime, but nothing will be assured or approved before the trade window opens and the trades are formally submitted.
I am happy to discuss with ANYONE trade talk as an administrator and a team owner, but as administrator I will not be giving any rulings on ANY trades until the trade window is open and the trades are submitted formally.
I think everyone knows generally what is a fair trade and what is not, so many may consider trades done and dusted, but just keep in mind, NOTHING is done and dusted YET.

Ummm excuse me, but how can I have weak depth? I have the BEST depth and you obviously have not done any research on the selections I have made... If this team was this year, I probably would of come close to last, but because they are all under 25, every single player should improve.

Hahahahahahaa
put your money where your mouth is and tell me what's so funny? ??? noticed your not brave enough to have done one yet ;)
Because it is stupid to do ladder predictions before the season starts. Especially as there are no standouts but I can guarantee you wiki be bottom 3
I can't believe you don't rate the scoring potential of this team.
DEF: Dempsey / Howard / Myers / Smedts or Reid
MID: Beams (C) / SThompson (VC) / Judd / Steven
RUCK: Luenberger
FWD: Robinson / Fasolo / Monfries / Warnock or Nahas
UTILITY: Bartel / Miles or Tyson or Haynes or AKennedy (One will break out big)
A few things to consider =
Howard - 2 Dogs playmakers off half back have retired he is now #1
Myers - Finished last season with a bang, sure to break out rotating through middle
Jack Steven - Star almost Elite will be next season
Fasolo - Still a kid HUGE improvement left in him, MUCH more action next season without Cloke
Bartel - will be DPP and can line up in defence or forward - huge boost to scoring there.
Monfries - Still improving
Warnock - Has to go FWD/RUCK and might be a great scorer under malty, might be worthless too i admit.
Luenberger, clearly one of the elite few rucks in the competition when fit.
Smedts - high draft pick, proven star, came on strong last season will get more opportunities this season with retirements at cattery and will STAR.
Now Look at my youngn's if only one or two of them break out i am laughing have 2 mids, 2 fwds from GWS who have HUGE potential to breakout.
You got me 12th....
I think 10th is about right
Bock / Hartlett / Hibberd / Lake/Bartram/Clarke

I think it is a reflection of the depth of the top 13 teams, very even really, well get used to it but don't get to comfortable because before you know it the mighty llamas will be right amongst it ;)
GET AMONGST THE LLAMAS
For the record I will release Odds, and team rankings next season as soon as the Prospectus is released and I have my hands on a copy.
It gives player rankings for each player and working off that I will be able to rank and rate each team. It is the only FAIR way to do it because otherwise it is open to personal interpretation.
All this will do is provide a way for me to rank teams season to season and it will be good for owners to see how their teams improve in rank through recruiting and player development season to season. Or in Nails case - decrease in rating :)
One thing is for sure, the true player ratings in the prospectus do not take into considerations potential - just pure and simple player level at the time. So I think it is fairly safe to say The Dongs should be rated very highly due to the established list.
The other thing is will do is provide me with a base to work off in creating odds for the matchups for the seasons matches. For our betting thread :)
I am on my phone atm, but a huge prediction will be up.
Dont worry cw i have you moving up a bit, likewise kk and jbhawks.
I will have a stock up and down which will be explained, putting draft picks into prospective, ladder predictions, small comments and various titles that will be given out. If i could be bothered I might give out wins and loses as an estimate, but that might be too hard. I have some betting prices and rating out of 10, but it rates the starting over depth.
So look out at about 4-5pm my time. Big write-out and no complaints. :)
Ill give you a hint where the llamas are ranked. Bottom 2 ;)
I am also happy to grade your team at End of Draft period deconstruct your side. I am on holidays after tonight haha.
I am going on age, past history, end of season form and for this the Elephants will be bias, but with an average age of 22 I assume most players should improve by 5%-10%. E.g David Swallow. He should improve by more than 10%.
If i have poor grammar i am sorry, the phone no auto correct :(
Watch big analysis coming in the short future :)
Good work mate, will wait eagerly as I wait eagerly for eza to pick :)
and the sooner we pick the sooner out trades can go through,

Why would people start trading before drafting is even finished? Doesn't make sense to me.

Because all starters are picked so they can easily be traded, were oonly drafting depth players now
Lack forward depth? Lol
Chapman, Gray, Adams, Krakouer, Siposs, Lester, Sherman, Duncan?
Actually considering Adams and Gray are no certainty to keep there DPP. Duncan may get DPP as well oh dear I am lacking forward depth.....
Shopping list:
- Solid scoring forward(s)
- Premiership
- Milk
- Eggs
- Gun mids 👌
- Top Ruckman 👌
- Good defenders 👌
- Good depth in 3/4 lines 👌
After I pick up a few forwards in the trade market and draft I'll be fine.
I doubt theyll change grays position he hardly played
Okay I got home real early. I am going to apply for job online, but after that I will write up my notes and give you guys my opinion. :)
@whatlez: I like your prediction for David Swallow to improve by 10% ... Seeings he missed half the season (10games) through injury i would think playing a few more games would cover the 10%..?
The problem with you guys doing your ladders is you see good midfielders and go yep, that team is no.1
Despite the fact some forwards average just as well as the best mids :o
e.g. I have Buddy 4th highest average in the comp and Pavlich who is the 15th highest average in the comp. Yet my team isn't rated because my midfielders are only just top 50.
This season was a pretty god example of how things can change through injury as well ;)

Why are we in such a rush though? Surely it wouldn't be wise to trade your players away without having full lists...

Yeah well when I say 10% I mean they will increase their average by a minimum of 10%, so Swallow will add like an extra 10 at least to his average of this year. Probably 20-25% to be more realistic.
Yeh especially if he's proper fit, his avg will go up anyway coz he wont hav injury/sub affected scores

Eskimos $10
Vipers/Crocs $12
Strikers/Bears/Crabs $15

Elephants â€" could push to top 8 if the player improve
Ales â€" also could push for top 8
Crabs â€" should make top 8 comfortably
Stock Down: Meaning, has the potential to fall well below the predictions made

Dolphins â€" most probably be in bottom 4
Hunters â€" same as above
Gazelles â€" Might push outside top 4
Crocs â€" Could easily push outside top 8
Teams that are relying on DPP more than any:
Bears â€" has the potential, but if DPP doesn’t go their way, top 8 doesn’t look a chance
Eskimos â€" If DPP doesn’t go their way then top 4 will be no chance and top 8 might be out of reach too

Strongest Animal: Elephants

Team reviews:
Dongs: 8.5/10 â€" Strong team all round - A little old and the backs are little weak, but will be a heavyweight contender
Folders: 8/10 â€" Solid â€" Again backs are weak and no depth
Gazelles: 7.5/10 â€" Very Old â€" Heaps of Injury worries and a weak forward line
Lambs: 7.5/10 â€" Solid Team â€" D4 is average
Eskimos: 7.5/10 â€" Very weak defender if DPP doesn’t go your way
Crocodiles: 7/10 â€" Have a great starting side, after that not much.
Vipers: 7/10 â€" Young and improving team â€" Great mids â€" Forwards and Backs need help though
Crabs: 7/10 â€" Mixed bag as well â€" Great rucks â€" Good forwards â€" Unique Side
Strikers: 7/10 â€" A older team â€" Mixed bag of players â€" No visible D4 and has some on field spud forwards
Bears: 7/10 â€" Mixed of young and old. DPP will make or break your season though
Elephants: 6.5/10 â€" Young Healthy List â€" No players have hit peak yet â€" Pushing for a 7 rating which could put them in top 8 contention â€" Best Depth
Ales: 6.5/10 â€" Struggling to find a D4 â€" Great mids depth â€" Push up to a 7 like Elephants and top 8 birth
Dolphins: 6/10 â€" Solid, but not outstanding
Hunters: 6/10 â€" Defenders and Forwards are very limited â€" The rest alright
Llamas: 5/10 â€" Not sure what to say here â€" Poor Mids â€" Horrible backs â€" No Tex
Tigers: 4.5/10 â€" Starting is... meh â€" Foley pick 2 â€" Nuff said
This is my opinion. I didn’t put a huge amount of research in some teams and the depth I didn’t look into that much. I mainly looked at starting teams and whether players play consistently.
My average age is 24 not really that old.
Ur predictions r worthless
Not even mentioning teams arnt completed yet
Did i mention u suck balls whatlez, pfft 3rd bottom cant wait to wipe the floor with those elephants!!
Whys my depth so bad? :/
Good effort Whatlez, a lot will change when and if 2nd year players break out of FLOP.
Many 3rd 4th and 5th year players WILL break out, also changing everything.
Certain national draft picks will have BOOM first years and certain will do nothing.
4 list movements (maximum) per team will change a lot also.
Quote from: Maca24 on September 20, 2012, 04:50:45 PM
Whys my depth so bad? :/
probly coz u havn't finished the back end of the draft :P
I have done the numbers for the best 15 of a few teams based on this years averages.
Elephants:
Back 4 average: 86.75 age: 21 years 103 days
Mid 6 average: 111.2 age: 21 years 331 days
Ruck average: 92 age: 24 years 80 days
Fwd 4 average: 106.75 age: 23 years 141 days
score: 1668 age: 22 years 105 days
Monstrum:
Back 4 average: 85.25 age: 23 years 156 days
Mid 6 average: 117.5 age: 22 years 330 days
Ruck average: 93 age: 21 years 358 days
Fwd 4 average: 105.25 age: 23 years 121 days
score: 1695 age: 23 years 35 days
So with that we see mons has a slightly stronger team based on this year. However Clarke as the number 1 ruck is abit worrying and a backup needs to be found.
The mid is the obvious weakness between the two but considering Swallow is down as a 98 when he averaged 120 before getting injured such the possible improvement. It was also Shiel first year so he should lift from his 95.

It's actually not that bad. But probably your biggest flaw. I put you 6th over spudbag's 16th. :)
And this was all on my phone research. If they disagree I will look at your team again Monstrum.
Yes Shiel could, but far more likely he will FLOP like most second year players do. All this rating is fun but goes flying out the window when they bounce the first ball in 2013.

Fair call :) my whole squad is under 25. So should see it improve in 2014
Also Monstrum who's in your defence?
Ibbo, Bugg then who?? Garland maybe? Goldsack and then who? So you have 4 backs and 2 might not be even list as a defender next year. That is the main reason why you were graded so harshly.
garland 22 games: proabably def/fwd nest yr
Bugg 18 games (for GWS) should play all games next yr
Goldsack 21 games: hopefully def/fwd (23 goals avg 1.2 goals a game) <--- 12pts in this comp..
Ibbotson 22 games.
not many games to worry about bench cover... if i had this defence this year i wouldn't have much to worry about pretty durable players..
atm i have gillies on the bench who should see more time next year, also Robbie Tarrant and Khunt are listed as defenders (probly not next yr but maybe)
and the draft isn't over so hopefully pick up some more depth in futre picks
Both have 0 chance of being DPP. Bugg might be mid only. Goldsack should only be forward, but they might give him Fwd/Def, but a medicore scorer at his best. Garland could be Def/Fwd, but same with Goldsack, shower scorer.
Also you have DeBoar as a forward. Not sure on this one. And I didn't even realise you had Whitecross so yeah I think where I have put you is about right.
theres' only a handfull of 100+ avg defenders in the comp anyway .. with 6 mids able to be played and forwards scoring so high in this comp defenders will not matter to much...
u have jack watts as ur #1 defender ur team has alot of upside coz half of them have missed half the season through injury... ???

Gun. and Tmac, me and Holz rate Tmac over Matthew De Boar.
jack watts is a gun... who averages only 5 pts more than Garland who u said is crap.. and played 7 fewer games... oh no he did play a few in the magoos ::)

actually Rance is the number 1 defender. he might not be the best DT player but he does average 92 in this comp.
Whats wrong with pearce, jaensch or stewart at D4? :P
Monstrum in my review I said you lack in Forwards and Defenders. If you get one injury, do you have backup?

This is my opinion. I didn’t put a huge amount of research in some teams and the depth I didn’t look into that much. I mainly looked at starting teams and whether players play consistently.
WHAT THE FLOWER!!!!!!
you think I have one of the oldest teams??? conca, golby, sellar, johnson, schoey, sheppard, jack, rockliff, grigg, scully, W.H-Elliot, hampton, jacobs, jenkins, clark, kennedy, walters, rohan, elliot, lycett, paine......
that is not old ::)no visible D4? i think a backline of Scotland Burgoyne Conca Golby is the best in the comp.
spud forwards? really? Mitch Clark and Josh Kennedy are guns, you cant argue with that. its more than likely that Rockliff becomes a fwd in 2013 also then just have to choose 1 of westhoff, walters, rohan elliot each week and i have a beast forward line.
EDIT* Language modified :)
Hmm i had you higher Jay, but I moved you down :P
I did not see Bourgoyne, but he is old.
You have Clark and Kennedy and assume Rocky isn't.
Westhoff and Walters as forwards? Like I said spuds haha
Oh yeah JB, you sure he will be. If him and Jaesch plays a lot more you will up. I did put you in the stock up, so should beat my expectations.
I think the Bears are getting a little underrated...
DEF: D.Heppell - M.Johnson - C.Enright - B.Reilly (DEF AVG = 107)
MID: J.Selwood - S.Mitchell - S.Tuck - D.Mundy (MID AVG = 130)
RUC: B.McEvoy (RUC AVG = 110)
FWD: N.Fyfe - D.Stanley - N.Riewoldt - B.Harvey (FWD AVG = 119)
UTI: L.Hodge - D.Cross (UTI AVG = 110)
BENCH: DEF: J.Pittard - D.Cassisi (MID) - R.Murphy
MID: B.Moloney - J.Brennan - M.Rischitelli - S.Savage - J.Gysberts
RUC: N.Vardy
FWD: C.Knights (MID) - B.Staker (DEF)
Obviously we have a lot of older guys such as Enright, Mitchell, Tuck, NRoo, Harvey, etc but they should last another 2 years with very solid averages. Also, regarding DPP.....I am trading Fyfe for Stevie J :P
That team is actually rather impressive. But yeah it is old and will go down like 10% next year. That's why you are stock down. Also Harvey out for 6 will hurt. Probably could put you higher up, but cbf anymore :P
I like ur team adamEnt

you will regret that mate!!!
i thought he was older, actually he is still in his 20s (late 20s) but still pumping out good scores and will do for a few more years
Why cant you assume that Rocky is? I think there is a greater chance of him getting DPP than not.
Westhoff - 25y.o forward averaging >100 and in a rapidly improving team. Walters 22y.o forward who has improved dramatically, look for a 95 average from his in 2013.
I presume you have retracted your statement about me having an old side though? crazy talk
I really like Adamants team. Will be a powerhouse....for 2 years then the Strikers will take over :)
Think Adamants team is a little too old and his scoring from the older players will go down a bit next year.

Quoted for truth and so it doesn't get lost on previous page.
LOL get behind the LLAMAS ;D
***UPDATE***
Provided the Initial draft is completed and there has been sufficient time for a minimum trade window of 2 weeks the folling will/must apply;
PRE NATIONAL AXVs DRAFT = All clubs must submit to me their final lists (Senior Only at this stage, no plaers can be on Rookie lists.) The lists must reflect all trades. Clubs must also submit to me their draft picks as they stand after trading.
I will have both these things anyway but it is the DUTY of all CLUBS to do this and submit the lists of players and trades to me for cross checking BEFORE WE CAN START THE NEXT DRAFT.
National Draft for AXVs will take place 1 hour after completion of the AFL National Draft. [ 22nd November 2012 ]
Rookie/Pre-Season Draft for AXVs will take place 1 hour following completion of the AFL Rookie Draft. [ 11th December 2012 ]
A trade window of 4 weeks will be opened immediately following completion of the AXVs Rookie/Pre-season draft.
Following this trade period, ALL Clubs will have 4 weeks to submit to me their final list lodgements.
Final Lists will consist of ;
SENIOR LIST = 40 Players.
(36 Players from the Initial Draft and 4 Players from the National draft.)
ROOKIE LIST = 6 Players.
(1 player from the NATIONAL DRAFT and ALL 5 players from the Rookie/Pre-Season draft.)
* In the event you PASS during the National draft and only pick for example 3 players from this draft ( or if you have traded in players during trade period #1 for your National draft picks), then the following applies.
* The players you trade in for your National draft picks ( up to 4 maximum list movements ) Go on your senior list.
* The players you draft first in the rookie pre-season draft where your Senior list is not FULL go onto your senior list first. Then onto your Rookie list.
THE BASIC RULE OF MAKING UP THE LISTS FOR THIS SEASON ARE THIS: PLAYERS GO ONTO YOUR SENIOR LIST AS PER DRAFTED TO YOUR TEAM OR TRADED TO YOUR TEAM ORDER, SO THE FIRST 40 PLAYERS TO JOIN YOUR LIST GO ON YOUR SENIOR LIST, THE LAST 6 PLAYERS TO JOIN YOUR LIST GO ON YOUR ROOKIE LIST.
Any questions let me know, and remember these dates, as the normal drafting time limits will apply so if you are not around you will be skipped, and potentially sacked if you fail to show up at all or have someone representing your club show up to these drafts. Failing to take part in trade windows is regretable but is also fine, failing to lodge your list after the trade periods will have consequences however so again remember the dates!
Just thought i would make a list of my entire team (or team i have drafted so far) for a guide if you want to enter trade talks with the Gazelles.
Don't bother:
Jobe Watson
Ivan Maric
Heath Shaw
Mitchell Duncan
Shaun Atley
Ben Cunnington
Don't want to trade would need an amazing offer to take one:
Matthew Boyd
Robbie Gray
Luke Ball
Leigh Adams
Brad Sewell
Nathan Grima
Tom Mitchell
Brandon Ellis
Jordan Russell
Sam Fisher
Jonathan Griffin
Cameron Pederson
50/50
Paul Chapman
Arryn Siposs
Andrew Krakouer
Ryan Lester
Justin Sherman
Easton Wood
Aiden Riley
On the trade table:
Dion Prestia
Daniel Kerr
Matthew Shaw
Easton Wood
Draft picks
Want: A solid scoring forward, A forward capable of playing 23 games, A defender capable of playing 23 games
RIVALRIES REQUIRED
The Following Clubs are yet to have a Rival. Try find a Rival ASAP.
1. PNG HEAD HUNTERS - Monstrom
2. AUSTRALIAN ALES - JBs-Hawks
3. KL COROCODILES - Maca24
4. UAE TIGERS - EZA100
I think due to locality the PNG and AUSTRALIA teams make for rivals, but there are any number of reasons for being rivals, doesn't need to have anything to do with reality, location, or politics...
I like siposs and prestia
Keen on draft picks between 10-30 if anyone wants to wheel and deal send me an offer. 1 list movement left.

*** UPDATE***
THE OFFICIAL ASIA XVS 2013 SEASON FIXTURE WILL BE RELEASED TONIGHT.
Will be subject to change regarding any AFL craziness announced in the AFL fixture which we should see mid to late October however I know the framework they have set out for the fixture so what I am releasing should be pretty safe to bank on remaining as it is.
There will be 9 Home games per team, 9 away games per team, 1 rivalry round where every team plays away at a nuetral location ( NO HOME GROUND ADVANTAGE)
This is to a) keep the home and away games at an even 9-9 for every team, and b) to ensure the rivalry games are close fought and the winner has true bragging rights.
Matches will be played accross the bye rounds. I think this is a good test of your teams depth and a good chance for the teams with less stars but more depth to make up some ground.
Plus there are no byes for us in DT,SB,SC ect during the byes so why do it in the ASIANS.
Is there going to be a reserves league?

The KL Crocodiles have decided on a new coaching system, with not 1 but 2 coaches working together in tandem.
Maca24 has hired the services of Sid to co-coach the team together.
Any discussions regarding trades, picks etc. can be sent to either myself or Sid.

You and your revolutionary thinking can go elsewhere. :o
A reserves league is a bit too much, more for the coaches than for me.
Certain coaches have multiple team and it's just another team to name every week.. and it would be messy.
Yeah Jb why don't you run the reserves league?
I could co run a reserve league, oh maybe i could i haven't really thought about it... ::)
I am not sure having a reserves league at all is a good idea. There are no reserves leagues in the other XVS competitions.
I think naming squads for your reserves will grow tedious and some people may not bother at all, in that case the whole thing would turn into a bit of a joke and probably isn't what we want.
You have to remember certain coaches have multiple XVs teams and just won't bother with a reserves league.
For it to work everyone would have to be interested, and attracting new coaches down the track and telling them there is a reserves league they have to be involved in might be unattractive?
I will give it some thought but at this stage I think it is unnecessary.
I also think you might be surprised at the work required to create a fixture, a ladder, update the ladder, cross check every score from every player in every team ,every week, work out the results , post the results.
Pm all coached to remind them to name teams, create team threads each week for the teams to be posted in, or have them all PM to you. check every players score on every team in the competition, did I mention that?
Calculate home ground advantage, captain and VC bonus.....
Me I say no to a reserves league because I can see it falling apart mid season and making us look like fools :)
not the person running it, more the interest level from coaches.
Still if EVERYONE wants one knowing the extra commitment it will require, we can discuss it further but I honestly think it is unnecessary and a bit much.
I agree with Nails about a rendom draw next year, but should play your rival twice, Me and Noz should be playing theSHOWDOWN ;)

Just posted in the other thread, this seasons draft will be completely random in every aspect except home and away games will be equal.
Nest season the top sides will play each otehr twice as will the bottom sides.
Want to keep it as LIFE-LIKE as possible, but Nails is right this season should be random. And will be.
Cw there is actually a reserves league in the Worlds.

Well if everyone wants it and commits to it we can look at one for Asians, as long as it is done properly and doesn't turn into a mess or detract from the main game.
Someone has to sign up for all that work tho and EVERY SINGLE WEEK WITHOUT FAIL.
checking 240 player scores each week alone is a big ask ??? never mind everything else that goes with running it....

Yeah well I'm not sure how Ossie does it, but I am sure that the coaches do not post teams. Ask him how he does it... ???
Os is a freak just look at elxam and the work he does! He probably does it all for Worlds and Worlds reserves....
I will have a chat to him tho and see if he has a streamlined "easy" way of doing things.

Happy for you to run it, as long as I can oversee it :)
once again you'll need to get everyone to commit to it at least at a basic level, so it is taken seriously enough at least to be worth your/our while.
The fixture part is easy it can just mirror the 1st grade fixture.

Think looking at Ossie running the Elxam and others a lot of it looks like it is done in excel with pivots and lookups so if you have medium excel skills should be ok.

***ANNOUNCEMENT***
Heppell21 has handed back ownership of the TAIWAN DOLPHINS. No not because Drummond retired, he has a new job which is demanding on his time and does not allow him to commit to the AXVs competition.
I am now happy to announce Tor01doc as the new owner of the TAIWAN DOLPHINS.
Please make him welcome, and PM him when his pick is up :)
I will get the draft pages updated shortly to reflect the change in ownership as well as all other relevant threads.

Rumour has it theres some huge trade talk going on down at the Headhunters HQ with an another undisclosed AXV club word is some big names could be on the move, stay posted!
Ok thanks again CW! Questions, do upgraded rookies count as player movements in off-season, and
Can we re-vote on player movements in 2012 currently at 4, if enought Coaches want a re-vote?

no list movements only relate to trades. and you won' be able to upgrade any players off your rookie list until after 2013 season.
if there was a LOT of people more than half that wnated to increase list movements i might consider it but the vote to have any was not that favourable, and the vote on the amount was clearly in favour of 4.
I very much douby the overwhelming majority wants more than 4. But if you get more than 9 coaches to pm me requesting a rule review i will consider it.
still guys the idea of this competition is to mirror the afl, to run our own afl club.
afl clubs don't make endless amounts of trades each season, very few actually. want to keep it realistic.

A llama is stuck in mud.An elephant walks by and helps him by flopping out his long dong and pulling the llama free of his muddy predicament.
2 days later the elephant (not being too smart hey whatlez!) is stuck in the mud. The pretty lame llama says I am too weak to pull you free but I have a car. Off he goes and gets his little red sports car and pulls the elephant free.
Quote from: tor01doc on September 28, 2012, 09:46:11 PM
The moral of the story - if you have a big long dong, you don't need a little red sports car. ;D
Or a black mercedes...cw
Hahaha Torc is legend. Give him coach of the year haha!
sounds like a collingwood supporter, talking about sports cars that way anyone would think he was the shoeless toothless pies supporter ::)
if you can drive a mercedes you wouldn't drive a datsun. and that's got flower all to do with the size of your dong...
I did my time at uni in shower box cars and then some! delivering pizzas in a car i drove the same way fred flinstone drives his ;)
but yeah tor01doc sure has some character! A welcome addition to the Asians indeed even if I am already the butt of his jokes.

Announcement
The UAE TIGERS F.C is to be offered on the open market. EZA100 has decided to step down as Team owner/ Head Coach to an assistants role and asked me to find a new owner for the team. Reason being the level of activity required in the off season.
This is a demanding role we have all signed up for , we have 2 drafts and 2 trade windows still to complete between now and the start of the 2013 season.
It is with serious regret and sadness I receive this news as I am very happy to have all of our new to 15s coaches and losing EZA100 as a head coach is a shame.
Still I will put the team on the market, and hopefully we can find a new coach who can be active year round and run a 15s team.
The team will be open to existing 15s coaches also but preference naturally will be given to interested new coaches.
I will take the remaining pick for the TIGERS if EZA100 does not as soon as he is next up.
How we going with the trade limit voting?
Anyone I have been discussing trades with please let the Llamas management know where you stand regarding our previous discussions, thanks :D
BUMP :)

good idea this once trade window opens if you need instruction getting on ask Jayman, Whatlez or most other coaches are around here are familiar with it.

So majority in favour. The rule has been overruled.

It was always going to happen.
Sorry to the coaches that wanted it to remain the same, however in this case it is a case of majority rules and only brings this season in line with future seasons. So not a rule change that is very drastic or game changing.
The updated rule will be reflected in the Rules thread, The Trades thread. The poll can remain here as proof as required of the count ect....

Well one reason I'm in favour of this rule is simple:
We have what, 2 teams now with new coaches and might gain more...
If more changes are allowed, these coaches who didn't draft the full team have greater input into how their team can/will look.
You've hit the nails on the head!

Guys we have to work out a way of deciding on how we appoint our New coach fo the Tigers.
Normally I would have said yes to the first suitable applicant. But since I sent out a few PM on recomendations and now have multiple aoolicants, I can either give the gig to the first in or we can vote or discuss.
Applicants: in order of application and confirmed they want it or yet to confirm they want it.
JROO8 - Confirmed.
Phasir - Confirmed.
Toga - Confirmed.
I think we should put it to a vote :)
Quote from: Jayman on October 01, 2012, 11:26:47 AM

Yes it is good to have interest a shame not to be able to give everyone a gig. Still we have PLENTY of assistant coaching roles open and there is the scope to bring in expansion clubs in the future. (earmarked for assistant coaches wanting a team of their own).
Quote from: Jayman on October 01, 2012, 11:26:47 AM

I guess that is fair JROO8 first in but now we have 3 - I will close applications. Take down the add and PM a vote.
Maybe get them to each send you a PM saying why they want the team, and what they will do with it. Then you forward that to us, and we vote :)

Something like this. I don't really know too much about the proposed new coaches and I don't really feel like my vote would be fair unless I know what they would do with the team and if they would really be good for the job.

@ BB - Fair enough, you can abstain, or you can vote for first in best dressed, or you can reseasrch the applicants.
any option is fine, just if i'm asking everyone , I need to ask everyone.
Voting closes this afternoon so whoever hasn't voted had the chance to. No problem. Really the vote gives the coaches who DO know the applicants well a chance to put them forward.

Look to be honest the way the wind is blowing others feel the same I know I do, they are all great would love to have all on board, but unable to split them the easy fallback is to first in best dressed.
Hoping we can secure two as assistants anyway, and keep them around for future expansion plans :)
JROO8 Has been voted in by a clear majority as the new coach of the UAE TIGERS.
The voting was heavily swayed in his favor due to being the first to apply, which is probably for the best and fair as all 3 applicants were worthy.
I have messaged all applicants and it is my hope Phasir says on as nails Assistant and Toga joins a club as an assistant, both can be in line for new takeovers should they come up, or possible future expansion clubs.
Please welcome JROO8 and offer any help and advice you can in regards to setting his team thread up and any other matters XVS related.
Congratulations JROO8.

And do I have to make a sportsbet betting account to view scores and stuff or is there another way?

SERIOUSLY WTF ARE YOU SMOKING?
Kelly is old as flower, few years left...
Hanley is young and Irish so has only just learnt AFL last few years and is continually improving. 108 average defender = 128average midfielder...
But then Hanley = a lot younger so he is EASILY better than Kelly.
I'd trade Kelly for Hanley every day of the week without hesitation.

Hanley is a VERY good young player. playing in a position where very good players (scoring) are few and far between.
Will be in DT next year. So I rate top 7 backs next year ad es getting for nothing...
Like Nails said. He's a gun.
Guess I was aproched by sevral rivals and thought I'd see what would be offered, hoping to lower my picks at 50 and 55 and pick up another young player, because it is such a rich draft I want so many of them, can't help myself ::) There's players from 20-50 that I want at the Llamas so I was willing to trade to get them, oh well, three top 20 is nice 8)

Your strategy is sound , but I must stress it will work one day for GCS and GWS, but that day is still a long long way away.
You have 3 first round draft picks ! In the best draft we will see maybe ever ( widely thought to be the case )
I have 2 first rounders and 2 second rounders in British and thought I was doing well....
You can still trade and improve those picks, but you need to probably go after even MIDDLE AGED players if not old players for some reliable scoring in your team.
Maybe giving up a young player or two to a team that really wants them, and getting an older player they don't want AND your improved draft pick, is the BEST option for you to one, be competitive this season, and two, get those players off the draft you want.
Just a thought....
Ok guys I have one player movement, I still want a draft pick or two so if anyone wants a player like,
Yeo, Kerridge, Couch, Butcher, Crozier, Clay Smith, or someone else? No gaurantees
Also if you want Hanley offer a defender who will play of any age like a Brodie Martin, Brodie Smith, Andrew Moore type, or a Jordan Russell, Mattner type and a higher draft pick or two, I have 50 and 55 + Rookie picks I'd like to swap
I prefer to keep him plus he is highly sought after so it needs to be a very good deal
Older players I will require two picks, unless it is a high pick
I'd prefer two picks say 20 and 35? or 25 and 30? with a player, for 50/55 and maybe 2 round Rookie?
Players I'd like for Hanley include, Houli, Buntine, Golby, Martin, Jaensch, Smith get the idea?
then maybe a pick from 15 to 35 depending on the player
send in your offers for me to consider
A bidding war has broken out for Pearce Hanley and a great deal will be needed if you want him!
Please go to Taiwan and see who's joined the team.
Wish the young fella all the best to put up with me.
The Eskimos are looking for another backup forward, we have plenty of defensive depth, inquire within! :)

Whatlez has Pre-season draft pick one. And who knows what?
That means Craig Moller will be moving to the Elephants. If you keen on Craig then please offer for rookie pick one ;)

No he is not. He is on Freo's rookie list.
If he is on freos rookie list my pick in British would stand.
Like brad crouch, omeara and the pre selected GWS players he would be available in the NAT.
Yeah well he can only be selected in NAT draft if he is drafted to another club. If Freo keeps him on their list then you can only pick him up in the rookie draft, hence having pick one.
Think we should wait for Collies word on that because you dont make the rules around here ;)
Well this is the rules on Euros. Not sure they are different ???
Point is... if you want Craig, send me offers ;)
He is would be a top draft pick.

If players are already listed they aren't available in the NAT draft.
the NAT draft is for the players that aren't on any list and are about to be drafted...
He's a scholarship player so would come under the same banner as pre listed gws players and mini draft.
He is already signed to a club though...
the NAT draft is for players getting drafted in the real life NAT draft....
Moller is already signed to a club... therefore rookie draft.
Hes not on any lists hence i was not able to draft him in British.

Hanley.
I've got Clancee... I just realised in his last 8 games I think it was he averaged something monster like 127...
At 21yo and has the potential to be m/f again... Clancee is a gun. Therefore he's only getting traded away for a gun ;)
Lol, yeh all the freo boys got better in the bak end of the yr ;)

Like our man, the 'Duffman'. Average of 118 if you exclude his two sub-affected games, making him the 5th highest averaging defender ;)
Very nice 8)

we should wait for collie, but Moller is in the rookie in the euro and worlds drafts. If he gets traded to another club than you can take in the nat.
Ok, I'd prefeer some crap player to plug a whole for a year or two in mid or back, and two draft picks, or a very high one, I'd also prefeer to keep 50, even 55 if I can so can offer Rookie picks?
This is just my preference, If I lose Hanley I want to get the players I had in mind in the draft, my other younger backs can fill the void but I need a guy playing next year to get a deal done

have your received my latest PM?
For anyone who wants to bolster their mids, im putting daisy on the market, im looking for a fwd to fill a whole seeings my #1 fwd decided he needed a knee reco!!
All I need is a good midfielder and defender
Anyone want to offer anything?
PM me your best offers for:
Clinton Young (109.5 average midfielder) who is 26yo
and
Clancee Pearce (120 ave without subgames) at 21yo - M/F
If anything takes my fancy we can work out a deal, my other players are also up for trade, take a look at my team thread...
But Clancee seems in high demand, so PM me best offers and we might work something out.
Am keen on 100+ average backs atm.
Hmm Barlow has lots of interest. I'll post again, I want high draft picks and good young kids. A lesser mid who is a potential gun ad draft pick for Barlow. I dont want PMs which says check my side out,
Llama media manager Mr X:
Rumor has it the Llamas have agreed a deal involving the final player movement from Tibet, but this does not rule the Llamas out of trading, we are seeking a deal to bring a young gun midfielder to Tibet :o also with our picks if someone we want comes up we will entertain the idea
So how's everyone's discussions going, anyone got any bolter's coming into their team?
The Llamas have high draft picks and are after a mid, possibly could include Heppell in a deal
I want Hamish Hartlett, Jack Trengove, Jack Redden, Lachie Neale, Jordan Murdoch, Rory Sloane, Chad Wingard
plus willing to swap a top 10 pick for two mid picks,
I really only am looking at trading Barlow. If anyone is keen, please continue to PM me ;)
Commom more chatter, more discussion, more trade trash talk, is nobody trading now ???
Its gone very dead now... I just started my 12 hour night shift and im bored as!!
Tbag did u get my pm, any interest?
I wanna trade, but nobody wants my oldies lol.
Is Matt Suckling up for trade?
Anyone who needs a premium forward, I have Nick Riewoldt (125 avg this year) should play 2 more years & Chris Knights (Potential 110+ avg at the Tiges) on the trading block.
Looking for a premium defender, and could add Corey Enright to the deal for a short term replacement for the defender...
Here is my team:
DEF: P.Duffield - M.Johnson - C.Enright - B.Reilly
MID: J.Selwood - S.Mitchell - D.Mundy - S.Tuck
RUC: B.McEvoy
FWD: N.Fyfe - D.Martin - D.Stanley - N.Riewoldt

Ask colli.
It is a bit confusing.

Yeh of our "4trades" that would only be '1trade' the draft picks dont count as 'list movements' as theyre not on ur list yet.
Thats how i understand it anyway, hope im right :)

Trading picks = not a movement
Trading players for picks or picks for players = a movement.

That makes a lot of sense.

Of course. I didnt consider a 'pick for player' deal ::)

sorry lez, blame me :)
I am perfectly happy to keep Hanley and with Heppell create a dominant Defence
But he was highly sort after and I am entertaining offers,
again Ebert and Hanley only go for the right price, most likely two draft picks and a player
Anyone with Libba, Trengove, Sloane, Ziebell, or someone like this
What kind of Draft pick would you trade for?
We want these players either for picks or swap in pre-season
Anyone interested in dealing at all?
I have plenty of youth
Clay Smith, Kerridge, Butcher, Couch, Jolly, Russell, Vickery, Darley, Crozier, Lynch, Kersten,
I dont think the deals will come to u like that mate, i think u gotta target what u want
Wasn't sure where to post this boast of a post so here will do.
I hadn't realised McPhee was a forward so now my troubles are over.
On the trade table are: Sam Gibson & Kade Simpson
They are both premium midfielders and are sure to fill a hole in someones team. Sam Gibson would almost push for a VC role considering he averaged >120 in just his first AFL season!
PM me your offers, I'm interested in a back.
Check my new page pretty much done up.

Guys please don't spud up the trade thread with crap and use this one, ;)
Yeah crap up this thread ;)
How was your boat ride CW, how's your head today :o ;D
Lol haha :P
NEWSFLASH
The Llamas may be willing to move a very high draft pick for some early/mid picks, or a player
pm to enquire :D
lol sorry CW, now I have used my limit of pm's :-\
will simplifiy it shortly
Maybe cw went overboard ???
Ok now I have National Draft pick 5, yes I could use it at the draft table but I still want players mid draft so
please offer me some mid picks say 10-50 or so if your interested
Whatlez: will u be reviewing ur ladder predictions now that draft is complete and trades are moving?
I'm interested to hear if ur ;) opinion has changed...?

The last 14 years I have been playing Premier or LMA Manager (Europien Football) and I always take a crappy team (Bit like I'm trying to do in the Worlds with the Bears sept I'm the assistant) and buy the best young talent I can to build a monster ;D
Now it's for real and there's no stopping me ;D
Lol, well good luck with it.
It'll b hard to beat theHeadhunters!! ;)
But wait, have a look at the Draft order ;)
In the most talanted deapest draft for at least 11 years the Llamas have picks...

Rocky beats Gaff, Golby equal to Howe, Heppell beats Parker, Daisy beats Fasolo, the picks are about even.
I would say its a very even trade period for you.
If Heppell stays dpp like Goddard for 5 years I think you win, Rocky is a monster
I feel i hav won (atm) lol
But that because iv filled the holes iv wanted to, i hav added alot of depth to the side, especially my backline which as whatlez pointed out was pathetic, and now i think its gotta b up with the best

Yeah, and if Rocky can get back to 2011 form, you will be laughing.
So...
Anyone with list movements interested in my back end draft picks? :)
I could have just settled on a formidible backline with Hanley and Heppell :-\
But my mids would be week with developing kids in their!
I'm still relying on Key forwards delivering
We got the future John Butcher
the two Tommy Lynch's
Boom Colt Jeremy Cameron
Forgotten man Ty Vickery
It's an impressive list but the real key will be
Dev Smith and Brandon Matera along with an un-named player ;)
next person to message me gets my 600th pm :o
Whatlez still has 4 list changes left ;)

you also lost Heppell. :-X Bad trades.
yeah i'm not a fan of losing heppell, but i lost fasolo and trengove in fair trades.... trades which in a year might not look so fair as i will be kicking myself.
Who knows how things will turn out or how trades will look in hindsight a year from now.
I just hope for tbags sake he gets it right at the draft :)
Don't worry I plan to be much fairer in coming years when trading young talant sitting on my bench than Gold Coast and GWS are,
I have probably done more rookie resurch than anyone and am set for a big haul ;D
Pick 2 will be the toughest I imagin, but most of you know who I am favoring
My team should be very competitive next season with a class midfield and a host of forwards that can deliver, as well as a Ruckman who suddenly could find himself tapping to Joel Selwood and Jimmy Bartell :o He will be one of the very best scoring Rucks next year ;D My defence is building but guys like Jake Batchelor, Jasper Pittard, Sammy Shaw, are due for breakouts and Hanley is a topliner, I strongly considered a backline brute of Hanley and Heppell but my mids was lacking and now it isn't ;D
how can tbag get it wrong in the draft? he's pretty much the only one picking!! :o
Andrew Embley
Taylor Hunt
Rhys Palmer
Liam Picken
These 4 are on the table, looking for a reliable back up forward or a quality defender plus a draft pick from our side. Inquire within! :)
Remember I have picks 1 and 6 ;)
So look out decent players ;D
And we all know that Tbag is getting Jimmy T for pick 2 :o
Also while I am here, does anyone want Craig Muller?

What rule? On who can be on your list = easy...
Anyone who is on an AFL list can be on your list. Either by drafting in or trading in.
The only exception are players who are prelisted who can also go on your list.
The first 40 players to joing your team, either by drafting or trading go on your senior list, the last 6 to join your team go on your rookie list.
The national draft is the players drafted in the afl national draft and if there is not enough anyone from the remaining initial draft pool.
The rookie/preseason draft is players taken in the afl drafts other (all) left over national draft players (if any), rookie draft, preseason draft, mini draft, AND any players remaining in the initial draft pool.
* ON PRELISTED PLAYERS - IF THE PLAYER IS OFFICIALLY PRELISTED BEFORE WE DO OUR NATIONAL DRAFT YOU CAN GET HIM IN OUR NATIONAL DRAFT. IF NOT YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR OUR ROOKIE/PRESEASON DRAFT.
IF HE IS NOT PRELISTED BY THEN THEN WE CANT GET HIM AT ALL.
hope this clears up the question which i am not sure what it was actually...
Craig Moller, is he taken in National Draft or the Rookie Draft?
Ok I'll put it out here now for all the Barlow lovers out there:
I am willing to trade Barlow for TWO top 10 draft picks. Thanks.
sorry Whatlez did my post answer the question?
got to be honest haven't really looked into all the compensation picks, prelistings and other nonsense that has gone on the last couple of seasons.
Basic rule of thumb tho is if a player is put on AFL list ( no matter how it happens) we can then draft him....
If this doesn't answer the question I will go and research and find out exactly how it all works, when it will happen and get you a precise answer,
it is important i guess we need to clear any matters such as this up before the drafts.
I just wanted to hear your opinion on that specific player. It is a unique situation..
Quote from: whatlez on October 04, 2012, 10:55:36 PM
I just wanted to hear your opinion on that specific player. It is a unique situation..
ah i see let me look into it so i can know for sure, at present I am unsure of his situation :)
ok so he is prelisted to Fremantle under the NSW scholarship program.
They will either keep him and he will just pop onto their rookie list - BUT WHEN?
They will trade him to GWS for one of them mini draft picks that GWS has but cannot keep.
Here are the key dates, I am not sure when the exact deadline for them to list him or trade him is but I will keep track of it as well as the date of the mini draft (2 players)
GWS can pick the 2 players they want in the min draft - Then trade them (they HAVE TO)
or they can trade the picks to other clubs like they did last season ( Adelaide and GCS) predominately for picks....

I Will update the list after trade period, unfortunately the compensation will be a pick AFTER the rookie/preseason draft.
still wasn't a high pick for you so not a lot of harm done, if there are a lot of good rookie/preseason selections may even be of benefit to you...

Pick 17&46...
That cannot get you pick 5. I will complain.
I did picks 17 and 33 for pick 6. So you have to beat that.
Tbag chooses the price of his pick not you.
With this new released draft pick list showing 7 rounds and 133 picks, everything changes.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/148933/default.aspx
OUR AXVS National draft doesn't change, but the value of the picks in OUR rookie/preseason draft do as there will be at least a few rounds of national draft picked players left over and available for selection along with the afl picked players in the rookie and afl preseason drafts, and the players we have remaining in out initial draft.
So to update....
AXVs NATIONAL DRAFT> 4 rounds of picks from:
1. Players picked in the AFL national draft.
2. Players picked in the AFL mini draft.
3. Players prelisted by clubs in any other fassion BEFORE the 22nd Novemeber (AFL National Draft).
4. Players left in the AXVs Initial draft pool.
AXVs ROOKIE/PRESEASON DRAFT> 6 rounds of picks from:
1. Players picked in the AFL Rookie Draft.
2. Players picked in the AFL pre-season draft.
3. Players picked in the AFL National draft ( THAT WERE NOT SELECTED IN THE AXVs NATIONAL DRAFT)
4. Players prelisted or added to an AFL list in any fassion BEFORE the 14th December (AFL PreSeason Draft)
5. Players left in the AXVs Initial draft pool.
So check out the link to the update AFL pick list as you consider your strategy and potential trades.
So how will Craig Moller be drafted?

Yes I would like to hear this too.
Also Zone Selections?
This
Key Dates: http://www.afl.com.au/Offseason/KeyDraftDates/tabid/19765/Default.aspx
and
Draft Order as of now - will change: http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/148933/default.aspx
and then
Mini-Draft: http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/143167/default.aspx
finally and most confusingly: http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/149171/default.aspx
The last on zone selections, basically seems to me a bit like nominating/bidding for father son selections. the GCS and GWS get to bid for the zone players, and if they do they take them "in the draft" not sure exactly how.
But it says quite clearly if they do not, "they, allow them to slip into the draft pool". Which I take to mean they will be or may be drafted by other clubs in the national draft.
What about Craig Moller? Rookie draft I'm assuming?

Lol and so have you. ::)
Anyway, if I was to get the job, but was told to give up Asians, Id decline. :)
anot to be harsh, but in all honesty my feeling is this.
good ridance to any who want to leave.
I know a few who want teams in worlds more than teams here, maybe they haven't been reading the same worlds threads recently that i have been .....
but good luck to any who go down that road, i just hope if anyone isn't commited to the competition they leave sooner rather than later.
what is happening in British and worlds with the competions having people leave and general disorganization is not a good look and certainly not something we want or will have in AXVs, we might be the newest XVs competition but we WILL be the best, and to be the best we must have 16 commited coaches.
so are you committed?

Of course CW! Ill withdraw my app if apping for the Worlds shows Im not commiteed here! :)
no koop you want both teams as i understand it same as two other guys who have applied :)
not the guys i am talking about.
I refer to people who have expressed a desire to have a worlds or euro team, and in getting one will DROP their AXV or BXV teams.
these are very different situations to you guys wanting a team in both, the way i understand it all the guys who have applied for one of those surrent worlds teams going have expressed a desire to KEEP their AXVs team.
So sorry if you felt this comment meant you it doesn't.
Im not going anywere :P
Agree with CW :) also i reckon best way to get a head coach role in one of these comps is show committement so offering to give up the same position in another comp to get it kinda does the opposite of that...... ::)
I'm committed to all 4 competitions.
If I was to get given a team in Worlds.... I'd drop... my other worlds team. haha ;D
I don't want to comment on the other XVs competitions, but on wanting teams in "other" competitions I'd do dome reading first, and maybe be careful what you wish for, or at least be aware of what you're wishing for.
Who is the 4 people who wants out?
I think people want more teams, not they want to leave Asian Torc.
Tbh I want out in British, but still want to keep my Asian team lol :P
Torc. People are applying for other jobs, doesn't mean they are giving this team up!
Stop getting up everyone's arses.
Torc = baby smoker haha or tor1doc or something.
Ok I am not sure what happened, but I think all of these coaches are committed they just want more teams to manage. Like KK for example. Jroo is also applying, but he just joined this comp, so going to the top comp is probably not fair for others who have been around for like a few months to a year. I for one think a more experienced Coach should get Ossie's team. Not someone who is new. The World's is meant to be the 'premier' comp, and you cannot just join the premier comp without building your way up.
Like in the soccer.
I am just getting up Torc because he is paying out like 4 of our coaches about trying to get a World's job. Then he applies lol ::)
As you can see, I have put the most effort already in my team for the Elephants than any other team, so it shows my dedication towards this team.

Yeah look I don't mind any of those guys applying for a worlds or euros job, i see the appeal really I do,
I don't have a problem with coaches applying and taking on those roles if they get them, just better stay 100% commited to AXVs or leave is all I am saying.
Never doubted your commitment Whatlez, and te other guys applying for the worlds jobs are also amongst the most active AXVs coaches too, so no issues with any of them.
just with what is going on in british and worlds i want to make sure everyone WE have is commited and happy and staying.
just as important everyone here is happy. I need to keep everyone happy and interested and involved so AXVS is loved by its members not resented or hated.
Also if this gets shutdown as in Sportsbet and this goes to DT then my team will suck. I have recruited heaps of key forwards...
E.g. Walker, Patton, Day, Crameri, Gumbleton, Hansen, Reiwoldt, Kennedy.
So my team which will be powerhouse in 2013 or 2014 will be shower if the scoring is change :( lol...

This is true, it won't happen was just making a point.
Besides it is not hard to double goals to 12 points, that is the main difference, markds and kicks and tackles are also higher but the goals are the big difference, wouldn't be a stretch to use dt and add on +6 to every goal kicked each match/round.
anyway won't happen i was just making the point, " what is premier competition" or rather why is?

+1 good healthy banter that, injury is likely in any team that uses walkers and wheelchairs as training aids ;D
a couple of our oldest lists there, but then rooks and young pups are no less prone to soft tissue injuries so maybe those with young sides shouldn't speak to soon either :)

And everyone ESPECIALLY Nails was so sure his team had a nunfair advantage, I even thought I saw the horrible drastic knee-jerk term "ponts cap" being thrown around.
We still have 2 drafts to go and another trade window, I am certain we will ahve top and bottom sides in the first season, which is natural, but I am also certain we will have a very interesting and competative season for our first year.
SO MANY players will break out next season and so many of those GWS boys will kick on next season and then there are the draftees we are about to get our hands on....
well mostly TBag is about to get his hands on :) Tbag may not make the top 8 first year in but i am willing to bet his team moves up the ladder every year after it and i am quiatly confident it may be moving up higher and faster than most people expect.
No point getting odds and rating teams yet, what I will do is release a thorough rating system, based on 2012 player averages, 2013 champion data player ratings, and based on draft position of newest players.
should be able to get a fairly detailed and accurate rating of everyones list and from there a start point for establishing odds and dreaded betting if anyone is keen to run that.
my list i think is a little above middle of the pack, but I also think i have a higher than average number of potential breakout candidates, so it is very hard to know how teams will stack up next season.
howard and blokes like him could turn premium or put in another 40-60 average season, so much can and will change when the sherrin is first bounced in anger next year.
Well my teams will be a powerhouse between 2014-2028 so tbag could hit scraps there.
Ra Ra here come the Llamas sneeking up on you!
Dangerfield, Wallis and Trengove will very quickly form a super Llama midfield!
Did I mention Wingerd and ----- ------- that's JT for those who cannot spell ;D
But will be interesting as who goes where, with the National draft and Asians being different who will be wanted? ???

Yer I kind of agree with you here. I won't be disappointed at all if I miss out on the job as people have been waiting longer than me and have more experience ect.
Yep. Agree.
Must say I was a bit surprised to find out that the World's is the 'top' or 'premier' comp.
Good luck to whoever gets it.
If it is an 'Asian' coach, I'll be barracking for them.
Worlds is my territory of familiarity :P
This Asians stuff is a challenge for me with the scoring system. :)
Maca, are you a world's coach?
Ahhh - Mexico City!
Nice - and SC scoring is the best!
(That old chestnut!)
worlds has its own issues now and i sure the lads will fix it, but it was the creation, the original so it has it's rightful place as the premier ( means first) competition.
That doesnt mean it will be the best, but we are all one big family, need to make sure we run 4 great competitions and everyone involved is happy and enjoys it.
that must be the main game.
I am biased but i love the rules and setup of our AXVs I think the scoring method be it SB SC DT ect matters a bit in who you recruit to your list but it is definately not the main part of what we do, managing your list, recruiting drafting and trading is.
Look forward to seeing how we all go in our first season and I think we have good checks and balances in place to make sure we sail past the troubles the original comps have run into with list management and trading.
time will tell but i am quietly confident we have our setup right... maybe too many list movements allowed in 8 but that was popular - everyone loves to trade, but we can adjust if and when it seems appropriate to adjust things.
for now i reckon we got it about right,,,,, bring on the AXVs National draft already.... 6 weeks... ish

Reilly is a defender - Check the Fanplanner.
Also, you cant really base it on 2012 averages...
Duffield, Mundy, Tuck, Zaha, NRoo, Hodge & Cross' averages are all severely affected by sub/injuries...take those out, and it is a different story.
We have emergencies that without sub effected games, average higher than your on field players ;)
Didn't realise there was a team so close to me though :( flower hug. banannanananas
we will see boys if you finish 1 and 2 on the ladder it wont help either of you make the GF and take the flag if in those rounds we play our finals, and we know they always do - all those stars get rested on you ;D
maybe a young team finishing 8th will beat you in the finals because their younger players don't need the rest your older stars do.....
we will see, i don't but into the favorites tags just yet, we have not even bounced a ball yet i wouldn't be placing any bets on a premier just yet....
I'd argue 0 stars got rested this year.
It's an old wives tale really.
All my mids are in their 20s and it's generally mids that get rested :o
Adam ant's mids are old as the hill....
WTF How you get Waters? Me want him.
Adamant has a better team. Just saying :-X
I'm glad though, will make this year more interesting spectating from outside the 8 :P

good points but if not rested many of the stars were injured late this season, i can go dig up the records but trust me i remember the stars on the bench i didn't imagine it....
not to mention a whole season can be derailed in this competition if your ruckman or both go down for extended periods of time....
anything can happen... and does

The word 'swimmingly' is severely underused.

Assuming Nails has Buddy (C) + Pav (VC), and I have Jelwood (C) + Tuck (VC)...
Adamant: 2171
Nails: 2176
Nails still a little ahead, but not much...
I would still argue Mundy didnt have a pre-season this year, so realistically he will average 130+...same goes for Hodge.
But yeah, having the #1 pick (Buddy) as Nails captain really gives him the edge. Going to be very close next year.
Sticks and stones don't break my bones but this guy...

I just totalled up the Folders averages for 2012 and it turns out that with sub affected scores they average more than the Bears and Dongs. Manila averaged 2036 with C and VC bonuses and I expect quite a few of my players to life their averages next year. Don't count us out of the premiership race just yet ;)

If you look above, Nails is 2176 and Im 2171 ???
Thats for your teams without sub affected scores. I just took my averages straight from the Sportsbet site, with sub affected scores.

Oh ok.

I'm not wasting my time because my calculator doesn't add up low enough! :-[
1928.39
with Swallow as C and
Ward as VC
not to bad thats with Whitecross injured, and Rhys Stanley on instead of Varcoe... :-\

(http://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/Portals/0/1109_witts_ugle.jpg)
a few games maybe, and if he goes super well he might secure a spot, but doesn't sound like they plan to use him or gault unless they have to.
the main reason they go the big cue stick was for #2 ruck role/
witts will be a gun ruck tho so i would hold him for sure!! when jolly goes in a season or two witts will be the #1, should be ready by then....
http://www.afl.com.au/tabid/208/default.aspx?newsid=149088
sorry meant to include link when i posted, brief but to the point.....
yeah all reports are they won't rush either of their young talls.. 5 players over 200cm i think the Jolly Q-Stick combo (might roll with that ;) hasn't got to many in em u wouldn't think 2 at best...
I can't look up how my team goes but I would like to see my 1700-1800 lol
mine was about 1955 with Beams C and S Tmompson VC.
but like most teams, there are a number of players in the starting side that i expect to significantly lift their averages in 2013, and more of the same on the bench.
but then i didn't take subbed off games out either just the obvious subbed on games under 20 points...
if i get 2050 i think i will be happy with my relatively young side. the old teams will be hard to beat initially but the gap will close sooner than they think, at worst a star only takes 3 seasons to break out.... often 2!!!!!
DEF: Bock (84)*, Hibberd (86), Bartram (87), Lake (102)
MID: Pendlebery (143), Ebert (134), Hannebery (104), Masten (113)
RUC: Ryder (116)
FWD: Rioli (116), Blair (105), Dahlhaus (100), Christensen (97)
UTL: ELlard (112), Picken (101)
= 1876
*= less than 5 games
this is without taking out sub, ceebs.
Look, it not that flash, but I could only see 2 of that 15 not improving next year by 5 points at least. :)
serious.....
Bock = 115
Hibberd = 95
Hannebery = 125
masten = who knows :o
Ryder = 130 ( 2nd Best goal kicking ruck going if the spud can stay fit, i had him all year in SB a must alongside cox for SB IMO )
Your entire FWD line + 10-20 each - a;ll capable of BIG improvement.
Ellard = +20 in a full time role...
picken is a tagger he won't improve and i bet he wont be in your run on side after other youngns in your team break out by round 4 or 5 either :)
So in short, You'll be at least arount the mid to high 1900's pretty good 15, says I .

I reckon those predicted averages are spot on, but I reckon Bock will be closer to 100-110ish.
yeah he just has them in because they have the highest 2012 average, but you can bet he will have better players not in that 15 scoring higher in 2013.
some of the newbies have to kick on.... we all have some of them, tbag has the rest ::) haha

blokes than concern me that might get an injury.. :-\
whos to say Ellard will play a good ammout of games as well..
This has probably been asked before but if i trade back in someone of my initial draft list for a nat draft pick, do i get a list movement back :-\
Yes.
no you wouldn't because the first trade u did u would have got a player in which would still count as a trade...basically i think you wouldn't incur another trade, but u certainly don't get an extra trade...
That did'nt make much sense, but trades are irrelevant! It's list movements!
Very different ::)

Yep +1 it's about how many changes to your list from before the trade period and after the trade period
Also Jroo I have exceeded my 20 for the hour. I think I have wait about or so minutes... ::)
well what im trying to say... :P
i think pickers is asking if he gets an extra list movement because he's bringing a player back into his side which was originally there. But you don't
doing the trade to get "Player X" back into the side doesn't incur any extra list movements, but he thinks he's going to be credited a list movement because the player was originally on his list....
i'm trying to make sense lol :-[

yeah this is what im asking, you made sence this time mons ;) lol. Wanted to know if id go from 4 list movements back to 3 if i got a player back in, then allowing me to trade another player in 1st trade period. but guess the awnser is no :(
Yes you should. Well if you do not then I must not know the rule. That is the case in Euros, but not sure here. What I see is list changes are your original players.
So if I trade:
Walker
Redden
Barlow
Reiwoldt out
That is 4 list changes.
Then I get Redden back, then I am sure that means you only back to 3 list changes.
I could be wrong, but that's how I see it.
Yea but the player you originally traded for redden is still in your team so you would need to also trade him out to get that list mmovement back
but then if u traded redden out u would get someone else in so that would be a list movement! :o
unless u traded the same player u traded for redden in the first place back into your team, which i guess would just be reversing the trade anyway rendering the whole thing a waste of time ::)
... ;)
Why would you trade a player just to get him back in?
I have 3 guys ive traded in, four ive traded out so the other list movement is a nat pick i swapped for a player. If we go off what JB said i trade back in a player of my initial draft list + trade out that nat pick that counts as a list movement and that should get me the list movement back..... i think ;D
I'll wait for CW cause prietty confussing but like lez's first awnser...... yes!
@ Noz - works better for my plans to have the extra list movement....... ;)
I tried to get extra movements but i know:
Player X
For
Draft pick # X
= list movement.
Hope this helps :)

Yer I think you can do that and it doesn't have to be that Nat pick traded in that gets traded out.
Similair thing happens to me and this is what Colli said
you CAN trade ANY player in for ANY pick, because you have an empty spot on your list which you traded a player out for a pick.
that spot can be filled with any player.
so as pick trades are not counted you can trade in one player and any number of picks and trade out any number of picks
BUT you CANNOT trade OUT any more players. BUT you CAN trade IN one more player
*different player on your list (1)
*different player on your list (2)
*different player on your list (3)
* empty spot on your list - counts as list movement but can be filled by a new player without counting as another list movement.. (4)

So somehow how I trade 4 players out. Then trade them all back. For example, unrealistic, but possible.
On your guys theory all 4 of those list changes have already been made? Which has to be incorrect.

December 1st if you bought Assistant Coach (m0nty will update it on the Fanplanner anyway). Yeah, I reckon Wright will keep it at least for this year, but ROK & Carrots are pretty much 0% chance to keep it. Could use them as utilities though?

haha yep ;D
I don't how you can justify that making 8 trades, but keeping the same list (somehow) is counted as 4 list changes??
Im interested in Wright jroo...PM me :)
Quote from: whatlez on October 15, 2012, 09:08:18 PM
I don't how you can justify that making 8 trades, but keeping the same list (somehow) is counted as 4 list changes??
The idea of the restriction on list movements is to prevent teams from changing their lists too great (be it for better or worse)
This unlimited list movements has been bad in other XVs. Creating a number of teams overpowered and a number underpowered
Also the blocking process we have here is a safeguard against that.
The reason ou can keep trading players you trade in is becasue that does not effect how many players from your ORIGINAL ( pre trade) List you have removed ( MAXIMUM 4).
Once you have traded 4 players out you can no longer trade any more out.***But you can continue to trade the players or picks that you traded in out.
This doesn't create more list movements.
List movements = LIST CHANGES FROM
Original Team (Pre-Trade Team) -
Final Team (Post-Trade Team)
THe point here is you can only benefit from or do damage to yourself 4 TIMES TOTAL.
example at worst you can turn 4 very good players into 4 not so good players, or the otehr way around.
Being able to change the players you bring in over and over again doesn't increase the benefit or damage greatle, or beyond, 4 total list changes.
example:You start with Monfries.
You trade:
Monfries - Hartlett
Hartlett - Pick 12
Pick 12 - VanBerlo
VanBerlo - Tippett
Tippett - Pick 3
Pick 3 - Sloanne
List Movements
Monfries - Sloanne = 1 TOTAL.
You have traded your butt off and have gradually got better and better deals so in the end you have a much better player than you started with.
but you have only changed one player on your list. Monfries - to - Sloanne.
Let me know if any further clarification is required on this, it has been raised by a few people now .
Whoever has Sloane, let's speed to process up and just straight swap for monfries? :P

take Bynum first out of that list. Would have said Love, but he's broke his hand
Matthew Boyd is officially on the trade table :o
2 questions guys.
1: What is Boyd worth? ;)
2: If Broughton leaves Freo, does his value rise?
1- Boyd is worth a lot short term. Top 5 scorer in this competition with what 2-3 seasons to go, a lot of worth in him.
only age goes against him but at his level still very much worth in him, still a mid gun at 24 about to join the elite ranks such as dangerfield or beams may be worth the same or even more due to the length of their remaining careers when compared to boyds.
I don't think you can even talk picks when discussing elite mids worth, boyd is worth more than pick #1 in my oppinion easily.
2- I think anyone is worth more if they leave freo.
thats not exactly true but broughton would be as long as he told the club he went to he wanted to be a midfielder not a tagger. Thats what holds him back at freo.....
You very much overrate Boyd imo Colli.
31yo next year...
Beams or Dangerfield would be worth 2 Boys imo.
Pick 1 >= Boyd
depends what you want i guess Nails, If you want a premiership next season Boyd is worth a lot
Long term he is almost worthless yes, but he is extremely valuable for 1,2 or 3 seasons more. How can you say otherwise?
7th Boyd, Matthew
22 games
146.86 average per game
Pick #1 would pass as a trade, but i would not be happy with it for him just my opinion tho.... Some would be very happy with a pick top 5 for an ageing star....
How would a Sloane - Boyd swap go?
Quote from: tor01doc on October 23, 2012, 11:12:14 AM
How would a Sloane - Boyd swap go?
It would pass easily, sloanne is premium, boyd is elite, not EXTREME UNEVEN so would pass.
Again down to what the traders want from the trade.
Boyd is a win short term, sloanne is a win mid - long term.
My issue probably was you saying Beams is worth the same (or maybe more)
It's easily 2x as much..
Beams like 10 years younger and averaged MORE this year.
Beams for Boyd would be an extremely unfair trade.
Sloane is mine give him to me >:(

Beams for Boyd would be an extremely unfair trade.
not sure it would be EXTREME, beams could easily slip down in average, his first year as elite, Boyd is a proven lock year in year out as elite.
still the trade would be considered to heavily favor the guy getting Beams I agree.

The scenes in the streets of Taipei are similar to those witnessed at the end of the Second World War in London as the announcement is made that Greg Broughton has escaped from Stalag Freo run by Colonel Lyon.
I would just like some clarification on the Captain and Vice Captain rule. I saw in the best lineup thread that Colli had it listed as emergency captain and emergency vice captain in his team list. Say that I had this:
Captain: Swan - Emergency: Foley
Vice Captain: Zorko - Emergency: Vince
I take it that this would mean that if Swan missed a game that Foley would then become my captain and score double points and Zorko would stay as vice. I thought the rule would turn out something like this.
Captain: Swan
Vice Captain: Zorko
Deputy Vice Captain (Emergency): Foley
This would mean that if Swan missed, than Zorko would move up to captain, and Foley would move up to vice. This way you would be getting the maximum amount of points available in theory. Thoughts on this. I hope it makes sense to everyone.
I like what you put forward.
Obviously your VC would be the guy you expect to score 2nd highest and therefore should be your captain if your first choice is in Arizona or somewhere like that!
A backup VC is needed in case your nominated VC misses if he is in court for instance.
Nominate 4 guys - 1 2 3 and 4 - top one playing gets 2x and the next highest nominated gets 1.5 x.
If 3 of your 4 miss - tough?

Yeh this is what I am getting at. Maybe only list 3 instead of 4, but either way it seems to make more sense.
However, now that I have actually been bothered to read the stuff you guys agreed to, just ignore what I have posted be wise he rules are pretty clear, aren't they cw?
Duffman averaged 104.9 between rounds 1-16 (with Broughton in the team), and 136.8 when Broughts was injured for the season (rounds 17-23).
With Broughton now at the Suns, Duffield could be in for a 125+ average in this comp and be a top 3-5 defender! :D

Quote from: Adamant on October 25, 2012, 06:26:16 PM
Duffman averaged 104.9 between rounds 1-16 (with Broughton in the team), and 136.8 when Broughts was injured for the season (rounds 17-23).
With Broughton now at the Suns, Duffield could be in for a 125+ average in this comp and be a top 3-5 defender! :D
Thanks tbag!
Yeah well I got my man with pick 2 ;D so :P Bit I panicked and traded Heppell thinking he will play a midfield role in future, also lost Dusty but... Got my boys Trengove and Wingard so Happy enough, also Jasper will be a good player and with picks 2, 7, 14, 16 we can do some damage!

I would just like some clarification on the Captain and Vice Captain rule. I saw in the best lineup thread that Colli had it listed as emergency captain and emergency vice captain in his team list. Say that I had this:
Captain: Swan - Emergency: Foley
Vice Captain: Zorko - Emergency: Vince
I take it that this would mean that if Swan missed a game that Foley would then become my captain and score double points and Zorko would stay as vice. I thought the rule would turn out something like this.
Captain: Swan
Vice Captain: Zorko
Deputy Vice Captain (Emergency): Foley
This would mean that if Swan missed, than Zorko would move up to captain, and Foley would move up to vice. This way you would be getting the maximum amount of points available in theory. Thoughts on this. I hope it makes sense to everyone.
I don't mind if we change this rule prior to the first game, don't see that it makes much difference.
Rules is Here: http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,66632.msg864072.html#msg864072
There was no vote done on the setup of this part of the rule, it was formed based on discussion so I have no issue putting the way we do it to a vote..
Let me know if you are keen to have a vote to modify it, we should have plenty of time to get it decided before the season if so.
Yea I'm with BBs theory seems more logical

Thanks Colli, I believe we should put it to a vote and get this rule changed seeing as we didn't vote on it at the start ;)
We voted on the option to have a C and VC then there was just the issue of how to setup cover for them there is a fair amount of discussion on it in the original rules discussion thread and in favor of how it is now however I had originally had a rolling 1-2-3-4 set up from memory..
I will put together three or four options and PM everyone over the weekend and get all the results up in the discussion thread so it is transparent (the vote numbers).
I am yes to that but is there any need for 4 players to be nominated?
Or, if only 3, then this increases chances of the score being lower.

this was all discussed and the option I chose seemed to be the popular one for a variety of reasons...
I will give a few options so every possibility is covered.
You will see in the link, my original rule was for there to be ONE emergency for BOTH, if either did not play he was cover for the one that didn't ( if both didn't play obviously he would cover the captain at 200% not the VC at 150% )
But this was not popular due to wanting cover for BOTH the C and the VC.
Link : http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,65220.msg840891.html#msg840891
not sure how much discussion on this particular point is in the thread and how much came back to me through PM but I will put the vote up tomorrow night anyway.
I still like the idea of having different back ups for both makes more interesting in choosing the backup players but think its great we have an administrator open to changing rules as other options arise, Great work CW 8)
Whilst I know this is the 'Official Discussion Thread' and I have been accused of posting nothing of importance (thanks for that you little prat - you know who you are), and I lost tennis tonight BUT I did hear a decent joke - so here it is -
An Aussie stockman and his wife on their wedding night, look for a room in a quiet hotel.
The husband approaches the front desk and asks for a room.
He says, 'We're here on our honeymoon so we need a nice room with a good strong bed.'
The clerk winks knowingly and hints, 'You want the 'bridal'!'
The newly married stockman thinks for a split second and says, 'Nah. I reckon not. I'll just hold onto her ears until she gets used to it.'

No good mate, hope your ok, I will be on and off myself a bit less than usual over the next few weeks, got to find a new job thanks to a sudden redundancy....
will be checking in regularly however but if there is anything trade or otherwise you need pm me so it is assured i will realise what needs my attention and take care of it.
Will have everything in order in time for the AXVs national draft however no fear there. :)
Will send out an announcement soon, we are looking at an end date to the trade window #1 of approximately 2 and a bit weeks....
finalize and remaining trades sooner rather than later :)
more to follow
Sorry to hear about a couple of things.
Firstly, Noz, PM me if you want any medical advice - seriously.
Cw - hope you find something soon. I must admit though, the irony of having no time because you do NOT have a job is quite amusing.
All the best to both of you.
Yeah it is ironic, hopefully i will have no time when i have a new job also :)
the industry i am in has been dying a slow death, I was a sales rep to HN GG JB etc, and the electrical retail sector is dead, nothing to do but wait for the costcos, walmarts and internet to take over and the sales reps jobs to all disappear.
fortunately i have been in the game about 10 years, i should be able to move into a different industry easily enough, i better be able to!
should have made the move sooner.
Sorry to hear about that Noz and Colli, all the best

Hi All, this is a personal message I would rather not have to be making but to be fair to you all and to ensure continued excellence in this competition I will do so.
3 weeks ago i was made redundant by my employer, big salary big commitments, big problem!
While I should start work again next week pending a few details looks like I will be into a new role and back in business, however a reduced salary and things will be tough for quite some time.
The new role will be a bit more demanding on my time however I will have plenty of time at night to fulfill my duties as AXVs administrator. Sadly more time than I would like due to the following point.
This week my wife left, with the kids of course. very unhappy about this but no one to blame but myself. NO NOT FF, all me , well her and I anyway.
Suffice to say I'm not doing real well at the moment and might struggle to be on here a lot and at my usual lovely chatty social self. Maybe I hope to some extent the relationships I have formed on here although distant and internet based will help keep my mind off things and FF can be of benefit to me keeping my mind off things and my spirits up.
I would happily and gratefully accept any offers for assistance in running AXVs as I said I should have no problem maintaining things myself but I think it best for everyone involved that we have an assistant or two we can count on to keep things moving in the event I have a bad day or two and a decision needs to be made or an admin thing needs to be done.
Don't mean to dump my issues on everyone, life goes on I should be fine, don't feel like I will be right now but I am sure I will. Just want to make sure I am up front and cover myself so we don't end up in a mess due to me not doing everything when I should or by me being away for periods of time.
Have the national draft starting on the 23rd I do hope to be in a somewhat better state of mind than I am now by then but again best to have an assistant just in case.
The assistant only need perform general duties and rule on skipped picks ect, there won't be much work involved just a go-to guy in the event I am absent, which I do not plan to be but you never know.
EDIT* Thanks for all the support guys, lovely to receive it, I have sorted most of this out and am well and truly back on track.
So I will remain single for now which is great - more time for FF :) but in all seriousness I will still appoint a couple of assistants shortly to assist in the general running of this competition to ensure we always keep on top of everything at all times.
Again thanks for the kindness, great bunch of people and happy to report I am just about my old self again.
Very sad to hear :(
Hope all is well soon :)

Thanks mate, appreciate it, try to keep busy i guess...
Geez Colli, thats alot of life changing stuff to be happenng all at once, have you been kicking black cats or something?
l hope its just a glitch on the family side of things and that everything comes up roses sooner rather than later mate. And as for the job aspect, something better might be just around the corner, if your work ethic here is anything to go by l'm sure it will be.
Thoughts are with you man 8)
Very sad Colli hope everything turns good take as much time as you need to get things sorted out
I will help if needed.
thanks guys, the job isn't the issue so much just a necessary evil :) hope to get the good news on that Monday, it's a big company so drug and alcohol screening first :o no issues there i think....
Noz thanks for the offer I don't think we need a vote or anything official I am happy to list you as an assistant administrator if your keen, I think there may be one or two others once they hear, might PM everyone later.
Will make an official sort of post about it and add it to the rules thread in due course.
Sorry to hear mate, hopefully some good cricket will take your mind off things, you have been doing an amazing job and are a quility person, FF is much richer for your participation. Hopefully luck turns around for you, will keep you in my prayers

Gotta laugh!
When I heard Hird had delisted my defending vacuum cleaner - AKA Dyson - I wrote shower and it autocorrected to shower.
J C Hunt might get a game now!
It did it again.
What does a guy have to do to have a shower here?
Again. I am clean but still need a shower!
I am busting.
Maybe I should shower in the shower.
No. damn autocorrect.
What about letting me take a dump!
You had too much to drink again Doc? :P
Aaaaah! That's better.
Clean and with an empty rectum.
Effing nanny state.
Sober as a judge.
But that is a good idea.
Anyone got a defender.
Check out my bedraggled list and plunder away.

We are not renowned for defenders here at the Vipers i must confess, nor anything else mind you, maybe the mids and ruck stocks are decent, but leave the center square and the Vipers get thin, fastly.
Get a haircut etc etc - George Thorogood.

I was drug free ( at my age i would want to be)
Hadn't drunk either for about 2 weeks.
Passed the test so not sure what they were looking for exactly but they didn't find it :)

But people are voting for what is ideal for themselves instead the good of the game...
Who else will pass to attempt to get players like Darryl Garlett etc?
With the news of Danny Stanley being a defender only, the Bears are now in search of a premium forward. :(
On the other hand, we now easily have the strongest backline in the AXV.

HI ALL, I WILL ONLY BE ON NIGHTLY FOR A SHORT WHILE MOST NIGHTS FOR THE NEXT WEEK. ANY ISSUES PM ME AND I WILL GET BACK TO YOU ASAP.
PLEASE TRY TO SORT OUT YOUR LISTS SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHO SHOULD BE ON IT SO YOU CAN CHECK AGAINST THE LISTS WHICH I HAVE ON THE DRAFT THREAD WHICH I WILL UPDATE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

I am going to be pretty relaxed with delisting decisions.
no one will know for sure who they want to keep or delist and get a compo pick for until after the AFL rookie and preseason drafts.
our draft starts straight after it so i will allow everyone a couple of rounds of our draft to get me their decisions on who to keep and who to delist and get a compo pick for.
no colli i mean he's acctually delisted from Collingwood. and signed with a team to play in Darwin.. as well as a fishing contract lol
ok guys theres been ALOT of interest in Golby to be traded, all the offers i have rejected straight up without even considering them, i'm putting him out there for discussion to see if there's anything i like that i can get in return..
PM ur interest :)

keep in mind pick lists and team lists are only being updated on the DRAFT thread, i will transfer accross updated lists to the trade thread after the preseason/rookie draft.

yes you most certainly are allowed to change rivals, however i would like to think that the current rivals of both teams are happy with the switch given it effects them directly.

Chucking the experienced defensive trio of Dempster, Lake and Bock on the table, as well as Andrew Embley, Beau Wilkes and Shannon Byrnes, these 6 players would be benefical to clubs challenging for the premiership next year. All averaged or have avergaed over 90, some even over 100. Looking for young talent in the same positions. :)
Beau Wilkes is now an F only for people looking for a forward. ;)

This is actually bs, clearly people have taken advantage to suit themselves here, thought the idea was to compensate the new coaches on their squads they had no say in drafting?
Well now they don't get any advantage and this just shows the selfish society we live in, poor form imo

A lot of us won't use the extra 2 list movements, I know I won't but the idea wasn't to give the two teams that inherited lists an "advantage"
that would never be accepted by everyone, the aim was just to give them some added ability to modify the lists they didn't draft.
I think if others of us choose to modify our lists further by using the extra list movements there is no real advantage there anyway.
Hear your point tbag but don't think there is any advantage to anyone in added list movements just added flexability which those two probably deserved and yes it was always going to be C, no one likes to miss out on things :)
We will set the list movements limits in stone ahead of next season and whatever we all decide on will be final and won't change again. I think 4 and 4 as we have all agreed to for future seasons is about right myself, this being the initial season a little extra won't hurt. (4+6)
Fair enough mate! Doubt I can get the player's I want anyway so might not even trade :o there's only two players I want ;) sure there's others but my team of youth has virtually no spuds so why trade them?

Funny how the Personality award has become a popularity contest, with the leaders doing great work on the forum
That's not exactelly what "personality" is though, to prove my point, I'm not even nominated :o
Any I voted for CW ;D
Give me more live movements!! I missed out on period one :( lol
Check out the Bears thread: http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,66883.0.html
If you scroll down, under the 'trades' section, there will be a picture of every member of the Bears squad. If you click on a players picture you will be directed to their 2012 Sportsbet stats. If you click on a rookie or player who didn't play this year you will be directed to their profile. :)

Ha thanks guys, very much honoured by your votes, and friendship, been a great thing getting involved in FF, great site and great people have much loved and appreciated the support and community from all here.
Tbag I am certain you will be a nominee next season, as well as some other worthy "characters" we have around here, i tend to agree with you in principal on the personality award but not having a genuine contributor award i guess the votes in the personality award go that way.
We have so many great characters here with great personalities will be interesting to see how and if the focus of the award or expansions of the awards plays out next season, but I can honestly say even in the last 6 months alone we have gained some great people.
Who was that player? When asked on 5AA who of the youngsters has been the most impressive

Hey can I pick up Tom Swift in my team as a manager or something? I'll pay Taylor Walker for him!! haha.
The Manila Folders are proud to announce that they will be holding their first press conference in two days time, on Thursday at 8pm AEDST. They will be announcing team logos, sponsors, the leadership group and will be answering any questions other coaches or members of the AXV community might have. Make sure you get them in before the conference starts either by pm to me or by posting them in the Folders team thread.
Also on Friday we will be conducting some interviews with some of the Folders players, so tell us who you want us to talk to and what you want us to ask them!
Hey guys,
I've updated and revamped all banners for each AXV team. You can now click on each banner and be taken to each teams thread. If anyone has any problems with their assistant/coach on the banner, please PM myself and tell me what you want changed.
@nost - You didn't have a logo before, so I made one for you as seen on your banner.
@tbag - No offence tbag, but your previous logo looked terrible on the banner, so I've slightly improved it with an updated version.

Nice work Adamant! Looks great and gives the AXV a good look.
looking for a trading consultant, interested? PM me
I have begun the team rankings on the trade thread team lists, this is because these are the only lits on the site which are up to date. I will update there with any future trades and when the trade period ends and coaches have submitted senior lists and rookie lists i will transfer the final team lists to the team list thread.
The rankings I am doing are purely based on the champion data player rankings from the prospectus.
Doesn't tell us who will field the strongest side for 2013 but it is an unbiased system which is technically accurate to give us some kind of list rating if for no other reason than for interest sake, and for maybe pre-season bragging rights.
the system i have used is explained here: http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,70532.0.html
BUT AS I SAID ABOVE THE RANKINGS SO FAR AND THE TEAM LISTS THAT ARE CURRENT ARE ON THE TRADE THREAD.

Haha nah, I'll have crack at re-designing it tonight. :)
give me a like for like fwd replacement for him or a super premium ruckman and he is yours.
the Vipers still need a premium ruckman, at least for this season then we will probably move him on again if Luey comes back to his best.

I don't think anyone would have a premium ruckmen to spare. If I gave you McEvoy, I would have to rely on Vardy...
that's the thing isn't it, i need looey to come up and be premium all season (unlikely) or majic DAW to break out and play every game at the level zorko did last season in his first senior year (unlikely)
so the vipers may have rucking issues this season, but it wouldn't be fantasy football if there weren't issues

Write Kathmandu off at your peril. If we go BOOM, we'll soar massively.
Lake - Bock - Hibberd - Dempster
Pendlebery (C) - Ebert - Masten - Hannebery
Ryder
Rioli - Dahlhaus - Christensen - Blair
Ellard - Byrnes/Embley
Well that would have to be a big BOOM to threaten us ;)
I do like the look of your team though, but I think it just has a few too many mid pricers over true premiums.
Get around the Strikers with recently converted Sri Lankan, Daisy Thomas ;D
B: Suckling, Golby, ScottD, Grundy
M: Sidebottom, Jack, Simpson, Gibson
R: Jacobs
F: Thomas, Clark, Kennedy, Westhoff
U: Scully, Conca
Evening gentlemen, I copy and pasted the above teams so we need the rest of you to post in the below thread so we can get them all and get the favorites sorted,

M: Dangerman, Gaff, Trengove, Wallis
R: Smith
F: Vickery, Matera, Butcher, Lynch
U: Wingard, Milera
EM: C Smith, Gorringe, Cameron, D Smith
Ok so i'm relying on some 2nd and 3rd year players to stand up but we can compete 8)

*UAE Tigers (JROO8) is unlucky to miss out on top 4 by my predictions, but if a couple of his players breakout/return to old form, he will definitely be in the mix.
After the draft I thought Nails would have been favourite but, I can't see him taking it out now - doesn't have the midfield to match any of the other contenders.
Nice work with that comparison ada :)
I like the fact that a month ago our backline looked absolutely showerhouse, but the recruitment of Hanley & Hurn have it looking like it is ready to match it with the rest of ya 8)
Reckon it'll be pretty tight tho, all of our midfields, forward and back lines are looking pretty even imo. Fair chance it could come down to injuries and our sides' depth!

you're spot on there Toga.....another thing that has an impact is players who are rested at that time of the year

That's the thing... Sportsbet is forward line dominant. Our forward line probably out averages all the midfields in the comp except one with Swan...
We have the 4th and 15th highest overall average in the comp in our fwds.
We also have a pretty premium mids, all averaging 125-130.
EDIT: Once you factor in Swan mids have Foley, we probably out average them all. Also with Lions becoming big improvers, I see J. Brown lifting up to a 120-125 ave.
goal kicking midfielders dominate sportsbet. Enter BEAMS....
and goal kicking ruckmen are the key, ryder, roughead and cox must be the first three considered
Buddy goes alright too,
Dongs are old and injured.
Quote from: whatlez on February 07, 2013, 12:43:45 AM
Dongs are old and injured.
And suspended, Scotland, Montagna and Kelly are all suspended for round one
They're actually a lot younger than they appear to be.
Though I've probably traded in a few oldies when I should've kept it younger
It was pretty young-ish to begin.

http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,71148.0.html
Get involved everyone.
Did a quick (didn't double for captaincy) estimation based off 2012's points
DEF: Beau Waters 121, Danny Stanley118, Paul Duffield110, Jared Brennan 96 = 445
MID: Joel Selwood 136, Shane Tuck 136 , Sam Mitchell 133, David Mundy 115 = 520
RUC: Ben McEvoy 110
FWD: Dustin Martin 113, Jordan Lewis 120 , Nick Riewoldt 122 , Sharrod Wellingham 110 = 465
UTI: Nathan Fyfe 117, Daniel Cross 115 = 232
Adamant average: 1,772
D - Grimes 120, Scotland 122, McPharlin 94, Newman 93 = 429
M - Kelly 128, Montagna 129 , Griffen 126, Anthony 125 = 508
R - Roughead 125
F - Franklin 150, Pavlich 136, Bartel 127, J. Brown 112 = 525
Int - Kornes 117, Hayes 123 = 240
Hong Kong Average: 1,827
Now I didn't take the sub games out, but that should slightly favour Ada with Mundy and Fyfe getting a bit of a boost... but not a 50 point boost.
However not including a double captaincy score cancels that out...
As Franklin 150x2 = 300 vs. Tuck 136x2 = 272..
Makes up a larger difference than if we were to take sub games into account. It'd be an extra 28 points in our favour with the captaincy.
fyfe will smash that 117 average more like 140 this season for him, maybe anthony will lift a bit too it's hard to call both of you have pretty much all maxed out players. Mitchell had a shower season too but he might be past it?
going to be tight at the top, but then again all my kids will break out for 150+ average seasons this year and we will take the whole thing out while you guys look for supplements to keep your old dogs running ;D
Good work Nails, but even taking out Mundy and Fyfe's sub affected games, their average is still SEVERELY affected.
Realistically, Mundy and Fyfe will both go 135+ next year providing they stay fit. Fyfe in particular could go 140-150.
Brennan had a horror season, he'll bounce back to the 100+ mark.
Martin also had a horror season and still averaged 113. Imagine what he'll do this year after a killer pre-season...
Duffield, Tuck, NRoo and Cross all have sub affected games ruining their averages too.
Not to mention your oldies in Scotland, McPharlin, Newman, Bartel, Cornes and Hayes all on the decline.
Taking all that into account, my team will outscore yours, but it will be very close.
Adam, you realise Mundy has never even touched 135 average in his career?
Most of our players should improve and if you take a look at your depth... you're in trouble.
We got 90s average defender cover
115+ midfield cover
and 100+ fwd cover
If your team were to trade out Wellingham or similar... You'd have to play Staker as a fwd in the first 6 rounds. He'll be struggling for 85.
Trade a starting mid, your best 2 options are either Rischi or Moloney... good luck getting 95+ out of them
You're probably equal or slightly weaker in the back cover department.
Anthony, Griffen, Roughead, Buddy, J. Brown should all improve.
135 is crazy for Mundy, he has never got close to that and he's screwed if Fyfe goes down. Has a TERRIBLE average with Fyfe out, cause he gets smashed w/ tags etc.
Mitchell should go down hill he's older than any of our top 4 mids. Mundy is injury prone. Tuck should go downhill. Nick Roo getting old. Wellingham will be playing a tagging role and drop average @ WCE. Cross is getting on 30yo this season. Fyfe's should could go POP any minute.
You guys are forgetting a few teams rated as highly as yours one higher.
The Folders - Captain Swan + the highest ranking
The Dolphins - Captain Ablett
The Lambs - Captain Murphy (meh)
You need to remember these guys will destroy opposition teams when their captains go nuts.
Swan top 10 scores for 2012:
249 , 235, 227, 222, 218, 190, 187, 170, 166, 160
Ablett top 10 scores for 2012:
238, 234, 215, 202, 201, 189, 187, 180, 174, 172
Franklin can match those scores, and when he kicked 15 he scored 327 but that happened once only next highest was 191.
The Vice captain should help us too though. Provided Pav doesn't drop off too far.
220, 213, 190, 166, 165 and 162.
Quote from: Nails on February 07, 2013, 03:32:48 AM

220, 213, 190, 166, 165 and 162.
yes two power forwards was a good strategy, and this is wh we just HAD TO HAVE the vice captain rule, those elite few as captains give a very strong advantage, however Swan and Ablett won't play forever....
BUT BEAMS WILL
Imagine a week where we had Buddy C and Pav VC
Buddy 320 Pav 220....
Record setting AXVs score there just w/ C and VC lol
Pendles + Ebert will smash you all.
Kieren Jack and Steele Sidebottom is a lethal C/VC combo. 135+ players both taken in the first round of our draft :o
Murphy might not have the greatest 2012 stats but we feel he is a good captain option, Mick should help him improve and when he breaks those tags that 140 (unsubbed) average could well turn into 155 8)
Also don't forget about our VC Ryan O'Keefe who averaged 155 over the last 5 rounds of 2012. Or another leadership option in JRoo who will once again dominate and go 200+ against weaker teams!
Get ready for the lambs! 8)

Hmmm the best young midfield in any XV competition in the world
Dangerfield, Gaff, Wallis, Trengove, that's the four, but add Toumpas, Wingard, Clay Smith, Macrae
There is no way anyone will compete with these guys going forward
Quote from: Jayman on February 07, 2013, 10:44:48 PM

haha :D
In BXV I have David Swallow, Wallis, Brad Ebert it's a pretty good midfield for a 3 prong attack
Then Conca should come along one day. or Gysberts or McKenzie
Anthony is still kind of young?
and Elliot Yeo is a jet to be.
Im with tbag here - that is set to be an absolute ripper midfield, if it isnt alreadt
Tbag will have a reasonable midfield. Guys like Wingard, Clay Smith wont be that fantasy dominant
If we player SuperCoach i'd be very, very happy. But we don't, i'm still confident all these guys will hit some ripper numbers going forward
Lol who's the baked with cheese, bacon, onion and colslaw spud that doubts Chad Wingard ;D

Losing Clancee hurts, hopefully doesn't hurt us too much. Here's to Stanton kicking arse!

Hey lads KoopKicka has accepted me as his assistant for the Eskimos so I thought I'd say hi.
I believe we still have a number of movements left in this trade period so we'll be looking to strengthen our team. I've already identified to KoopKicka some players I think we should target so expect a few messages.
Good luck everyone. There looks like some good sides around, not just for this season but several building for the future as well.
Welcome mate, I'm sure you will be a great addition to a great competition :)
Welcome mate :)
Welcome Memph. :)
The Lambs are always up for a good ol' trade ;)
Just to let you know that the Dolphins were keen to secure the services of Memph too.
Good luck with that lot!
The Dongs were considering sending Memph an offer, but as our 1 Assistant has gone above and beyond the call of duty, decided he were better off at one of the poor clubs which are in need in the competition.

Welcome Memph, good to have you on board.
WB-5 is now a new member of the Gazelles administration as the new Assistant Coach. I would like to personally welcome WB-5 to the AXV and the FF community and hope he can be apart of success at the Gazelles.
I'm sure it's been mentioned before at some stage but I can't remember, will there be a reserves competition running this year?
@ Noz - Welcome WB-5 hope you enjoy it here :)
@ BB67th - I doubt there will be, it would require someone reliable and dedicated enough to run it week in week out, to formulate teams and scores collect and post results, maintain a ladder etc. etc.
if there is someone who steps forward to do it and i can be convinced it will be done 100% properly and not fall apart or end up in a shambles I will support it going ahead.
there was talk of it months ago but I have heard nothing since so at this stage it is not happening.
Didnt JB say he would run it?

I will need all the details on it and his plan and set up and structures so I know what he plans to do and how he plans to do it.
the last i heard it was a suggestion and an idea, far from a reality, but if he has all the info for me and has it all organised i'll be happy to sign off on it

If he wants to still he can.

ok so you can do it but don't get sick of it after a few rounds so i have to delete the thread and all memory of it from AXVS :)
lot of work for you mate but happy for you to do it and pleased you are willing to.
let me know if you need any help throughout (no not in collecting scores every round i will be doing enough of that already)
but if you need posts deleted from your thread or any minor assistance let me know.
Good on ya JB, would be great to have a reserves running as well. Its nice and simple as well, which is good.
The great thing about rivalries is...
I find that my team and ada's team are both top 4 favourites.
Adam and I are rivals :o
So in rivalry round it'll be 2 of the big dogs (imo) going at it, with no HGA. A pure and fair match, one which will truly reveal the best team between them that round, no HGA required.
Same here Nails. Folders vs Lambs. Let's see who the front-runners are at that stage of the season 8)

What's the go with the Llamas Captain Mitch Wallis >:( 5 possessions and 1 tackle >:( I'm going to have a word with him at half time and kick his arse
Young Llama Clay Smith has dazzled in the CW Cap match v the Gazelles, in the second match he had a score of 63 from 14 possessions, he didn't play the first game but it was still a nice start from the promising ball winner

Dont complain then
Why? I will complain if the sellout Demetriou takes 1.3 billion and takes the game away from the average person, why wouldn't I complain?
Because the game is a business so needs to make money. Demetriou has done a lot more for the game then you ever have.
And the average person can still watch it, either pay for it or goto the pub. Constantly crying on a forum isnt going to help you in any way watch it.
What does he possibly need 1.3 billion dollors for? The game is more for the people than a buisness, it's a sport first and a buisness after, fox should never have stolen it and the government shouldn't have let them
Keep crying and il keep enjoying the footy.
there is in his defence (afl's) defense more afl on interstate free to air TV than there has EVER been in the new tv deal, so can't complain at all.
i agree with tbag sport on tv should not have to be paid for, but to be honest the free to air tv stations wouldn't want the nab cup not enough ratings and revenue from adds to justify it over their normal programming.
and tv is paid for on free to air tv, just by advertisers instead of by us through a subscription :)
so even if they could i doubt nab cup would be on free to air tv.
on a side not.
The trade window will now close at 2PM tomorrow QLD time. :)
Ooooh and a punch to the stomach from Stevie J who will be on report there for trying to take out Ballantyne. Will he be suspended for round 1?

i meant greene's first season was better than i think wines ( or anyones ever again) will be.
he broke a lot of records for a first year player.

real bugger for the young bloke. could well have been his breakout year this year as well :-[
Before the game Rowe was talking about him being an All Australian and Brownlow bolter like Dangerfield :o
Dunno about that lol ::)
Rowey tends to get a bit carried away lol, I don't read too much into what he says ::)
I love Roweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee just so bias :D
Am calculating the last players for the Saints now, have them all so will update the CW Cap page soon
Please let me know if I missed something, thanks

some high draft pick guns breakout in their 3rd season, MANY breakout in their 5th season, I think Wingard looks to be a 5th season variety, but I also think he WILL be a player for sure.

waiting for the reaction..... ;D
Wingard's second season ;) but he did star in the SANFL as a 17yr old just like Toumpas and Trengove, I think he will be good this year and Gaff like good next
Sozza bluffman I couldn't watch the game, probably should have gone to the pub ::)
seems like he was steady enough in game two, don't worry too much about him he will be better than the Dangerman ;)
trade him to me >:(
Can anyone tell me about Brown, Laird and Otten? ???
Tambling, GUN.
Got him super cheap too :) :D :O
All done on the scores, check how your team is going

I must say the Bears backline looks very impressive.
Waters, Duffield, Broughton, Stanley.
Your midfield is also very strong and I think Robinson is better than Martin up front.
However, the forward line is what will make or break your title challenge. Walker and Riewoldt need to have good seasons and Harvey won't be around for six weeks.
I do also think though that Wright>Robinson>Martin this season but only time will tell.
Very hard to pick a winning team in this comp.

Yeah, the forward line is definitely my biggest concern and Nails really runs away with it there. His forward line is very strong with the Buddy and Pav combo.
I think my backline and midfield definitely make up for it though, just hoping that Walker can have a really good season under Mick.
Not too worried about NRoo, he is a massive scorer in this comp as goals are worth a lot. He averages around 125 I think.
I reckon Robinson > Martin > Wright, but I'm a massive Robbo fan and have never really liked Matty Wright for some reason...
Yeah I don't get the hype on Wright either....
Quote from: whatlez on February 18, 2013, 03:08:06 AM

You don't need too ;) hopefully the AFL coaches feel the same way ;D
Wright will be on top who wants to bet me?
I have tried to tell all you all along
Wright > Robbo > Dustin
However Wright and Dustin play 18+ Games
Robbo around 16.
Robbo still bugs me, he was my smokey in 2010, but after a 24 and getting dropped from the side I had to cut my losses. Then I didn't start him in 2011 and he smashed it. Same happened to one of my 2011 smokeys, but I forgot who.

This game really benefits players who kick bags of goals though so it's likely that if Pav, Buddy and Brown all fire Nails will dominate. Roughead is also likely to kick plenty as well.
Nails can you update you list in your team thread please so we can make a proper comparison? I know you have Byrnes and Schulz now, unless you on-traded them.

tbag is in charge of odds, betting so i guess he is responsible for that :) haha maybe once he gets on top of his preseason cap he can get started on that :)
be interesting to see the teams people think will fill out the bottom half of the top 8 1-4 is not too hard to guess at but who fills up 5-8
just like the real AFL that is a HARD CALL.
picking the top and bottom 4 is easy picking who is in the middle and where they finish ??? not so easy
Think you can lock in the Strikers for 5-8, CW!
Alot will have to go right for us to knock the Lambs out for a top 4 spot :-\
Thing is though, my team is still young! Suckling, Golby, Jack, Sidey, Jacobs, Daisy, M.Clark, J.Kennedy, Scully and Conca. All in my starting XV and all 25 or under :D :D :D
Lock the Elephants in the bottom 8 :( lol
With starter Brode out :'(
Haha Wellingham will miss the rest of NAB and might not play round 1 after a trampoline accident.

9th Tor01Doc

14th Monstrum

16th Tbagrocks
The Llamas could still suprise ::)
You have the Strikers, Lambs and Tigers too low
How the frog are the Elephants goiung to finish 10th on the back of one player :o no chance of that
Will have the odds and favorites thread up fairly soon ;)
At this stage it looks like the Dongs, Bears and Folders are the favs, Dolphins and Strikers can challenge
Looks as if 11 teams will be very srtong

Haha sorry Tbag, but don't worry your team will be up there in a few years.
I actually think Lez's team isn't too bad, he has a pretty strong backline, strong midfield, a good ruckmen and Tex up forward.
I reckon Noz's team could be a surprise packet, looking at his team he has quite a few guns and a lot of depth, if he gets any injuires.
I reckon that's a pretty good effort at predictions. On paper the top 9 maybe 10 if lez's boys fire are pretty set.
Think you seriously underrate alot of our player Jroo, just sayin' ;) :(
Hey jroo8 - I agree with your 1 - 7 and with your 10 - 16 exactly.
However you need to swap 8 and 9!

Pretty even XVs, but I think Noz wins just, due to his depth.

Nice work JRoo.
Looks pretty good, but I would have Toga/pickers over BB.
JRoo - I think you have the most improved list.
Adamant looks like Hawthorn.
Ok here's my first guess, still analizing teams though, odds aren't ready yet, still just a rough estimate
Dongs
Folders
Bears
Lambs
Strikers
Tigers
Eskimos
Dolphins
Ales
Gazelles
Head Hunters
Vipers
Elephants
Crocodiles
Llamas
Crabs

the mighty Crabs might finish as high as you predict :P but if Nic Nat has extended problems we could finish slightly lower
I rate tbag's predictions.
People are too used to DT/SC and just look at the mids, but you have to consider the forwards more here as well imo.
That and the fact we have depth. Think about it in your normal DT of 22 players you'll cop like 10 injuries. So in a 15 player comp there'll be around 7 injuries. Considering the standard injury is around 2-3 weeks that's around 18 weeks of a missing player from your best XV just through injury, not including rests, droppings etc.
And I therefore feel we have superior depth which should carry us past the Bangladesh Borings.

12th you have ME 12th,
AXVS now hiring - head coach wanted.....
but really thats not bad i think the elephants may do better and definitely think the dolphins will surprise many think you have the vipers about right, lots of break out candidates however its hard to predict breakouts :) maybe next year for the vipers , more likely 2015.
@ Nails LOL thats great. makes sense but that's going to get you the MINOR premiership, the BEST 15 on GF day will get you the FLAG.
we will see who's best 15 "left" by then gets the job done, nice bit of top 3? 4 ? rivalry going on already....
I reckon we will finish in the 9-13 bracket, reckon swap 12 and 13 around jroo and it looks perfect.
The one thing we have over the comp is our C VC combo potenially scoring over 500 combined every game. Its gonna be an interesting season no doubt.
Tbag hates the Elehants... I have heaps of goal kicking forwards on the bench. If Hansen/Gumby/Tarrant/Patton etc get up then I will go good :) lol
@kk, I think you will rank bottom 4.
Can't believe sou got in Schultz, not like you needed a forward at the Dongs ::) Nice trading though but seriously there's a bunch of contenders
CW so sorry to have you so low :( haven't actually disected the bottom 8 yet, still a work in progress, trading yout two best players won't help ::) But Thommo will be 31 soon but........ (imo is about to have his best season, Sando's training got to the players last year, he shouldn't be tagged with Sloane and Danger also Wright ;) becoming the dzanger men)
Thommo is set for his most prolific fantasy season
These predictions are still a rough guess, am having to search through to get the best 15-18 for all teams, you can help by sending me your team :D ;) Or at least update your team thread with the best 15 + emergencies
Tbag you should drop the Eskimoss down (ranked 14th for that system) and put me and colli up lol. Above mons

How is Crameri or Fasolo a gun forward ??? sorry man but your team is only marginally better than mine due to age
Your midfield won't beat mine and the backs are average, at least the Llamas have highly promising fantasy backmen
Jay Schulz is a nice reserves player to be honest tbag. That's why we wanted him :o
IDK, will either play him in the reserves or J. Brown in the reserve.
Or one of them might be emergency. I'd have to look in the rules regarding emergency cover as I could use Hale who covers 2 lines R/F or Schulz F only... But then what if Roughead is a late withdrawal? And I have Schulz? He only gets half his score? IDK I've got to read the rules regarding that again.
But yeah, got Schulz mainly to be a nice 115-120 depth player.

This is insanity, yes Smith and Watts wil be gun backs, yes the great man will kill anyone
Our midfield is better, but... What if either of Vickery, Butcher, either Lynch + the scoring of Matera, Dev Smith, Milera gun it?
What if Otten steps up? Brown is a star (remeber here Smith is out till atleast R5) Jacobs at North, Batchelor is 20, Shaw loves to rebound
Yeah let's over rate the Elephants and under rate the Llamas ::)
fasolo is abve average may become good, crameri is above average and will stay above average if you ask me.
i like the FAZ the most out of the pair, but who knows it seems to be taking a couple of extra years for bombers players to break out or reach their potential
other example myers, should be there, hurley should be - almost is - monfries should have been there
i just think the bombers are shower at developing their promising players, or seem to be....
Heppell the exeption, Zaha to be alright?
Monfries at Port (though slight hamstring will miss 1-2, not to worry) will be a bargain in DreamTeam
Blah to the Ele forwards ::) We have Vickery, Butcher, Matera, D Smith, Both Tom Lynch's (Crows Lynch can play) Cameron, Milera
Ok not the scoring of the great man but overall we aren't losing points to the over rated Elephants
With all the guns in my team you'd think one of them would be the player I'm most excited about.
However it's not. I'm really excited about Dick Tambling this year. I reckon he's a chance to play well this year, scored awesome in NAB cup rd1. And if anywhere on my team I need someone to stand up it's in the backline. I got him with pick 36 in the AXVs and with a similar pick in the BXVs and inherited him from meow in EXVs. He cost me pretty much nothing, if he lives up to his potential or even close to it, it'll be so exciting.
I hope he can lock a spot in the first 22 for Adelaide and take my team to the next level.
Who are you most excited about?
George Horlin-Smith for me.
Looked great in the NAB the other day, and I set to be one of the leaders of the next-generation cats midfield. Will be a star! 8)
Also looking forwards to seeing what our skipper Marc Murphy can do under Mick - reckon he's in for a bigger season than a lot of you expect ;)
Nat Fyfe for me.
Johnny Butcher, Andrew gaff and my boy Luke Brown
Ring-a-ding a hong kong dong
Tambling is marking and kicking it long
From half back to the half forward flank
With his kick it won't be a shank
For this is the year he shows what he can do
Yes, that includes beating Adamant too
For Tambling will help us stand up and rise to the top
It will be Adamant and others that we stop
Thanks mainly to the man known as the one and only Dick Tambling
I think it's about time I stop rambling
l'm excited about all nearly our whole list, watch out guys in a few years we'll be unstoppable
Have a look at our list and be scared, very very scared.......you're all on borrowed time ;)
Backs
Harry O'Brien, Steven Morris, Jake Carlisle, Luke Tapscott, Sam Docherty c/b, Matthew Buntine, Jackson Allen, Kristian Jaksch, Jason Ashby, Dean Terlich, Richard Newell (r)
Mids
Jack Steven, Dion Prestia, Adam Treloar, Jaeger O'Meara, Brad Crouch, Taylor Adams, Jared Polec, Jesse Lonergan, Sebastian Ross, Mitch Grigg, Jackson Merrett, Jesse Stringer, Lachlan Dalgleish (r), Matthew Arnot, Cam Eardley (r), Tim Broomhead (r), Josh Thomas, Josh Cowan
Rucks
Nic Natanui, Jonathan Griffen, Luke Lowden
Forwards
Tom Hawkins, Jack Darling, Chris Dawes, Steven Motlop, Leroy Jetta, Brent Macaffer, Daniel Menzel, Joe Daniher, Jake Stringer, Tim Membrey, Daniel Markworth (r), Frazer McInnes, Ariel Steinberg, Eric "The Beast' Walllace (r)
.....we just need some more quality youth in our baclkline and some elite young support for Nic Nat (but we've got a couple of seasons to do that)

That's cute. My midfield will be the best in years to come. I have at least 8 prems for min 5 years and 12-15 on max :)
No chance your midfield will ever match mine
You are still counting on Whitefield and Wines here, we are not as relient on Toumpas ans Macrae, who can match Whitey and Wines anyway, get over yourself man ::)
I'm most excited about ;
1. Nails song writing
2. Beams proving me right
3. The Breakouts
Sam Blease
Luke Parker
David Myers
Jeremy Howe
Billie Smedts
Kane Lucas
Patrick Karnezis
Majak Daw
bit optimistic? lets see
My midfield will easily beat both of yours anyway.......so really your just arguing about 2nd prize :P
To be honest Colli, I think you made a mistake by taking Karnezis over Cornelius.
Cornelius should play rd1 imo and will have a chance to lock in a spot and play 22. Was the best fwd at our intra-club and should show what he can do during the NAB cup.
I dare say he'd have the best grab in the entire Lions' outfit. He has an OUTSTANDING pair of hands. Should be a great player just needs to work on things that aren't taking a mark a little bit more.
EDIT: He kicked 13 goals 5 in 7 and a half games. Should take it up a notch this year.
Nost you have zero backs lol and forwards are aright.

it was touch and go, but the midfield abilities / development of karpark made me choose him, may be worthless until traded but think he could become a player.
would need some injuries to get enough game time this season to breakout tho, cornhole might be good this season but i think he is in the same boat a year or two away and depending on a couple of other players may need to move clubs for more opportunities.
key fwds and even lead up fwds take ages to develop and are hard to pick, just look at all the top draft pick fwds the bulldogs have that just are not getting there.....
Corndawg is close.
He did have 2 games last year where he kicked bags of 4.
A bag of 4 against Gold Coast, you'd expect as much. But he also kicked 4 goals against North in a match the Lions lost. In his 8 games (7 and a half once you consider times he was subbed off) he scored at least 1 goal in 7 of them.
A goal in every game he played except against Geelong where he was matched up on Scarlett and the Lions only kicked 4.17
He's beginning to impress me already to be honest.

The rookie draft, i advise you to pick him up and you said he was a spud ;)
Am chasing the premiership in Euros and I desperately needed non-development players in the Euros Rookie draft. To be honest not sure why I never picked him, I think the other players I was drafting suited our premiership chasing needs better.
fact is the lions have PLENTY of that kind of fwd, corndawg and carpark seen to be struggling to find a spot in the 22, and now you have martin there also.
add to that the lions drafted 3 tall fwds last season 3 or maybe 4 more this season....
makes one think they don't rate the ones they have....
who knows, but corndawg has shone when given senior games and carpark dominated at the lower level playing in the midfield, and i'm not sure either will get any more games this season than they did last season.
that's the problem with the lions they have too much talent all at that level of development and they don't seem to get enough games into any of them to get them up to the next level - e.g. polec

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, why don't you make a prediction ;)
I've just had a browse through the team list thread and here are my predictions on how the ladder will end up. I don't think this will indicate the premiership though as by that time injuries/form will be a big factor. Also a team's captain and vice captain combo will play a big part.
There are also definitely a number of other factors that may come into play here, including the fixtures. Also the numbers on the list thread is not a good indicator (i've tried to pick starting XV from there rather than use the numbers) because of the Sportsbet scoring. I've counted at least 13 extra points our team should have which means I'm sure other teams could be adjusted as well.
For example Jonathon Brown and Nick Riewoldt should start the season like a house on fire due to easy fixtures (Riewoldt plays both GC and GWS in his first 5 and Brown plays the Bulldogs, Melbourne and Gold Coast).
Which means both Nails and Adamant will gun it up from rounds 1-5. Toga on the other hand should finish with a flourish when Tippet returns from his suspension and could easily push up the ladder.
I think there are also a few distinct levels in this competition which I have separated. So I expect the top 5 to challenge for the flag, the next five to battle it out for three spots in the 8, the last five to battle to avoid the bottom four and I'm afraid the Llamas to finish last.
Honk Kong Dongs (Nails)
Bangladesh Bears (Adamant)

Tibetan Llamas (sorry tbag, prove me wrong)
I like it meth. Just me over Maca/Sid ;)
Go tibet!! lol
Why the Llamas are underated
Ben Jacobs 100: to slot into the North half backline, first round draftee with talent
Jake Batchelor 95: 20yrs and ave 15 possessions last season
Sammy Shaw 95: loves to rebound
Andy Otten 100: Showed serious talent early before injury, should be ready to step back up
Luke Brown 90: could be ready to go bang
Andrew Gaff 135: 3rd year top draft pick that people even have in their DreamTeams
Patrick Dangerfield 140: had some outstanding first halves getting over 20 disposals, will be fitter
Mitch Wallis 130: gun bal finding tackling machene
Jack Trengove 125: taken at pick two for a reason, should have gone one
Clay Smith115: 14 disposals in game two of the Bulldogs match
Chad Wingard 115: superstar emerging
Zac Smith 105: should bounce back in his third season, tall, mobile and 23years old
John Butcher 110: kicked 11 goals in his first three games of footy, injured last year and ready to pounce, could go 120
Tom Lynch 115: team to start rising this year nad he's the main target
Ty Vickery 120: loads of talent and could explode
Brandon Matera 115: should keep finding the ball at half forward
Jeremy Cameron 200: not sure just yeat but could do anything
Devon Smith 110: another rising half forward star
Tommy Lynch 115: should he get a gig can be very good, great kick and mark. Had a 35 possession 17 mark game for Glenelg at CHB last season
Go ahead, keep underating us ;)
If all of that happens tbag, ill sell you my whole team for free.
The first few were ridicuous, but the more I read the more of the odsurb predictions continued ::)
then you are wrong
Credibility was completely lost when Vickery averaging 120. Cameron has a better chance at averaging 200 lol

+ 1 some crazy predictions Tbag :P
And Whatlez's Midfiled is better than yours :P
They are just a guess at what could happen, the summary's are fairly accurite of what could or should happen
Are those predicted averages tbag??????????
Massive LOL.
No doubting you'll be a contender in future seasons but Cameron to average 200 and your defenders to all average 90+ is outrageous.
I think you could surprise some teams this season and win a game or two however not all of those players you've listed will start every week which will be your main problem.
Most weeks your team selection will just come down to which rookies are playing rather than you fielding your best XV which will hurt your chances. Also if Dangerfield and/or Gaff misses a game or gets injured your backup captain options are a bit of a lottery.
Is that next years average? One year career max ave or whole career average?
Forget the averages ::) that's just what could happen if they breakout
Quote from: whatlez on February 19, 2013, 04:11:48 PM

Possibly but I have him just ahead of you at this stage based on depth. Like tbag you may have weeks where several first team players could be out.
For example now with Brodie Smith missing your defence doesn't look as good. Who would you start there? Geary? Another defensive injury and you'll be in struggle-town.
PS - Huge blow for JROO losing Sandilands for 8 weeks. Really need Stefan Martin to step up for you (which he could) as I think Jenkins is ahead of McKernan for the Tippett spot.

Even if they breakout Cameron ain't averaging 200 lol.
I actually rate Matera as your best forward and think barring injury he will average the highest for you this season. I wouldn't be surprised if he hit that average. He's a jet and I hope he'll return home to play at West Coast in the future.
Also how do you see Brown, Shaw and Otten fitting into the Adelaide team?
In 2012 they played a season between them (23 games). Now you're expecting them to each play a full season...

That's why we wanted Pedersen as he'll be a regular starter and can cover Ryder if he goes down with injury (or gets banned lol). I wasn't confident of Redden, Currie or Derickx playing regularly and being available when we needed them as cover although I think all three should get some game time this season.
Bad luck JRoo :(
I'm glad we didn't end up trading for him ::) :-X
Also JROO there's no way I'm locking in your new profile pic. Spud - change it back.

Possibly but I have him just ahead of you at this stage based on depth. Like tbag you may have weeks where several first team players could be out.
For example now with Brodie Smith missing your defence doesn't look as good. Who would you start there? Geary? Another defensive injury and you'll be in struggle-town.
PS - Huge blow for JROO losing Sandilands for 8 weeks. Really need Stefan Martin to step up for you (which he could) as I think Jenkins is ahead of McKernan for the Tippett spot.
:'( :'( :'( yep
Need Martin to stand up and this is why I want to keep Pedo, so at least he can play in the ruck until Sandi comes back
That's why we wanted Pedersen as he'll be a regular starter and can cover Ryder if he goes down with injury (or gets banned lol). I wasn't confident of Redden, Currie or Derickx playing regularly and being available when we needed them as cover although I think all three should get some game time this season.
That's why we recruited the entire Hawks' ruck division. If the top ruck goes down, we use their 2nd, he goes down we use their 3rd.

Maca/Sid have better depth? Really? Surely not. My Backline is close to the best, maybe Noz has me. Plenty of forward backups who could fire on occasion. Rucks are alright, shaky and my mids depth is short after Wines and Whitfield.
But depth? Really?

You're the Elephants right whatlez?
Your defence is one of the best????? Would be overstatement of the year if not for tbag's ridiculous predicted averages for some of his players. It has good potential but no way Watts, Rance, Smith/Geary and Nicholson will be the highest scoring back four in this comp.
The Bears starting backline is by far the best IMO without even looking at Noz.
Waters, Broughton, Stanley, Duffield (R Murphy).
Although close behind are the Folders/
Goddard, Reilly, Johnson, Mackie. (Gilbert/Merrett).
Noz has a good defence (Shaw, Grima, Atley, Fisher. Emg: Ellis) but even so I don't think it's the second best.
Other defences I'm confident will outscore yours this season include.
Lambs: Houli, Lake, Hanley, Bock/Malceski
Ales: Birchall, Butler, Pearce, McKenzie
Dongs: J Grimes, Scotland, McPharlin, Newman.
Tigers: Hartlett, Yarran, Harbrow, Dempster
Unfortunately our defence is probably one of the worst in the league lol :P
I meant best depth in the backline... I have 8-10 young players will average consistently well and will get many games. Didn't mean in scoring abilities atm.
back lines smack lines
we have backs
Hurn , Chaplin , Reid , Dempsey , Howard , Myers , Suban , Armstrong
don't laugh this lot may surprise a lot of people this season, well if half do we'll be better than we look :o
Ineed and I agree, a bit like the underated Llama defence ::)

Like whatlexz your backline has plenty of potential as well.
Hurn is already a gun player, he just isn't quite as good fantasy wise however he is still youngish (despite looking 32).
I rate Dempsey, Myers and Howard and I think if Chaplin can get his body right he'll be a hit at the Tigers. Although as a key back he may not score as well as you'd like, Suban and Armstrong also have plenty of room for improvement if they can crack the starting lineup at their respective clubs.
As from Chaplin all these guys are run and carry defenders which bodes well for the future although those players I would think would score better in DT than this game where marks and tackles have more of an impact on defender scores.

This is why I didn't include them in my prior list of teams with top backlines.
Vlastuin is only going to average 70-80 max this season I think (probably more like 65). Also Adcock and Brennan are very inconsistent - one week they'll score 110+ the next it will be 60-70.

Ok guys the big announcement l'm making is in regards to the mighty Crabs' coaching panel.
We're pround to announce that joining our ranks as an Assistant Coach will be Greenmoon
He's a keen contributor the the FF forums and we see him being a real asset to our team
Yep I'm not sold on the font either... Will change that.
But the circle in the logo is Asia, and the region shown encompasses all of the teams in this comp!

surprised to see the article in DT would have thought him more a SC player he is very effective and efficient, I would consider him for SC but I'll still take chaplin over him and many others if chaplin is fit for round 1 in SC that is.
still newman in the midfield could bode well for you AXVS side Nails.

spud was supposed to me my ivan maric of defence for 2013.
Yeah he's more fantasy relevant in SC. However it's due to him playing in defence pretty much his entire career yeah? Don't know much about the bloke.
A total role change could change him from mostly SC relevant to a possession slut and VERY DT and SC relevant.4

he is a key defender but with lake (at his best) fantasy potential, he was/is set to be the main man down back for hte tigers this season, set everything up and switch through him, plus usual SC friendly last line of defence.
Freako (prospectus) says, "Remember Ivan Maric last year? Chaplin will come out and dominate in defence this season, GET ON!"
last 3 seasons in SC averaged 81 86 88, DT about 10 point less every season, typical for a key defender.
I was talking about Newman ;D
I trusted you when you didn't rate Chaplin much, I should have kept him :( lol
Meh.
Quote from: Nails on February 21, 2013, 01:05:31 AM

Meh.
chaplin will be totally useless for sportsbet and Dream team, you were right to trust me , he will average 80 in sportsbet and 70 in dream team just like he always does.
i am purely talking him up for super coach as is the prospectus. doesn't get enough of it for these other comps.
the only reason i took him is i have no reliable defenders ( didn't have hurn at the time)
Sounds to me more like Newman is slowly being pushed out as the Tigers look towards the future more than Newman being given more opportunities.
They obvious want to give some younger players a chance in defence - players who will be around when the Tigers are challenging for top 4 (not this season yet).
He's not going to be in my dream team, I think he could actually go backwards and get a few vests or be 'rested' from a few games because of this.
Besides - who is he going to displace in the Tigers midfield?
The player I'd be looking to get is whoever is going to take his spot in Richmond's defence, or whoever is freed up by Newman moving to the midfield.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-02-20/suban-in-the-centre
Sorry to burst your bubble Colli but to breakout a player actually has to play the season and show than he's increased his average by 10-15 points.
Suban is 23 (or more) games away from breaking out :P
I do rate him though and think this could definitely be his year but pre-season reports are definitely not always the best to go off.
Although if you're claiming Suban then we'll take Liam Jones (who I helped procure in a trade).
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-02-20/jones-to-step-up (http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-02-20/jones-to-step-up)
The reasons I think he was a good pick up are as follows.
- Key forwards who take marks, kick a bag and monster their opposing defenders score well in this game, a lot more so than in dream team (probably because goals are worth 12 points and marks 4 points whereas the value of handballs is reduced in this game compared to other stats).
- While Jones struggled last season he has the physique and is still young and showed something in 2011. KPP always take longer to develop than other players, with a few exceptions
- The Bulldogs didn't sign anyone else in the off-season despite trying to get Dawes and Gumbleton so they have to make do with what they have. With Roughead heading to defence (CHB) this means Jones will get plenty of chances this season to cement a spot.
I think this season he'll show signs that he can be a good player and there will be a few games where we'll regret he was on the bench/not playing.
And next season he should start putting out some more regular good Sportsbet scores.
yeah suban is a good chance to play maybe vested maybe not may increase his average - has to really its shower....
Jones is a key fwd, high draft pick, the kid had potential, probably still does, it just takes a long time and playing in the dogs fwd line probably caused it to take longer than normal.
if not this year, next year it will happen, but i think he has to make it happen soon as he only has so much time to step up and there are a few tall fwds on the dogs list i think are in the same boat.
Get around ScottyD! Looking very good, solid 54 DT
Key to my top 4 hopes IMO
Goldstein's good ::) His team mate Jacobs will score well tonight ;D where the frong was Jimmy the Gun >:( sheesh i'm getting so many have game players this round, and we rested out two captains of course ::)

toumpas was my first pick in my DT this season all preseason until i first posted my team and everyone laughed at me.
GUN - but maybe a little too expensive, I'm not paying $80K extra if the cheaper guys stand up, which it looks like plenty are / will .
MARIC = LOCKED best ruck after cox and nicnat hands down!
Tending to agree about going Ivan, could still be tempted by McEvoy if it looks like Hickey won't affect his, and a smokey, JJ :o but only because of the trading, should make cash to then get the best if Cox is forward
Tried to tell everyone about Jimmy :P I think ir was 28 ave disposal in the U18 champs and BOG for Eagles in the senior GF in 2011 8)

Don't worry about next week it's a rolling lockout, only this week counts as lockout
You shouldn't have donoughts, you can swap/trade anyone at any time before they play like SC
It seems I have got it wrong and am very sorry :-[
looking through the thread I said a number of times only those that play will count
So guys, yes you can swap any unplayed from last week ;)

Breaking news from Mongolia!
Quote from: Toga on February 24, 2013, 06:20:23 PM
In breaking news head coach Toga (http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php?action=profile) is pleased to announce two new happenings at Mongolian Lambs FC.
(http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/1154/feelthewrath.png)
"First things first, we at the lambs are pleased to announce the launch of our new membership campaign for 2013, spearheaded by skipper Marc Murphy. We at the Lambs feel as though our new campaign will be important to our success this year, as the boys really do benefit from having a strong supporter group behind them at home matches, it really does give us an advantage over travelling teams."
Captain Marc Murphy also had a few words to say about the new range of memberships: "I've worked hard with the coaching staff at the lambs over the past few weeks on this membership campaign, and, using my photogenic qualities, feel as though we have come up with an impressive campaign. Not only visually pleasing, we have some great merchandise that can be packaged with some of the memberships, such as this lamb costume (http://www.baxterboo.com/images/products/large/lil-sheep-dog-costume-zack-zoey-1.jpg) that is included in our pet's memberships, and this costume (http://img.costumecraze.com/images/vendors/disguise/5848-large.jpg) that is packaged in our kiddie's memberships. I want to just say a big thanks to everyone who has signed up as a member for 2013 so far, and encourage all of our fans that haven't done so as of yet to do it now, you won't regret it!"
Toga and Marc has asked that anyone wishing to enquire about our new club membership opportunities by PM, which can be done by following the link below.
(http://www.fontspace.com/preview/m/9e04432fea9380255a87e177fde7cb3b.png) (http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=7788)
In even more exciting news, the club is happy to announce that they are set to shift their home ground tomorrow to the Beijing National Stadium ('Bird's nest') (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beijing_National_Stadium) in China. Toga has announced that the capacity of Ulaanbaatar Stadium is just not adequate enough to accomodate all of the Lamb's loyal fans in their premiership assault in 2013, and so a deal has been struck with the capital city of the neighbouring China. Chinese and Mongolian government sports officials have agreed to allow the Lambs to play home games in Beijing for 2013, despite continuing to train at Ulaanbaatar's National Sports Stadium and Shanghai Stadium in China.
Toga says: "We feel as though the extra 60,000 fans we will be able to seat at the Bird's Nest will be very beneficial to us in the long run, as we are not only able to fit more local Mongolian's into home games now, but we will also be able to expand our supporter base to the more than one billion people currently living in China. We have also struck a deal with China Railways (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Railways) that will allow Lambs fans to travel to and from the Bird's Nest for free with any basic membership package."

Any chance we can discuss the cap here? It gets tricky when going back through the thread looking for changes to your teams :)
CW will have Karnizes
thanks tbag makes sense.
yeah discuss it here
and on a side note how good does the team list thread look
everyone tell adamant how great his banners look !
GWS how good are the young guns - I have 9 :) not going to help me much in 2013 ::)
Very happy with Dev Smith
The Cameron Patton battle is only just beggining
Patton = 96
Cameron = 69 :'(
as per your last post in the cap thread, warnock out kanrezis in, first 15 of my 20 to play karnezis played warnock did not.
disappointing that i need that towering spud ot play fwd for the blues this season and for the vipers.
Some named Sydney players that didn't play, what to do here, to bad? What if some had emergencies and some didn't?
I think we need to name 15 + 3 emg next time

didnt everyone name 20?
if some people had players who did not play out of there 15 in the last round then none of us should get a player out of our 20 - but then naming 20 and having the first 15 who play count is why i named 20 and also why i got stuck with smedts score.
think next time the rules can be a little clearer and stricter but dont think you can do much about the rules now - ironically it hurts the people who bothered to pick 15 not just 20 ....
up to you how you handle it your call will be final like it or not.

Thanks for "popping in" Os, hard to keep track of anything running Worlds, Elxam and now a British team :) We are getting there, I get a lot of help, very active good bunch of coaches we have.
See you at the champion League, well my Vipers probably won't but we'll send a few Asians over to collect the silverware.

Agree, great work Colli
Round # 2 CW Cap - NAMES LIKENESS Round
Don't forget to submit your 15 with 3 emergancies and a Captain under 51 AFL games
LAMBS v LLAMAS, both furry farm animals
CRABS v DOLPHINS, live in the ocean
VIPERS v CROCODILES, nasty reptiles
FOLDERS v DONGS, both are things
ALES v STRIKERS, a striker can be a pitcher, a pitcher can be a beer
ESKIMOS v HEAD HUNTERS, both are people
ELEPHANTS v BEARS, large animals
TIGERS v GAZELLES, tigers eat gazelles
Great work tbag, and in a realistic first round hitout the Vipers who rested star captain Beams, and appointed spud parker captain still came through with flying colours to record a solid victory over their feeble rival club :)
Well that was all a lot of bloddy work ::) all done though ;D It's ok Toga is helping by doing the ladder to give us a break, then we do it all again next week ::) :P
I thought about how to make the non inclusions fair and felt that simply having the first play from your list was as fair as any, sorry to anyone who doen't agree but something had to be done
So now that that's all done I can see what else is happening in FanFooty ;D and the rest of the world of sport!
Would have started earlier but my foxtel came and it won't work >:( dam nazi's, had to run around for hours trying to get it ::) still won't go, got to wait two days for a technition ::) dam nazi's! :P

Our team looks about right although I'd be inclined to start Harper and Embley for us ahead of L Jones and Ellard but that's a matter of personal opinion which I'll discuss with KK later.
Also I imagine there may be some more team changes if Ric does any trades.
Also maybe I'm blind but I just looked and did a Ctrl+F search and I can't find Cox in any of these teams, either in the Ruck or Forward lines.
That has to be an oversight surely - who has Cox?
Noz (Turkey) has him.
But the Gazelles aren't even listed there!
How does this all look Coaches? Any changes just say so :) Ok all 16 clubs now

Sorry tbag, you're doing a great job but Boyd is now listed for two teams - Bears and Gazelles. And while you're at it Atley is listed both in defence and on the bench for the Gazelles as well.
This is what happens when people don't update their teams either in prospective lineups or more improtantly their own team threads ::)
So which teams do they actually play for?
D - Grimes, Scotland, Tambling, Newman
M - Stanton(VC), Montagna, Kelly, Anthony
R - Roughead
F - Franklin(C), Pavlich, Bartel, J. Brown
Int - Kornes, Hayes
Emergency: Young, Hale, McPharlin
There you go tbag. Tambling going to kill the NAB, so he's in. I think Chad is injured, so he's out. McPharlin to bench cover.
Not sure where you got Schulz as emerg, idk.

D - Grimes, Scotland, Chad Cornes, Newman
M - Stanton(VC), Montagna, Kelly, Anthony
R - Roughead
F - Franklin(C), Pavlich, Bartel, J. Brown
Int - Kornes, Hayes
Emergencies are:
Mid- Clinton Young (109.5) who looks like (based on NAB cup) he'll kill it at the pies. Hope I named him in my Cap team (not sure if I did)
Fwd/Ruck - I'll probably use the 101 average Hale in this position, however if I feel strongly about Roughead being likely to play I'll upgrade to a Fwd only emerg in the 113 average Schulz
Def - As I'm guessing Newman will average more than McPharlin with his midfield role and now that CCornes is a defender, the 94 ave McPharlin will be our Def emergency.
???
If you read it through properly
It's 1x mid, 1xf/r and 1x def
It's Hale OR Schulz, never both at the same time.

Really Nails? You're going to start Spud Tambling over a potential 100 avg defender in McPharlin who ranked first in total marks and marks per game in 2012?
I might have to reconsider who's my favourite for the Asian XVs title this season if you're going to make spuddy decisions like these.
I suppose though you will come to your senses as Scotland is suspended for the first two games so McPharlin will play rounds 1 & 2 and you'll realise he's 100 times better than Tambling.
Also tbag I believe Boyd is at the Bears now but I'm not sure who moved to the Gazelles in the trade.
The Crabs have traded out Mzungu, current team is in our team thread though
The team will be prety much as you've suggested but there will be a few changes....Macaffer will definately be in again
But l'll post our team a bit later in the week mate
*you're doing a great job Tbag....well done ;)

I was thinking that was team list for AXVs CAp round 2, but now I realise probably not
and McPharlin is behind Newman and Chad Cornes anyway.
Tambling should/will break out this season as shown already in pre-season.
http://www.afc.com.au/news/2013-02-23/crows-sink-dockers-in-a-thriller
Tambling DESTROYED in their trial game vs. Dockers
He also put up some decent/nice numbers in the NAB cup fixtures so far.
Thanks, this isn't for the Cap teams, this is for the full season, trying to get a good starting guide of everyone to get some odds going :D
My lineup is in prospective lineups.
But yeah, it's Hale OR Schulz
When I think Roughead is 100% to play or has Friday night teams so I can be certain he won't be a late withdrawal then we use Schulz
Hale is good as we can cover all 4 spots with 3 players and don't need the 50% penalty.
Here's what i'm going to do, my post is number three in the Prospective-linups thread, I will post all the lineups there, this will be your yearly prospected line up, so I can change it there whenever and everyone can see the teams easliy
Oh and McPharlin starts behind Chad Cornes provided everyone is 100% fit anyway meph
McPharlin only averaged 94 too Meph... so not THAT great. But yeah, who knows, Tambling could destroy.
Chad Cornes is out for most of the year lol
Seriously, how can people not update the their team list/Best XV? I update mine pretty much straight away or even during the negotiation of a trade. It's not that hard.
Btw, Noz should have David Mundy replacing Boyd. Boydy is apart of the mighty Bears. 8)
To save people searching the threads i've posted all the teams in the prospective linups thread, 3rd post on front page :D
Will change it as people change theirs ;) but i'm not searching your team threads anymore for it so if it's changed simply post it :)
All the trades over the first weekend of Nab made it difficult to track players unless I search the official team thread
Still got doubled up players like StevieJ who I believe is CW's now? Please help to get the first 15 right :)
Very hard to seperate teams right through the comp, need to know who is where

Yep that's right. Scotty Thompson, StevieJ and Crozier are now mine, and Hurn, Howe & Grigg are all Colli's.
My team list you posted before is correct.
I am waiting for a response from Tbag, but i am looking to do a new thread just for everyones best 18. ( including the 3 emergencies)
like the team list thread but the best 18 only. and nothing else in the thread just the teams lists.
The prospective team lineups thread is messy.
The CW Cup teams is a different matter and i think that each coach cn just post them for Tbag each round in the CW Cup thread.
If they do not he can just take the first 15 to play off their list which is accurately recorded for all teams on the official team list thread.
maybe also take the first player to play who has under 51 games as their captain ( again if they do not submit a list for round 2).
I would leave the best 18 thread open for coaches to update their best 18 with a post and I can then just update the title post where all the teams 18's will be recorded.
But if anyone is confused or wondering who's list is correct or who has what player.
This is the thread to see for every List which is correct: http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,70532.0.html
SO IF YOU HAVE ANY UPDATES TO YOUR BEST 18 WHICH YOU ALL HAVE BECAUSE THEY NED TO BE POSTED IN THE FORMAT BELOW
WITH ALL POSITIONAL DETAILS LISTED.
* FORMAT AS PER TEAM LIST SUBMISSION RULES
Captain:
Vice Captain:
Emergency Captain/Vice Captain:
DEF: player / player / player
MID: player / player / player
RUCK: player

Big talk from a league that has played a total of 0 matches so far!
Though I admit, the Asian League has been crazy full of posts. I am a bit jealous!
Was wondering if you'd step in and see this :P we played 8 matches last week ;) that's if pre-season counts ::)
No doubting which is the biggest scoring system game though! Worlds is still No 1, untill we win the Champions league ;)

What can we say - Asians love to talk.
Actually if you count pre-season we've played one game :D
We've been champing at the bit so much we just had to stat in NAB Cup 1.

How do we decide who gets the four spots though if the CL runs this season?
About 8 teams which could make a case for their team I think.
I'd say you're right ;) top four teams i'd say
Id say the CL winner will come from either Asia or Europe as they will be the leagues with the biggest gap between the good and bad teams

Which top four tbag? We haven't played a season yet so it's only speculation as to who the top four teams in our comp are at the moment?
I thought the CL wasn't till later in the year? like rd 8-9?
Quote from: tbagrocks on February 27, 2013, 08:11:57 PM

Based on the thread it looks like Holz is advocating it to start Rd 1 with the Knockout Cup starting later around then.

l dont think so 8)
ON CL if Holz has rules in place to select teams before we even play a game great if he does not we will vote on our teams to go to champions league.
Obviously we all want an Asian winner so this is more about representing our league than personal glory, although the personal glory would be massive.
no point going to lose :)
I think the cup starts early this season, but thought the Champions League started mid season, at which point there will be games played and a formula for calculating the best teams in the new leagues (British and Asians).

Winner and new champ. Nost.
Who's Lowden? Would he even play? Or score?
My midfield dominates all over that
are they all still under 21?
My forward line of Cameron and Lynch will beat Daniher and Stringer this year easy, surely Motlop's not U21?
Nup. fail!

Nobody cares about old farts is why Chappy, Boyd, Pav, Goodes and Bartell are being over looked
tbag's u21 is a country mile ahead of nostra's
Would be interesting to have an U21 cup, (across all comps) would be better than a reserves where the teams who have the most playing spuds will win ::)

no the cream "Boyd" rose to the top
Boyd was quiet the first half but he doesn't play a game without 30+ possessions so griffen dropped away as he rose, but maybe griffen was off a bit late in the game didn't see much of him?
also they brought the 2 draftees on in the second half and they got a fair bit of it too
Jones scored 68.
Had he kicked straight he would have scored 101 :(

he was a good get for you, i drafted him, you got him in a 3 way trade.
he has to be played, the dogs need him there is no other option he and cordy just have to keep playing, he may make it, he may not, but he will be given every opportunity over the next couple of seasons.
Handy 156 from Buddy unless super goals count for more :o
He could've kicked another goal too, but decided not to be selfish ::)
Nah super goals don't count, nothing in the SportsBet scoring about super goals :o Buddy becoming a rick to leave out of your teams?
Can anyone tell me why Clay S was quiet in the second and third quarters? ??? scored a nice 96
Wallis coming on just before 3 1/4 time sucked >:( scored 35 in a quarter and a bit, no tackles :o
super goals still count as a normal goal don't they?
They do for dt I think?
EDIT: checked and zero points for super goal.
lame.
Griffen has found some added stats, up to 144
Yeah Buddy found an extra stat too, but take away his super goal still a handy 147

The Dangerman's on track for a 200 game with 100 at Half Time :o
Tor01doc sadly has announced his resignation from AXVS as owner of the Dolphins. Stating time commitments as the reason.
He has been a great addition to the AXVS and a lot of fun to have around I am sure you will all agree he is a big loss to the competition.
I will begin the process of appointing the new team owner today and endeavour to complete that process by the end of the weekend.
Thanks for all your efforts, enthusiasm and banter while here Doc, and I am sure everyone will agree it was a pleasure to have you around and you have left the Dolphins in a strong position to almost certainly feature in finals football in 2013.

:o :o :o :o really? :'( :'(
Doc was great, shame to see him go.
thats a real shame, certainly a loss for our league
Yes, sorry guys, I am going.
Too busy and will not be able to keep up.
If there are 2 things you could do for me they would be
1: always do your best
And 2: vote for Memphiswhatsisname to take over The Dolphins
(Can't think of a better way to get a quick one over my rivals!)
Cheers.
I will be watching you.
Wow, that sucks. Doc was great for the Dolphins and the AXVs and has left them in a great position for the new coach whoever it will be. Loved all his posts as most were filled with humour and great banter. It's a shame, but a great opportunity for (hopefully) someone new to get the job.
:o
What a sad day this is. Will miss you around Doctor - hopefully you can rejoin the XV competitions at some stage
Sorry for introducing you to this game all those months ago ;D
Damn so sad to see, you definately brought so much enjoyment to this comp.
Hopefully you can find some time to stick around and post abit, every post of yours is absolute quality.
+1! ;D
:'(
Internet was down again. ::)
Nooo Doc. :'( Always enjoyed reading your posts, you will be missed around the AXVs board. :(
Sad to see you go doc, always great fun to deal with! All the best!
As you are all aware I have put the matter of the new owner of the Taiwan Dolphins to the vote, being between our 2 coaches in waiting.
The results are all in 15 coaches for the remaining teams have voted and the last vote was required to decide the matter 8 to 7
The new owner of the Taiwan Dolphins is Memphistopheles.
SydneyRox, will now be the assured next AXVS team owner should the opportunity arise, provided he has not gained another XVS team by that time.
I am very disappointed for SydneyRox, however very excited and happy to welcome Memph to the fold as the new owner and head coach of the Taiwan Dolphins.
I am sure everyone will join me in welcoming him on board and congratulate him on his appointment.
Couldnt go wrong with either of those 2, both very worth applicants
Well done Memp - thoroughly deserve it
So 7 coaches didnt listen to docs best wishes ::) :P

Docs wishes are Docs wishes, but outgoing coaches do not elect the new team coach/owner... not in any XVS competition.
I am sure 15 of us took his wishes into consideration which is all he asked.
Memph has put the hard yards in and deserves this opportunity, great addition to our competition, and likewise SydneyRox makes a fine candidate for our next in line, and at least now he knows 100% he is next.
Wow thanks guys.
Sad to see tor01doc go but very keen to get started.
Commiserations to SydneyRox but I'm sure you'll get a team shortly.
My first announcement as the team owner is to officially name the Dolphins Fairest and Best award the Doc Medal.
More Dolphins news to come.
Also I'll be looking for an assistant so if anyone knows anyone who might be interested please let me know.
Welcome Memphy, hopefully you have a funny bone ;D Congrats mate

Sorry I should have mentioned that in the PM - No Tor01doc took full advantage of the recent trade period, and his trading saw the teams ranking improve significantly. Only reason I allowed it to Ricochet as his previous team owner was not active in the recent trade window.

Yeah that's cool and fair.
The Dolphins do seem to have a lot of rookies though. Team could do with some sharpening up next summer.
he got stuck with a lot of late compensation picks at the end of the draft due to having a LOT of players delisted.
the good thing is next season you have to delist a player for every player you draft in the National Draft, and to take rookies in the rookie draft you also need to delist rookies. So you get rid of a lot of your spuds that way each season.
this to make room on the lists for the new players as the lists are capped.
you can promote rookies after the season also and delist a senior player to make room for the promoted rookie and this doesn't count as a pick in the national draft or a list movement.
it's all in the rules somewhere :)

Yeah cool. Also did the doc submit a rookie list and/or is there a list somewhere or do I still have to do this?
PS - My team thread is pretty much complete now everyone - check it out.
One more section I want to do before you delete the other thread though Colli (jokes). Might take a while so I won't get around to it today.
no worries it can stay there until you do. dont want to lose the jokes.
you can resubmit me your rookie list of 6 players as soon as you can. that is ok.
No reason to delete the original thread is there? All the AXV records need to be preserved

the AXVS thread will be kept tidy historical things will be kpet pointless things will be deleted.
We can't have multiple team threads.
However I am VERY pleased that Tor01docs jokes are being carried over to the new owners thread, this is preserving the memory/history enough.
Still ... deleting previous team threads makes me sad :-[ :'( so much history there, all the AXV history of a prior owner :-[
Is it just me being precious? I would like to keep any info created about the AXV
did you even notice when the 4 team threads prior to Docs were deleted? or have you forgotten there even were previous owners?
which is kind of the idea?
what happens in 3 years when we have had more and more and more teams change owners.
which i would love not to happen but it will.
what a mess especially for visitors who are not as familiar with the comp seeing multiple team threads and wondering who runs what?
Maybe you can create a History thread and if you like I can copy anything you think is relevant and worth preserving from any thread you like into that ONE thread before I delete anything.?
things like the votes on rules i will be keeping for purposes of confirming the rules and decisions we have made but i intend to merge all those threads into one also.
Yeah I get what you aren saying, of course and haven't really noticed ::) and I agree but ... how good to have that original info?
What is so wrong with having that stuff lost there on the last page or two of the forum? Pity to lose any info I say :-[ History is history, shame if we've already lost some core initial stuff :-\
Not trying to argue but just say'n
good point tbag, I agree I will lock the thread and it will be forced to the end of the board, I will do this with all future things that are worth preserving instead of deleting. I might remane the original thread with the word ARCHIVE at the front of the original title this will also help to show it is not current.
Lucky we have you around aren't we good idea and point well made.
If its soo important just get coaches to list a history in there team thread of previous coaches/b and f winners etc etc
I can't even remember the name of the first coach to quit ::) But I believe the Doc took over? ???
All that history just adds to the stature of the AXV, Oz is already jealous of us ;)
I believe in the history and the XV is the best fantasy football game ever!! Period!! Thanks to Oz, but we have taken over here in Asia! ;D
It is the hisrory that will make the XV's so prestigous in the future, although I wisg FF would be around forever, the info will be, and the idea of XV also, let us keep and tresure what has begun 8)
such a romantic
To preserve the history of our 2013 grand final winner, I'll make a thread right now for it tbag ;)

- Shh everyone I'm trying to keep this one a secret because he will be a gun
- Taylor Walker Taylor Walker Taylor Walker
- Dangerfield is the best thing since slice bread
Lol, but that's actually true
Not enough Cotchin hatred.
Add Dangerfield is better than Cotchin.
Although, danger spud has only played half a dozen games and then he goes on About Cotchin not being consistent. If you call cotchin inconsistent then what do you call danger spud?
I like danger more as a hard inside ball winning midfielder and think he may score more for now - REASON
Cotchin has more class, and SHOULD BE outside, but currently he has to go inside and do the hard stuff, and get tagged also.
If the Tigers can develop one or 2 super hard inside mids and cotchin can get released more on the outside he could Swan up.
Ok well no one can Swan up but you know what I mean, he could significantly lift his average. and potentially eventually be better than Danger
so there you go I give each of you a bit :)

Tex is a gun - future multi coleman medal winner
Oh yeah and Danger is better than Cotch. I dont see Cotch breaking games open like the Dangerman can ;)
That's why he almost won the Brownlow last year ::)

Tbag once you can proove Dangerspud is more consistant thsn Cotchin, I will take you seriously.
Also cw, Cotchin is the most in and under player in the competition by far.
Not really lez there are more in and umder then him like Sewell, Ball, Cross, Swallow, Selwood. The beauty of Cotchin is his ability to go both ways, thats what separates a swan pendles ablett from a ball or Sewell

Hope these offend someone. ;D
I was devastated to find out my wife was having an affair but, by
turning to religion, I was soon able to come to terms with the whole
thing. I converted to Islam, and we're stoning her in the morning!
The ex-wife suggested I get myself one of those penis enlargers, so
I did .... she's 21 and her name's Lucy.
Went to the pub with my girlfriend last night. Locals were shouting
"paedophile!" and other names at me, just because my girlfriend is 21
and I'm 50. It completely spoiled our 10th anniversary.
My son was thrown out of school today for letting a girl in his
class give him a hand-job. I said "Son, that's 3 schools this year!
You'd better stop before you're banned from teaching altogether."
Just been to the gym. They've got a new machine in. Could only use
it for half an hour, as I started to feel sick. It's great though. It
provides me with everything I need - KitKats, Mars Bars, Snickers,
Potato Crisps, the lot.."
Question - Are there too many immigrants in Britain ? 17% said yes;
11% said No; 72% said "I am not understanding the question please."
The cost of living has now gotten so bad that my wife is having sex
with me because she can't afford batteries.
A man calls 999 and says "I think my wife is dead". The operator
says, "How do you know?" He says "The sex is about the same, but the
ironing is piling up!"
I was explaining to my wife last night that when you die you get
reincarnated but must come back as a different creature. She said she
would like to come back as a cow. I said, "You obviously haven't been
listening."
My wife has been missing a week now. The police said to prepare for
the worst. So, I had to go down to Oxfam to get all of her clothes
back.
I've heard that Apple has scrapped their plans for the new
children's-oriented iPod after realizing that "iTouch Kids" is not a
good product name.
Hahahahaha great stuff doc, every single one made me laugh! ;D

well he is
not but THAT WAS MY POINT - so you are agreeing with me even tho you missed my point.
I say he will be a much better fantasy option if he gets freed up to play outside (INSTEAD OF INSIDE LIKE NOW) which I (ME) think he should as he has class uses the ball well and kick goals, so could be used to devastating effect on the outside - and benefit his fantasy scoring.
that was my point.
Who cares?
They're both spuds.

Brad Crouch could be the best thing to happen to the Dangerman, btw 22 contested possessions last week, but he definitaly started getting more run as the year went on

I don't have to prove jack to you ::) What stats prove a player is consistant anyway?
Did I say thet Dangerfield is more consistant then Cotchin? No, did I say he is better? Yes, James Kelly is pretty consistant does that make him better than these two? No! So what exactelly is you point?
Consistancy doesn't make you the best, winning matches and contests and imposing your self on games does, and who decides on what level = consistany, not proof or stats but opinion ::)
Actually, most stats prove consistency aha :P
Dangerfield ave 27 disposals a game :P

Good show from Goddard tonight. Will be a monster this season and a great VC for us.
Nice one danger ::)
Get around Army lads!
I'm sensing a big weekend for the Folders here. Goddard started well, now Vince, McLean and Reilly all having good games here. This is a good warm up for us to take this good form into the season proper.
like the look of tex so far, warming up for a big season i reckon..
kane lucas would be a good pick if he became a regular for $200K ish....
thompson, is my tip for a HUGE season, as teams go to danger and sloanne he is going to rack em up every game.
16 hitouts to warnock he dominates in the ruck but might not even make the team again.... can't understand why. kruezer playing fwd and pinch hitting seems the right pair to me for the blues.
robbo spudding up :) but wright not much better...
Walker has kicked goals. Tbag when you do your counting do you count supergoals?
Cause Monty doesn't include supergoals to the scores he writes up.
Thommo is making me fret about leaving him out again, Wright has pretty much played every quarter so far this year, time for a rvest
Walker :-X

that's because AFL site doesn't count them as DT points and Monty obviously doesn't bother to adjust the scores to count them as goals.
hopefully tbag does.
Yeah but Monty doesn't recongise them as goals... So do we?
So you want 9 points and not 12? ???
No where do you get your stats from when you count it up?
Have it locked into my memory, the structure on the AFL match centre
K4 HB2 D M4 HO1 FF1 FA-3 T6 SG12 G12 P1
SG = 12 ;D
Ok I thought you might of used Monty's stats and they leave out SG's...
If we had trading this week i'd have been a small chance of stealing him ::)

AXVS long term injury list is up, let me know of any players you have or know of now and throughout the season that go onto AFL clubs long term injury list and I will put them on our LTI list, when a player goes on OUR LTI list you can promote a rookie until the injured player returns.
injured player returns to your senior list and rookie promoted rookie returns to your rookie list automatically after the end of the season.
In regards to the AXVS Sportsbet leagues - SEE BELOW.
If you know of anyone not yet in or with a spare league please approach them to join us, we want both these leagues to dominate :)
OK TIME IS SHORT AND NO MORE WAITING NEED TO FILL THESE LEAGUES SO......
IF ANY ASSISTANT COACHES OR COACHES THAT HAVE NOT JOINED THE COACHES LEAGUE WANT TO JOIN - JOIN 1 SPOT LEFT.
CODE: 277079
IF ANY COACHES OR ASSISTANT COACHES OR ANYONE AT ALL WHO LOOKS IN ON AXVS WANTS TO JOIN THE ASSISTANT COACHES LEAGUE - JOIN 5 SPOTS LEFT
CODE: 400020
I will give it another week and throw it open to the greater FF community if we do not fill these leagues, however I would strongly prefer BOTH leagues are filled with AXVS coaches, assistant coaches or just helper outerers.

Hey lads, I'm looking for a couple of more people to take part it a really active Ultimate Football keeper league and was wondering if any of you would be interested.
When I say really active I'm talking getting on Facebook chat to talk smack, trades and all things football and even outside of football.
The league has a slow draft (24 hours for your pick) so you don't have to commit to being online at a certain time for the draft, just to getting involved in the banter.
The keeper league is similar to the XV's competition really. You draft a big squad (40) and can only move players on by trading. You keep everyone you draft for future seasons unless they retire or you delist them. Next season's draft will be a mix of the AFL's national and pre-season drafts.
I already have a couple of guys who have joined and in our non-keeper league we have already been chatting for hours on random stuff however a few of them can't commit to a keeper league so we need a couple more.
Anyone interested let me know and I'll send you the code.

if the one spot left is full when you go to join please join the assistants league ;) I doubt it as far as checking the scores are concerned.
I did say at the start of the comp I did not expect coaches to check all scores every week so if you can't do ti I will do it for you, I would just like not to have to do it every week for every team, but will if i have to :)
I think you can view the sportsbet scores on their site without being signed up to it or having a team in it? not sure on that one tho I think that is the case?
maybe not.
The Swansea Breakers (BXV) and London Royals (WXV) are after after a brother club, any offers PM myself or Ringo.

SB score = DT score + 1xKicks + 1xMarks + 2xTackles + 6xGoals
Almost Ric except Tackles worth 6 (compared to 4 for DT). Times your DT tackles total score by 1.5 not 2.
I think he meant + instead of x for all of them.

Hey, can anyone tell me when Sportsbet updates their scores in round by round play in your match centre. Is it after each game like SuperCoach or is it all just at the end of the round, or is it even live scoring? Just considering making a team with my best XV in it so I can just check their scores there instead of adding them up myself.
End of each game like SC and Sportal.

Only problem I found with it was that I can't fit everyone into my salary cap, so I'm trying to pick all the players that I think will play mostly for me.

Stupid question I know, but I have forgotten. Do we still play like normal in the bye rounds?

yep we play in the bye rounds.
no changes to the rules during these rounds.
everyone has to play during them so while it will hurt some more than others the draw is all random as are the match ups.
I know they aren't locked yet but some very interesting Captain and Vice Captain choices in the team thread.
A lot of people are going a bit risky it seems, unless you're just playing mind games and will switch them next week.

K. Jack does very well vs weaker teams
everything is as per DT and SC rules in regards to partial lockout, except no captains loophole.
when you post your updates next week to your team just remember you have to make a NEW POST not modify your post from before this weeks games.
my captain won't change ;)
Is t ok how I did it? Like only the players named so far?

yeah just make a new post at any time after the derby game with your full team ( including the players who you already named from this weeks games). and that new post with the full team you can modify up until the start of next weeks games.

I've gone with Jelwood as captain for now. He usually starts the season with a bang and he has a great record against Hawthorn.
I'm worried that Boyd will get the Raines tag. He had one shocker and one good score against the Lions in 2012.
Sammy Mitchell and Nat Fyfe have decent records against Geelong and West Coast respectively too... Tuck even? haha nah, will play it safe with one of Jelwood/Boyd.
I can afford to take a risk though, after all, we are playing the Crabs lol (sorry Nost). We'll most likely be the first team in AXVs history to occupy top spot on the ladder. 8)
I think your forgetting Ads I have the Tigers in the opening round
Going to be a tough opening game for the Dolphins against the Lambs but hopefully with them missing Stevie J and Tippett we should be able to edge it. Brian Lake could also be underdone as he hasn't played much this pre-season.
Not sure who Toga is going to fill the void with - Josh Hill and Lynden Dunn the most likely candidates up forward and Dixon/Gilham/Hine if Lake doesn't get up down back.
Looking for a big game from Vice Captain Rory Sloane tonight and then a monster effort from Gaz next week. I am a bit worried about Zaharakis getting the vest at some point as he hasn't played much this pre-season. Also we're hoping the Porpoise has fully recovered.
No-one playing tomorrow at all which is a bit disappointing for our fans.

Meh i'm happy with his performance.
Holy shower Sportsbet/Centrebet have live scores. Wow this is huge for them.
Disappointing from Goddard tonight. The Folders vice captain had a quiet one by his standards in his first game for the club, but hopefully we will see some more improvement from him over the next few rounds.

That's 109 DT so which is around 140-145 sportsbet at 3/4 time. 140 divided by 3.
38 x 4 = 176. So around 180.

Yeah at 3/4 time nails Barlow was on at least 150-155.
You said he was on 109, which was it?
You should say "he's on 109 DT at 3qt and looks good for 180 SportsBet"
Otherwise it looks like you're saying he's on track for 180 of whatever units the first measurement was listed in.
It's like saying "I'm counting eggs and 5 minutes in I'm up to 18 I reckon at 10 minutes time I'll be up to 3"
It's just retarded.
Nails has a point about the eggs - Nails knows eggs ;D
maybe a little harsh but spot on about the eggs
Ok Barlow was on 145 Sportsbet at 3/4.
145 divided by 3 = 48.
48 x 4 = 192
Thats the score he was looking at Nails
Tough week for Tibet with the Llama Captains having poor first weeks
Patrick Dangerfield could only muster 66 for 132

wouldn't stop Swan getting 240 in thsi game, HUGE scores await, he cracked 200 multiple times last season pity the teams who come up against him as captain when he cracks out 480 C. game over, unless you have a captain and vice captain pull out huge ones also.
Ablett the same and Franklin had some mamoth games also 13 goals in sportbet is a game changer in AXVS too imo.
Well I'm fairly happy with our opening round.
Only Porplyzia (77) and Sloane (169.5 as VC) played but both looked decent.
Was able to make a late change and take Zaha out of my team - hopefully he should play a full game next week.
My VC outscored the Lambs VC and I'm fairly confident Gaz can outscore Murphy as C. Going to be a close game though as all the Lambs players looked alright.
Also good to see one of the players I helped get to the Eskimos do well - Howlett gunned it up.

wouldn't stop Swan getting 240 in thsi game, HUGE scores await, he cracked 200 multiple times last season pity the teams who come up against him as captain when he cracks out 480 C. game over, unless you have a captain and vice captain pull out huge ones also.
Ablett the same and Franklin had some mamoth games also 13 goals in sportbet is a game changer in AXVS too imo.
And to think I was *this* close to taking Selwood with my first pick :O What was I thinking?
I was pretty happy to get Jelwood at 16, but you would be insane to pick him at 5. So many better options...
Good thing I did pick a better option hey ;).... now the Folders can win the premiership.

Yep, very lucky to get Swanny at #5. How the hell did he last that long. ::)
Better hope he doesn't go down with an injury or gets done for some stupid off field issue though. That would cause massive problems.
Will do a hammy ;)
Retiring at the end of 2014?
Buddy = not retiring any day soon
Other top 4 picks (off top of my head except GAJ) = younger and brighter future as a result
Buddy = a forward so is nice to acquire instead of another gun mid :o
Take out Buddy's sub game, and he was super dooper last year.

Early days and a bad start, the Texas Walker will be the highest scoring forward

Based on the two games so far - Josh Kennedy is the standout.
Him and Waters the only shining lights in an otherwise poor performance from the Eagles. Cripps not too bad either.
Unlike Walker when Kennedy came up the field he won the ball - took marks everywhere. Didn't get enough midfield service to get balls inside 50 though.
Ballantyne offered a one week suspension for an off the ball incident after an uninspiring first AXV outing. His place may be in danger in the best XV if Rohan Bewick can continue his fine pre-season form.
Boyd out for the Bears with injury.
Big loss. Too bad we're not playing them this week.

You've got to be kidding me. Boydy, one of the most durable players ever is injured. ::)
Oh well, not that big of a loss. We've got the Crabs, Crocodiles and Srikers for the first 3 games. No disrespect, but we'd smash those teams with or without Boyd.
Come on down Brent Moloney, show us what you're capable of. 8)
Strikers is a danger game!
Will do the odds shortly guys, sorry it's not done yet :-[ needed a rest after all the Cap work :P ::)
There will be two equal favs for the Premiership and two equal fav for the chopstick

Yeah, if Daisy and Suckers were fit and Conca remained a defender, they'd be looking at top 4-6 I reckon.

I was like lolol suck it Bears, you have Boyd out hahaha
Just remembered, I have him in Worlds.
FMWXVs
Heath Scotland, Steve Johnson, Boomer Harvey and Matty Boyd all ineligible for selection for rd 1 in my worlds
Luckily not as many for my AXVs, James Kelly and Scotland I think are the only 2.

Daisy should be back for Round 3. Will probably get gametime this weekend in the VFL and again next weekend, or he may play limited minutes. May be a bit underdone but should still face the Bears.
Thinking the Bears and the Dongs will be the joint favourites.
Don't rule out the Dolphins though. When Zaha is over his injury worries and Ablett is firing as captain we'll be hard to stop. Also hopefully Boyd's injury gifts Lower a chance to ton up :D
Trouble being is the depth challenging for fourth spot, Dolphins are highly regarded but so are a bunch of teams
Top eight almost wrights it's self but not just that simple
Stay tuned, betting up shortly
And there is only one clear choice for the Silver Spoon :P

Dolphins problem is our forward line - Lewis, McGlynn, Porplyzia, Betts, Varcoe, Stokes don't exactly inspire fear into the heart of our opponents, unlike a firing Ablett, Sloane and Zaharakis in the midfield.
Will be on the hunt for a power forward next off-season.
I think Kreuzer will step it up this season though.
Zaharakis sucks. Don't mention him as 'elite'
Keen to see my man big Ty Vickery rerurn too football tomorrow ;D also if Jake Batchelor can find some of the ball!
We are very pleased whith how Ty has gon and expect him to perform!
Eddie Betts kicks an early one!
Ty Vickery with a brilliant late pick 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
Was one of my faves in 2011
Here come Tibet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big Vickery 99 Half time 8)
Just so glad he fell to me so late 8)
Robbo subbed. :'(
Andrew Walker is killing it though. 8)
Hendersen posting a decent score for the magoos
Well McLean picked up a bit in the last quarter, but why oh why did Yarran not handpass it off to him so he could kick the winning goal?!?!?! ::)

Gibbs could have also given him a handpass to goal like 2 minutes earlier too.
McLean could have won it and should have won it for the Blues, but they didn't pass it.
Dickheads.
Tactics and tanking in resting Rance ;)
Griffen and Higgins doing extremely well ;D
You all mocked me for getting Gia very late in the draft
Forgot I owned him ::)
Should've had him on field :o
Bob Murphy - very solid cover for the injured Stanley.
It's going to be a battle between Moloney and Daniel Cross for the last utility position, both scoring like guns in the absence of captain Boydy... who will get the gig when he returns?
Clay Smith 36 (sub)
Wallis 92 :-[ come good second half (good not great)
Hams, Hendersen and now Picken showing me why I shouldntve left them out, looks like Pedersen, Stevenson, May, Maister and Harpers spots are all up for grabs if they dont perform. On top of that, got Ebert and Hannebery to come, along with Jetta and Rioli. Be scared Sri Lanka!
Green went alright! Redden below par. Patton comes out and kicks two goals in second quarter :o and Shiel absolutely killing it.
Good start so far :) I can see myself beating mons :o
Shiel is gunning it. A big score coming :o
Patton will 3 snags or maybe more will get a nice 90+ score.
Looking for a rare win for the Elephants.
Pretty happy with a ton from Ben McGlynn. Racked up 6 tackles and a couple of goals including a late snag to score 116 by my count.
Lower very disappointing today and Dickson on the bench is disappointing.
Lambs had some good results today. Will be hoping my captain Ablett fires tonight.
The Llamas continue to struggle in round one with Devon Smith doing ok but not great for 99 points,
Our great white hope Jeremey Cameron struggled but imposed himself physically for a 73

And solid and average performances by Green and Redden (112 for VC is alright)

Smith's a forward so... guess Wingard will be against Shiel
Cameron was more prominent than Patton, he is like a young Taylor Walker, wants too displays his size and aggression every opportunity, Cameron looked better than Patton today

didnt sub blease on still so maybe just a sprain? not sure why they would risk him even if it is minor given the game is over but good signs for him anyway, looked like a sprain to me, as long as it isn't ligament damage a couple of weeks at worst?
Shocking week but guess who has Monfries in SportsBet ;D Wingard serving Tibet well!

He was clearly not fit enough to play.
"DANNY Stanley is in doubt for round 1 of the AFL season after the Suns utility was ruled out of today’s practice match against Melbourne with a groin niggle. The minor setback comes after Stanley missed the Suns’ first two rounds of the NAB Cup with a back complaint."
Should definitely be back in the next two weeks. He's a top 5 defender.
Being a good scoring doesn't mean you're a good player. Brent Stanton for example. haha.
Mixed results for Tibet
Jasper Pittard 80, looked pretty good mopping up down back
Jimmy the Gun 50, never got into it
Chad Wingard 96, had some highlights and showed polish

I never said he was a good player, this is fantasy. He's a top 5 defender in DT/Asians and that's all that matters here. :)
I was just saying that he didn't play because he is injured, not because he can't get a game. Should be back next week, if not the week after.

He had a club imposed suspension at the start of last year and then had another back injury. That's why it took him half a year to play.
He played in the reserves for 4-6 weeks if recall... He's not first in line to come in and I don't know who he is going to replace...
Wouldn't he replace Wilkinson? I don't know, you're the Gold Coast supporter.
At absolute worst case scenario, he doesn't play until about round 7. I've got Bob Murphy and Gwilt as solid cover, they both scored well last night and Murphy could go back to 2011/10 form playing up forward again.
Yeah Wilko sucks. But McKenzie would replace him or Seb Tape as the small forward.
Jacobs you muppet!
Goldy was tanking the nab

Jelwood and Sam Mitchell on fire! 8)
fmaxvs
yeah not watching it 'cause Grandma is over.
Reading what the muppets on chat said, it appeared to be a 4 year injury.
Sammy Mitchell playing across half-back as well... DEF/MID DPP next year? ;D
Lewis scores 50 in the first quarter :D
Enright scores 29.
Varcoe scores 19.
Total = 98.
With Lake out I count the Lambs scoring ~1605 in total.
We were 1430. Add on 98 = 1528. Need just 77 to win from the last 3 quarters.
Should get home safely I think.

puopolo 61 hill 55 - didn't start either of them ::)
Lance hasn't even played that awesome and is already on 84 SB @ half time. That's just how good he is for sportsbet
168 will be a great score if he maintains this pace and he has barely had to lift a finger.
Should have Vice captained Mitchell over NRoo, thought NRoo would've killed the Suns. :(
Jelwood - 4 FA ::) He could be on a monster score without them.
yep my only chance was for him to go down after 3 minutes as soon as he lasted 4 it was game over :)
mark kick goal = +20
he tackles too which is big in sportsbet, if he can give away limited frees against this season could improve on 2012 average. Scary.
Beams on the other hand, didn't play :'(
Jelwood goal. 8) Bears to get the highest score? even without Captain Boyd, Stanley and an injured Robbo?
smedts will be a superstar too - we own him :)
I'll give you a superstar, Rory Laird ;) 111 SB for West, beat Crouch! :o

Mitch Robinson outscored these guys and he got knocked out in the 2nd quarter lol. ::)
game center for round 1 is finalized and ladder is up in the ladder thread.
Bears sitting pretty on top, crocs have bolted into 2nd more to come.
HeadHunters the surprise packet? :o

HeadHunters the surprise packet? :o
+ 1 was thinking the same thing.
So I've just had a look through all my players scores from the weekend and our depth is wafer thin.
We'll need some luck from the Footy Gods to avoid injuries if we are to challenge for the flag.
Outside of the XV who started last week (including Dickson as EMG) only Toovey, J Blake, C Jones, Zaharakis, Jolly, Stokes and Sutcliffe played.
That's 2 defenders, 3 midfielders (counting Sutcliffe), 1 ruck and 1 forward. Not a whole lot to choose from there. They all scored reasonably well which is a good sign.
Others who I can expect to get a game on a more regular basis this season are Scott McMahon, Joel Corey, Nick Vlastuin and Matt Rosa.
Outside of them Josh Hunt, Horsley, Hardingham, L Osborne, N Wright, T Campbell, O Stephenson, A Edwards, Aaron Davey, C Dell'Olio and Brett Ebert might get games but I wouldn't expect many games from these guys and if so I don't expect them to score well.
Going to be a real busy off-season I think.
Also the match review of the Dolphins v Lambs is up now in my thread - check it out.
Well that turned out to be a close one for the Folders. I leave for a short holiday over the weekend and with no internet I have no idea what the final result would be. Good job from the captain Swanny and big Trav Cloke having big games to get us over the line! Llamas next week so a fairly easy start to the season with a couple of wins!
do the llamas have crouch ? he will score 180 in his first full game :o
Llamas will be a flog side. Elephants will beat them by a record margin.

Didn't go down that path, Clay Smith, Mitch Wallis, Chad Wingard and Jimmy the Gun match Crouch, this isn't SC ;)
Lez, tell'em you're dreaming ;)
Thing Crouch has as a good tackle count, other than possessions and tackles, not much else! Except awesome clearance numbers! But no points for that!

thomo has taken young crouch under his wing it seems and cannot wait to have him slutting it up in the midfield with him.
i'll wait for his second game but I WILL bring him in :)

Yeah, Wingard is a fantasy spud. Just not a big scorer. Will be a gun player though.
To be fair, unless your team is the Dongs you're in no place to be calling other teams spuds.

We have decent depth. We may not have the highest scoring fringe players, but we have people that will play each week. And Swanny will always be there to bring it home for us in the finals. He always finishes off the season big ;)

No way we will finish 8th unless Ablett goes down with injury and misses the majority of the season.
Lambs vs. Dongs this week will leave the odds interesting
Might be tough for us to bring it home.

if he named a playing one last week i might choose to use that one under the same rules as if he hadnt lodged a team at all?
that might be bending the rules.
otherwise yes he gets an emergency score to cover it, if a ruck 100% if not a ruck 50%.

it could spell the end for dwyer, kennedy starts as sub dwyer named on the field, not that this means much.
but lets face it they are both out when daisy, fasolo and krak and maybe didak come back in.
Dwyer did look pretty good hopefully a price rise or two before he gets the flick.

You've ruined your team's lineup by picking Vickery as captain.
Seriously the guy is a spud. He might have one or two good games every week but most of the games he'll score well under 100.
Give Danger another chance, or Gaff at home without the pressure of a derby.
Or a smokey option, though probably not for this week, for your captain would be Brandon Matera. The kid is a jet and in a full game should dominate.
QuoteHe might have one or two good games every week
a player who has two good games every week would be a GREAT captain option.

I thought that it was a rule that you had to name a full team and you would just get the half points in that position? Because otherwise he will just get half the points from an emergency filling that position, and he will get the best score available. Doesn't seem too fair to me.
I disagree, I really liked Ty in 2011 and he flew last week, has StKilda ;) And I really rate him as a player, take the guy in form ;D
Hey, I'm fine with you having Vickery as captain. Just an easier win for me.

if he has a non playing ruckman named he gets 100% of his highest scoring RUCK emergency score for him. OR
if he has no RUCK emeergency playing he gets 50% of the highest scoring emergency who plays from any other position out of his emergencies;
it is the same rule for every position.
IF YOU FAIL TO NAME A PLAYER IN YOUR TEAM - that doesn't change the scoring equation but it is a kind of breach of the rules for not naming a full complete team.
He should get half of first emgs score?
Quote from: whatlez on April 05, 2013, 06:45:39 PM
He should get half of first emgs score?
he has named zac clarke first of all.
however the rules are clear.
* If a player does not play, the highest scoring emergency of the "SAME" position will be used as cover.
* If there is no emergency of the "SAME" position, the highest scoring emergency of any "OTHER" position will be used as cover.
* Except in the case where that emergency is required to cover a player also not playing of the same position.
EXAMPLE.
Mid 1 does not play = covered by ( mid 140 ) at 100%
Ruck 1 does not play = covered by ( def 150 ) at 50%
Emergencies: fwd 120 / mid 140 / fwd 80 / def 150
All I can say is - good on ya for picking Vickery as captain tbag!
Good to see Big Boy McEvoy back with a bang after spudding up last week (mainly thanks to Hickey stealing ruck time).
Tucky needs to lift though!

Nice timing from Pickers at least he gave you a small chance of getting a team up before lockout.
good to have you back, hopefuly in you we will have a long term team owner. Was great when you were head coach and I am certain the Lambs will prosper under your rule.

Thanks for the kind words tbag :)
Haha I seriously do have that problem too lol :P
game centre updated.
we all realise since the lowly british stole all our coaches in waiting and now we have TOGA as a head coach, we have no more coaches in waiting.
so nobody better leave - CLEAR !
Was Bored
Tibet = Gold Coast (Doesnt seem as good as Bangkok but will get the wins on the board)
Bangkok = GWS ( Young and talented)
Laos = Brisbane ( Still a young, but well-rounded list)
Vietnam = Melbourne (not all young, not up to par, but some things just havent gone their way.)
PNG = Western Bulldogs (There is hope, but not soon with no ruck.)
Kathmandu = Port Adelaide ( Young, and will surprise a few teams this year.)
Taiwan = Adelaide (Has a great starting squad, but beyond that there isnt much, relies on the draw a lot.)
Australia = Richmond (On the up, will be hovering around finals, rather young list too.)
Hong Kong = Sydney (No one can seem to get past them.)
Bangladesh = West Coast (Always up their, just need a decent run with injuries.)
Manilla = Collingwood (Sheer talent, but some of it doesnt always turn up. (Balla) )
Turkey = Hawthorn ( have got a premiership window, but its not very long.)
Sri Lanka = North Melbourne (Seems to get injuries at all the wrong moments.)
Kuala Lumpur = Essendon (A lot of excitiing youth pushing through, doesnt fit the mould but there is only 2 of GWS and GCS :P)
Mongolian Lambs = Fremantle ( The surprise packet of the top 4, is a pain in the ass to verse, especially at home.)
UAE = Carlton (Are suffering some poor recruitment imo, but still have a strong squad and will push for finals.)
Not used: Geelong, St Kilda
Nice KK though I liken us more to Geelong than Adelaide.
Got an inspirational captain who could drag us over the line in many games and lifts when we need it (Selwood/Ablett) and is surrounded by experienced players (Enright, Adcock, Corey, Lewis) with a few exciting youngsters coming through (Sloane, Zaha, Dickson, Kreuzer).
Most players tend to be very consistent without many genuine superstars. Could be premiership contenders if things go their way.

QuoteIn another turn of events at Mongolia, picker_man has unexpectedly handed in his resignation to the board this morning, citing time restraints as the reason for his decision.
The board has made a quick decision given the timing of the resignation, and have announced Toga will once again be taking over the head-coach role at Mongolia.
Toga was unavailable to be contacted at this time, but is reported to be happy to be back on the scene.

Damn Bird is the sub today, hope that doesn't happen too often. I guess it doesn't really matter this week after such an effort from Vickery, we are heading for a percentage boosting win this week.
Why did we named a spud like Bird? ???
We already discussed this Nigey in pms. Bird came in for Ballantyne. He's not a spud.
Oh right, I must have forgot to mention that I didn't want Bird in for Ballantyne and that I would have preferred Merrett. :-X Anyway, I don't rate him. :P
Clay Smith 77 HT thankyou!
What a good pick it was getting Brett Goodes at 3 in the rook. draft. GUN
DIon Prestia to be mid/def for sure? Good news for Nost

Dixon is not a spud. One of the best ruckman/forward there is. Rate him as high as Roughead ATM.

Cox? Natanui? Ryder? Roughead? Hale? Jenkins?
All better than Dixon...
He's better than Jenkins and Hale already :o
Big call, but what he's shown this year and last is a lot of awesome talent.

Oops didn't mean it that way Lez.. Don't think he's a spud at all, just commenting that he did awesome and I wasn't expecting that big a score!! :o
Set to be a gun for years to come, doing that against one of the least DT-friendly teams in the comp today gives me confidence he might be able to overtake Lake at D4 for us! :o

How good is KJack! 330 as captain thank you very much. And to think that some eyebrows were raised when I picked him first round :o
Getting that early rookie pick was to die for. Brett Goodes has saved our backline with 2 great performances. Unfortunately we don't think Hampton is up to best XV level and will be on the chopping block for round 3.
Another solid performance by Sauce. Michael Walters has really showed his talent the past 2 weeks, scoring very well.
WOULD LIKE TO CONGRATULATE THE HOFF ON BECOMING THE FIRST EVER STRIKER TO SCORE 200+Conca and Jenkins should be expecting a call up after their ripper games in the 2's
Ffs.
Taking the VC off stanton against his worst ever team to play against was a mistake. He smashed it and by having the VC on Pav instead is going to cost us like 60 odd points and possibly the match
Pavlich's score with VC consiered - 192
Stanton's plain and simple score - 193
FFS Stanton, y u have bad history vs. Demons to scare me
Cheers for gun score though.
at least your captain isn't on your injured list ::)
meanwhile my opponent racks up 390 from his captain heppell :o
Wow Mackie playing a shocker and now McLean the sub as well! There goes my hopes of a big percentage boost this week. If we weren't versing the Llamas we would probably lose :o
Petrie snagging some sausage rolls for the lambs, while opponents Kelly and Bartel have also been impressive... Will come down to the wire tonight!

Blair out scored Harper in less than one quarter. No offense, but you suck at trading. At this rate Harper will get delisted like I said ::)

you think you deserve credit? or are a genius for knowing blair is better than harper?

i only JUST passed the trade becasue the guy trading blair out was the guy who really wanted the trade, and it was not going to give the team getting blair a huge advantage over other teams.

flowering easy. no trading in 2014 unless the trade you propose is of exactly equal points average.
done.
no way there can be any disputes now.
AS for this trade why aren't you running your mouth of about how right you are about masten? wasn't he part of the trade?
and how stupid are you to think blair will get anywhere near as many points once ball and beams comeback in and he has to play 70% minimum game time as a small fwd - they all score well don't they?

Hey Hey calm down. I just don't rate Harper and comparing him to a premium is stupid IMO. Not having a go at you and not your fault, just hope the spud gets out of the AFL so the sport can get some respectability back.
ROUND 18 (PICK 275): Jamie Elliot
Surely the steal of the draft? Infront of 85,000 people he rose to the occasion and kicked 5 along with 20 possessions.

i take my anger at the FF site spudding it up all weekend out on you anyway!
and you are having a go at me by directing the comment at me.
the trade was stupid but blair is not much better than the cats small fwd, the north guy is a spd now but forever? who kows? masten is not a premium surely either> blair will struggle with ball + beams + daisy + krak back in the side.
elliot is far better, fasolo is rated higher, caff and goldsack are the defensive fwds, cloke and lynch the talls, blair will hold a space in the fwd line - but just. i think you over rate him.
dwyer and ben kennedy will probably both go past him in a season or two. he has been solid but he is not a premium.
masten is not as good as gaff or shuey and both of them are not even genuine premiums yet.
this is why the trade passed.
Yeah guys, you may not agree with the trade still, but it happened months ago now and it went through, so let it go. Wasn't your team involved anyway so the impact isn't major. Let's just enjoy the competition we have here instead of fighting over the little things we don't like.
Yea what BB has said, plus if you have watched both north games. Harper has had two forward tags on him, so you may not rate him lez but Koops, Chris Scott and Nathan Buckley do.

So my total for the week is 1690, disappointed in that, had some bad scores, probably some bad choices for who to pick in the final XV with Merrett, Gilbert and Dwyer all having impressive performances in the 2s.
Actually with home ground advantage which I forgot I had it goes up to 1740.7, so 1741, decent score there I guess.
By my calculations tbag finished with 1344 points, but that may be off by a couple. Still the Folders get another good win and should move a few places up the ladder.

+1, while it wasnt a great trade short term, Harper looks a lot juicier looking at teams in the long term, you gotta remember Bliars only getting MID time because of Beams, Youngs and Balls absences. ;) Will get pushed back forward when these guys return.
game centre being updated, results in so far
Strikers Def Crabs
Eskimos Def Tigers
Gazelles Def Dolphins
Bears Def Crocs
Head Hunters Def Melbourne Vipers
all results are in ladder is updated.
Dongs head coach is a bit disappointed with himself this week
Boys performed alright, had a few passengers though. If the coach did his job properly, maintained captains and selected the right players Dongs could've been the first team to crack the 2,100.
flower yes, versing the Llamas this week ;D
Might win first time this year :O
Come on Vickery as skipper.
(http://i50.tinypic.com/15g2pop.jpg)
Juyst make sure Vickers is skip hahaha.
Tigers vs Bulldogs this weekend whatlez, don't tempt fate! :P
No faith in Gaff yet and Jack still coming back to fitness, Ty could be back in the Captains this week!
Yes bring on Ty. Might be close with Ty as the skip :o
Yeah would be close, so I better play the Dangerman as Captain and Ty VC and bank the win!
First to crack 2K last week...

my captain is still out :( bad choices for replacements, my star fwd lecras is still out, i put poops in , i put lucas out.
grigg averaged a few points only less than thompson last season and is much younger but he has failed to fire this season, hmac still out he will make a consistant 100+ player for my utilities when back... lots going wrong 1500+ last round was average but this one was a shocker, good week to play me.
we need beams back !!!!!! the difference from 400 captain to 200ish is huge. need grigg or wright to fire for that VC spot too!
Nah hopefully Beams misses again :P

Ill trade you my draft picks for Beams, hes rubbish not even in the pies best 22 better cash him in while he has some value :)

And talk about an awesome backline
Strikers vs. Bears surely game of the round? We win this and we cement our place as a top 4 candidate.
Jack & Sidey proving to be a lethal combo. Daisy back too :D
Folder starting well. Ballantyne and Mayne on fire up forward, Goddard and Johnson solid with lots of kicks and marks.
Hibberd on fire for the Eskimos.
Don't want him to stop though as I have him in my DT.
Just hope Zaha can gun it as well.

I don't expert to lose, but I don't harp on about it like either of you do when ther playes go bad.

I just want captain Boydy back. :(
Yeah I had a sook when Suckers and AJ went down, Lez. But rightly so surely :o
I've had some terrible luck. The worst was Conca losing back status, also Rocky gaining back status after I traded him. ::)
Anyway, can the Strikers knock off in my mind the premiership favourites? Will come down to the wire. Sidey needs a big one to secure the win. Oh and just wanna say, dropping Clark was a genius move ;)

Yeah exactly. Suckling is a top 10 back, could have finished like 6-8th this year. Backs are my weakest li e so Lodi g Suckers and AJ just destroyed my team.

At least you know you're missing him Colli and can select others. You're not stuck with blokes scoring ON FIELD zeros and others being late withdrawals so you have to cop a score from a bad player.

I did in round 1....
and knowing you don't have your best scorer and captain doesn't make selecting your 2nd stringers as captain any more enjoyable.
should have drafted more depth, but i do have some future guns i think just going to have to wait for them to come on.
one thing is for sure my first 3 rounds of draft picks will be getting traded for solid scorers, maybe old but premium, maybe middle of the road but still young with potential.

At EOS, have your people call my people and we'll do lunch.
Ok the only people who can complain is cw with Beams and Jay with defenders going done. Waters out for one week is different to Suckling who is a similar scorer to not play a game ::)
I should complain about Gram :(
Gram was a top 20 defender iirc.
yeah at least Beams will be back but what a dismal start to the season my team is demoralised and confidence is non existent the CEO has been sacked and the coach is on notice..
on a brighter note the game centre is updated and what is with the CRABS :o
I am allowed to go on a rant now instead of gay Nails and Adamant complaining about one game.
Star forward Johnathon Patton for the season with an ACL. This guy will be Asian Star and now it out for the season again... so flower up Nails and Adamant about your one Beau Waters shower and Jason Gram stalking crap. I will give you some relief if one of your guns/rising number one picks goes down the season. So flower Patton and that 25 which flowers up my huge score >:(
RANT RANT RANT.
This is a discussion thread, we're allowed to discuss our disappointments. No need to be a prissy little dog.
We can state our disappointment if we like. You choose a spud with an injury filled history and this is what you get.
I've lost 2 of my best 10 players for their CAREERS. Worst than someone losing a player for a season.

Number one pick who is a spud? All credibility is lost.
finally Grigg fires! pity he can't kick straight
You know no.1 draft picks can be spuds?
Des Headland, Travis Johnstone, Clive Waterhouse, Josh Fraser....
Houli off to a great start 8)
Would love to see Jack kick a bag!
Haven't checked this season Kreuzer was subbed off injury after being handed the VC for me. Completely flowered my team this week i think. Assume the Eskimos will slaughter us now.
Richmond, kick the flowering pill to Riewoldt! :(

game centre updated ladder on the way.
shower just realised Liam Shiels scored 141 and playing reserves... will be a toss of the coin on who plays next week in Shiel or Shiels.
new ladder is up
Great work Colli, should be a good game between the Bears and Folders this week. Top of the table clash. 8)
Hopefully I can get some massive inclusions in captain Boyd and Danny Stanley. Watch out for the Bears then. :o

Pretty happy to have knocked off the in-form Headhunters this week, away, for our first win of the season!
Will be a tight match against the Ales this week, then we've got a few matches we should take home the points for heading into the middle of the season before Tippo comes back into the side 8)

captaincy back on Cotch this week for the Eskimos, Firrito gets a recall and Liam Jones will be making his AXV debut. R1 is still in some doubt with the coach not sure wehter to give Rowe another crack or give SOH a go. No Ryders gonna be super tough.

Pretty sure it's a fact that the older players cop more injuries, especially for a guy like Fletch who has played for 472986 seasons.
Just saying got to brace yourself for this kinda thing if going old
Pav being injured is just unlucky though. He has super durability.
It's a fact?
Grimes, Higgins, Hartlett, Robbie Gray, Beau Waters mostly injured early 20s, Campbell Heath, Xavier Ellis
Pretty sure it's a fact that younger players cop more injuries.
Nails, youre playing me with no Ryder or Embley, youre gonna win,shuddup :P
So age has nothing to do with when you cop injuries?
Not like Fletch being out has anything to do with the fact he is 37.

Shows how uninformed your opinion is. Do you have assistant coach/super coach gold?
Scroll through the players list, you'll find like 85% of the injuries are to pretty young players
"something to do with the fact he is 37" trying to prove your old bloke point?
What about the fact Fletcher is an injury obsessed bloke. He has NEVER EVER played a full 22 game season. His age is 100% irrelevant, despite you trying to make it otherwise.
Deledio, Cotchin and Dusty went to town on the Dogs last week... Scotty Thompson, take the captaincy for this week, and smash 'em for us. 8)
No changes to the Lamb's side, Murphy is having a rest from the captaincy this week while Scotty does his thing, and Pearce Hanley is promoted to EVC.
Tbag's team has been named. :)
Jelwood is absolutely killing it. ;D
Hope I didn't make the wrong choice of captain out of Boyd/Jelwood.
4th poor game for Jetta this week, looks like he will be dropped for Hams this coming week. Or even SOH
Hannebery on the other hand... :D
Leaving for Bali tomorrow, will be gone for 10 days.
Hopefully I'll have access to FF while I'm gone, otherwise my assistant (Shihan7) will post our team for round 5.
VC Jelwood has got the Bears off to a flying start, although Rivers has been very disappointing cover for Waters. Hopefully we can get the win and remain undefeated!

true he could or kennedy even, but they have to get on top in the midfield first, if cox has to play a lot of ruck time he can't score 200...
unless he still manages a bag of 5+ and 15 kicks and 30 hitouts and 10 marks :)
200 is a big day out
not a score i'll see in my team until i get my captain back...
Too many passengers again. Only so much Hibberd, Cotch, Ebert, Howlett, Hanners, Clarke and Rioli can do.... Jetta, Maister, Mzungu and possibly Firrito, Stevenson and Jones will all be under scrutiny this week. But it wasnt like we were ever gonna beat the dongs anyway :)

vipers suck ass, coach is one week away from being sacked....
ladder updated.
Folders go to the top, the only unbeaten team, vipers and crabs the only winless teams as the llamas take their first win comfortably over the hapless vipers.
lots of close games and the battle for the top 8 heats up, while the top 4 grab a clear % break on the rest of the teams competing for a spot in the 8
looking fwd to the round review later in the week, don't expect much to be said about the vipers..... no news there :-X
Round review should be up tonight, as long as I don't have too much other work to do. Some close games, so should be a good write up.
The Round 4 Match Report is now up.

While Buddy has been serviceable he hasn't had a cracker yet. Just watch out for when Buddy has a cracker. Seems to be willing to give off the pass too often this year.

The Doc's our #1 ticket holder.
Should be a cracker of a game. Can we contain the Strikers forward line and can they stop our midfield? Sloane and Gaz have been in good form this season and Clinton Jones, Jackson, Zaharakis and Corey haven't been too bad either.
There's also a chance Matt Rosa might play this week as well though next week is more likely.
Ablett should play - we will still probably have no ruck which might kill us as Anzac Day comes to soon for Jolly and Kreuzer will probably also miss. With the bulldogs injury crisis there might be some hope for Campbell but he's not likely to score well anyway - we may as well play Davey there again lol.

Had him since round 1 in DT due to his easy fixtures.
Done very well so far, not many other forwards as consistent as him. 80-110 every week. Was originally planning to go from him to Buddy/SJ but I might keep him for now and if he starts to slide jump on Daisy later.

Cheers BB, surprisingly confident Ill be able to get 15 on the park all 3 weeks, will be hard though.
Really you guys play in the bye rounds?
What the World competition does is play for Round 11 and half of Round 12 (the 6 AFL teams that didn't player in Round 11) combined = so all 18 AFL teams are represented.
The other half of Round 12 and Round 13 is State of Origin week.
Works well!

There is no loophole for captains or vice captains allowed.
Captain and vice captain and emergency captain are all locked once named.
You do not have to name them in your initial team but as soon as ANY of them are named they cannot be changed.
also only the emergency captain can cover a non playing captain or vice captain. as per the rules.
But what about emergency loophole?
i.e. put Bill Gates as emgerency number 1
if he scores 140 we then put a non-playing player on in his place :o

there is no emergency loophole for captains.
emergencies do not cover captains for a start, the vice captain covers the captain if the captain does not play
and the emergency captain then covers the vice captain.
if the captain plays but the vice captain does not, the emergency captain covers the vice captain.
if both the captain and the vice captain do not play the emergency captain covers the captain.
ll 3 captain positions cannot be changed once named.
NOW - THE LOOPHOLE UNDER THESE RULES WOULD WORK - EXCEPT WE AGREED IN SETTING UP THE RULES THAT WE WERE NOT GOING TO ALLOW A CAPTAIN LOOPHOLE.
SO IF YOU NAME A PLAYER NOT NAMED TO PLAY AS CAPTAIN OR VICE CAPTAIN THIS WILL BE AGAINST THE RULES WE SET UP.
PUNISHMENT WAS NOT AGREED ON BUT LETS JUST NOT DO IT AS I AM THINKING NOT COUNTING THE SCORE FROM THE PLAYER WHO DID NOT PLAY WOULD BE APPROPRIATE - IE YOU DELIBERATELY NAME A NON PLAYING CAP OR VICE CAP, YOU DON'T GET THE EMERGENCY CAP SCORE TO COVER IT. MEANING YOU MISS OUT ON A CAPS SCORE OR VICE CAPS SCORE.
What? I'm not talking about captains in the slightest.
I'm talking about PLAYER emergencies.
i.e. I put Ben Hudson as my ruck emergency - if he scores well I put a non-playing ruck in his position so I get Hudson's score.
Nothing to do with captains.

it's unethical :)
But I don't think we cemented a rule on this. so I can't stop it.
we did decide to ban the captain loophole, we did not actually decide on any rules in regards to loopholes regarding emergencies for normal players in the rules, so i have to allow it.
next season we will vote to close or leave open this loophole but for 2013 you can use it.
so if you name an emergency who plays and scores great you then name a non playing player in his line on field (fwd, def etc.)
and you get the emergencies score.
again i don't like it but there is no rule against it in the official rules.
link to the captains loophole vote: http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,72340.0.html
as i said the emergency for normal player loophole was never ruled on.
we either all vote to ban it now or i have to leave it open.
given we have three miscreant coaches ::) banned right now, holding a vote seems impossible, and if this is allowed for one round we will have to allow it for the rest of the season.
i am tempted to just make a call and ban it but i don't see it as giving anyone a HUGE advantage so it is allowed.
I don't like using the loophole, it sort of gets rid of the premise that we are game day coaches. In a real match you can't see how one player does in a game and then go back and decide whether or not to play him. A bit unfair I think to do that.
ZAHARAKIS you star...
Howlett.... flower >:(
Hibberd and Clarke did ok I suppose :/
LEWIS JETTA SUB!
Better give mons the win now, however Jettas only averageing 50 odd this season, odds are he will come on Q4 and get that anyway ::)
Or he'll come on in quarter four and score 10 :P ::)
Query: Does this mean I can now name a non-playing player in my utilities and take Winderlich's score and then half of Davey's score for the ruck spot?
Or are you going to rule that Winderlich's score must be used for the ruck spot and halved? Should a ruck not play (none are named).
Basically the question I'm asking is - Is there an order in which your emergencies come onto the field if you have more than one player missing and that one of them is a utility.
I guess to avoid complicating things I could move a mid to the utilities and pick the non-playing guy there. Corey being the guy I'd drop most likely.
Looks like Zaha scored 181.
Winderlich also scored 152 and Davey got 80.
Toovey is the concern. He was only an emergency and scored ok with 60 but it looks like he might have done his ACL :(
also raging that Stevo's dropped, brings us down to 20 playing players this weekend, thankfully I can field 15 in the different positions.

Query: Does this mean I can now name a non-playing player in my utilities and take Winderlich's score and then half of Davey's score for the ruck spot?
Or are you going to rule that Winderlich's score must be used for the ruck spot and halved? Should a ruck not play (none are named).
Basically the question I'm asking is - Is there an order in which your emergencies come onto the field if you have more than one player missing and that one of them is a utility.
I guess to avoid complicating things I could move a mid to the utilities and pick the non-playing guy there. Corey being the guy I'd drop most likely.
Looks like Zaha scored 181.
Winderlich also scored 152 and Davey got 80.
Toovey is the concern. He was only an emergency and scored ok with 60 but it looks like he might have done his ACL :(
read the rules thread :)
it is simple, an emergency is taken in the following order / circumstances.
an emergency player for the same position of a player not playing is used ahead of other emergencies of different positions.
if you have for example a mid not play and you have two mid emergencies the highest is used.
if you have no mid emergencies the highest scoring emergency you have of a different position is used at 50% points.
so if you have a mid not play and 2 mid emergencies that score 20 and 30 and a fwd emergency that scores 190, you CANNOT USE THE FWD EMERGENCY. the highest scoring mid (30) will be used.
but if you have a DEFENDER or RUCK not play with those emergencies you take the fwd emergencies 190 and halve it, as he would be the hghest scoring emergency out of the 3 not from the same position as the defender or ruck/
make sense?
i seem to explain it to a different person every single week, there is a rules thread, the info is there and clear. and there is a link to the rules thread in every team submission thread, just in case finding the home page with the rules on it proves too challenging....
Memph your new and didn't take part in making the rules like these other spuds :) but you can still go there to the thread and read them !
Colli you missed my question.
I understand what you posted.
What I was asking is what happens in the case of utilities.
For example. If I swap Corey for Rosa. Rosa doesn't play. But I also have Kreuzer not playing in my rucks.
I have 3 emergencies, none of them are rucks. One (Winderlich) scores 150 and the other (Davey) 80.
What happens here. Firstly, do you get full points for an emergency swapping in to the utilities? Secondly which emergency comes in first here as it will impact points.
If Winderlich comes in to utilities and Davey rucks I would score 150+40=190.
if Winderlich comes into rucks and Davey into utilities I would score 75+80= 155.
I have changed my team so this won't happen btw by putting Sloane into the utilities once I realised I could do this but I would like to clarify this, especially point 1.
Your utility has to have a position named for him.
Therefore if util is mid only, your highest scoring mid emergency goes to him first. (Same for other positions)
Then your second highest scoring emergency gets 50% for the ruck.

Well the one positive is you're running by far the best XV's competition imo.
So much going on to keep us interested.
Loving it mate. Keep up the good work.
thanks mate, got some great helpers with the match reports now and the upcoming rising star nominnees and team of the week features.
plus all the active and enthusiastic coaches, makes my life easy.
GAME CENTRE IS UP TO DATE.
Forgot I had Vlastuin. He's going alright.
Will be a good inclusion with Toovey out. If he keeps it up I'll look at giving him a starting spot.

i started him in british, i lack depth there with myers being sub, but yeah he is a gun this vlatuin, make no mistake, should be a certain starter week in week out and averaged 120 champion data ranking points per game in the championships last year as the captain of vic metro.
good get for you :)
I just cant catch a break ::) Cotch tagged, Mzungu has got his head up his arse again. We need our injured guys back fast.
and now Stevensons a late in >:(
Charlie Dixon you are a (http://live.fanfooty.com.au/images/icon_star.gif).
On track for a nice SportsBet score with three sausage rolls before half time.
Make that four.
(http://live.fanfooty.com.au/images/icon_superman.gif)
tex injury not looking good, a few weeks hopefully no serious damage but subbed out and you would think a few weeks?
Whatlez very unlucky.
Patton and now Tex...
On another note, how many flowering knee injuries this season? ???
flowerin Malthouse starting Betts as the sub.
It's not like he would have lost fitness with a broken jaw - could still run.
Oh well Ablett absolutely gunned it, as did Jackson yesterday so I can't complain too much.
Come on Sloaney...a good VC score today and I reckon we'll get past the strikers unless JJK and Westhoff have a shootout tonight.
Maybe it is my lucky week after all. Gibbs subbed out for some reason and Betts on at halftime and into the thick of the action straight away...
*thud*
There it is... Westhoff finally fell back to earth. Watch him never captain the Strikers again! Sidey, JJK and Jack are all more worthy
GAME CENTRE UP TO DATE AFTER ALL SATURDAY GAMES.
SOME GREAT BATTLES...
The Tigers pushing a depleted Bears
The Crabs after a submission error have made the going even tougher against a powerful Dong
Dolphine looking good in the game of the round with the Strikers doing it tough
The lowly vipers are pushing the heavily backed crocs even with the Vipers lack of captain material
The Llamas are backing up their impressive win last week keeping in tough with the Lambs
The eskimos are giving the 3rd placed head hunters a real run for their money
In the other clash to watch the 7th and 8th placed Ales and Gazelles have nothing between them heading into the last games.
McMahon spudding but Adcock likely just sealed the win with that goal D
Lewis also looking good.
all final team scores and results in game centre updated, ladder on the way.
Ladder up wk 5.
Flower I hate the sub rule
yes so do i, it killed me in british i had 3 this round....
we did vote on having a "sub emergency" but it got voted down.
i also had priddis in british subbed out for 8 that sux worse than any sub
should get cover for that too, like an afl team playing out the rest of the game a man down.
fantasy football is imperfect ::)
Bennell injured, Rich injured, Hurley injured, to add to Beams being injured. Oh and Gibbs (VC) subbed off at half time, Savage subbed and Caddy subbed...
Struggling
Hey Colli got to own up to a mistake.
Just checked Sportsbet and Winderlich is apparently a forward only not a Mid. Which is handy for me in the future but means I put him down wrongly in this week's team.
Don't think it would have affected the outcome of our game though.
I was just going off the player positions the Doc listed in his thread. Might have to re-check some of the others as well.
I think thats a disqualification Memph :P

I guess that's a tip for any managers in the future. If you're taking over a team just check to see if your predecessor had the team and player positions right.

This will need to be adjusted in the results. I will make the changes tomorrow.
There is no punishment for the error due to the honesty in reporting it.
If anything I should reward it, but to keep the competition accurate and premium I will make the neccessairy adjustments to scores.
This means you get half his score for emergency cover instead of 100% of it. So a significant change of around 76 points but the important thing is the result of the game is unchanged.
ALL COACHES: CHECK THIS THREAD: http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,73823.0.html
If you have a long term injured player you need to post his name and also post the rookie off your rookie list you are promoting in his place until he is playing again in the above thread.
Until you have posted the rookie you are promoting no rookie can be named off your rookie list.

sure i'll swap him for the first guy picked in the draft on your team, until he returns then we can swap back again.
tough playing without the #1 pick and captain of the club for 5 weeks now and looks like many more to go before i get him back.
Marc? No way! :P
How long is Beamer out for now though? :(

not sure i have a feeling we won't see him for at least 2 more weeks no news is not good news could be as far off as after the byes.
ridiculous for a quad, but he will have to play vfl first surely after 6-8 weeks out of the game, no match fitness even ball who is a lot harder after all his preseasons has had to come back through the vfl and may have another week in the vfl yet himself.
Beams is too important to rush back, and winning is too important for them to bring him back underdone either.
Seriously this is ridiculous
I have Jackson Trengove as well
With Stefan Martin and Sandi out, but luckily big Shaun McKernan is in for his first game. Hopefully he stands up with the absence of Tex.

Anyone want to loan a player?
I've got Patfull, Nathan Wright, Hardingham, Alwyn Davey, Lower, Sutcliffe available who aren't in my team or emergencies this week.
Not the greatest scores but at least they're playing...

Yeah it is unlucky. At least you have six to choose from that have played this season though.
We only have two real choices - Kreuzer and Jolly. Oh and Campbell who might get the odd game but we'd be better off playing Alwyn Davey there
Fortunately Darren is back this week to help us destroy the Tigers.
Nails has Stanton captain. Ouch.
This is your chance Strikers!

Does anyone do a round preview? I dont have the time, but itd be cool!
Really not keen to play any strong teams right now:
3 of our 4 best defenders are out: Grimes, Cornes and Dustin Fletcher
Midfielders that might miss this week: Anthony (was a top 6 in our team last year), Hayes (top class mid this year), Stanton, Clinton Young (was 110 last year)
And our 3rd highest 2012 average play is out in the forwards in the form of Pavlich
That's 7 of our best XV potentially missing this week.
Who do we play this week? I hope they're bad. Our back line lacked depth originally now with injuries to 3 of our best we will struggle.
If Chad Cornes is in your top 4 backs, you're going to have a bad time.

I kind of did in my Review:
QuoteWhat a weekend of footy we have ahead in Asia! Starting off with what will be a hotly-contested game between premiership contenders Bangladesh and Taiwan on Friday night, before a huge day of footy on Saturday with matches including a evenly-matched Laos versus Vietnam pairing, capped off with a clash between rivals Mongolia and Manila, with the winner cementing themselves as the real deal looking towards September. The final game of the round will be another interesting one, with the Llamas looking to cause a big upset against the out-of-form Eskimos.
If anyone else wants to go into more detail go for it, I don't have the time to do any more either though. :(

Enter Chad Wingard :/ Still confident, just wont be the percentage booster I was planning for. :P
Hard to believe that this weeks carnage is worst than last weeks :(
Have to play Hickey as a defender and have zero emergencies :o
And final teams haven't even been announced
All you people with no depth :P
At the start of the year I would have thought Rich, Beams, Grimes, Savage, Caddy, Gibbs, Davis, Trengove and even Stevens would have played nearly all games this year. Did not expect them to all miss in one round
same but with Cotch, Rioli, Ryder, Embley, Maister, Didak (not really, but still best XV), Pedersen and Harper :(
Surely you should have expected rioli, embley and didak to miss large chunks :P
Looking fwd to this week against the Strikers Jayman 8)
Big game for both i think!
Strikers could make their way into the 8 with a win and the Headhunters could potentially drop to the bottom of the 8 top spot looks nice but its a pretty close 8 atm :o ..
Home ground advantage to the strikers presents a massive challenge to the PNG boys!!
Percentage booster for the mighty ales! !
Waiting to see if Lairdy lines up! Tipping he will ;D
He made the cut ;) named on the bench with Van Berlo, Kerridge, Lyons
Reasoning Tom Lynch is VC, simple really
Either go with an inconsistent Gaff, second year Wingard or .....
Tom who had 12 marks last week without Tex, is suddenly a top two forward at Adelaide, McKernen to play ruck and Lynch to support JJ marking everything at half forward ..... oh and ..... they play GWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i named tommy T in british - about time he got a fair run at it, hope he can play well for a large part of the season and finally step up to the best 22, should be a super player if given the change.

IMO the most unlucky fir player last year, had a 36 pos 16 mark game at CHB for Glenelg! Been waiting a long time to see him get the chance!

- Considering I got Dalziell right at the end of the drafts and no-one knew who he was he really has been one of the steals based on his last 2 rounds :o
Provided he continues to get games and not vests this year he's a stud. 118 last week and 115 this week. Feels good to give him a position in the actual midfield. Even if it is due to injury.

Na, it's a good thing. We're only playing the Tigers who we should still be able to dispose of. Makes me glad though as I had traded him into my DT but decided to trade him out on Friday and get GAJ instead. Therefore a positive.
What's going on?! :P
Nah fair enough, I'm surprised he's sub, thought he had been playing alright.

I trust you two are going to play nice tho going forward :o
::) Ha well we've been getting along on chat :o
i just look forward each week to something going wrong in Nails teams, just because i enjoy the rants so much.
also looking at a modification to the draw. no changes to games or who plays who, i am just considering moving the "extra games where we play a random team for the second time to DURING THE BYE ROUNDS>
i will have a look at it and how it might work and run it past everyone by pm.
just think it might be fairer to play every team once in normal rounds and play those extra double up opponents during the byes.
we will see...
That sounds alright CW but one problem I can forsee is that Lambs are playing rivals Manila this week and so our next clash with them is in rivalry round, which probably can't really be moved can it?
Or possibly even skip the bye rounds all together and some weeks we play 2 matches
IDK.
Some teams can only get 15-18 in a standard week. Some teams might only have 10 players in a bye week.
Yeah, it's a good idea to have the extra games there, but I think it would be a bit hard to make it all work now. Sounds good for next season though.
I just worked out if all my players are fit, I should only cop 2 donuts during the byes.
My forward line is the major worry in round 13 with NRoo, Robbo and Walker gone and then depth players Petterd and King also out.
Chris Knights :'( :'(

Cross still has the green vest on, Tuck subbed out in the 3rd quarter, Captain Boyd having a shocker...

Okay Tigers are back in it.
Hopefully Budby gets delisted at EOS. He's bloody useless.
ROUND 15 (PICK 238): Michael Walters
Proven to be my biggest steal of the draft! The best small forward in the game at the moment had a huge 174 tonight and is proving himself as a consistent high-scoring player in this comp.
Get around him 8)
Son Son is a jet, great pickup that late.

Hmm, well looking at it im not sure if sloane has been added to ur score or not?.
We're the Bangladesh Bears, not the Dolphins. ;) :P
Ok, well the bears have are pretty much done! Dolphins score at 1549 dosnt include whatever sloane scored
Dolphine score fixed, VC Sloanne added in, I always get everyone in the end,
The dolphins r looking like they will have a huge score!
Also got some big points on the bench as well..

I had a similar problem mons but figured out how to get it to work. See if this works for you.
Step 1 - log in on the home page. Do this first - don't log in on the competitions page and then try to get it to work - it doesn't seem to.
Step 2 - go to the Promotions tab
Step 3 - click on competitions and then click on Free competitions and the Free AFL and NFL Fantasy Footy link.
Step 4 - This opens a new tab where you should still be logged in. Only now can you click on the AFL Fantasy Football link and it will work and refresh that new tab into your team page.
For some reason the Sportsbet site doesn't let you (or maybe it's just me) log in on the Competitions page and then go to the Fantasy game, I have to log in on the homepage first.

Yeah it looks good for us. Kreuzer, Betts and Clinton Jones to come tonight.
However, while we've had three rucks play this week we didn't have a ruck for two weeks not long ago.
The C/VC combo has won it for us this week. My VC Sloane outscored the Bears captain by himself and then there was Ablett...
Thanks memph. ;D
Did we end up voting on a mid season trade window, i dont remember..?
Updating the odds!
Have done the Jade Ring even though it's all over! :o
Also rookies and Chopstick
Let us know what you think!
Sorry should have done the Jade sooner, of course was banned for three weeks :P Maybe should have done before the season ::)
But needed a break after the CW cap work :-[
How about odds for our brownlow?
Anyone like my idea of a mid season draft? And not a trade period.
All you can pick are the players who were never drafted http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,66557.msg862269.html#msg862269
It may be helpful for the teams who have had some injury problems like myself.
Maybe the order could be in order for least points or just the ladder in reverse?

I don't mind a mid season trade or draft, not like real AFL though which I believe CW wants!
I don't mind that either Jroo, sounds interesting. Also gives new coaches that didn't draft their teams like Memph, Ric, me to change our lists a bit if we feel so inclined. :)
Taylor Hunt out for 8 weeks with a fractured collarbone. Only a depth player in the mids but makes our midfield emergencies a bit thinner. :(
@Toga can I have Armfield back :P
Knights, Higgins, S.Martin and Sylvia all out up forward ::)

Haha I have been lucky some trades I wanted didn't go through. :I
Suckling, Mitch Clark, Sandi, Higgins to name a few
To be fair I thought your fwds had shaky JS... Turns out that they're alright in that respect but shaky bodies!

i do remember saying he should be the starting ruckman every week fro carlton. didn't help much this week with so many players missing for the blues and murphy well held.
but surely warnock has to be the #1 ruck with kruze and or hampson playing fwd? but then there is waite so either hampson or warnock can't play together with waite and kruze surely
Jack Steven's score will be pretty big tonight
ill get everything updated and finalized as son as the scores come in and are locked / confirmed.

Hampson is a spud. If I was Mick I'd drop him, play Warnock as main ruck, Kreuzer as full forward and ruck support and Waite as CHF.
some results are in and some one got LUCKY close win away for the .......
closer than expected.
and we have a MASSIVE UPSET
just as MASSIVE as last weeks MASSIVE UPSET
and it is NOT the Llamas......
I'll take my win...
i think we have 3 upsets.
yours isn't an upset memph very close on the ladder expected a bigger win from you but the bears roared home....
flowering tigers
I think Colli is referring to the CRABS. Jack Steven helps them storm home to beat the Ales...
We only ended up losing by 32 points... :'(
Just goes to show how good the Bears can be. Sooo much carnage and a terrible captain score and yet we still pumped out a 1960.
Seriously though, we are so unlucky. We score the 3rd highest score for the week and lose. ::) Congrats anyway Memph. Good game.
Looking forward to having Waters and Fyfe back next week, then we'll finally have our best XV playing together.
congrats to the crabs on their first win of the season, and now we have NO teams with zero wins.
all results are in ladder on the way, likely with the vipers on the bottom after a narrow loss to the elephants who scraped in with their HGA. dirty elephants
ladder is up

I was wondering why it was so close and then I remembered you had McEvoy as well who monstered Kreuzer in real life and in the Asians XVs.
Should have given Jolly a run :D.
If not for us the LLamas would have had the top score for the week. Just goes to show what a good captain can do...
Crocodiles and Eskimos battle it out this weekend for the Silver Crutch... If we can each field a side haha

I'm not disappointed - we won.
Only one player in the team of the week but the highest score overall. That's what every coach likes to see - consistently good performances.
Get the banter back. Underrated elephants are dying with their top 3 forwards all injured with lower body injuries. We need Jesse White!! Lol haha

I've updated the TOTW thread - it now shows how many representations each team has received, and which players got these representations.
Do we want a leaderboard for overall representations? Maybe like a top 20?
Yeah so I can show off Scooter :P
Haha ok. I'll do it now. :)
Ok updated with overall leaderboard. ;)

Was no hostility until tbag and lez came in. Was just asking where he came from...
Seeing as it's odd for a bloke to be "senior assistant" within 2 weeks of joining FF when there's heaps on the outer who are keen.
You say Goldy = never again, however with HMAC gone = great for goldy. You also wrote off a 24yo ruck who is obviously still developing and not even near his prime. Putting a ruckman into a "never ever" list who is
A) Still Developing
B) Had a big opposition player for TOG traded away
C) Has proven premium scoring ability in seasons past
Reeks of anything but knowledge.
Firstly, you need to know that I am very well known outside of fanfooty and that this isnt the only forum for DT ;)
Now on to Goldy.
The Kangaroos have changed their game style. They now play a run and handball style out of the back line. This wasn't the case in 2011. HMac leaving does not mean a thing due to the fact they recruited Currie and elevated Daw off the rookie list. Plus the fact HMac was injured for the majority of 2012 anyways. Goldstein's top score was 140 against a Brisbane combo of Longer and Merrett. This inflates his average but it is true that you can only play the opposition every week. The new ruck rule is also a huge worry for Goldstein who scores 35% of his DT points by hit-outs. I can see wuite a few extra FA in 2013 for him with these new rules.
The articles I write are for entertainment. As I have always said, if people don't agree with them then fair enough.
RidleyU, you are a flowering spud.
Writing an article telling people to "never get this guy." Only for him to be one of the steals of the season.

you can modify your team post ( to name 4th defender) as much as you like UP UNTIL LOCKOUT
Good to know, sheesh ::) just like homework, maybe I should study the rules more :P

You all gave shower to (I think it was tbag, but not sure) tbag or whoever it was that traded me James Kelly for pick 16.
Right now the bloke with pick 16 is flowering winning. Kelly is in and out more than a male gigolo. So annoying. One week I was rushed and didn't even see he was back as well.
After his suspension he will have played 3 of a possible 9 games for me ::)
Lets go Ric! Battle of the spuds! ;D
@ Whatlez:
You can name anyone you want Whatlez, whether they are playing or not, with the exception of deliberate tanking, If you think the guy is a genuine shot to play, or you simply have no worthwhile option in his position name him....
There is a loophole which you may be trying to exploit, in naming a non playing player to get an emergency score from a better player on your emergencies from a better position.
eg - name a non playing defender at D4 and take 50% of a mid player you have on your emergencies.
I have to assume this is not your intention, if it happens often or is too blatant I may have to have a closer look, but there is no official rule however there is the intention I have already stated to not allow such practices. However 50% of your 7th midfielder assuming you have 4 mids 2 more on your utilities and the 7th on your emergency, it is a stretch to assume your 7th mid at 50% will outscore your 4th defender.
Anyway you can do it but just keep in mind that we don't want teams using such loopholes, however if you genuinely think your player named as an emergency (in his AFL team) is a shot to play I think that is ok.
IT IS ESPECIALLY OK IF YOU NAME A DEFENDER AS AN EMERGENCY. this way you still get a defenders score and no one can really complain?
tricky subject, we will form a rule on this next season.
On another note,
The only real rule in naming your team is - NO TANKING + NO MODIFYING YOUR TEAM SUBMISSION POST AFTER LOCKOUT.

You all gave shower to (I think it was tbag, but not sure) tbag or whoever it was that traded me James Kelly for pick 16.
Right now the bloke with pick 16 is flowering winning. Kelly is in and out more than a male gigolo. So annoying. One week I was rushed and didn't even see he was back as well.
After his suspension he will have played 3 of a possible 9 games for me ::)
Well, considering that pick #16 was Jackson Thurlow, who has played one game (last week), I'd say that you are still a mile in front of that trade. ;)
Hi Colli can l make a suggestion for a tweak of the rules for next season?
*l hope this is the right place to do it*
My idea is in-line with all forms of fantasy footy...... l think it'd be a good idea for us to be able to nominate 4 emergencies

i have no issue at all with 4 emergencies. would even be happy to put it to a vote for immediate start.
simply because it is a rule tweak certain to be of equal benefit to all teams, however it would slightly favour teams with more depth, however those same teams would be more likely with that depth not to need ANY emergencies....
Quotesimply because it is a rule tweak certain to be of equal benefit to all teams
No it isn't. It's a disadvantage to me. I deliberately went out and drafted my team so I'd have a F/R, M and D emergency list.
Therefore it'd destroy my entire drafting purpose/idea. Main reason I went the Hale/Roughead route. Would be a bit dodge to change it mid season imo.
so we will revisit it post season. I knew there would be a sensible reason not to change it and that you would be the one to point it out :)
Crabs won a game :o Guess they will find out how hard crashing back to earth really is!

@ Whatlez:
You can name anyone you want Whatlez, whether they are playing or not, with the exception of deliberate tanking, If you think the guy is a genuine shot to play, or you simply have no worthwhile option in his position name him....
There is a loophole which you may be trying to exploit, in naming a non playing player to get an emergency score from a better player on your emergencies from a better position.
eg - name a non playing defender at D4 and take 50% of a mid player you have on your emergencies.
I have to assume this is not your intention, if it happens often or is too blatant I may have to have a closer look, but there is no official rule however there is the intention I have already stated to not allow such practices. However 50% of your 7th midfielder assuming you have 4 mids 2 more on your utilities and the 7th on your emergency, it is a stretch to assume your 7th mid at 50% will outscore your 4th defender.

Josh Green is emg for the Lions and only 3 forwards are named this week. So he's a shot of playing if not ill get someone like lachie Whitfield and get half. Not cheating, just don't have the numbers.
flower yes, Troy Menzel debuting this week, straight into the side as F3 lol

didnt think you were as per my long winded comment it is a long shot to take advantage out of doing the loophole, but thought while saying it was ok for you to do it (name an emergency player) i had better make clear the rules and my thoughts on the practice.

If you cannot name a ruck you have an empty spot on your list and you get the highest scoring emergency you have at 50%, unless the emergency is used for a player in his position already, in which case you get the next highest scoring emergency you have at 50%

Mitch Clark and Trav Varcoe traded out of the team... :o
Nicely done there toga! Varcoe was always going to be a hard one to call but looks like we both made a good decision there 8)
I did consider durability in players so someone like Mitch Clarke i think i would'v traded I prefer and tried to draft and trade in consistent tuff players over an up and down inconsistent flashy player. I would prefer a solid 100 against a 140 one week and 60 the next :-\
Haha yeah thanks mate! I also narrowly avoided getting suckers off of Jay :-X
Probably call it luck but yeah XVs is all about consistency imo, that's what seperates a lot of teams!

I tried hard but I just can't like a Port player. I'm a Jamie Elliot man through and through 8)
flower I hope Gibbs is back this week
Off the top of my head:
Hong Kong Dongs
Liam Anthony
Lenny Hayes
James Kelly
Matthew Pavlich
Chad Cornes
Jack Grimes
Chris Newman
All missing just from our best XV... not to mention a lot of our next best players are missing like Clinton Young.
Kurt Tippett (susp.)
Charlie Dixon (???)
Taylor Hunt (8 weeks)
Adam Cooney (2 weeks)
Nathan Lovett-Murray (2 weeks) :o
Starting to mount up for us as well, with KT, Dix & Coondawg in our Best XV.

Beau Waters out again! ::) So frustrating.
Just remembered that I traded Enright + NAT #11 (Vlastuin) for Waters + NAT #58 (Hutchings). :-\
Imagine my backline if I didn't make that trade.
Danny Stanley, Paul Duffield, Corey Enright, Greg Broughton (Bob Murphy, Nick Vlastuin, Gwilt) :o

Bears panicking :o Settle petal!
Let selections happen and your guns and depth supply!
llamas could name a team but, as usual the sunday games has a bearing on player selection, so Tibet will wail for Sunday's teams before posting!
Early mail is not much change!
Gibbs! :D finally
Bennell >:( wtf
Jaybag facing off in Sri Lanka this week :o
OK so seems like there is some interest in a voting system for the Rising Star Award.. Do I need to start a new vote? :-X
As long as Gaz doesn't go down injured I don't mind who else does :D
Tory Dickson, Travis Varcoe and Alan Toovey the main guys out.
Only Dickson would have been pressing for a starting spot. Our last forward position is a bit uncertain atm.

This sounds like a good idea actually.
It'd be nice if my assistant was active so he could post my team for me. Assignment due in 7.5 hours gogogogo
GAj is due for a big one i reckon :-(
Well as the second leg of the JayBag, I have started to banter more in WXV, which is what the great Oz wants ;)
Let's see how the very proud WXV coaches respond to a larrikin amongst them :o
Ryback thinks he rules but ....... The JayBag know they rule!
game centre updated after first 3 games.
crabs and lambs the standouts, crocs too the leaders standing up.....
Going to be tight between the Folders and Eskimos. Really I won't be surprised if we lose again ::)

Didn't help we had 4 vested players including Dalziell who scored 6 and then knocked out.

the doc can call us all muppetts, but our muppetts are the cream of the FF community

Was tossing up between him and Mcevoy for 3rd round. Both had the same average, Jacobs more durable but Mcevoy younger. Ended up flipping a coin, went Jacobs.

Yeah good get BB!! :o Averaging 103 for a player picked up #175 isn't bad!
But what about a player averaging 99 picked at #555: Mike Pyke!! 8)
He's been x10000 better than Giles who we picked up at #75 haha.

News out of the Gazelles camp.
Paul Chapman continues to be set back with his ongoing hamstring problems many believe that Paul Chapman will not be seen playing a AXV football match again and will be announcing his retirement in the coming weeks.
Head coach Noz had this to say
QuotePaul has been a been a great role model since coming into the Turkish Gazelles team and his experience and input has been well listened by all, Unfortunately we knew that he was on borrowed time and won't always be around the football club. We have made the decision to make Paul a part time coach and player and will leave it up to Paul if he wants to lace up the boots again this season
game centre updated - final results are in ladder to follow soon.
ladder up :o
We are the pride of Old Hong Kong

GAME CENTRE for round 11 is up. Favourites I have up but none are set in stone, some of those teams have 6-7 premiums out, many including the player named as captain or vice captain or BOTH last week.
will be an interesting round where anything could happen. remarkable this round we have most games between teams even on the ladder also.
big week ahead.

Haha love it. ;D
Pretty sure I named Stanton captain once and it was like the week he got injured or something
And the only other time I didn't captain Buddy was when he killed it for round 9.
Pretty much a let down as often as he can be. He was a top 4 average player for the entire competition last year. Not even a top 10 forward this year.
Yeah, he's been killing my DT this year. Probably shouldn't have started him with all the contract talks, but heaps of people were jumping off him so I thought it'd give me an edge if he killed it.
So disappointing. :(
lol Marty Mattner, cheers ::)
Wow, who will the bottom three/four be? Hotly contested here!
Some teams have not had some luck or youth step up, others have, creating an immense battle at the tables foot!
Get amongst the Llamas, may not be bottom two :o
Get amongst the Eskimos, AISHY! ;D
I could probably make up a song for the Folders if I gave it a shot. :P
Same team but feels just a little bit badder now
Our team on the park but it don't looks the same
When the coaches talk about us, all it does is just tear me down
'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your names
It all just sounds like oooooh
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should traded better
And got decent players
Should have kept all the good ones
When I had the chance
Kept you under lock and key
'Cause all you wanted to do was win
Now my players are playing
But they're playing with another team.
My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
Caused some good decent like youse to walk out my team
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made,
Until next season, where itll be the same
It all just sounds like oooooh
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should traded better
And got decent players
Should have kept all the good ones
When I had the chance
Kept you under lock and key
'Cause all you wanted to do was win
Now my players are playing
But they're playing with another team.
Although it hurts
I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and trade you back into my team
But I just want you to know
I hope he gives you captain
I hope he gives you games
Give you all his honours
When he has the chance
Keep you under lock and key
'Cause I remember how much you loved to win
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your coach
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your coach
oh koop ;D what a wonderful rendition

Righto! It's on ;D
you two are honestly miles ahead of me.
i think it is the % of the persons posts that are in each section - ie 13.92% of MY posts are made in the AXVS threads.
given the two of you post SO MUCH MORE outside the AXVS threads your % of 11 and 12 would proably still be more total osts in the AXVS thread than my total posts in the AXVS thread
as for time spent in the thread, you can't compete :)

yes I am aware of this, not sure what i am going to rule on the matter yet - might have to make him use last weeks captains.
other option is to let him name the ones he actually did name but they didnt come out on the pose as he cuts and pastes from his phone. i know who they are to be if we end up doing it that way.
3rd option is he doesnt get to have captains at all.
* I am leaning towards following the rule for not naming a team and making him use last weeks named captains ( whether or not they are playing this week or named in the team)
guess i will have to make a decision on one of the three options pretty soon... it was not clearly stated in the rules what happens when people partially name a team and some of it missing.
clearly by accident.
Ah now I get it! CW has the most posts because he keeps telling everyone off ;)
I think you should make him use last week's or name so.Rome who hasn't played...

Surely if not named, then no Cap at all? Or last weeks if under speculation?
If I was playing him I would say no captain, but I'm not so I would give the benefit of the doubt.

yep totally pathetic....but easily the worst contributor for the Crabs this week ......the coach :-[
imo JBs just doesn't get captains Didn't name them as part of his team so they don't exist. A team was named but he didn't name them so bad luck.
Jesse White :D Keep it up spud :)
its not clearly in the rules, so i am going to have to put it to a vote..
I am for last weeks captains but whichever way i decide will either hurt him or his opponent for the week so the consensus of the coaches is the only way to go.
As far as Jb's situation i think last weeks captain is a fare ruling considering he's probably made a mistake and its not goingbto happen regularly. But to vote option B is putting a rolling lockout rule over the rest of the competition, unless im reading wrong ??? ..
Just my 2cents ;D
i would police such "rolling lockout" behaviour the same way i will police tanking. clearly would be a violation of the integrity of the comp to do this deliberately.
voting has 6 coaches to go in any case and fear of that option getting up is not necessary at this point ;)
JB did advise me he made a mistake and he cuts and pasted his team from his phone and often stuffs it up in british also.
so i know it is an honest mistake.
BUT - this is not about JB it is about the competition going forward and how we rule on this in the rare event it happens again.
But there is current copying and pasting issues which is in the feedback area... So its not just JB
Quote from: whatlez on June 08, 2013, 07:34:46 PM

Yes and we are all aware of it so Don't cut and paste :)
I know I know it is hard to do if you have to use a phone, but that is still a coaches choice to do it the easy way and cut and paste.
Again this is not about JB we just need a rule for it. I think personally we should give the benefit of the doubt to all AXVS coaches as we are all honourable champion blokes, but we need a rule one way or the other which will apply to ALL of us.
be it a harsh rule or a lenient rule, either way we need one....

Only Tuck from our mids has a chance of retiring at the end of the year.
However, if Sam Mitchell and Andy Walker gain backline status next year (which is a very high possibility), Gaff would probably make my utilities.
Imagine our backline then lol:
Sam Mitchell, Beau Waters, Paul Duffield, Andrew Walker
(Danny Stanley, Greg Broughton and Bob Murphy on the bench)

Both are a big chance of DPP IMO. Mitch has played across half back all year and Walker is pretty much a pure defender now.

Hanley to go mid only, Dixon to go fwd/ruck, might be in trouble down back...
updating game centre - looks like Ada might pick up some early draft picks next season, don't think he really needs more depth players ..
Sure yeah, you all want Gaff, but.

NO NOT YET - becasue the emergency he will use will be OUT OF POSITION I need to wait for the other one to play as he gets the one which is highest scorer. Could be Jamar... not likley but could be so that score is not added next to Carlile yet.

I'm happy to play them even though the Rd 13 matchup with the Folders will be a virtual reserves clash.
Gaz, Sloane, Zaka, Jolly, Kreuzer and Winderlich all out for me and Swan, Goddard, Cloke, McLean missing for them.
Look at our injury list, we are still scoring great this round! Depth
We've had like 31 of 40 senior players on our list play an AFL game this year. Dongs had one of the best teams coming into the season but got flowered hard.
updating final scores and results now in game centre.
My bad luck never ends. Two late outs in my fwds resulting in an OOP.

I was wondering Cw, how does picking up players who were not selected work? Like there is the Nat and rookie drafts... but how does it work? Can you get players not chosen in the nat draft or are they all on reserve for the main draft? Thanks.

Player we did not select in the drafts we have had so far ( as in players not NOW on any AXVS list - senior or rookie)
DO NOT EXIST.
The only players we can add to our lists each season other than trading are from the NATIONAL DRAFT, and PRESEASON/ROOKIE DRAFTS of the AFL.
If there are any more prelisted or mini darft nonsense I guess we can work them into the rookie/preseason draft for AXVS.
But all the players already on AFL lists that are NOT on AXVS lists - do not exist and never will unless delisted by the AFL and then recycled through the preseason/rookie draft.
They should go into the rookie draft imo Colli
Not good if we have players totally disappear. Also what happens if one player has 32 retirees from his list? Would be good to have backup non-selected players IMO.
They were selectable in Worlds and Euros, I know this isn't Worlds or Euros or anything. But then issues arise if AFL reduces team lists or stuff and we don't have enough players etc. etc.

No, neither was Jack Hutchins, Will Sierakowski, Sam Grimley, Jimmy Webster etc.
Seems a bit silly that a player could potentially be playing AFL but hav no way of getting onto an AXV list. Theres afew blokes i would likefrom the unselected

+1 some of these players could turn Elite and nobody has them.
Yeah if forced to pick from this year's rookie draft players a lot will never see the light of AFL football and will just be delisted
Seems a bit silly if we have to pick up someone worthless when Grimley, Blicavs etc. all go by untouched.

Yeah, that's because you have the whole Hawthorn ruck line Nails. :P
a note on the PM i sent you all regarding naming of teams and OOP players.
it is not a vote, or a choice of option a or option b - it is point a and point b - both are the case. You do what is best for your team on any given week.
the only rule is that you cannot name an OOP player or leave a slot blank if you have ANY playing player on your list for that position (senior listed or promoted to senior list player that is)
make sense?
Lol when I was doing the TOTW & RS this week Nicholls would've been in both, but he's not even on a list let alone playing seniors! :o

are you prepared to get the list of every single AFL listed player - not at the end of this season but after all the delistings and retirements over the off season.
check against all the AXVS lists and find all the ones that are "available" and give me a list of them ?
THEN - when do we draft them, in our preseason/ rookie draft?
I don't see the point of recycling old players, we have a full selection of 4 national draft picks which will ONLY be able to be used for national AFL draft picked players.
I am happy to add this "pool" of AFL listed players (as of 2014 after all the delistings and retirements) to our rookie/preseason draft.
but i am NOT going to work out who they all are and make a list.
I will put this option to the vote as many other things will be put to the vote following this innaugarel season. But someone else is going to have to come up with the list.
and be prepared to spend a few weeks doing it, and checking it and removing every player every time a club announces a retirement or delists someone.....

Lol when I was doing the TOTW & RS this week Nicholls would've been in both, but he's not even on a list let alone playing seniors! :o
I, like the others, agree that it's a good idea to have access to these guys :-X
are you prepared to get the list of every single AFL listed player - not at the end of this season but after all the delistings and retirements over the off season.
check against all the AXVS lists and find all the ones that are "available" and give me a list of them ?

Colli, they should still be in the draft thread.
Not accusing you or wanting to create more work for you CW as after all you know what needs to be done, and how it needs to be done - you're the boss and I respect your decisions, as I'm sure everyone else does as well. :)
If it's too hard then no worries!
*BTW my comment about Nicholls not being on a list was just something interesting I thought others might think is funny! :P
IIRC for our proper draft we didn't have a list did we?
Just don't have a list of them just make them known as available or something. They should be available imo
We all know a decent % of players drafted in NAT Draft/Rookie draft NEVER EVER see AFL games
I don't see a reason to be forced to draft them when there's players not yet selected getting regular/decent AFL action.

Man we left some guns on there.
ok we will vote on it.
as i said i am happy to put how we do it to a vote.
part of drafting is picking the right players as it is in the AFL, if you draft a spud - even if that spud was a high draft pick thats a fail, and it happens in the AFL.
I am for allowing this in the rookie/ preseason draft - as it feels right to me to be picking existing older players in that draft, but i think the national draft should be ONLY for what it is for - U18 talent. ONLY>
I will monitor the list and the delistings and retirements over the off season if we decide to include these existing players in either of or both of our drafts for next season.
it won't be that hard, it was just hard the first season i suppose next season will be easier....
anyway it will go to the vote. same as byes trades a few other rule points which have come up, and anything else which is raised by the end of the season.
if we can improve or make the comp better in the opinion of the majority of coaches we will naturally make the changes.
My main desire however is to try to make our competition as AFL - LIFE - LIKE as possible. I would like owning a team in the AXVS to be as close as possible to running a real AFL club... the list anyway...
I really wish I took Nicholls :( bi picked him up in British... And that is why I brought it up as I need a player to play ruckbthis week :(
Yeah I agree that some players should be allowed to be selected next year and should not be invisible. All these players should be able to be picked up in the rookie draft.
Definitely should be able to pick up those players who weren't selected. Doesn't make sense if they just go to waste and can never be picked. I personally think that they should be able to be selected in any draft. This is as if say Nicholls becomes an absolute gun this year, suddenly the rookie 1 pick becomes more valuable than the NAT 1 pick. I don't think it should be that way. You are the coach and you should be able to pick who you draft and when.

i get what you are saying but that is NOT how the AFL works.... the AFL teams can't just use national draft picks to pick up ANY PLAYERS other than the elligible national draft players.....
And it makes no difference either as the draft order for national and rookie/preseason in AXVS is the SAME in all future seasons, so the bottom team with pick #1 has it in the national draft and the rookie/preseason draft.

If you want to be more like the AFL, than the AFL can pick up players who's not currently in AFL through rookie draft... so we can pick up these players through the rookie draft?
that's what i am thinking Whatlez, yes, bt in the end we will come up with a few options and vote.

Nails btw, Chad Cornes out for the year hahaha
flower asians is such a dick
He was a gun defender last year too
Lost our 3rd and 4th best defenders after the draft
No Gram, no Chad Cornes
no flowering luck.
Bet you're regretting this trade Nails?
Strikers give: Scotland, ROOKIE pick 19 (Nathan Stark). Strikers get: Thompson (N.M), NAT pick 48 (Dean Terlich)
It's not really that bad, seeing as who got who is kinda irrelevant. Scotland could turn it around and get us into the finals and make it all worth it.
Although Thompson has been better than I would have liked. (except for Worlds)
Big news for the Headhunters.
This week see's the long awaited return of star fwd Brendan Whitecross. Whitecross was taken by the headhunters with their round 5 pick and was immediately put onto the LTi list. Whitecross is set to line up in the 2's this week, if all goes well he should make his debut for the HeadHunters next week against the Llamas.
Seeing as he didnt play last night i dont think he will be lining up in the headhunters 2s ;) Maybe your 3s :P
Dusty C and Lids VC :-* ;D
Need another big second half boys!
He should be playing for box hill on sunday, if all goes well he'll play after that for the hawks
Yea i got what you were saying, just being a smart ass since he wont play for the headhunters 2s this week ;)
And hawks already had their bye ;)
Yeh they did my bad i think they meant he'll play for boxhill after their bye... Which was last week ::) ..
Either way.. Great news for the headhunters!!! ;D

Only expect the Backline maybe the forwards to struggle, John "The Future" Butcher could even get a call up
Either way, we are hunting heads ;)

We're keen to pick up some youth.
Aside from Vlastuin our youngsters are woeful. No offence to the doc but I think some of these kids aren't ever going to play AFL.
Looking at the list of remaining players I dunno why some of them weren't taken instead.
What u chasing whatlez?
Really need forwards. I have ALOT of defenders.
So all my talented young... Rance, B.Smith, Nicholson, Sam Col, Harwood, Geary, Stratton, R.Thompson, Tom McDonald and others who aren't broken out yet. Also got top mids like Wines, Whitfield and Shiel who could go away for some strong forwards.
Lance Franklin + Stanton for Wines?
I am after a young good averaging forward as most of my forwards are quite old in Cox, Goodes, Chapman, Krakman etc
Monfries is up for sale
I've got plenty of youth ;)
l'm always in the market for a mutually beneficial deal

was even tagged by shiels, first tagged every game, when he learns to break it consistently he is going to be a superstar.
I just need forwards! Watts and possibly Day may lose DDP and Walker will miss a while next year. So forwards are necessary. And Gumbleton won't get another game for Essendon with Daniher showing to be a jet.
Oh flower I forgot to name Craig Bird.
And he is having a great game ... Would've been much better on the field than Ash McGrath I'm sure ::)
How much is Wines or Whitfield worth?
I got heaps of talented Forwards ;)
Captain my captain, all good now but, who will it be next year :-[

Pittard, Wingard, Thurlow, Carter, Batchelor, Vickery, Butcher, Neale, Forster, Ben Kennedy, Tim O'Brien, Ramsey, O'Hanlen, Kersten,
There abouts: B Jacobs, Danger, Gaff, Otten, Laird, Brown, Kerridge, Lynch,
So yeah, plenty in the good teams ;)
I don't care what happens this week Nails if your captain keeps it up (even though I don't play you.
He's my DT captain this week. What a quarter.

I have never heard of half those players.
I'd happily give up a forward or two for some young talent.
Also if anyone needs depth down back hit me up because I have about 3 extra guys there.
Dickson interest anyone?
We jys need no-spuds :(

Jack Watts 8)
Watts the chance of him being DPP next year? Playing forward today, has played in defence??

It's Dickson (Tory).
I'm mainly interested in some younger mids. I know you have plenty. Someone like a Macrae or Clay Smith type?
Have some interest in Ben Jacobs and Pittard as well.

Tbag rates Clay Smith as high as Danerfield lol.
Nah pass, I wanted that GC boy!
#Lezbo, Clay will never be as good as Danger's left nut
But a fine M3/4 or Ut!
So basically tbag u think in a couple of years the ladders is going to be the complete reverse?
U named 6 teams u think will make it to the top 8... Good luck with that
Tbag how's our deal going? I'm keen to lock it in haha
llamas are fine and yes, the "window" will turn, Tibet drafted beautifully and you can all hail the Llama!
Remind me Lez, something can be done as I recall?
Haha no deal done deal.. but some of your favs might be moving to the Llamas!

Marc Murphy, Ryan O'Keefe, Matthee Priddis, Scott Thompson

Not sure, our fwd line is something I really rate atm, is gun with a lot of depth, esp. When Dixo gets DPP next year but that might mean our defense is a bit weak. Maybe a gun defender, or ruckman? Or an up and coming mid?

Tom Lynch (Adelaide) is being overrated. Do not rate. Kersten? Who is that? :P O'Brien, Milera, Murdoch
might prove to be stars, same with Tom T Lynch.
Cameron, Matera, Smith, Vickery, Kennedy are the only ones I really rate. Wingard would strengthen it a lot.
Right now i'd say yes, depends what role he plays now though, if he keeps being put forward as the go to guy surely he has to get it for next year?
@Toga :P
@Toga, Shane Kersten Geelong's first pick two years ago, good kicking key forward
Tommy will be handy with Tex back, leading up field taking marks, many many marks ;D
Let's not forget Tibet's first rounder coming up in November :o

Hanley, Houli, Malceski,
Dixon, Lake, Bock, Logan
First four there are guns with some more than handy backup. ;)
Dixon losing DPP will hurt a bit but I'm sure well be ableto cope. :P
He will be on the trade table though.
Lake only as one more year. Bock will retire most likely and Logan is unknown. So I dunno.
Llamas could be available but! Remember that most of these kids are talent, talent doesn't get traded for mid price spuds ;)
So do your selves and us favour, don't offer us any mid price spud!
Also certain players are off limits, that would be obvious, Cameron, Danger, Wingard ect
Matera? I am keen. And Lynch.
Trade me Dixon :D
Those guys can be available, but no BS, only want to deal with "real" traders, had enough of last years crap
Who was saying - let's see how you go without Gaz captain..
I'm pretty Stokes-ed with my choice at the moment...
Like most, we'll be hunting gun backs this trade period. And maybe even a ruck if flowering Sam "I'm a 3rd round AXV pick" Jacobs doesnt start cracking the ton?
Have a couple of youngish mids on the table, Tom Scully + Reece Conca and also have plenty of forwards and will look to give some of them up... JJK, Clark, Hoff, Walters, Daisy, Elliot, Jenkins, Rohan etc.
I might look for some of those forwards :O
Wow, really interesting to look back at the draft. Here are the first 2 rounds :)

Round 1.
Pick 1. Nails = Lance Franklin

Pick 29. Tor01doc = Rory Sloane
Pick 30. Colliwobblers = Mitch Robinson
Pick 31. KoopKicka = Cyril Rioli
Pick 32. Nails= Jack Grimes
So quite clearly, in hindsight, Lance Franklin was the worst selectin of the first round for where he was taken. How did Dolphins get Gary at 4 :o shoulda been top 2! KJack at pick 14 has proven to be good value 8)
Think JPK at 20 was a steal for JB but Ebert, Foley, Zorko, Robbo all went too early imo. Crocs got a good one with Gibbs @ 28.
How do you think you went in the draft?
Pick 10
That is all ...
But a special mention to pick 23
Thanks for Wingard ;D
If only you all knew the web of draft pick trades that went after this first trade :P
:o
Marc Murphy at 11 is surprising
Foley at 26 and Robbo at 30 amazes me even more
NicNat at 24 seems good value
Foley @ Pick 26 ::) :'( :'(

shower - Beams not a single game, robbo i traded for a spud who is no longer in his teams best 22.
there was a sweetener from memory but yeah suffice to say i have not had games out of my top two picks all season. or close enough.
Nat Fyfe at 18 is a sneaky steal
Nick Riewoldt at pick #146 has to easily be one of the steals of the draft. 8)
And people were laughing at me when I nearly took Barlow at #18. ::) Changed him to Fyfe last minute as I thought he'd be DPP. >:( :'(
Fyfe is still a gun though.

Flying under the radar massively
Whoever picked the team I have did a decent job except when it came to the youngsters.
Some of the kids in this team I have never heard of - had to look up their positions and I'm not sure they will ever play a game.
Otherwise we have good depth unlike some teams and a bunch of unheralded but good-scoring players.
Interesting that Sloane was our second pick - where did Kreuzer and Zaharakis go? They would have been decent value I think.

yes he stepped up and the "spud" i got for robbo stepped down - wright. might give him to tbag for a last round draft pick just so he can have another crow - that is if they don't delist him....

Yep, Spink was the first coach and picked up all the guns, Heppell21 wasted most of his picks on spuds, Doc finished off the draft and handed it over to Memph before the start of the season.
I don't think Murphy was a bad pick at 11, he has so much potential and kicks goals, which is great for this comp, but admittedly if it had have been me drafting I probably would've gone with someone different. ;)
Mike Pyke at 555 averaging 88 and the ranked 15th on averages for rucks and that includes Hudson and Nicholls above him played less than 5 games.
#steal
Yeah haha I've mentioned that one before. We wasted an early pick on Giles, Mike Pyke is THE MAN!!
Robert Murphy has also proven to be a massive steal for us at pick #402. :o :o :o He is currently the 5th highest averaging defender!
He has taken over Broughton's D4 spot in our backline thanks to Greg being such a spud this year.
round 13 results and ladder up.
Well thank flower those byes are over
Bears, Folders and Lambs...
Dongs have one of the hardest finishes to the season. Colli bent us over and flowered us in the arse it would seem. Going to have to fight hard and hope for players to return from injury if we're to maintain a spot in the 8.
Perfect timing for us to get Murph back before we verse you. :P
#LambDomination #Baa
Hopefully Hayes, Stanton and Pavlich all back this week. A Jack grimes return soon would be nice. Hopefully James Kelly can play the rest of the season instead of constant injuries and suspensions. Was great to get Liam Anthony back this week. Dalziell was solid. Hopefully Clinton Young can debut soon.
Hopefully Buddy finds his old form.
We need all these players to come back/return to form so we can have a proper tilt at the finals.
Carnage! Barlow, Scooter :(
Tibet want a Ruckman, as long as he can play, doesn't matter who, certain players not available but maybe a forward or mid or pick, young backs can be?

Jon Giles, Mike Pyke, Trent West, Jake Spencer, Craig Moller all up for grabs ;)
Titch for Giles?
Our forwards will be dominant next year, with Stevie, Jroo, Tippett, Petrie, Dixon, Hill, Bock, so probably don't need forwards... Would definitely like to see some offers including defenders.
But I don't have any Richmond defenders :p
I already got the best one >:D

I have Rance :D
What time is it? Time to Lairdy dance
(http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-dance008.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)
Rucks need apply, rubbish knows where the bin is!
Our backline will be stacked next year.
Sam Mitchell (?), Beau Waters, Paul Duffield, Andrew Walker, Danny Stanley, Robert Murphy, Greg Broughton.
Holy shower that's good, we have plenty of defenders to offer up...
Our forward line will still be alright next year with our top 3 being N.Riewoldt, Robbo (imagine if it was Dusty :() and Harvey, but we'll be seriously lacking in depth.
Give us some forwards and we'll give you a gun defender!
Harvey? Next year? Almost doubtful. Maybe...
@Ada, if Charlie Dixon goes Fwd/Ruc (which he should), we'll be talking to one another I daresay!
How many players do you guys have in the top 50 (by average)????
I've got 5 8)
Griffen, Douglas, Deledio, Dusty and Ziebell

I got 4.

For total points no he doesn't. So I'd still have four then.
4 players in the Top 50; Johnson (#2), ROK, McVeigh & Scotty Thompson.
The Llamas might want Mike Pyke, expect negotiations Toges. ;)
We've got 4 guys in the top 50 averaging.
NRoo (#4), Boyd, Jelwood and Fyfe (with Sam Mitchell at #52).
2 :( Hurry up and end this flowering season already.
Well players like Ball and Tom Mitchell have only played a couple of games so they should be taken out.

Wow I'd actually forgotten about them. They're actually quite time consuming and I don't really have the time to write them any more at the start of each week. If someone else would like to do them, they are quite welcome.
i could probably do them like Ringo does in British, but I would probably have to enforce coaches updating their own team scores like Ringo does, doing both is simply too much time.
I am not sure i want bonus points in AXVS for updating your scores each round, because i am pretty sure it won't get done and sooner rather than later results would be affected by people not updating team scores..

Dongs got flowered in the arse by the draw.
We have to play the team 1st on the ladder AWAY both times. The fact we have to play them twice is enough.
For our 4 games where we play opponents we already played this season we get current ladder positions:
4th, 1st, 3rd and 9th.

Hmmm well two games at home against the Dongs sounds pretty easy.

Shuddup Nials, I have to play 1st, 2nd, 4th and 7th again and you dont see me complaining? HTFU.
In British my last 5 games have been against 1st , 2nd, 4th, 1st.
my next game is against yep 1st again.
the 3 after that all teams guaranteed to be in the top 4 or 5.
Positions are irrelevant to the draw as who knew the positions in round 11,12,13,14 etc before the season started.
Next season will be a fairer draw however based on far more accurate team rankings and final ladder positions.
home and away games are the same for each team, making this happen meant not being able to make every other thing equal, the draw was tricky, may open it up to a bit of feedback and revision next season...
but one thing is for certain, there is no way on Earth everyone will be happy with ANY draw = impossible.
and another thing that is certain, the best teams SHOULD have the toughest draw, not by much, but if there is a team to play twice, you would expect a bottom team would play another bottom team twice and a top team would play another top team twice.
the home and away against that team you play twice tho i may be able to get right next season.... shouldn't have to play them away twice or at home twice, i agree with Nails on this point.

I also happen to know that three of these guys/phantoms are in the top 200 #AFLFantasy players atm.
Gotta admit, being without Murphy & SJ for the next two weeks (our C & VC) is a bit nerve-racking... We have the Strikers this week and Tigers next.
Hopefully we can still score reasonably well and keep our hold of the Golden Bhudda!

I wasn't having a go at British :) just the luck of the draw mid season, you could just as easily be playing 4 bottom sides in a row...
BUT - Appreciate the love from TBAG for AXVS as always, and as I always say it is the people in it that make it, literally since "how it is run" is pretty much exactly how the people in vote for it to be run.
First year mistakes are made, we will tweak it next season and it should only get better....

Who is Aidan Riley and/or do you think Crouch will be the sub this week?
With Barlow out I might have to play him in DT. Though I could trade Barlow or SJ so I don't play Crouch (but I want to get Gibbs in).
Doubting Crouch as sub
Aiden Riley is a local boy from Sturt off the Rookie list, about 21 yrs old played some good AFL footy last year, bit of an unfashnable midfielder, has a future

I have created a new thread for trade talk, note no trades will be accpeted in any form until the window opens following the 2013 season.
further that window will not open until certain aspects of the trade process have been voted on in the case of slight modifications we may make.
you can discuss trades and anything here but have a look at the new thread and you can also discuss it all there and lodge information you will see i can update for you under your team for other to see,

Hahaha yeah I have no idea how Wright isn't in the team, he's a good player. I hope he turns his form around for you. As you said he has the ability to become a premium.

@Nigey, to get players we have to give, I like the players we got?
This week: Couldn't fit in a good back/mid/forward! How it gonna be next year?
maybe some 2nd year blues for the llamas next season, but like the GCS going to be a scary good team in a couple of seasons i'd be betting. same as a couple of other AXVS teams.
how good is prestia just keeping on going IMO....
o'meara, dead set as if he wasnt already going to be a superstar, learning under ablett you can already see what a player he is going to be, then there will be martin next season.

Let me get this right.
Name Matty White 2 weeks straight - sub
Emg Matty White and name Oliver Wines and Wines will be the sub and White should avoid the vest.
Sounds about right. Have half a chance with Gary spudding, but with this, it makes me angry.
SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDS MAN ;D
Wines did tear it up that quarter. Makes up for it just a little...
I'm sorry Wines for doubting you :-*
Monty has him BOG :o
Also Boak is injured :'( noooo. My captain and only good player left!!
won't see wines sub again any time soon you would think.
Mitch Duncan has been a great pick up. Only dropped under 100 3 times and including tonight has had 6 120+ scores

Wow that was close. Unheralded players ftw - Dan Jackson has got to be one of the most under-rated players in the AXV comp...

That's very good news for the Llamas with Lairdy and Browny to cover for him ;D Probably Jaensch and Smith, more Smith to get that role, but long term Lairdy is Reilly's replacement ;)
Bad news for the crows though with already relying on young men to step up, now another senior goes down!
When Reilly went down, Smith dominated. Get around Brodie!!!
Ok probably should've named TY ::) Been inconsistent though :P Thursday game threw me off! Didn't name Clay Smith Either :P
Wanted toi jive Butch a go (DNP) Had to name JC (DNP) Din't name Kennedy or Kerridge either both been in good form!
Getting tough to name players in our forwards each week! Even with two GC boys down!
So Big Ty did some Rucking with no Mullet! Good news ;) Though should be an F/R already ::)

Just as he was hitting some gun form, Boyd is gone for 3-4 weeks with a fractured jaw. >:(
Hopefully he'll be right for finals and can pump out some big scores.

No Im just saying tbag is in GWS's situation and Im in Melbournes if that makes sense. No way Id ever tank. :o
i would never suggest you would tank :) just my job to watch the bottom teams, including my own.....
interesting to see who will go first, some awesome mids this seasons draft, aish the first you would think, but in sportsbet maybe boyd will be worth as much or more due to a lot of mids but not too many ready to go key fwds.....
The "T" word being mentioned :o Oh dear ??? Anyway famous win Koop!Picks 3-5 aren't exactly poor ;)
Here's a T word for ya! Tbag ;D and the coach is very happy with the progression and competitiveness of our boys!
Last year our recruiters planned a huge drafting move to land Jimmy the Gun, will they do similar to get the Nowrood boy or will they take the giant, or that other unnamed player? :o
Edit: I'm sure my assistant won't tolerate my blatant SA bias ???
And whatlez is the GC :D
guess i'll take the Lions.
bulldogs might be more accurate but with beams back ill be good enough to match the lions i think ;)

Should be a massive percantage boost against the Llamas this week even without our skipper :(
Media Guru Mr X:
After a year long Setting up of the mights Llamas, the TLFC, Head Coach Tbag will be holidaying on the Christmas Island (Christmas in July) and will miss the lead up to the clubs biggest game and the SHOWDOWN at Football Park, Tbag will be back to watch the Showdown but will sit out as Head Assistant Nigey takes over his first game for the Llamas.
The Llamas form has dipped in recent weeks and Tbag is in need of a refresher after putting so much blood and sweat into these terrific young men!
Basically I'll be away :P See ya's all sunday night! Leaving in the morning!

How good is it for the Folders to have 1st and 4th on this list? Good thing neither are getting games any time soon.
Ok, I realise Beau Waters is injury prone, but seriously? he's out again for another 3 weeks...

Tbag who? :P Nah have fun.
BEAMS IS BACK
you flowering beauty !
Haha i was happy for u wen i saw that colli
Miss me? ??? Man those Pies can run CW, Beams created some problems
with Swan, Pendles and Sidbum getting fee,. looking like a real teal now!
Dangers injury hurts my SC and Sloane robbed imo, knew I should've C Pendles over GAJ ::) Anyway, can still get 2400 SC so decent week, considering the only scores I saw was the Sunday Mail this morning :P
Thanks to Nigey! How frogging good was Lairdy defencivley! Outstanding game from #46
welcome back tbag hope you enjoyed your weekend away.
Pies have a long way to go..... Crows will be a better side with Tex back next season, tough year without him. Lynch has been good but without that powerhouse key fwd it is an uphill battle.
what the hell is up with matty wright this season... they resigned him, i thought they would have delisted him, i will be...
Il give you my third round draft pick for him collie :P
What's worse? Nails taking Franklin at pick #1 in the draft or us trading Dustin Martin for Mitch Robinson?
We'd be absolutely dominating if we kept Dusty. >:(

i cut robbo for wright, i knew robbo was never going to be elite but i didnt know wrght was going to be such a flowering useless hack, plays shower or is omitted and nothing else.
3rd round pick i might take that deal, but a deal i definately will be doing on him. then he will dominate. ;)
still martin > robbo > wright
that makes me the biggest spud? or ada ? maybe a tie :)
Give Wrighty a chance, he won't be delisted
I traded Martin, then Heppell, for Trengove, finally got Picks 2/14, Jimmy, Benny and Jack thankyou ;D
Sure we know Dusty is a star is how I got Heppell and pick 2 from Adas, hold faith you spuds with the other blokes! Or Tiber will have em ;D
Wright for What DW?
haha he is a crow you will pay more - i deal with you :)
i'll give you him cheap because i like you ;)
new trade rules coming for next season.... approval process that is, will be the hardest thing we have to work out in our changes votes when the season ends....
How about this:
When drafting it was my turn and I decided I'd choose either Pav or NickRoo
Looked at NickRoo and he had a good average but only scored well against shower team. Said to myself well Saints are getting worse so he might not be that good next year.
Therefore went Pav who averaged slightly higher and said Freo were improving so should he.
We'd probably have 1-2 extra wins if we took NickRoo over Pav. Pav has been out heaps and playing shower whereas if we had NickRoo would be like an extra 50-80 points per game with NickRoo over Pav/Pav's replacement. Probably a good 100 points some weeks.
Haha and I ended up getting NRoo at pick #146. :o what a steal.
I rated Robbo so highly in the pre-season and thought he'd be a much 'safer' F1 than Dusty for us. If I knew that NRoo would turn back the clock, I probably would've kept Martin as our forward line would've been super strong :(
nroo was a great get, and i reckon robbo will improve greatly under mick, he has the defensive side to his game mick demands, and with judd on the way out in a year or two he has a spot in the midfield locked down. carrazzo cant have long to go either so robbo is part of the future.
wouldnt be surprised to see him go to the next level after another preseason under mick next year.
nroo looks to have 2 or 3 to go, could he be the fwd version of fletcher.....
Yeah we wan't Texas, what do you need in return?
I need 2 forwards for one. Or similar just because I'm short and need forwards ASAP. Good chance I'll have only like 5 on my list as Hansen and Day will either get D/F or D. Any help I can get... Lol
Sure i'll give those two you wanted, see what else we can do?

The boys had a few quiet ones earlier in the year, but they showed what they are capable of a few weeks ago when they made the highest score for the year. World Cup campaign should start strongly against the Crocs.
Good luck to all the AXVS teams in the world cup, not sure how this formula will treat us in scoring but i feel we have some top notch teams and hopefully we can still have some in it by the time the missing premiums come back...

good bunch over there but not very up and about , except Whatlez but he doesn't count he is OURS !

Nothing man! But ATM Koop is in front, then CW throws some tempting options :o
matera whoever i need players a couple of years along, my team is shower, i have some good kids for the future but cant wait for them to develop....
too far along the youth path also to change it now and take old players so i will need to trade smart, give up things other people need to get what i need, maybe give up a few future stars for ones i need more,
and definitely i will be giving up most of my draft picks, if i cant get boyd (which i won't at my position on the ladder) i don't need any more mid gun kids, so i'll just trade my early picks for late picks and pick up players later in the draft with luck which will serve me well if i do my homework.
Most of my top draft picks are up for trade if anyone going for youth is interested.
I'll trade fir picks?
Then I'd be sacked for bad list management, like the GC and GWS, but wait? ..........
They are still there? They traded for draft picks and was perfectly legal somehow? Sorry Demons but this is true?
Tell me again how Dumetriou makes 2k a year? :o Two clubs "Cheat" but nothing happens?
#It is the responsibility of every club to present the best team they can each year on field, GC and GWS have failed as seen through their trading for high drft picks! #Cheats!
Well, the Llamas aren't like the two pathetic clubs, we will trade to make us competitive!
Not really. They're trading their showerty players for draft picks that will be better players. They're trading players outside their best 22.

Jarrad Grant beginning to look tasty.
Looks like he might start to be a chance for selection. 86.5 DT average across his 2 games. Gia was gun in the end. Hopefully VC Stants lifts (68 DT at 3QT)

Won't mind a forward missing with Hale to come in for them it looks like. Hopefully someone misses. Schulz out would be nice

Won't mind a forward missing with Hale to come in for them it looks like. Hopefully someone misses. Schulz out would be nice
J. Brown out
WOOP WOOP WOOP
from now on (TBAG) if you name a player without his correct name, as in a nick name, i will just record his score as DNP.

Also I'm willing to dangle the Sloane carrot in front of you though probably have to be a 2-3 player deal not a straight swap.

flower, now Brett Goodes is done for the season. Bye bye home final :-\
To be fair I actually use their real names
But I just put a huge nickname in the middle.
I was right, now that Gia is avoiding the vest he was a STEAL in the draft. Round 25 draft pick averaging 114.66 when not sub.
Pretty sure Mike Pyke @ Pick 555 (Round 35) is THE steal of the draft. ;)
JJK at 174
Westhoff at 211
Walters at 238
Elliot at 275
Podsiadly at 462
How is that for some steals 8)
Most of those were still best XV picks :P
Gia was around pick 400.
Pyke wasn't! Went in to this season thinking Giles was clear #1 and Pykey would just be depth, how I was wrong!
Although Jonny G may find himself back in the side while Brogan is playing, lets him kick more goals and frees him up a bit..
Nick Riewoldt at pick #146 surely is the steal of the draft. He's top 5 in the comp for averages!
Still happy with my #Rd35 Rory flowering Laird! Even if most of you didn't know him, I knew ;)
I think Toga wins.
Who gives a flower? This thread just rotates once a fortnight into. My pick was the biggest steal, no mine was.

Well not SJ and Scotty T directly. There was other players involved surely? Lol
Yeah. Other players involved but pretty much he was the "big fish" that got us the players we needed to get SJ & Thommo (thanks Jayman! :-X :P)
Lol nice. You will win this week though.
Should win I think although Rance dominating might make it a bit closer! Thankfully we don't have Dolph's / Folders / Bears this week without SJ!
He better not get suspended again, I'll be pissed off if he does! >:(

i got those guys all of them.... grigg has disappointed this season but showed again today why i gave up an older scotty T for him.
Howe should be a star, and hurn was someone i had to have, but has not lived up to my expectations, need another eagle defender to become more dangerous than him so he can lose that tag and maybe be a gun defender in fantasy terms.
my trading in general was woeful this season, i must be too nice....
still wright also having a good game and maybe wasn't as stupid a trade as it has felt all season (robbo i gave up for him) believe i got a sweetner too but still wright has been another massive viper disappointment.
any fear of me getting a good assistant coach who might have more of a clue about trading than I do..... ::)
Colli, no one has really won this trade yet ;)
Vipers get: Mcintosh, Palmer
Strikers get: D.Thomas, Ceglar
Think I'll win long-term but H-Mac and Daisy have done nothing for either of us :o

funny isn't it. I needed Hmac to play to increase his value for trade bait for me, i have strong ruck stocks, but i need hmac fit, i need warnock to be traded, i need daw and gawn to cement their spots ( and i will keep one trade the other).
then i have burger who i keep.
i took hmac with burger in doubt at the seasons start warnock no firm chance of being a starter, and daw and gawn unlikely to see regular action.
wasted trade in the end which cost me a star in daisy, palmer has been ok but in and out of the side and frankly in one more season if he doesnt become a crowly like tagger he may have no chance of getting a game at the giants, either way he is worthless for fantasy...
still it was a fair trade, hmac could be an elite ruck, daisy an elite mid/fwd - fwd at the pies, mid at the blues.
if he goes to the blues - you win by a mile ;)

I dont think so. Brown is a shower scorer and Gaff cant break a tag.
I traded Brown and Gaff FOR Golby and Dale Thomas effectively... I dominate that imo.
round 17 ladder is up, battle for 4th spot heats up could come down to %
2 teams only outside the 8 can make it in with 2 wins and no wins for ne or more teams already in the 8.
Lairdy is a superstar, Chad the Boss could win Charlie, Cameron the best since Carey, what a "Beast!"
Now just sell me Griggy, Murdoch, Lyons and we will all be friends :) Except Lez who won't swap Tex to me because he doesn't like my young team being better!
Was just reviewing the scores from last week and noticed something though it won't affect the result just the margin.
Maybe it was my bad but Vlastuin should be a def/mid not a def/fwd which means I shoulda have gotten his score for Rosa not Varcoe's.
Beating the Dolphins, priceless
Antagonizing them on chat? Priceless!
Just letting everyone know that I will be going away tomorrow, where I will not have internet, and will not be back until late on Sunday, so I will leave my team in the very capable hands of nrich for the round. Hopefully the Folders can move on to the third round of the cup under his guidance, and get another win here to cement a place in the top 4!

favourable draw, PLUS - Llamas are their "rival" so they have played them twice on top of having a favourable draw.
the playing your rivals twice as well as how i formulate the draw will change next season depending on how we vote and what we come up with.
Gazelles were always a top 8 team, decent all round team over there! They will want to make the most of the "Soft" Llamas this year! Things change ;)
Had them top 6 pre-season, no surprises to me! But what do I know (Leading tipster ;))
Guess I should update the odds :-[
you were pretty close with your predictions Tbag - well done, another thing that was pretty close was the champion data ranking points i applied.
and yes the Llamas, Crabs, Crocs, eskimos, Vipers even Elephants will be much improved teams next season. the improvement of a lot of those young players in the late part of this season has been surprising.
add another preseason - some - many are going to break out next season. or at least have big games which will totally change the performance of these AXVS teams.
add to that some smart trading and next season will be interesting indeed.
Gazelles still have plenty of room to improve as well.
Jed Anderson, Tom Mitchell, Matt Shaw, Mitch Clisby, Dane Rampe, Adam Oxley, Jack Viney, Jonathan Simpkin Aiden Riley and big Liam McBean will all improve next season
Ben Cunnington, Mitch Duncan, Brandon Ellis and Sharrod Wellingham will all become elite players next season.
Gazelles won't be bowing out of the premiership hunt for at least a few more years

I have some good ruck stocks and peoples do be needing dem ruckmens ;)
I'll be keeping my first two round draft picks not going to totally change the youth policy i started with, but hope to add a player or two in most lines except ruck that are reliable and quality.
to be honest you are only being slightly harsh, i don't have a lot of trade bait so the improvement of the vipers will take time and be dependant on a number of mid tier and young players breaking out or at least improving considerably.
BUT - we have fared MUCH better since Beams returned. But then lecras goes out, and hurn been gone for weeks now... other than that we just suck...
Will we be limited to just 4 list movements again next trade period or will there be more?
Also if one club delists more players than another how does it work, do we just get extra picks at the end of the next draft to make up our numbers.
We have quite a few 'spuds' on our list I'd like to get rid of...
Or do clubs have to delist the same amount of players, like a set number - 5, 10 etc

you cannot delist more players than you are going to draft.
you can delist more senior players than you draft by promoting rookies off your rookie list - that is the only way.
if you draft 4 nat picks you must delist 4 senior players.
you can delist 6 senior players for example and upgrade 2 rooks and draft 4 nat picks.
likewise you can / HAVE TO delist or promote rookies off your rookie list to make room for your available rookie picks.
ONLY IF - you have retirements and delisting by the AFL clubs which exceed our draft picks both in national and rookie will you then get addition rookie picks at the end of the rookie draft.
YES - trade list movements are limited but there are two trade window, pre drafts and after drafts - cant remember the movements think it is 4 per window ?

As many picks as we can and as high as possible given that we're likely to be starting at pick 16.
Looking at our team there's about 10 players I think we could delist, possibly more which gives an opening for a few more draftees/unpicked players.

at the end of the season there will be a "pre drafts" trade period.
in this period and after it up until the nat draft, you can delist players.
you must have dlisted as many players as you need to have to allow for you to take whatever picks in both the nat draft and rookie drafts, BEFORE the start of the nat draft.
following the rook draft there will be a second trade period.
so yes all delistings will be done BEFORE the nat draft starts. BOTH of senior players (to make way for nat picks) and of rookie listed players (to make way for rook picks)
promotion of rookies will also take place BEFORE the start of the nat draft.
any tweaking or refinement of the exact rules we need to discuss and vote on ( not every option is open for voting on some things will not be changed) in the feedback thread.
Coll had anything been discussed/decided on what will happen if any players cop bans/punishment for taking ban substances?
Will there be any compo? Or will we just have to keep them on our list or delist them at the end of the year? Could be some quality players sitting on lists for 2 years doing nothing.
Looks like Saad might be in a bit of trouble
TRADE # 24.
JROO8 (UAE Tigers) gives Brent Stanton + Dustin Fletcher + Caloan Mooney
Nails (Hong Kong Dongs) gives Clancee Pearce + Ryan Griffen + Sam Blease

saad is a one off cae so disregard him.
as for the bombers that is a big issue if an entire squad cops significant bans, but given the directive from the club to take what was told to the players was legal, they may still escape bans, or have smaller bans / penalties.
even so i think it is "generally" an even spread of AXVS teams that have bombers players so nothing will be done in the form of compensation.
i would probably allow rookie promotions and treat suspended bombers as LTI for the duration of the bans.?
ofcourse you can choose to delist anyone but you wouldnt want to delist a 22 year old gun bomber for example who has a 2 year ban ( if that was the case). you would just have him out suspended for however long the ban was and put him back in when the ban ends.
we can vote on this but given the spread of players through most AXVS teams, it is not a huge impact and can be business as usual. no matter what we voted on a watson or stanton type player cant be fairly compensated for anyway....
these things happen, i think we just play on :)
Yeh was think more along the lines of a Watson or Stanton who are guns. I would hurt those teams quite a bit to have them on the sidelines for ages. I guess we'll deal with it when/if it happens
How would one go about changing rivals? Or is that just a bit much?

Yeh was think more along the lines of a Watson or Stanton who are guns. I would hurt those teams quite a bit to have them on the sidelines for ages. I guess we'll deal with it when/if it happens

yes i think what happens in the AFL is mirrored here except instead of all of one teams being suspended here, it will be random players from many teams, which is easier to absorb than it will be for the bombers :)
as for compensating with extra picks, as i pointed out that is not really going to be workable ( as in how do we determine order?) plus it would compromise our draft.
plus compo for watson will be inadequate whatever it is so best not to bother.
As for the rivals, i just thought we might after a season have a better idea who our rivals really are, they were picked at the start without much thought and many rivalries are probably meaningless , i am rivals with the crabs but have no history from this season in games results or banter to really justify them as a rival, i am sure many of us are in the same boat and actually have genuine rivals which are not our current rivals.
i think it is feasible that rivals change over time like in the real AFL....?
Woo! No Essington players in my best XV!! :D
myers dempsey and melksham for me, plus 3 more on the outside of my best 15...
still don't think we need to do anything about it, hopefully tho we will know before we trade and draft so we can at least make arrangements to offset the pain if there is any..

he might kick 10 against the dees this week but he still won't win it i feel this season, but he will win it eventually.
hard to say when with patton and boyd joining him in the fwd line next season......

Coll had anything been discussed/decided on what will happen if any players cop bans/punishment for taking ban substances?
Will there be any compo? Or will we just have to keep them on our list or delist them at the end of the year? Could be some quality players sitting on lists for 2 years doing nothing.
Looks like Saad might be in a bit of trouble
and whoever owns zaka has nothing to worry about either :)

Everyone, EVERYONE! Except the Tippsters leader has tipped the Crabs!
So, will either be three clear or back in with the pack!
Why did I tip the Llamas? One reason, this game means so much to the fans and our club, the boss had to get on board!

Also the Crabs Suck!

Ah ok, by your logic:
Watts is better than Nic Nat?
Cooney is better than Ablett/Swan?
Scully is better than Martin?
Hmm... Ok.
Trust me mate, at the end of their careers Coniglio will be significantly more decorated than Whitfield.

Thanks Colli, we had some big weeks, while also some disappointing weeks losing to a couple of the bottom teams. Looking forward to the trade period to further boost my squad and hopefully we play finals next year.
Hey guys, head on over to Kathmandu's B&F now, its starting! Wishing all who entered in the Almanac award good luck. :D
Disappointing we're not in the finals, but the Tiges are going well.
Tigers 1518 from 8 + C + VC
V
Folders 1152 from 8 + C
Looks like we could knock them off :o
EDIT: Forgot to say this is a World Cup clash.
Any body can get lucky in 1 week Jroo ;) Not good enough to make it then you don't deserve to get lucky in the finals :o

How good has Jarrad Grant been? :D
Number 8 forward on average @ 128.
Yes only played 5 games but he's playing them at the right time of the season :D
Very helpful when players like Gia/Pav/Buddy can't be relied upon.
Not gonna lie he has looked pretty good.
I remember when I had Jarrad Grant in my DT as a rookie in 2010. He was great.
Inconsistent, but when he's on, he kills it. Got a bright future at the Doggies.

Robbo with a huge score (finally) after being disappointing all year. Dusty with his worst game in his career and Heppell subbed off at QT. :o Still obviously terrible trades lol, and their scores mean pretty much nothing considering we have the week off. :(
Anyone have a ruckmen that they're looking to trade? I want someone to replace Sandi and I have some forwards or defenders if you need them.
Why couldn't I be playing this week?!?
Guns like Hansen, Goldy, BOAK, tonight Scooterw, Harwood and others. Would be a big one for old Elephants.

a ruck or a fwd...
I would sell my first pick as well. Its one before Jroo I think.

Everyone wants to trade picks, no one wants to keep em :P
i would think the dongs and bears and dolphins in particular would be at least slightly interested in picks?
question is the price of the picks?
some teams have depth they can afford to give up semi premiums for picks and not weaken their teams by doing so, but do the pick traders want MORE than semi premiums....
Give us picks for free or flower off we're not interested.

Trading hasn't started in Worlds
and from what I know/can tell hasn't officially started in EXVs? (maybe it has IDK)
Trading can pretty much start when the 5 remaining coaches vote on all the rule changes i sent in the PM.
then i will announce results
then i will ask for further confirmation nothing in regards to trading at least needs looking at.
then i can open the window.
no real point in waiting, it can open pretty much any time after the grand final is decided and can run up until close to the start of the national draft.
Delisting can happen at any time during the FIRST and SECOND trade period.
final list lodgement will be required on completion of the SECOND trade period.
same numbers on both lists as you have now.
there are a couple of other things we need to vote on other than total number of list movements, like will it require you to use a national draft pick to promote a rookie as it does in the AFL.
and when we do our preseason rookie draft, i feel it is only right that left over players from this season (undrafted + delisted) go into the preseason draft pool and can either go onto your senior or rookie lists
where as rookies drafted in the afl rookie draft can ONLY go onto your rookie list.
so you see there are a couple of things we need to sort out before we get started trading as these rules will effect how you trade. or your trade strategy.
and some of you might come up with other things we may need to tweak , but if you are going to best get a wriggle on....

Yep if Dongs played (got unlucky in prelim) would've got 2,199 off the back of 506 from captain Monty.
My top end was pretty good as well... just a shame about the fringe boys
Libba 194
Pendles 166
Bennell 146
Conigs 137
A.Black 132
Parker 128
Gibbs 116
Would've had:
Montagna 253 (C)
Stanton 194 (VC)
K. Cornes 184
J. Bartel 177
Roughead 138
J. Schulz 135

You snooze you lose!
Oh and for the record, Mats and Wallis are only backup for us, Wallis will improve obviously but not a regular 15 as I see it with our talent!
I'm sorry tbag, but if you look at my starting XV it's actually very very good and young.
Hansen, Geary, B.Smith, Harwood (with some great depth)
Boak, Barlow, Selwood, Redden, Wines, Whitfield/Shiel
Goldstein
Tex, Watts, Crameri, then this is my position that is struggling... I got Jesse White and Fasolo.
Fwd line in tatters there Lez.
Watts a real chance to lose dpp and be back only, Tex starts slowly after 12 months out and Crammers struggles for form/fitness/gametime.

Dongs are looking a tad improved too. Bob Murphy a top 10 defender was a big addition to our weakest line.
D - J. Grimes, H. Scotland, B. Murphy, L. McPharlin - now 4x 100+ average defenders
M - B. Stanton, L. Montagna, K. Cornes, L. Hayes

Yes, the Dongs are looking for another forward.
Jason Johanissen is on the trade table despite us not wanting to give him up! He has had solid scores and if you take out his injury-effected games, has the capability to become a premium defender in a rising Bulldogs side.
He has huge potential and for a for a fair deal, we are willing to let him go.
Chuck Nails and myself a PM if you are interested. :)
I must say that the Folders are looking very strong heading into next season as well.
DEF: B.Goddard, B.Reilly, M.Johnson, S.Gilbert
MID: D.Swan, B.McLean, R.Bastinac, N.Dal Santo
RUC: W.Minson
FWD: T.Cloke, M.Clark, D.Zorko, C.Mayne
UTI: M.Lobbe, N.Foley
EMG: B.Vince, H.Ballantyne, D.Merrett
We are also on the lookout for another elite mdifielder. If anyone has one up for sale, let me know, we are willing to pay a bit for one.
Still chasing fwds fellas
Just to let everyone know, Manila will be holding their first annual awards night this Thursday, the 19th of September. We will have the best clubman award, best young player under 22, most consistent player and the B&F count. Head over to the Folders team thread, and have a prediction at the top 10, and who will win all the other awards!
Well Mongolia has some gun forwards on offer in Kurt Tippett, Drew Petrie & Charlie Dixon in exchange for a gun mid. PM me for negotiations. ;)
Anyone want defenders
Alex Rance, Brodie Smith, Daniel Nicholson, Sam Colquhoun, Tom McDonald, Jarryn Geary, Josh Bootsma, Ryan Harwood, Ben Stratton, Maverick Weller, Seb Tape, Rory Thompson
All players that would make teams starting side. All up for trade.

Mav is 100% chance to get picked up, but I prefer to keep him tbh.
Just a quick reminder to everyone, coaches and assistants alike, to go over to the Manila Folders thread and make sure you go and guess the top 10 of our B & F, as well as the other awards that will be given out. And make sure you come and visit the B&F as it happens tomorrow night, starting from 8pm! It should run for about half an hour and it would be great to see some people there!

That is where the whole debate is. Some say it should be top 4, those that make it to the prelims, or the top 4 scoring teams for the year.
Top four after finals silly poops!
Quote from: tbagrocks on September 18, 2013, 09:05:45 PM
Top four after finals silly poops!
So then we would miss out because Ablett flopped in the finals series and Kreuzer was awol (injured)? Produced 3 of his 4 worst performances in our last three games.
Despite being clearly in the best top four teams throughout the season. Seems a bit harsh.
this is hte debate, i have stayed out of it because it seems to be going nowhere, when it gets to a point of making decisions i will get involved.
i believe for a start the minor premier should be in and the premiers should be in.
as for the other two..... unsure.
Go based on ladder position unless the premiers come from outside the top 4 in which case they get the spot and 4th place misses out?
Or if the CL doesn't start from Round 1 next season an alternative could perhaps be to have play-off (or two) before it does.
should be based purely on previous seasons results, some are suggesting it should be decided some way into next season so we know hwo the best teams are next season, me i think that is ridiculous.
should be an honour earned from the previous seasons performance.
if you trade out old players and aren't as good next season, who cares you still deserve your spot.
i agree premiers get in and highest ladder positions OR final results positions.
I prefer ladder better representation of entire seasons performance than a couple of finals results - ESPECIALLY given the number of afl players rested during our finals.
I think it should be premiers and the next 3 highest placed teams on the ladder. There is no way you can please everyone, but this way seems the most fair to me.

Just on that point and, I forget if it has been mentioned already, what are people's thoughts on finishing our season in the second last week (Round 22) to avoid the scenario where a club rests a host of key players before the AFL finals?
For example what if one of the grand final teams this year had Fyfe, Mundy and Michael Johnson and then they lost?
the Dongs had made it and captained Joey against the weak Dockers lineup - they would most likely have won just due to that.

When there is 2 byes in the AFL next year, I don't think as many people will be rested at the end of the season. There will still be some, but I think it is just something to put up with. If you are the best team, you will have good depth.
Cl spots should goto the prelim finalists not ladder positions. You build your team to win premierships not minor premierships. If you nfinish top 4 and bow out in straight sets then you cant hack ot against the best teams so shouldn't be playing CL anyway.

or maybe you shouldnt have premiums in your teams from geelong of fremantle or other clubs that rest all their playes the rounds leading up to finals which is in the middle of those finals of ours which are apparantly the best test of how good your side is, even if half of it is being rested "for OUR final"
what you say is very true for the AFL, not so much for fantasy footy, still we play the finals we play and you win or lose with what you have available.
The top 4 usually end up in the 2nd last week of finals anyway so either way it is the top 4 that are most likely to play.
but some in worlds and euros dont want it to be about ladder of finals but the 4 teams that average the most points for all season.
which is even worse if you ask me. but then again from their point of view - even more accurate....

Even if we did it that way Colli - with teams which scored the most points during the season - it would still be the top 4 teams based on ladder positions. Yes we scored less than the other 3 teams in the top 4 but still more than anyone outside the top 4.
However, the 5th highest scoring team (UAE Tigers) didn't even make the 8. If they had been in the top 4 scoring teams and got to play CL I'm sure whoever missed out would be quite aggrieved.
should take this discussion to the champions league thread, maybe it will prompt the otehr admins to pull their finger out and make a decision.
i support JB's idea, but i am a little against a team finishing 2nd or even first having a rotten run of luck in finals and not making champions league.
at the end of the day we have 3 realistic options and i think we should make a decision so holz can get on with the work of saying who is in and working out when and how the comp will run.
the good news - 4 AXVS teams will be in it....
if it comes to a vote of the admins i will run the vote by all axvs coaches to make my vote on behalf of our coaches.
it may be a vote by every coach of all XVS - i do not know yet - holz does not know yet....
i will pm the other admins now and see if we can get started on working it out.

Oh I just assumed that because Mitch used to be captain before Hodge, he'd go to VC.
Adcock is Co-Captain, so that makes it 5 Captains and 1 VC.

Mt account on FF was hacked last might and posts of mine were modified. I have a fair idea who it was, but need Monty to access the IP of the person who had to have logged onto my account.
The only alternative was it was one of our moderators who did it which i find unlikely given who they are.
Suffice to say, given it would have been a XVS member or ex member most likely AXVS I am fairly disgusted.
Which brings me to the point - we have 3 applicants for the position of assistant moderator, you three know who you are.
If one of you thinks you can handle the job of being the moderator pm me and we can have a vote with all coaches and you can take over from me.
Never experienced anything like this on FF although I know it has happened in the past, but it has really turned me off to be honest.
If we cannot find a replacement moderator at this time i will continue to do the job, but I will also actively seek a replacement as we move forward.
Anyone else who wants to apply PM me direct, and do not apply or take this on if you are not prepared to dedicate huge amounts of time and effort to the competition because if you do not you will fail and let everyone down and that just won't do after all the work done so far to create and run the comp to this point.
You will require the ability to keep databases and spreadsheets and update scores and keep records and report weekly on matches as well as maintain accurate player lists through trades and drafts and well pretty much do everything that you can see has been done on the AXVS thread to date. So again don't apply if you haven't got the commitment or ability to do this.
There is no glory in it I assure you, just work.
Admin work is a lot harder than it seems, I don't know who the three people are, but I sincerely hope they know what they're getting themselves in to if they do take over. Good luck to those who have put their hand up. :)
Hope you can re-consider Collie, you do a great job and we all love ya for it! One person acting low like that shouldnt ruin it for the rest of the community. We're all behind ya!

Nothing will change if one of the guys who put their hands up takes over they are all quality people i rate highly, no one will suffer for it.
But they may not want the full role that's not what they asked for, but as I said I will do it as long as is required but something like this seriously just gets to me.
No longer can I trust this site it's my name and reputation that just got compromised and I'm not keen on having that happen again, and I am not even confident any of our data is safe from further episodes such as these I am going to have to back everything on this thread we need up off site.
as if it wasn't enough work already this just stinks.
Yeah Monty does a horrible job these days
Don't think we can afford to lose ya Colli. You do a brilliant job of admin and no offense to the other guys, but I can't see anyone producing at the level you do. Thats not saying they couldnt do a very good job :)
Yeah CW you're a champ, hope you can reconsider!
the new mod will be 100% aware of the standard and duties required, and i would be here to help but in the end one mod is the only way to go someone has to run things.
besides if someone else we all respect amongst wants a go at it why not, i don't own AXVS we all do. I just run it. anyone committed enough and with time enough can do it.
depending on my applicants and what Os thinks i can always be an assistant and the new person can be in charge and run things but i can still moderate and be an assistant just to help out with getting things done on the forum.
my concern is that if my account can be hacked into and someone wants to do that to me, then as a moderator they can pretty much do anything in this thread, change and remove anything and everything.
that's what has bothered me so much.
no difference a new mod same thing can happen to them, but this was obviously personal, whoever did it did it to me and just modified my posts to make me look like a fool/rude with what i was posting.
It'd be good if we could find out who the hacker is, ban them, and go on as normal :-\

this, Id consider quitting if Colli wasnt in charge.
wtf is going on???
just read the latest. What a prick whomever it was
I'd hate to see you to go Colli, I couldn't imagine AXVs without you, you've done a great job :(
I agree with all the sentiment here - you've been a great admin/mod for the Asians.
Easily the best XV's comp.
I definitely don't have time to be the mod but I am online almost every day and don't mind giving you or a new mod a hand if they need it.
we are almost there, news to come soon, new admin may want an assistant, has to get voted in first and i need to clear it with os before even the AXVS coaches can vote on it.
I would plan to stay involved in the running of it underneath him until the start of the 2014 season then step down completely.
I will keep my team and involved, and if it ever got too much for him i would take over again, if suitable other applicants did not apply at that time.
we have to be VERY particular of who runs this comp or it could all go to shower.
i have no concerns of that happening with who i am proposing putting forward.
but the last thing i will be doing as admin will be making a rule that at any time if the majority of coached vote to remove the mod due to incompetence abuse or anything else serious this can be done and a new mod can be elected.
kind of goes without saying, but needs to be a safeguard to maintain the quality of the comp and as i always say the comp belongs to the coaches not the admin.
i think i have done a decent job, surely room for improvement tho and a new set of hands on the reigns may bring subtle improvements and make our comp even better.

Thats why we put you in charge CW. I dont think I could cope with any other Moderator tbh. None of us wouldve joined this comp in the first place if we didnt trust you or like what you were doing. :/
your very sweet Koop but all will be well :)
Haven't really kept up with a lot of what's going on over te last month but this seems like a real shame and whoever is responsible for making Colli feel this way I hope they're proud of themselves. Way to ruin a good thing.
Colli, you do a fantastic job running this comp, and it'll be a real shame to see you leave your admin position, but I understand why you're a bit dissatisfied with what's happened and do not blame you at all. Really hope the competition will be able to continue as normal without your hard work.
How do I get Jesse White off the rookie list ?

How do I get Jesse White off the rookie list ?
promote him , delist him, or trade him :)
you can use a late nat draft pick you have to promote him but you have to have a spot on your senior list for him, including enough spots for the nat draft picks you want to use to pick players.
So if I have a spud on my senior list I delist, White can get promoted without using a Nat pick? Same applies with Matt White

no you have to use a nat pick to promote your rookies to vacant spots on your senior list.
so say you had 8 spots on your snr list and the below picks you might do this
nat picks
5 - player
21 - player
28 - player
39 - player
42 - player
52 - player
73 - promote rookie
91 - promote rookie
Hmm what if I have no spots left on main list? Lol. Can input Nat picks on the rookie list?
Quote from: whatlez on October 20, 2013, 12:43:43 PM

no nat picks go on your senior list
preseason / rookie draft picks goes like this:
afl rookie draft players - ONLY on your rookie list
afl preseason draft players, undrafted and delisted AXVS players can go on EITHER of your lists.
if you cant find enough players to delist to take the nat picks you want to and to promote rookies you could consider.
1. trading your players out generously for a star to decrease list numbers. ( example 3 players for cotchin :) )
2. trading picks away for higher picks ( example pick 20 + 30 for just pick 14 )
That's my plan (Y) lol
I'm looking into more when I get back tomorrow and all by myself..
Hi Colli, just wanted to clarify something re: the Rookie/PSD Draft...
I've got pick two, and with a bunch of the players that will be available here being pretty decent, the guy I select with this pick... Will he be put on my rookie list? If so, how do I go about elevating him later on?
Cheers!

If you leave a spot open on your senior list after the ND the first picked Rookie will go into that senior spot if I remember correctly. :)
Ah, sweet! Cheers Koopy :)
I am pretty sure it works like this.
In the Rookie/PSD, you can do the following
-Left over players from previous seasons or the NAT draft can go onto your senior or rookie list
-AFL rookie drafted players can only go onto your rookie list
Pretty sure that is how it works.

pretty much what BB said, to be precise:
AXVS Nat draft - only players available are the players drafted in the AFL nat draft - all go on our SENIOR LIST ONLY.
AXVS Rook/PreSeason Draft - players left over from last season undrafted, non picked nat draft players, AXVS delisted players, AFL preseason drafted players and AFL rookie drafted players are available to pick.
OF THOSE:
AFL rookie drafted players can ONLY go on our ROOKIE LISTS.
players left over from last season undrafted, non picked nat draft players, AXVS delisted players, AFL preseason drafted players - CAN GO ON OUR SENIOR LIST OR OUR ROOKIE LIST.
anyone want to play a game of pick 6 ?
help out the lowly vipers?
with 4 high nat draft picks and 2 rook picks i need to find 4 seniors and 2 rooks to delist , sounds easy... not so much.
Pick 4 Seniors:
Rhys Palmer
Taylor Garner
Mark Whiley
Majak Daw
Tony Armstrong
Tim Mohr
Cale Morton
Adam Kennedy
Robin Nahas (del)
Anthony Miles
Christian Howard
Patrick Karnezis
Pick 2 Rooks
Martin Gleeson
Thomas Jonas
Tim McGenesis
Lewis Pierce
Josh Bruce
Andrew Mcinnes
Not finding it easy to cut 4 seniors Nahas and a couple of defenders there head my list, the rooks are harder all looked very good at the lower level this season especially bruce i think has a future and Pierce could develop into a ruckman yet...
I think you should delist Beams ;)
I'll take Majak and then I'll give you no one then it will it easier haha
Quote from: whatlez on October 21, 2013, 06:07:52 PM
I'll take Majak and then I'll give you no one then it will it easier haha
at least with all the friendly honest help i expect to receive i will at the end know who NOT to delist :)
looks easy but most of those guys are hard to just throw away but 4 picks in top 22 i feel i will get better from the draft, so i need to cut 4. and 2, because i draft pretty high in the rook draft also and can get quality there also.
nahas i think is gone that makes one , i'm stumped on the rest.
Tony Armstrong
Tim Mohr
Cale Morton
Mark Whiley
^^Never gonna be any kind of premium so will never be a best 15 player.
McGenesis and Gleeson - Never heard of them so delist them :P
Keep Gleeson, plays for the dons so we should be looking to make the most of our rookies, had a shoulder reconstruction I believe but is rated at the dons. And he's a cutie, let's be honest, ;)

For me:
Whiley - tagger, not going to be a high scorer.
Kennedy - lockdown defender not going to be a high scorer
Nahas - Spud
Morton - I want to pick him up in the rookie draft :P
Tim McGenesis - He's not a real player. Must have spelled his name wrong and I can't find the right spelling even with some searching = crap
Lewis Pierce - Same reason as Morton :P
Ok so yeah tough choices.
Keep Mohr, tend to agree with Memph here
Nice trolling you spuds :P
thanks guys :)
Senior:
Niall McKeever
Ayden Kennedy
Maverick Weller
Tanner Smith
Sam Frost
Jamie Bennell
Rookie:
Ben Speight
Ben Mabon
Joel wilkinson
Peter Yagmoor
I'm not sure who to get rid of. So many spuds haha
you have to get rid of most of them don't you? how many picks you got to take?
Quote from: Colliwobblers on October 21, 2013, 08:16:22 PM

Depends. I need to promote Matty and Jesse White.
Haven't thought about delistings yet!
Senior:
Nathan Lovett Murray
Clay Cameron
Trent West
Daniel Pearce
Taylor Hine
Rookie:
Patrick Veszpremi
Danny Butcher
Murray Newman
Given retirements and delistings that have already occurred, we have two vacant positions on our senior list (Nathan Lovett-Murray, open spot as a result of a trade), and two vacant spots on our rookie list.
It's likely we will be using our first two rookie draft picks (with the first one likely to land a player we'll want on our senior list), meaning we'll have to delist another two or three players from our senior list, with West, Pearce & Hine in the box seats to be saying good bye.
Would be a bit harsh to delist Clay after just 1 season
Yep, it would be - but someone has to go, and our list don't have too many list-cloggers! :P
The other blokes are probably ahead of him in probability of being delisted tbh.
tricky bit is looking at the nat picks you have and working out where the potential value of the player you get with each pick compares to the players you already have, who are further along....
Ok seeing as everyone's posting the list of players who could be delisted let's take a look at my list.
But this time the game is... "Who do I keep?"
Retirements:
Jared Brennan
Jason Blake
Brett Ebert
Joel Corey
Impending delistment:
Cameron Richardson
Nick Lower
Kyal Horsley
Corey Dell'Olio
Alex Howson
Jordon Bourke
Jack Osborn
Orren Stephensen
Uncertain future:
Josh Hunt
Darren Jolly
Leigh Osbourne
Kyle Hardingham
Sam Wright
Alwyn Davey
I'm seriously tempted to dump the whole lot and start afresh which is 18 players/picks coming in.
Josh Hunt and Darren Jolly will probably be saved if they get to a new club. Any others people would keep?
Wow Memph, gonna be a big turnover for you guys! :o
hmmm delolio and jolly and hardingham maybe wright nad hunt id look at keeping.
howson has been delisted which surprised me.
If you need to delist a lot of players, rather than taking the picks you have then having to top up your list with compo picks at the end of the preseason/rookie draft, maybe look to trade picks with a club like whatlez who has very few players to delist.
and trade draft picks.
like a couple of your higher ones for 4 or 5 of his middle ones. bit of pain giving up high picks but if you draft well getting twice as many nat draft picks in the middle of the draft may be better for you overall.
list management best part of this comp :)
I'm a bit the same, I'd be open to trading one of my picks for a a higher one and a couple of lower ones or something. ;)
I need to clean my list so I will do 2 for 1 deals if the player is good enough

Would keep Josh Hunt and Darren Jolly purely because they'll be at new clubs in 2014. Sam Wright's not that bad and is worth keeping around, same with Cory Dell'Olio. Could probably turf the rest.

Would be cruel to delist Jordon Bourke after just one season. He's come through the Lions Academy, so he'll be a good playe!
Well even if I keep Hunt, Jolly, Bourke, Wright, Hardingham and Dell'Olio I still need to pick up 13 players in the draft.
However, I already have 16 picks so that shouldn't really be an issue. Pick 92 NAT and rookie and Pick 76 in NAT or rookie won't be used.
Are there any other teams who will be picking this late into the draft?
I don't think anyone should have to use the compo picks to get players because they didn't have enough picks.
remembering the 6th round of nat picks and rook picks may not exist. as per pick order post on front page of this thread.
but the end of rook draft compo picks for those needing them are unlimited.
And Josh Hunt signs with the Giants which means he keeps his spot at the Dolphins next season, though probably just as a depth player.
ANNOUNCEMENT
This announcement has been coming for a week now, it has been planned for a couple of months, it is neither my original plan to take on an assistant administrator, nor my most recent plan to hand over to a new administrator.
I have decided to stay on as the AXVS Administrator, done too much work and enjoy it too much to just walk away. That said I need a partner, the workload is at times overwhelming and as it is there is much improvement we can make to improve this competition for all involved.
I cannot achieve that alone.
So, I have decided to make an executive decision, normally these things would be voted on by all AXVS coaches, however in this case I feel it is an appointment better made by the administrator than by a community vote, and feel confident making it knowing the character of the person involved and the general consensus on him within our community.
That said if anyone has serious reservations or wishes to NOT accept this decision please feel free to PM me to discuss your concerns which will be completely confidential. If there are enough concerned coaches or coaches against this I will have to go to a vote. I do not expect that to be the case.
I had a couple of applicants for the assistant administrator position when I announced some time ago I wanted one, they were all quality people i highly respect, however what I require from the person in the role I am about to announce is significant time consuming commitment to the competition and a lot of work, which is why I have decided to go with the person I have.
I will remain if you like in ultimate control of the AXVS competition, even though that is a pretty empty title given any major decisions or changes always go through a coach vote anyway (except this one).
However I have decided to take on a CO - ADMINISTRATOR, a joint administrator that in all ways will be the administrator as I have been along with me now.
So there will be two of us running things both as full administrators.
I have requested moderator permissions for the new co-administrator from m0nty and now just have to wait for him to receive my msg and arrange it for me.
The person I have appointed is BB67th.Please show your support for him in his new role, it is a big task he has taken on and a big responsibility and a LOT of work.
And as I said if there is anyone with any concerns or otherwise please PM me ASAP to discuss this is a competition which I have always valued and gone to the coaches for their opinions and votes, however there are times executive and decisive decisions are required and i felt this was one of those times, this role was not to be awarded based on a popularity contest, and to have multiple candidates go to a peer vote, to me where there would have been winners and losers would have been poor form and not have sat well with me.
Still I am open to feedback on the appointment it is an important one, but I feel it is a wise one and one that will greatly benefit AXVS going forward.
Congrats BB, I'm sure you will do a great job and good to see Colli sticking around.
No complaints here, Welcome BB! I look forward to the duo of Colli67th running this competition!

I thought it was the BBwobblers? ;)
But seriously, good on you for sticking around Colli and I'm sure BB will do a great job in helping you out. Here's to an even better AXV comp!
Thanks JROO.
I'd like to thank Colli for allowing me to join him as co-admin. I was upset as anyone when he decided to step down earlier, but I am really pleased now that he has decided to stay on and I look forward to working with him.
I realise that this role will require a lot of time and effort from me, and I am prepared to do that as I think we run the best XV competition over here in Asia, and we can only make it better.
I hope everyone is happy with my appointment, and if there are any questions about it, just ask me or Colli.
I'm looking forward to getting more involved with the competition, and I can't wait to get stuck into it all!
Congrats BB, good luck with it mate. 8)
No complaints here - congrats to BB67th, good to hear you're staying on Collie and let's keep making this comp the best XV's one around!
PS - Bonus list movements for all given the news :D?
JJ.
Stoked that you've decided to stay Colli, and I think you've made a great choice in appointing BB - I'm sure the comp will be better than ever now!
P.S. I like BBwobblers ;)
Thanks for the warm welcome guys.
And I do like the sound of BBwobblers, has a nice ring to it :P

No way I was letting Mr CW step down! Now a new chapter in Asia! BBwabblers :P
So, does this mean the two of you discuss trades proposed?
IM with the admin in BXV and now AXV :o You want me at the club :P Congrats BB
the trade guidelines won't change mid trade period but yes BB will have to agree to everything trades, things to put to the coaches for votes new things removing existing things.
as i said it is not an assistants role BB will be running a lot of aspects of things day to day and throughout, whatever either of us does the other one will know about but a lot of things i foresee being done by one or the other of us.
there is much to be done, i can maintain what we have, but that does not seem enough, improvements and additions need to be made.
and thanks for your support tbag, i think an MVP award for next season may have to be introduced and a backdated award given out for the 2013 season.
MVP being most active involved and supportive member of the competition, and i have my own personal favourite for this season, tho BB will now have to agree :)
actually all coaches would have to agree i think it must be an award by vote this one ...
Nice work BB, I am sure you will do a great job! Good to see you sticking around CW. Wouldn't have it any other way :)

Would anyone be looking to trade 1 or 2 decent picks in the upcoming draft(s) for a package of my later ones?
NAT picks 57, 59, 73 and Rookie picks 40, 41, 57, 73 are available for a potential swap of a better pick :)

A lot of trades being done today, good that we are having such a productive off-season!
Unfortunately Monty has not been online for almost a week, so I cannot be made a mod of the board until he comes on.
Is anyone able to send him a message on Twitter to check the forum or contact him in another way?
Nah he sucks at being active. :(
I saw he was active on Twitter recently, so I found my old account and sent him a tweet. Hopefully he will be on soon.
Remember it took me like 5 extra weeks to get un ip banned haha.

After seeing Lez do his team though I might give the Crocs a crack. Using 2013's unsubbed/uninjured averages
Kuala Lumpur Crocs
DEF Bryce GibbsD/M(120), Corey Enright(115), Heath Shaw(108), Harry TaylorD/F(105)
MID Gary Ablett Jnr(151x2), Scott Pendlebury (146x1.5), Steele Sidebottom(129), Tom Liberatore(126)
UTIL Luke Parker(113), Sharrod WellinghamF/M(112)
RUCK Brodie Grundy(85)
FWD Shane SavageF/M(119), Aaron Black(99), Jack Darling(99), Luke Dahlhaus(96)
Expecting Enright to drop a little on that average but expecting improvement from most especially Gibbs, Sidey, Libba, Darling.
Total: 1947

Yeah, as JB told me, it's not SC where there's a rolling lockout so you can't really so anything about it.
Funny that Savage averages 119, but only 92 in the midfielders average thread hahaha
And somehow a forward too

It's not bound to happen if it's an injury. Ablett had a vest last year, none this year. Savage had something like 8 vests this year but moved to another club where he shouldn't get any unless he gets injured. Averages are a total score divided by total games... So if someone gets subbed off at quarter time and only play 19.25 games for the season you have to factor it in or it's an unfair comparison against someone that plays 20 full games.

Savage will be a fwd/mid in 2014
What do you do if a player hasn't played most of the season? As in Tex, HMac etc. :-[
UAE Tigers
B: Harbrow (106), C.Pearce (94), R.Henderson (105), P.Seedsman (104)

U: Armitage (116), Grigg (118)
Emg: Greene (97), Gray (96), Hurn (87)
TOTAL = 1, 911
I didn't take out sub affected games. Pearce, Hendo, Seedsman, Bellchambers, Christo, Robbo and Grigg all have sub affected games.
I dunno, maybe use 2012ave for this?
Tex had 2 sub games and 3 shower games where his scoring was bad. New average 128.
KL Crocs have a ridiculous amount of upside, just sayin!

Someone always has to get the vest, so it is bound to happen.
Let's see how my team looks right now with last year's averages.
Manila Folders
DEF: Brendon Goddard (VC) (209) / Michael Johnson (108) / Sam Gilbert (92) / Alex Rance (92)
MID: Dane Swan (C) (307) / Brock McLean (114) / Ryan Bastinac (114) / Nick Dal Santo (113)
RUC: Will Minson (110)
FWD: Travis Cloke (135) / Mitch Clark (71) / Chris Mayne (120) / Dayne Zorko (103)
UTI: Matthew Lobbe (99) / Nathan Foley (96)
Comes to a total of 1883.
That is with all sub and injury affected scores included, as well as Mitch Clark only playing the four games, who I expect to raise his average by about 50 points. I should get a bit of improvement from around the board, so looking forward to another exciting season!

Not to established players who will only get the vest if they get injured
Is it fair enough to take Tex's 2012 SC average of 100. Even that is under estimating him.
and HMac's 2011 SC average of 102?
I did this in my thread but will post it here as well I guess...

Taken out injury affected sub games.
Not great, but certainly a massive improvement. Our youth department consisting of Hombsch, Duryea, Tom Young, Dan Hannebery, Jared Polec, Rook 3, Andrew Boston, Sam Rowe, Pick 1, Picks 27, Tim Sumner and Andrew Gaff should all improve again next season. Plus the great Morabitos return, Ben Howlett and Lewis Jetta hopefully pulling their heads out their asses. The continued dominance of Sir Ebert. The next few years will be tough but rewarding :)

Suckling didn't play but iirc he was about 120ave last year. I didn't name Daisy because his 96ave lets the team down :P fair to say he'll be in their next season though #125ppg
Suckling was like a 105 average last year Jay. :P

Nah, he averaged 82 DT. Terlich averaged 80 DT this year which equated to a 105 SB average. So Suckling would have been around that mark.
Oh, it was the year before that he averaged 90... Well, he could potentially be 120 ;)
Ibbo averaged 92ish and got 120 ;)
So what's everyone's averages if they include what they actually scored? No bs.
Mines 1994. Didn't take out any sub affected/injury affected games.
Don't think anyone has beaten that so far.
1987. dammit :(
I think our average was higher last season at this time, but it makes sense that it has gone down with Clark coming in. Also the defence is admittedly a bit weaker than last year, so it will be interesting to see how that holds up with Mackie scoring the big points each week!
Ours was 1947 but its fair to say almost everyone on our list will improve their average in 2014.
#Contenders
BB will be sending everyone a PM to advise on the deadline and requirements for lodging your delistings prior to our nat draft.
this deadline has been extended to the day after the AFL final list lodgements due date of the 18th November so we will all have until midnight the 19th November to post our delistings in the thread.
key dates:
Thursday 14 November by 2pm - List Lodgement (2) and TPP Estimates.
Friday 15 November - Gillette AFL Delisted Player Free Agency Period (2) Commences.
Monday 18 November Delisted Primary List Draft Nomination Form Lodgement; Non retained rookie players draft nomination form lodgement, gillette AFL delisted free agency period (2) concludes
TUESDAY NOVEMBER 19TH MIDNIGHT - AXVS DELISTINGS DEADLINE
Thursday 21 November - NAB AFL Draft Selection Meeting (Gold Coast Convention Centre).
Yeah 1,981 was my team's actual average, I didn't take out scores at all... Dongs & Bears just ahead!
AXVS ANNOUNCEMENT
EXPLANATION OF DELISTINGS / DRAFTING / LIST MANAGEMENTDELISTINGS:You must lodge your delistings by the deadline of midnight November 19.
Your delistings must be for both you senior listed players and your rookie listed players.
You need to check your current lits here: http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,86823.msg1199346.html#msg1199346
This is the only accurate record of your list. If you feel there are any errors immediately PM BB and myself.
In order to take national draft picks and preseason/rookie draft picks you need to have the spaces on your list beneath the caps of 40 and 6 to fit the drafted players in.
DRAFTINGThe official draft order: http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,86823.msg1199347.html#msg1199347
You can take as many of the national draft picks and rookie/preseason draft picks that are available to your club as you have room on your list to take. Once you have filled your list back up to the caps of 40 and 6 you can no longer draft and will have to pass on any further picks, you cannot draft players to take your list past the caps of 40 and 6.
You can use national draft picks to promote players on your rookie list to your senior list.
Every player you draft in the national draft
MUST ONLY go onto your senior list.
Players you draft in the preseason/rookie draft which are ( afl 2013 preseason drafted, left over players from the 2013 axvs national draft, axvs 2013 delisted players still on afl lists, axvs players in the pool from 2012 drafts) can go on
EITHER your senior list or your rookie list.
Players you draft in the preseason/rookie draft which are afl 2013 rookie drafted players
MUST ONLY go on your rookie list.
* With this in mind when you are delisting consider not only the spots you need on your senior list for national draft picks you want to take, but also, rookie promotions you wish to make, AND preseason/rookie picks you intend to take where you will want the player you pick to go onto your senior list.
for example if you have rookie pick #1 you are going to want a spot on your senior list for that player or he will be stuck on your rookie list for the entire 2014 season unable to play unless you have a long term injury and upgrade him mid season.
THERE WILL BE 5 COMPLETE ROUNDS IN EACH OF THE DRAFTS. NO 6TH ROUND.LIST MANAGEMENT POST TRADE PERIOD #2Due to this seasons change of being able to trade uneven numbers of players, in trade period 2 some teams will end up trading out more players than they trade in, and likewise some teams will end up trading more players in than they trade out.
At the completion of trade period 2 lists will be brought back to the cap limits of 40 and 6 in two simple steps.
STEP 1. The teams with more than the cap of 40 and 6 players on their lists willhave to delist players to take their lists back to the cap of 40 and 6.
NOTE: These teams cannot delist players they have drafted in either draft in 2013. They must be other players.
STEP 2. The teams with less than the cap of 40 and 6 players on their lists will have to take picks from the remaining pool of players to bring their lists back up to the cap of 40 and 6.
NOTE: These picks will happen in the original pre trade draft order until all lists are full.
If you have any questions or do not understand any of the above please PM BB or myself asap.
The player lists for every team will be posted in the official DRAFT thread as soon as the delisting deadline is reached and everyone will be able to see their list after delistings and see exactly how many spots they have for drafting.
Due to this being the first season of having to delist unless BB disagrees strongly I will allow in the time between the delisting deadline and commencement of our national draft teams to delist further players if once they see their final list they feel they made a mistake and need more room on their lists for draft picks.
THIS DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT YOU MUST POST YOUR DELISTINGS BY THE DEADLINE.
KEEP IN MIND THIS OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE THINGS WILL BE VERY VERY SHORT SO BETTER YOU THINK ABOUT IT NOW AND GET IT RIGHT BEFORE THE DEADLINE.
Colli in the drafts thread a lot of the rookie and nat orders haven't been updated?? But some have...
every pick should be up to date after every trade. if they are not pm BB and he can go over every trade he has processed and update them, or give me a list of the trades not updated on the pick list and i will do it.

Which ones haven't been updated Whatlez? To the best of my knowledge everything is now correct on the opening page.
To start I don't have Nat pick 6 or Nat 22. Also don't have rook 6.
http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,86920.0.html
Yeah I have heaps of picks there, but I've traded them all :P
You guys just haven't updated it as yet, I think?

Ah ok, I see the confusion here.
The official draft thread has not yet had its draft order updated. Note that that post was posted back in mid September and has not been edited since.
Currently, the only updated draft order is on the opening page of the official trade thread, and the draft order in the official draft thread will be updated sometime soon.
Ohhh I thought it got bumped up
pick order now updated in draft thread, however subject to change if any further trades occur between now and tomorrow afternoon close of trade period #1.
Funny how we don't even know who or how many are on our list? ??? Well it amuses me :P
Also, as with the official trade thread, try to post here or the specified threads as not to clog up the official threads designed for trades, delistings, drafts ect? Make it a little easier for our Administrators to sifer through the crap?
Anyone want to trade? :P
I have next nothing in picks so my list is about complete :P

Yeah defence is a tad week which is one of the main reasons i have drafted McStay and upgrading Clisby and Rampe. Still looking to add another 2 defenders to that lineup in the drafts.
Hopefully he does!
If Luke Hodge gains dpp he is for sale next trade period
If Baugley starts for you, youre going to have a bad time.
Yeah im in need of a premium defender.
I'm just "in need" if several players don't break out this season will be another tough one for the Vipers.
still i might make some moves to bring in super premiums in trade period #2, have the movements and the youth to offer to get it if I am willing to pay :)
Vipers Youth Stars ?
Joshua Kelly - pick 2
Jon O'Rourke - pick 2
Dom Tyson - pick 3
Nick Heynes - pick 7
Troy Menzel - pick 11
Cameron McCarthy - pick 14
Zak Jones - pick 15
Billie Smedts - pick 15
Taylor Garner - pick 15
Michael Apeness - pick 17
Nicholas Robertson - pick 34
Jack Newnes - pick 37
Matt Mcdonough - pick 42
Matt Jones - pick 52
Mark Hutchings - pick 60
Matk Whiley - gws zone
Jack Watts - Lachie Whitfield - Johnathon Patton - (had David Swallow)
#1
(Did I hashtag or write number 1? :o )
yeah thats a good trifecta, but i am more excited by the guys that were later picks on that list than the early ones.
except tyson, i can't wait to see him next season if he has a solid full preseason i think he could be super next season.
probably wont be a starting 15 player until 2015 maybe 2016.
they break out and are almost worht starting.
then they get tagged and have a stinker.
then they are either gun players - or not.....
as i said it could be awhile before the vipers feature in finals footy, but i do like the foundations
Gotta say our team in 3-4 years time looks incredibly sexy.
Hibberd - Hombsch - Duryea - Young
Ebert - Hannebery - Rook 3 - Gaff
Ryder
Breust - Hendersen - T.Sumner - Lennon
Honeychurch - Polec
Jetta, Knight, Merrett, Morabito, Redden, Rowe etc etc all still there also.

Is it a coincidence they reached our board just after tbag posted how popular it was. I don't think so.
But, seriously if you're going to spam at least make sense. I'd rather see some entertaining spam suggesting the person before them needs some pills to help them improve their sexual prowess than absolute nonsense.

They started their own thread and also posted on one of the team list threads, so make sure you keep an eye out for it.
So then we start right after this I believe yes?
Wednesday 27 November - NAB AFL Pre-Season Draft selection meeting (11am, Telstra Webex); NAB AFL Rookie Draft selection meeting (11.10am, Telstra Webex)
So tomorrow arvo should be back and drafting :D
Well I'm not too sure on Colli, but I won't be able to come online until around 4, so drafting won't be able to start after one of us has a chance to update all the lists.
I will post the lists when i get home from work tomorrow night and open the draft. I have JROO8 pick so can get us started.
should be around 6-7 pm tomorrow night at the latest.
might be a fair bit earlier depending how my day goes.

Seen Broadwalk Empire? Thats one of my favourites as well as Walking Dead.
never seen it but heard good things. maybe i'll check it out if you recommend it
yeah Boardwalk Empire is very good
I like Boardwalk but I get confused with who's who and whatnot
Too many gangsters with too many names and it confuses me :(
I forget who's in disagreement with who etc.
I do know who nucky is at least lol
Yeah its one of those shows where you really have to pay attention and hundreds of new characters are introduced each episode ::)
But its pretty sick.
sold i be checking it out
Took me a while to get into boardwalk tbh Colli. I gave up after 1 and a bit seasons, but continued it because I got bored, was worth it.
Arnold Rostheen (sp) is pretty dope.
watch Suits fellas, good show.
Good to see the AXV Discussion Thread magically turned into the TV Series thread from the Front Bar :P

I will post the lists when i get home from work tomorrow night and open the draft. I have JROO8 pick so can get us started.
should be around 6-7 pm tomorrow night at the latest.
might be a fair bit earlier depending how my day goes.
Is there a reason we are starting so early? I thought we would wait til December for when positional changes are announced. Like EXV. Like I have quite a few borderline position changes that could have a big impact on who I pick in the Rookie Draft

Trading for a guy to fix a possie is a lot harder and more expensive than taking a guy with a pick. Like what's another couple of weeks wait, we don't have anything over this period anyway. Just seems more logical to me
Just checked and last year they started releasing positional changes on the 28th-29th of November so it'll be awesome if we could wait a day or two

Highly doubt that will happen this year with the new time of the Rookie Draft, thats what the second trade period is for. If youve all 10 movements, while you will only be able to cater for the positional changes in a limited aspect, you did get to balance all trades, including period 2 ones, with picks. ;) Gotta give a little to take a little. (Or something like that)
Just a quick heads up. Expect a few twitter leaks in a couple of days time. Positions have been finalised by VS. All that needs to happen now is rookies to be added and positions set.
If I find out a little more definite info I will share.
Mav Weler got rookie listed!!!
So Josh Mellington decided to withdraw his nomination for the rookie draft moments before the draft so he now has to stay on my list for the entire year?

There is no official date, they are just going off last year, which wont be the same because the ROokie draft has been brought forward. Theres a trade period to fix all that up. :/ Plus you should have a relative idea of what they are anyway.

Did they announce the full dpp changes or just leak some then though? I would have though you wouldn't be able to see all the changes until the game actually opened.

All changes will be available with the release of DT.
Guys like Luffy and PeteJank will do some twitter leaks. Last year Luffy had people tweeting him for a period of an hour or so at selected times and he supplied the leaks. Freako will also be doing leaks this year.

There's a trade period after this draft though to fix things up. Although a lot of clubs have used all their list movements already. I knew it wouldn't bother me so I did all my trades already. Clubs in contention though should have thought about this though.
Wellingham should def get forward status not sure on the others there Ric.
Yeh but its so much more harder and more expensive to trade to fix dpp problems.
Just checked and they released 37ish major positional changes on the 29th-30th of November last year as DT Leaks. And then heaps more than that the next week. Surely we can wait a few more days for just the major changes, whats the rush? Other comps haven't even finished their national drafts yet
Thing is though if not all player positions are released is it worth waiting for? Idk I guess it doesn't really bother me either way I'm just not sure it's worth waiting if it's not the official release date.

No its not, there is also the question that what if the guys dont leak the player we want? Will we then protest to wait till the next leaks? No, do it now, fix it later, shouldve thought about this guys.
Yeah that's what I mean Koop. I'm sweating it as to whether McVeigh will get DPP - what if Gibbs' position is leaked but McVeigh's isn't?
Not that positional changes will have much of an effect on my drafting though tbh, as JB said you'd want your team pretty sorted before the rookie draft comes into play as it's more a list filler than anything in most cases.

In theory then you and other coaches could each take the whole 24 hours to take your pick and then we should be at those dates anyway.

You can tweet and ask like last year. But honestly what is the rush? Why can't we wait a couple of days
McVeigh is a major change, it will get asked for/leaked
Yeah like Dr DT answered two of my questions last year :D

Hey what is the deal with the compo picks?
Jolly didn't get picked up which means I should get one.
However, I have extra picks in the rookie draft. (9 picks and six spots on my list to fill - seven if you count Jolly).
Can I just take an extra pick in the rookie draft and then dump Jolly? Or dump Jolly now as he won't be playing next season.

Any compensation picks you require for players that you kept that were not picked up will be given at the end of the rookie draft. Seeing as you already have more picks than spots to fill, it looks like you won't be needing it. I'm not exactly sure when he needs to go off your list though, you will have to ask Colli about that.

::) Why do people complain AFTER an event takes place? It was well known this would be happening,
A) What happens if a leak occurs and its not the one you want? are people going to complain and delay the draft again?
B) If Rookie picks seriously alter your team structure outside of maybe the top 2-3 then its a major problem.
C) Theres a little thing called a TRADE PERIOD for a reason, if you used all 10 movements without taking changes or drafting into account then its not anyone elses fault but your own. Stop impeding others experience.
D) I have Pick 3 and I want to bloody use it. :P
I will be incredibly disappointed if the draft is delayed due to peoples in-awareness again, Im fine with it being protested and voted on before the actual thing takes place, but not after it. :o
I think that if you didn't get to use all your list movements in trade period 1 then they should get added onto your movements for the 2nd trade period.

I'm not sure on others but these are my thoughts man...
A) What happens if a leak occurs and its not the one you want? are people going to complain and delay the draft again?You tweet and ask. Last year they gave out 152ish positions in their "#DTLeaks" (Yes i counted them today). Guys like JR008 took requests and asked for you if you didn't have twitter.
B) If Rookie picks seriously alter your team structure outside of maybe the top 2-3 then its a major problem.Rook 6 will most likely be a starter for me. My issue is I have 2 guys within my fwd line that I think should get fwd status and one major one in my backline that should keep def status. If some of these don't happen I will have to use R6 differently.
C) Theres a little thing called a TRADE PERIOD for a reason, if you used all 10 movements without taking changes or drafting into account then its not anyone elses fault but your own. Stop impeding others experience.We have limited list movements and as I've said before, trading is harder and more expensive when a rookie pick can fix it easily.
D) I have Pick 3 and I want to bloody use itI have R6 and I wanna use it too :P But properly
E) I will be incredibly disappointed if the draft is delayed due to peoples in-awareness again, Im fine with it being protested and voted on before the actual thing takes place, but not after it. :oThe issue was we flew through the national draft. Other drafts are still going, meaning the rookie draft would have started later anyway.
F) Whats another couple of days? Is it that much of a rush to get this over and done with.

Hey what is the deal with the compo picks?
Jolly didn't get picked up which means I should get one.
However, I have extra picks in the rookie draft. (9 picks and six spots on my list to fill - seven if you count Jolly).
Can I just take an extra pick in the rookie draft and then dump Jolly? Or dump Jolly now as he won't be playing next season.
Any compensation picks you require for players that you kept that were not picked up will be given at the end of the rookie draft. Seeing as you already have more picks than spots to fill, it looks like you won't be needing it. I'm not exactly sure when he needs to go off your list though, you will have to ask Colli about that.
Is the draft starting BB?
After seeing that some people want the draft to be delayed a bit, we will wait until Colli is around to make a decision.
::) Why do people complain AFTER an event takes place? It was well known this would be happening,
A) What happens if a leak occurs and its not the one you want? are people going to complain and delay the draft again?
B) If Rookie picks seriously alter your team structure outside of maybe the top 2-3 then its a major problem.
C) Theres a little thing called a TRADE PERIOD for a reason, if you used all 10 movements without taking changes or drafting into account then its not anyone elses fault but your own. Stop impeding others experience.

+1
I'm with Ric here, but I'm happy either way as Ric is the deciding factor on who I'm taking at R7 :P :(
Eh, idc. I know who I'm picking so ready to go when everyone else is, I'm just not sure how long we'll be waiting for it to start if we wait for the leaks. I assume they won't all be at once?
Yes I know the draft went so quickly Rico, but we've had between Sunday Night and this morning to say something about it. In regards to the leaks, I am aware thre are a lot released, but so many people will want news, if someone isnt announced, reagrdless whether its for you, or another coach, will the draft need to be delayed again until that one particular player is leaked down the track, this keeps happening and happening, and before you know it, its Crhistmas and AC has opened. ::) Trading is not expensive when you dont do it with Jroo. I seem to have been the only one who has planned for the changes and outcomes and drafted accordingly. Meaning that if one player changes its not a massive deal and I can just trade away the surplus for a player in that position. Yes, you may have limited movements, but thats no-ones fault other than your own, we had the same problem last year.
Look, Im not attacking Rico at all, he's a mate. Im just voicing my frustration because Im ready, prepared and want to start, if the majority want it postponed Ill sit tight with a smile on my face to wait, but I feel if we postpone now its just going to keep on getting postponed until people have got DPP news for everybody that people want to get it for, and that could take a very long time, possibly delaying it by over a month when Colli said we would be starting it tonight. :-X
Koop.
the draft will start tonight and soon.
a couple of rules to work out given the complete lack of a preseason draft this season by the AFL.
positional changes happen every season and a wise coach can work out what they will be, wont get them all right, but we are all in the same boat so no disadvantage to anyone by starting before them
on that theory we should also delay trading and the nat draft until after the positional changes are released.
maybe we can vote for next season if everyone would rather wait until mid December (when people go on holidays to start trading and drafting).
Yeah, leaving it until some DPP changes are announced puts others at an unfair advantage. Waiting until after means it could be a long wait... maybe into the new year.
Start it now.
Yeah let's start NOW lol.
OK fair enough. Didn't think it would be a major issue to not rush into it but all good.
its not a major issue, it is just not going to work to have drafts and trade periods running after mid December player position announcements.
i don't want a trade period running when half our teams are away or eating roast turkey.....

I think that if you didn't get to use all your list movements in trade period 1 then they should get added onto your movements for the 2nd trade period.

I like the sound of this.
not sure we can change it now ?
i am not against this, i am only against been able to use more than half your total movements in trade period 1.
we did vote on this however we did increase the total list movements and we did vote to keep the two periods split as far as allowed movements is concerned.
Change it for next season, keep it the same this year
lots of votes for next season.....
yes to be fair to coaches who used their list movements i cant change it now.
I don't get how this effects anyone else? If we have left over movements then we should still be able to use them
Quote from: Noz on November 28, 2013, 03:50:01 PM

Because then you get more movements in the 2nd period than other coaches who used them in the first. It's definitely unfair.
What about coaches that traded hard for draft picks? They could've just saved their first period trades and then tried to use players to trade for the players that were drafted instead of risking on trading for a pick where their player could've already been taken anyway
It disadvantages coaches who used all 1st period trades with the expectation of only being able to get so many trades in 2nd period.
Some coaches might have rushed trades with the thought they had to use them in that period so they still had enough trades in the 2nd period for what they wanted to do.
If you have left over movements that's by your own doing and to think it's possible to just change the rules on a whim is stupid Noz.

Bad fuvking luck.
Too much trading anyway, the more trades the more some will try manipulate others!
I'm all for fairness and the least trading the better ;) But we are suppost to be the comp that resembles the AFL right? ???
I can see the point of others though, not everyone is a drafting Guru like the Tibetan Llamas 8)
we voted on this and we extended to 4 in each period but we kept the periods and the limit we extended to of 5 seperate.
i woill be happy to vote on it again next season.
if it was going to be the way i would want it i think it would be 4 per trade period, 4 maximum in period 1, but unsused period 1 movements carry over to period 2.
too many trades is unrealistic.
and trading players you just drafted is even more unrealistic as the afl just dont ever do it.
but we only try to be afl like we cant be exactly the same.
still whatever is most popular we will do.
but in saying that and saying we will vote on things , we cannot keep chopping and changing indefinitely.
sooner rather than later we are going to have to lock away the rules and then only change things that are glaringly wrong or that could clearly be better.
still with bb coming on and a few new coaches we will evaluate most things after the 2014 season.
The AFL doesn't have DPP. That's why they don't have to worry about trading
Hahaha imagine the AFL had fixed positions and you couldn't leave your zone unless you received DPP before the start of th season. :o
The AFL also doesn't have more than 1 trading period.
The AFL also doesn't have to wait on champion data to let them know where to play their players.
one trading period suits me fine, and we can do it all drafts and trade period after mid December when the prospectus is released.
sounds fine to me.

I reckon for next season we either have 1 trade period with 8 list movements starting in November up until a week after the prospectus is released.

So maybe draft/trade players you know will mostly be in similar positions most their careers?
Goddard, Birtchell, Enright for example, Pavlich, Lacca, Betts
Sheesh, it's not that hard :P
with 40 senior players to make a squad of 15 each week, who really needs to know the SB player positions? :o sheesh :P
no one will have any list movements left when the prospectus is released, and those that do will have no one to trade with ...
that would change not much except one period instead of two. and delaying the drafts.

I Can't post in the other thread... So I'm not sure what I do, until further notice.
the other thread is open but read the last post, we commence once noz has posted what he needs to.
If you have a ruck man or a starting forward you want to trade and you want a young midfielder in return come talk to me.
Could trade Jonny Giles ;)
Jack Hombsch will be shipped off to the highest bidder this period for a team looking for a 96 avg starter/depth. Looking for forwards, happy to include other players if needed but not Ebert or Michael Hibberd.
Cheers. :)

After i win the next 3 premierships everyone will come to Turkey
Our intentions in the upcoming trade period are pretty clear.
We have used up all our list movements and won't be actively interested in making any trades.
Having said that though I won't ignore any offers for our players.
However, if you're coming to enquire about one of the newly acquired guns (*cough Rioli) then you better have a really good offer otherwise don't bother.

I am in for the long haul Nails. I base my coaching longevity on Afl coaches including...Watters, Neeld, Primus, Ratten, Voss, Lyon, Harvey, Eade, Bailey, Craig, Knights, Laidley, Wallace, Connolly, Thomas, Frawley, Geishen.......I am in great company so watch out.... 8)
Hmmm
Is it possible to organise Dongs just forfeiting against the Gazelles now?
Now that Gayzelles have T Dog we'll probably get slaughtered so might as well just save face and forfeit.

prob a good idea he has a good track record against you as he is an Assistant for Tokyo also (if he remembers lol) and we had a shock win over Buenos Aires
Meh forfeit or not i don't really care because the Dongs are a bunch of spuds anyways.
#1 #Dongs
Is that a record?
Campbell Brown latest only a few days on an Asian team list :P
Fluffy Gazelles won't even beat Tibet, hold your Dongs!
you knew it was coming. i trust you would have been having to delist him anyway?
i am going to work on processing all the trade window #2 trades and once they are all processed and lists all updated after those trades I will open the trade window for period #2.
should be good to go Friday afternoon/night.

Hodge is for sale ;)

when i get it i will put up the player ratings and then team ratings for 2014.
i will also advise all positional changes if they are not already known by the time the postman brings it to me....
Sammy Mitchell DPP, nice. 8)
BB if you want a gun defender then talk to me, looks like I'll be having one of Duffield or Adcock on the bench at this stage.

The Llamas have like 6 ruckmen and wouldn't mind a mid.
Spud Palmer gains DPP!
now he can be a spud in two positions, but yeah worth picking up in case he ever reaches his lofty potential. The fact I cut him almost guarantees he will break out this season :)
He broke out in his first season lol
Apparently Parker and Caddy are fwd/mid ;D
Apparently Titch is getting DPP :D
Now my midfield depth looks quite poor with only Josh Thomas, Brad Sewell, Luke Ball, Brandon Ellis, Jed Anderson, Jack Viney, Jonathan Simpkin, Aiden Riley, Andrew Raines, Jarrad Jansen not in my starting XV
#InNeedOfMidDepth ;)
Jordan Lewis is mid only. Fuvk off, played more forward than most. Hopefully he goes back for 2015 when I'm a challenger

Watch out for whatlez
Wow some of these DPP changes are crazy. The Crocs are looking deadly if Parker and Caddy indeed get DPP.
Although according to the same site, Wellingham and Gibbs are Mid only, so that evens it out I guess.
Stanley Mid only apparently too which would be good since we traded him to the Vipers.
Not sure how accurate these are though...
Midfield of Ablett, Pendles, Gibbs, Sidebottom, Liberatore, Wellingham ;D
Ah nuts Dean Cox is no longer a Forward this sucks.
trade period #2 is now officially open.
Daisy Thomas and Josh Jenkins are on the table :)
Andrew Walker & Mark LeCras are on the table for a gun mid.
Zac Smith and Daniel Gorringe are up for trade. Preferably a midfielder and/or defender in return.

Wow, what a team. Forwards and rucks a little weak I feel, but you're going to be a real contender next year!
at least no one i gave him is in his best XV ::)
I gave him Wellingham and Shaw. Your welcome.
his team was not rated badly last season, will be interesting to see the rating for this season...
I would like to see my rating. Should be more than 148
Any premium defenders up for grabs?
they said when i ordered it i would have it mid december (prospectus) thats where i get the ratings from. think it is a rip off i pay $50 and they leak all the prices and positional changes for free before i even see it >:(
yes i agree whatlez your team without any trading was one that would rise naturally due to the players you have that should be rated a level higher this season by champion data.
crabs probably be the biggest increase tho crocs and even tigers could go up a lot, llamas too coming off such a low base.
dolphins the obvious team to take a big drop - but that had to happen based on that list. think they have made the right moves in culling premiums getting old to rebuild the team.

Fair to say the midfield is not great, the forwards will make up for it!
Very happy with the defence and Ruck lines, they will be as good as any imo
I don't care if the midfield isn't as strong as other, am not a trading nazi and rather dislike trading anyway as it seems the only way to get anywhere is to manipulate others which is not in my vocabulary. However, if anyone would like to nab a good young back/ruck/forward and offer a good young mid, by all means let me or Nige know :)
Basically I mean, a young mid you may not need, for a player I may not be needing as have abundance of other positions, help each other ;) yikes, there's an odd phrase for an XV comp :o

I was pointing out that Raines is neither a proven premium a young premium or a future premium he is a spud.
For every Jobe Watson and Jack Viney you have on your list you need someone like Andrew Raines to balance it out.
Every successful club has a spud on their list its for marketing purposes.
How deep are we going in this best mids argument
Ablett, Pendles, Sidebottom, Gibbs, Liberatore, Wellingham, Savage, CBeams, KStevens then it drops off a bit
8)
no i did not say i had the best midfield, i said i had the deepest pool of talented youth (undeveloped) , then went on to say - or "one of the best"
watson kennedy mundy duncan stokes sewell ball raines do not even count in what i was saying i had.
the rest do and are pretty good but i think i top that with
Jake Melksham - still breaking out and young
Mitch Wallis - still breaking out and young
David Myers - still breaking out and young
Mark Hutchings - averaged 120+
Dom Tyson - pick #3
Jack Newnes - kid now a lock in the saints midfield
Kane Lucas - still breaking out and young
Nick Suban - still breaking out and young
Matt Jones - averaged 91 in his first season in 2013
Johnathon O'Rourke - pick #2
Mark Whiley - highly rated midfielder, little known but a zone selection by the giants he has a spot in the middle in time.
Nicholas Robertson - pick #34 would of could have gone higher but missed the champs with injury
Joshua Kelly - pick #2
Lloyd Perris* - who knows
Isaac Conway* - who knows
J O'Rourke - pick #2
D Tyson - pick #3
@ rico - same for you, we were / I was not talking about "best mids"..... but that is a good midfield by any measure if your talking best midfields not deep pools of youth talent ;)

You had Ellis named twice initially, must of edited it
If you think Mitch Duncan is no longer young at the bright age of 22 colli then take out Melksham (22), Myers (24), Hutchins (22), Suban (23), Jones (26), Lucas (22)
yeah good point noz, didnt realize duncan was so young, put him in, take matt jones out :)
although duncan probably counts as having made it to premium or close enough ;)
you have built a strong midfield to be sure to be sure

Finaly got my prospectus, full team ratings for 2014 will be up tonight. (late)
First Team Ratings are complete.
Note these ratings will change as teams trade players and take required compensation picks / delist extra players traded in over trade period #2.
The Manila Folders was 2013 highest rated team at 199. The current list is one man short however even considering that the current rating for the Manila Folders is ....
167 Down 32 on season 2013.
Will work through hall teams tonight and if not finished tomorrow night.
The up to date accurate team lists are in the trade thread and that is where I am recording the player ratings/ team ratings:
Here: http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,86823.msg1199346.html#msg1199346
That's a bit drop. I reckon I could top that :o
there has been a slight change in what champion data have done in ranking players. All teams will be affected in the same way so while all team ranking may drop a bit it is the exact same system used in every year since champion data started out.
The subtle change and how it effects us is that a player who eitehr did not play enough games / played poorly then changed clubs has dropped in champion data ranking categories from what they were the season before to unknown ( which for our purposes gets them 1 point) where in the previous year they could have been poor (2) or below average (4) or even higher.
this is not the case for all players clarke from Melbourne for example maintains his ranking of average this season after playing very little (4) points.
Yes some of the middle / bttom teams will no doubt have large increases, while given the ratings by champion data are done by where players are ranked by % example elite is the top 10% of all players in THAT position.... there will be a lot of changes as there were a lot of premiums that stepped up this season and quite a lot that went backwards or were still good but may have dropped out of the top 10% which then has them in the above average bracket.
difference to us is 6 points instead of 9 or visa versa
Wow that is quite a drop for us. We did lose a bit of top end talent and replace it with a bit of depth, but I don't know how we have lost 30 points!
Surely Goddard and Cloke must be in the elite category as they ranked 6th and 3rd in their respective positions? It does run off Sportsbet scoring, yes?

No in ranks of CD rating points, Goddard averages 105 so is just outside the top 10% of mids. Reckon he must of been just outside cos Barlow averages 105.8 and he got elite status

Ah right, that makes sense then, the CD points will be a bit different.
Looks like I have lost a lot of points in my depth. Players like McGrath, Merrett, Vince, Schneider, Lynch, Laidler. So I'm still pretty confident about my chances this year, we still have the talent at the top end.
Llamas are done I will do one from the top then one from the bottom and so on.
another point to think on - you get 3 points for a top 5 draft pick player, 2 fr a first round draft pick player (before they play the cut off amount of games required for champion data to rank them as in avg/poor/elite etc.
if that player goes and plays however many games he needs to such as toumpas who was worth 3 last season, he gets a rating which in his case is poor (1) therefore although we all know toumpas is worth more this season than last, he earns the Llamas 2 less ranking points.
this is a slight skew in accurate ratings but when you look at o'meara and wingard who both are now worth 4 points, you can see giving the top 5 draft pick players an itial rating of 3 makes some sense as martin and hogan and the top 5 will get this season.
back to the Llamas......
Current Team Value (106) 2013 Team Value (108) Down 2 :o

Yes but he is in the top 35% of key defenders.
Its sorted into Gen Def/Key Def/Mids/Rucks/Gen Fwds/Key Forwards.
Hence cloke at an average of 90 is only an Above Average Key Forward, whereas Gunston at an average of 84 is an elite Gen Forward.
What JB said.
and yes the system I am using for our player/team ratings is far from perfect especially given the best key defenders are rated 9 same as ablett or franklin (in a good year) but they score a ton less....
HOWEVER
the ratings last season were very very close to how competitive all our teams were so while imperfect this rating system proved to be very accurate.
The Bears: move to first for now....

we will see what the new year/season brings....
there was a player missed on the Llamas list - he was worth (1) so Llamas are down 1 not 2.

the ratings look to be lower this season slightly so improvement may become clearer when you compare the gap "between" our teams from last season to this season.
Also with a player missing ( cornelius was still on your list nails) you will get a compo pick after trade period 2 for him unless you have made a trade which tops up your list during trade period #2.

the number used this season is last seasons numbers, what happens this season defines next seasons number.
I expect a different season for a lot of teams this season - regardless of the numbers, that said they were pretty spot on last season but as I said the break out player filled teams can't really be rated that accurately.
had to jump the queue and do the vipers, also missing a player.

The only list of teams players and ratings that will be kept up to date will be in the trade thread
Here: http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,86823.msg1199346.html#msg1199346
If anyone notices any errors they need to let BB or I know.
THe lists and therefore ratings will change as people trade and go through the compo pick/delisting phase after trade period #2, but the ratings now give a fair indication of where the teams will be...
Dolphins for example are missing 2 players so they will gain points from the two players they need to either trade in or take compo picks for after trade period #2.
Any questions let me know.
The team lists once trade period #2 is finished will be copied into the official team list thread of course.
The Dolphins had to rebuild and that is reflected in the rating with the largest drop so far (still with 2 players to be added to the list)
DOLPHINS Current Team Value (121) 2013 Team Value (193) Down 72
Small drop for the Lambs skips them ahead of the Dolphins and the Folders to slot into 3rd behind the Bears and the Dongs.
3 points off the Dongs, both teams have to add one more player to their lists.
LAMBS Current Team Value (170) 2013 Team Value (186) Down 16
Elephants go up 8 when most teams around them are going down will have to wait and see where that puts them in the pecking order...
ELEPHANTS Current Team Value (156) 2013 Team Value (148) Up 8

Looks good, thanks CW! Think a few of my boys can push up into the elite category next year but good to see we're still ranked among the top few after trading!
Hard to say but with luck i think yu can expect to have a shot at the flag with 150+ not to say you can't flop with a higher rating or have a shot with a lower rating.
generally you need to have 15 starters at 6 or 9 you would think to get it done and that alone is 90 - 135 just for those 15....
but in saying that plenty of players rated 4 (average) are going to break out and actually be 6 (above average) or maybe 9 (elite) this season....
getting into that elite bracket is not easy however as it is only the top 10% of players for that position in the entire comp...
Scott Selwood - 6 points

maybe he would have made the top 10% for mids, if they didn't make almost every player in the game a mid only...
johnson, rockliff, take a spot in the elite bracket as mids now, think there might be a couple of others who were ranked by fwd or def last season who now go into the mid position for the sake of rankings...

I was expecting this. Only one 9 player now in Rioli.
Though I think I should only be one player short Colli not 2.
We can only have 40 players on our senior list not 41 as it says in that thread right?
Elephants having a nice improve :o

yes that's correct my mistake you must have had 41 at some stage during trade period #1 i will fix that.
time consuming this ranking caper.
crocodiles missing one player so will go UP
CROCODILES Current Team Value (142) 2013 Team Value (142) Up 0
Eskimos
ESKIMOS Current Team Value (125) 2013 Team Value (146) Down 21
HEAD HUNTERS Current Team Value (131) 2013 Team Value (148) Down 17
TIGERS Current Team Value (172) 2013 Team Value (172) Up 0
Tigers no change at all, but given most teams have had a drop you would expect to see them move up the rankings.
I will post a full list of 2013 rankings and 2014 rankings once i have done all teams to show the moves....
Great work Colli! Eager to see how my team fits in compared to all the others.

Ok so all ratings are in and team values are updated for 2014, these are subject to change as we have trading still to do and some teams have a player still to bring in. I have updated the ratings on the trade thread team lists
Here: http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,86823.msg1199346.html#msg1199346
In summary:
1st: Bears: 184 - down 14 points from 198 - up one place.
2nd: Strikers: 173 - up 13 points from 160 - up 7 places.
3rd: Dongs: 173 - down 21 points from 194 - no change in place.
4th: Tigers: 172 - up 0 points from 172 - up 2 places.
5th: Lambs: 170 - down 16 points from 186 - no change in place.
6th: Folders: 167 - down 32 points from 199 - down 5 places.
7th: Elephants: 156 - up 8 points from 148 - up 5 places.
8th: Ales: 152 - down 20 points from 172 - down 1 place.
9th: Gazelles: 146 - down 18 points from 164 - down 1 place.
10th: Crocodiles: 142 - up 0 points from 142 - up 4 places.
11th: Vipers: 132 - down 24 points from 156 - down 1 place.
12th: Crabs: 132 - up 6 points from 126 - up 3 places.
13th: Head Hunters: 131 - down 17 points from 148 - down 2 places.
14th: Eskimos: 125 - down 21 points from 146 - down 1 place.
15th: Dolphins: 121 - down 72 points from 193 - down 11 places.
16th: Llamas: 107 - down 1 point from 108 - no change in place.
All subject to change as stated above. I ranked the Vipers above the crabs for now simply as the vipers have one less player on their list so if neither team trades the Vipers will move ahead with the extra players points.
Strikers and Dongs also on equal points but both have full lists, s except for trading these teams will stay levelon points, so i put the strikers above the dongs due to the strikers going up points and the dongs going down, but that makes no difference obviously both lists are equally rated.
As you can see from the top 6 (not including the Bears) it is very very close, so if trading happens the list of ratings here could change a lot.
Looks to be a tighter comp this season, with a bit of luck and breaking out the middle and lower teams are much better situated to compete and cause upsets to the favoured teams above.
Great work Colli. 2nd to 6th is really close, happy with out 4th rating :D
7th :o

click the link you can see your list and the points next to each player total at top, the lists are complete as far as BB and I are aware with every trade period 2 trade processed.
If you think there are any errors please let us know ASAP so we can fix. Some lists are not complete as to the ability to do uneven trades in trade period #2 and the trade period is still open.
Wow Ellis, Mitchell and Duncan only rated a 4? :o :o
Mundy and Stokes only rated a 6 :o
Quote from: Noz on January 05, 2014, 03:19:34 PM

yes it is only 10% of players by position that make elite bracket (9), so not many in that bracket at all.
Above average (6) is only from the top 11% to top 35%
Average (4) is top 36% to top 65%
so very few elite, twice as many above average then 3 times as many average.
below average (2) and poor (1) are the same as above average and elite in reverse (obviously being at the bottom of the scale)

Yes they both got ratings of poor :)
if patton played a couple less games you would have got 3 for him as a top 5 draft pick who hadn't played enough games.
the system is floored, but again it was pretty accurate last season regardless....
I reckon Hickey deserves a 2 and Patton a 3 or 4. So up 11 :P

I'll trade them in off you for some spuds i have rated 4 :)
Very interesting - we were always going to be the biggest sliders.
I thought we'd be bottom of the list but thank god for the Llamas.
I can't see the premiership ladder turning out like this though. As you said it's only a guide but I think the Crocodiles starting team should push them up to a Top 4 spot for example and def not outside the 8 and also I can't see the Strikers finishing second.
I'm looking forward to watching the top teams battle it out and hopefully causing a few upsets and damaging better teams' chances of making the finals/top 4 :P

Still on the lookout for a premium midfielder (125+ average).
Can offer up defenders such as Walker, Adcock, Duffield and forward Mark LeCras.
Walker and LeCras the big two on offer. Both are top 8 averaging in their respective positions.

It was at the start of elxam. Didn't want my opponents to know my team. Silly I know haha
Hahaha nice one. :P
People over in worlds changing their names left right and centre. People in Britian changing their club names left right and centre.
Welcome to Asia where everything stays the same
Yep, just like before Terlich is still available.
Haven't received an offer that I like enough to accept yet. If I don't then I'll be happy to keep him on the books.
I had a dream melbourne faced hawthorn in the first round and at half time melbourne were winning by 60 points and to make it even more stranger Matthew Stokes was playing for melbourne and he kicked 6 goals i was angry because i left him out of my round 1 xv team.
With NVB going down for 6+ months with a ruptured achilles it looks like Cam O'Shea might be jumping off of our rookie list sooner than we expected - bad news for van Berlo but O'Shea will look pretty on the senior list :)

bump
After some discussion with a mate who is a Melbourne fan and not being completely happy with the offers on the table for Terlich we've decided that we are going to keep him even though we really do need another midfielder.
This means our trade period involvement is over (we just have one player to pick up in the compo draft) so here's how the Dolphins 2014 season would go in an ideal world (by position). Tried to make them realistic goals - so not everyone fires, becomes a gun and we win the flag.
Defence: Terlich and Vlastuin keep up, or slightly improves on, their 2013 form. Guthrie and Tuohy breakout and become premium, or on the cusp of premuim, defenders. Sutcliffe, Colquhoun, Hutchins and the Wright brothers (not really :P) establish themselves as best 22 players in their respective teams. Cutler, J Kolo and Langford get a taste of AFL football.
Midfield: Bennell and Coniglio break out and score at a premium level, Rosa gets back to his 2012 form and stays healthy, Williams, Lester and Stringer establish themselves in their teams and the rookies get a taste of AFL football (Garlett more than the others).
Ruck: Kreuzer plays every game, Derickx gets game time at Sydney and Wood doesn't ever have to come off the rookie list.
Forwards: Rioli, Winderlich and Gumbleton stay injury free, Betts returns to his 2010-2012 form at his new club, Dickson, Boyd, Campbell and Murdoch establish themselves as best 22 in their respective teams. The rookies getting game time would be good but barring injury we can afford to given them another season to develop.
In terms of ladder position anything other than the wooden spoon we will count as a success. Absolute realistic best case scenario I think this season is us not finishing in the bottom four.
Interested to hear from other coaches on what they would like to see from their teams this year in a best case scenario. Some coaches would obviously want to win it all, others are like me and just want to see development (or injury free) years from their players.
I know its well over due... but the KL Crocs F&B wrap is up :)

To do something different we should have 2 groups/divisions/conferences whatever you want to call them and the 2 winners of their group face each other for the cap.
Yeah I'd be keen to have a preseason comp again Noz :)
Btw the Lambs are on the look out for a forward at the moment - let me know if you have one available for trade via PM!
We're still taking offers for Brett Goodes...

Any assistants wanting a team?

Bellchambers and now Seedsman will both miss round one :'( >:(
Looks like Majak or Nicholls will have to step up.
(http://resources3.news.com.au/images/2014/01/27/1226811/518463-5eeddfd6-870e-11e3-92e1-07d47f226b83.jpg)
Majak is flowering huge :o
majak is huge :) could be a great player, could be worthless, who knows, he can train and pump iron all he likes, he needs to get some footy smarts! hopefully the penny drops for him this season?
Ronnie Coleman is huge doesnt mean he can play footy.

Yeah I know, but as Colli said, he just needs some footy smarts.
Can i put Aiden Riley on my LTI?
I have been OS the past 8 days will have to try catch up on everything over the next few days. If anyone has any issues or anything needs doing urgently send me a PM if BB hasn't already taken care of it, forgot to let even him know i was going away oops :-[
The CW Cap will be back, still need to decide how it runs, only two games I believe so
Possibly the AXV table from last year, 1 plays 18, 9 plays 10 in week one ect
Week one would be random, winner comes from the highest average score? From for an against
Or from last years CW Cap Placings

Hi all,
With my new job I no longer have enough time and effort to be the head coach of the following teams:
BXV - Staines Steins
AXV - PNG HeadHunters
TX - Bangkok Paddles
So I hereby announce my resignation for the above 3 teams and can stay on as an assitant if required. As most of you are aware, i havent been on FF or FFChat for a while now due to work commitments and renovations. It is best that i pass these teams on so that people who want to have a go at being head coach, get their turn.
I had no idea Colli wasn't around, good thing that not much is happening over here at the moment though. All good. In future it is best to send all pms to both me and Colli, so if one of us is not available, the other can sort it out.
Thanks for that tabs, we will advertise the HeadHunters position once one of the other vacant coaching roles has been taken.
As for Aiden Riley going to a LTI, I can't seem to find any info at the moment about his progress for returning from injury. Do you know if he is currently on Melbourne's LTI or if there is an ETA on his comeback?
I would like to put my hand up for the head hunters.

Our rule is that when a player is placed on their club's LTI, they can be place on an AXV club's LTI.
I will update with those LTI's now. Advise me of who you would like to be promoted to take their places.
Also we have a thread up for the vacant Head Hunters coaching role. If you are an assistant and would like to apply or know of someone who would, you can find the thread here.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR AXV COACHES
With the start of the NAB Challenge coming this week, I believe that this is the time that Colli and myself originally planned for the second trade period to close.
Colli has been away on a bit of a holiday so he hasn't been online much recently, so I have decided that the trade period will close this Friday night at 11:59PM.
There hasn't been any trading going on for a couple of months, so I imagine there isn't too much that people still want to do with their teams. I know that there is always a few last minute trades though, so this is a warning that the period will close at the end of the week.
Many of you will have seen that tabs has relinquished his role as head of the PNG Head Hunters due to commitments keeping him from having the time to run his own team. The role has been advertised and voting will be going out on Saturday for who will be the new coach. I encourage all of you to reply quickly when that comes around so we can get the new coach all set for season 2014.
At this stage I plan to give the new coach a couple of list movements to use to trade if they would like to. I'm not sure how many that will be yet, but they will be able to trade with any team.
There will be a few days for this trading to take place and after this is complete we will hold the final supplementary drafts needed for any team to get a full squad of players.
The LTI thread is up, so advise me of any LTIs you might have too so you can upgrade a rookie onto your senior list temporarily.
Any questions please ask me straight away. Hope everyone is doing well and ready for a great new season of AXV!
So does anyone want to trade since it closes on friday?
I have 1 Out and 2 Ins left to go so get a offering.
My offer of Dean Terlich for a midfielder is still on the table.
Haven't really warmed to anyone offered so far but I'm open to proposals again.
Still after an extra midfielder, can trade defenders.
AXVS ANNOUNCEMENT
Hi everyone, it is with some sadness that i make the following announcement but for the best interests of the AXVS competition.
I will officially stand down as Admin of AXVS effective immediately. BB67TH will be the sole Administrator from this point forward however I am certain he could use an assistant or even two.
I am also putting my team the Vipers up for a new coach to run it. Along with my BXVS team the Werewolves which I have advised Ringo off just now.
I plan to stay involved on the FF site and run a DT and SC team but with work as crazy as it is and a new love in my life i just do not have the time to commit to the responsibilities of running a XVS team let alone a XVS comp.
I think everyone would agree I am not abandoning the comp to disaster :) BB67TH has proven an excellent Administrator and I will still be around to help him out if need be as will Os and Ringo and H for that matter.
This is not goodbye, just a change of the guard in the comp and also I will be a spectator in the xvs comps not an active coach, as I said i will stay on FF due to not wanting to lose touch with all the great people I have met on here, particularly in this and the other XVS competitions.
Any questions or concerns PM me or BB67TH.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Colli :(
I think I speak on behalf of tbag when I say we at Tibet are deeply saddened by this news. :'(
:(
Sad to see this happen Coll but sounds like you're a busy man at the moment. Thanks for all the hard work!
:( you made AXVS what it is now, sad to see you go. Good luck in the future.
BB has been great so far, so we need him to keep it up.
Two new coaches will be interesting.
I think he should disband and give me all his players? :P
not my players you have enough kids :) I'll run the vipers into the start of the season if a new coach is not found same as the werewolves, but as everyone comes back for start of season and nab cup should be no problem filling the roles.
And I'll still be around, AXVS wasn't made by me, it was made by ALL OF US - every part of it every step of the way.
Instead of Rivalry Round, it should be called 'Colliwobblers Round'
Thanks for all your hard work, Colli. You've made this comp the best on the forum! Wont be the same without you around :(
Best of luck to BB :) am sure you'll do a fine job!
:(
:'(
In a way the Colli news is great but sad. Thanks for all your efforts mate with AXV. I know everyone really appreciates it. On the flipside it appears you are heading for a busy but exciting new phase of your life! All the best mate in all your future endeavours.
You will be missed here but BB is a very worthy replacement.
:( Colli.
Sad to see you go.
Its sad to see you go Coll. Thanks for everything
Thanks Colli for all that you have done in setting up this competition. You have made it what it is so far, and I am very happy to be able to take over from the foundations that you have laid. You have been great to work with over the past couple of months, and I hope that when things quieten down a bit for you, you will be able to join the competition again in some capacity. We all want to see you back mate.
I am also after someone who can be an assistant admin for me. This will involve helping to run the week-to-week of the competition. It's not going to be a huge role, but just helping me out with a few jobs. If you are interested, please shoot me a pm.
I am not sure if we will be having a pre-season comp this year. Sportsbet has not opened yet, so it is a little hard to do scores for NAB Challenge games and too much work for me to do to calculate all player's scores at the moment.
I know that tbag was planning some competition, but I haven't heard from him since about it.
I vote for no pre season comp.
Quote from: Noz on February 12, 2014, 06:13:24 PM

YES NAME AROUND AFTER COLLI!
This is a good point you raise. With no pre-season comp we will not be giving out the CW Cap, and I think it is fitting that we honour Colli in another way for all the great work he has done in setting up this comp.
Seeing as our league B&F is currently called the Great Kahli Medal (I don't even know what this refers to), why don't we rename it to the Colliwobblers Medal?
Yep definitely happy with that
It's only right that we do.
I think I might put my hand up to take over Colli's Vipers. :)
Might have to talk to tbag though. :P
I have decided to advertise the position for a Vipers head coach now, so we can get two new coaches in this weekend so final draftings and trades can be done ahead of list lodgements.
You can find the thread here:

Thanks for all your hard work Colli, you will be sorely missed.
Very sad to see you go as the Admin of what is clearly the best of all the XV comps. The thought, effort and impartiality in your decision making is a credit to you, and has been to the benefit of all who are lucky enough to be involved in this competition.
Thankyou for everything you've done mate.......kudos to you.
Whist being sad to see you go, l'm incredibly happy to hear of the new phase of life opening up for you and all the hapiness it willl bring.
you guys are all the best. great people here thats why axvs is the best, to be fair in general overall the ff community is great.
i will be around, just cannot commit to xvs or admin.

Same as worlds?
I haven't looked into the Worlds one but I will now
Here is the Worlds Comp
Quote from: ossie85 on February 11, 2014, 12:06:14 PM
Appreciate HB and others helping out with the concept.....
Well, the first two rounds you don't have to do anything!
Qualifying Round
The 18 teams split into 3 groups, based on premiership rankings from last year.
Group A: Sao Paulo, Cairo, Cape Town, Seoul, PNL, Wellington
Group B: Mexico City, Moscow, Toronto, New York, Tokyo, Beijing
Group C: Buenos Aires, Berlin, Dublin, London, New Delhi, Pacific
The total SC score of your ENTIRE squad counts from the first 9 matches of the NAB Challenge.
The highest scoring team from each group progresses to the final 4, plus the highest scoring team that didn't qualify.
Semi Final
The 4 teams that qualify from the first week are ranked from highest scoring to lowest scoring.
Highest scoring team v 4th highest scoring team
2nd highest scoring team v 3rd highest scoring team
The total SC score of your ENTIRE squad counts from the last 9 matches of the NAB Challenge.
Final
The winning teams from the Semi-Final face off against each other. Final round of practice matches of the NAB Challenge.
Each team selects a XV like a normal match. Scoring based on SC.
Happy to discuss though!

I'm really not fussed if we run this retrospectively for Round 1 as well.
I don't like the Worlds 'entire' squad method as some people will have a lot more players playing that others.
I think we should just pick a team as per usual asap and submit it (players who have already played are allowed to be chosen given the lateness of starting this). Or we could take everyone's best XV (rather than their squad) from week 1 and roll with that.

Only issue with naming 15 is that teams aren't released all at once which could get messy.
BXVs have one running, normal team conditions with 5 emerg. Still not 100% even with some teams favouring the NAB and others not risking players, but as close as you can get IMO
The bxv preseason cup will have 3 rounds, played over the nab challenge and friendlies. We will use DT scoring, unless Stadium sport or whatever site we use have preseason scores. In the last round, the to teams with the highest overall scores will play off in the Grand Final, while the other teams will play friendly matches.
Rules
- There will be rolling lockout
- The teams will be the same as during the normal season but you may name up to 5 emergencies
The Lockouts
Round 1: Wednesday Feb 12
Round 2: Friday Feb 21
Round 3: Sunday March 2 (Grand Final)
I think a pre-season comp would be great if Ric wants to run it.
I would probably be in favour of having all players in your team score because of the way that NAB Cup teams are picked. But I will leave all the rules and how it is run to Ric.
I actually think some of the "younger" teams could have more playing than the establish teams as kids will be given more of a go. Obviously its not perfect but I think full squads are the way to go
Ok lads, Preseason Comp is up an running

For both jobs? Impressive. Clearly a good bunch of applicants. :P
Voted, was out all yesterday.
Cheers Memph, no worries about that mate.
Voting was done amazingly quick, just over a day!!! Good work to all coaches, it's good that we have such an active community.
I will be announcing the new coaches once they have responded to the message I have just sent out to them with the results.
From now until Friday night there will be a small trade window for the new coaches to make a few trades.
They have each been given 3 list movements to use with any club that they choose. Their list movements will count no matter who they trade in and out, trading back in players they had previously will still count as a movement.
Movement limits will not apply to other teams. One other team could have 6 list movements in total with the two new coaches if they want.
After this is done, we will have the supplementary drafts and delistings to get the right number of players on lists.
Any questions, please ask.
Will trades have to be 1 for 1, 2 for 2, etc mate?

No, they can be any combination.

I would trade with the newbies if they're keen

There's still a bunch of teams (like mine) that have one less player than we are meant to have after the last trading periods so it shouldn't make much of a difference I wouldn't have thought, just means a few teams might need an extra pick in the supplementary draft.

This pretty much. There are already teams that don't have even lists, so a few more doesn't really hurt.
Does anyone recall who designed the banners for each team that are up on the Rulebook thread? They really could use some updating with a few coaching changes this pre-season.
I think it was Adamant iirc?
Hey guys quick question, (not to cause panic).
Does anyone know for sure if CB and SB will be running this year? Im sure they will, but wouldnt they be open by now? Or atleast mention on the sites when its opening?

Was no hostility until tbag and lez came in. Was just asking where he came from...
Seeing as it's odd for a bloke to be "senior assistant" within 2 weeks of joining FF when there's heaps on the outer who are keen.
You say Goldy = never again, however with HMAC gone = great for goldy. You also wrote off a 24yo ruck who is obviously still developing and not even near his prime. Putting a ruckman into a "never ever" list who is
A) Still Developing
B) Had a big opposition player for TOG traded away
C) Has proven premium scoring ability in seasons past
Reeks of anything but knowledge.
Firstly, you need to know that I am very well known outside of fanfooty and that this isnt the only forum for DT ;)
Now on to Goldy.
The Kangaroos have changed their game style. They now play a run and handball style out of the back line. This wasn't the case in 2011. HMac leaving does not mean a thing due to the fact they recruited Currie and elevated Daw off the rookie list. Plus the fact HMac was injured for the majority of 2012 anyways. Goldstein's top score was 140 against a Brisbane combo of Longer and Merrett. This inflates his average but it is true that you can only play the opposition every week. The new ruck rule is also a huge worry for Goldstein who scores 35% of his DT points by hit-outs. I can see wuite a few extra FA in 2013 for him with these new rules.
The articles I write are for entertainment. As I have always said, if people don't agree with them then fair enough.
RidleyU, you are a flowering spud.
Writing an article telling people to "never get this guy." Only for him to be one of the steals of the season.

Yeah I didn't like how he was bagging my boy Goldy. Proofed him wrong >:D
#RidsHasStreetCred
Not sure what this is all about but obviously trolls will be trolls.
Out of interest Nails, can you post an article you have ever written here so I can give a critique? Seems only fair considering I have never read one of yours but it appears you have read mine.
to be honest I wasn't hostile to you at all until the other spuds joined in, but that's another disagreement for another day.

@BB
I think the argument is already over to be honest. I just wanted to bring up how gun Goldy is and remind Ridley he missed the boat :(
It all started with me friendly questioning him then two girls jumped in made me angry rids got defensive and the world collapsed.
Regardless, I know I'm not a troll. Unless a troll is someone who disagrees with Rids... lol Anyway, the argument is over so you won't need to worry about any follow up posts.

Mate who cares? I bagged myself out? So? lol
mate the argument is over, feel free to stop writing your hatred about me haha. I only wanted to ask who you are/where you came from as it's unusual to see people spring up out of nowhere. I was interested in your footy roots etc.
Wasn't intended to make you angry 12 months ago
Anyway champ, it's over. I'm not legally allowed to share my articles on fanfooty.
I will gladly take my weekly prize last year from Centrebet ( no Goldy) and my number one league ranking in DT (no Goldy) and my 106th ranked finish.
Love how you became hostile with me and that the argument (if you would call it that) ends with me giving you an opportunity to write an article for a reputable.website haha.

Unlike Sportal these scores can be replicated by a custom UF scoring system so we can have our scores easily accessible either way.
I think we should stick with it.
Yeh we'll be fine. I like this scoring system
I can access my Sportsbet team now, though it is still last year's team up there.
That is an improvement on what it was last week, when clicking on the AFL link just re-directed you to the previous page. I will see if I can get in contact to find out if it is still running this year.

I suppose that as long as it is open for the start of the season, it will be fine.
Also, the trade period for the new coaches has no ended, so trading is all done. I will approve and process that trade that was made this afternoon.
Then we can move on to the supplementary drafting and delisting stage. I will be sending a message to all coaches later today in regards to that.
The most up to date team lists can now be found in the Supplementary Drafts and Delistings thread.
Once these final drafts have taken place, I will be asking teams to shuffle their lists into their desired order in case an extra player is needed outside of your XVIII on match day as an emergency fill in.
After this, I will set up a new team lists thread.

Worlds are giving it to the highest scoring Semi-Finalist
We could even use round 1 scores
Yeah just use round 1 stats.
Alright everyone, season starts this week and I've been thinking of how we can have the best comp possible. Here's what I have planned so far.
- Colliwobblers Medal - Brownlow Medal style voting based on AXV matches. I have a secret formula that I will be using to calculate votes. This will be announced on the awards night.
- Same awards as last year - This will include the Team of the Year (not sure if Toga wants to run this again), Rising Star (again if Toga would like to again run it), Asia Trophy (minor premiership winner), Wooden Chopstick (Spoon), Golden Dragon (highest team score for a single round), Golden Tater (lowest averaging player), Jade Ring (highest individual player score), Golden Buddha (highest team score for season) and Oriental Medal (highest player average over season)
- If anyone has any awards they would like added, please do not hesitate to ask, the more the merrier
- With the way I plan to set things up, I should be able to run a reserves competition alongside the main game. The easiest way to run it would be that your reserves play the reserves of your regular opponent for the round. Every player not in your named XVIII that plays will score for you. HGA applies. There will be no posting of individual scores for this too much work, only totals.
- I can see the reserves comp running side by side nicely with the main competition. Please let me know what you think about this idea so we can see how it can work in the season proper.
Hope everyone is ready for a big season of AXV!!!
I feel there is a distinct lack of banter with tbag being banned at the moment. In his absence I shall carry on.
Looking forward to an easy first round win over the Eskimos. We'll just treat the game as another pre-season run before the main competition begins. ;)

The round one team submission thread is up!
Make sure you check it out so you are sure on details for lockouts and also read over the rules so you are sure how the utilities and emergencies work.
I believe the coaches that have bans currently return on Thursday, so everything is set for the new season!
With the reserves comp starting up, everyone gets to name their own reserves side. For now, it will just be referred to as 'Your Side Reserves" but I will change that once you come up with a name for your side.
Be creative, but make sure that it relates to the location of your team in some way.

No need to submit a reserves side. The way I plan to run it is all players who score that are not named in your game day 18 will score for you. I can source this scores easily. Quite open to other suggestions of running it though.

No loopholes at all mate.
We decided on this last year. I've just amended the rule book to add this.
Cool, just double checking.
Yep same, cheers BB.
Reserves results are posted in the match day thread, and here is the ladder after round one.

The reserves ladder can also be found in the ladder and draw thread.
Thanks to a silly split round we missed out on a fourth backman playing, but we still came close to winning against a top side
No doubt we will win soon, good luck if you play the Llamas anytime soon ;)
This may be the first time KL have ever been in the 8

sad state of affairs really
I would have thought it would be like an older player retiring and we didn't get compo picks for them last year.
Maybe if it happened before the season started, but it wouldn't be fair now.

Yep, this is how it will work. Garlett will have to stay on your list until the end of your year when you can delist him Memph. Sorry about that.

Yeah it sucks having a strong midfield, For example last week i had both Duncan and Ball as emergencies and together they pulled out 280
It's awesome.
Won us Euros premiership probs
Come finals time due to other teams having lacklustre midfield depth they're stuck playing 80 average (AXVs score) depth midfielders while you're playing your depth mid who averages 110

Our rule is that a player can go on your LTI if he goes on a club's LTI.
Seeing has he has not been placed on the LTI I would say no.

Thanks for bringing this up, didn't notice it before as Hogan was named on the Ales' interchange.
It is definitely not allowed, but unfortunately the original team sheet, before Hogan was added, is no longer around.
I'll get back to everyone with what will happen here.

I have talked to KB about this and he was not aware of the loopholing rule. I hope that everyone is after this, and if it happens again there will be harsher penalties for it.
In this case I propose that KB gets the emergency to take Hogan's place, but he only gets half of its score, similar to if it was OOP.
Nah Jb should submit his own team. If Jb knew about the rule then kb should know. I wasn't allowed to loophole last week. This is unacceptable
JB asked me to because he was busy on Friday why should I know the rules if JB does? I'm only his assistant and have 3 of my own teams to worry about
You didn't know the rules last week either by the sounds of it
Have a sook Lez
I did. I wanted Patton's score, but Green ended up scoring more. But the OOP is good and might cost Jb a win hahaha
Lez does have a point actually. His team was edited after lockout as he named a player that wasn't playing. In that case though, he only had one player able to fill the position, when he thought he had none.
In this case, there are many players that could fill the position for the Ales as it is a utility that needs replacing. Now it is only early in the season so I appreciate that not everyone knows all the rules yet. Also, remember Lez that you did end up getting a player last week in the end.
I see there are 2 possible courses of action. Take half an emergencies score as I said above, or similar to what happened with the elephants last week, we wait until all Ales players have played and then the lowest scoring player will be taken. This, in essence, will be replacing Hogan with another player on the utilities that could have been named in his stead, but it would have to be the lowest scoring player for that position. I would lean towards the former as I suggested above.
What? I only got my lowest scoring Emg last week? I thought we agreed Green was my F4
No excuses everyone should know the rules. Give him a 0.
Yeah an outsider trying to cheat. Surely you would check the rules before attempting. I know I would look it up or post or ask someone if I was told to post a Worlds team for someone.

I'll ask you this... If you didn't know the rules, why did you try to break them?
Quote from: whatlez on March 30, 2014, 04:35:15 PM

That makes no sense
I didn't try to break them I didn't know loopholing was not allowed
C'mon guys dont let this get ugly and become personal.
Rules were broken...........no, l dont think it was intentional..........but lets just all cool down and let BB make his ruling, then accept it whatever it may be and move on
So if you didn't know, then wouldn't you play it safe and play a full side. The fact that Hogan who is injured was selected is silly when you could pick someone who got dropped or injured and didn't look obvious.
So I have gone over this issue again, and changed my mind as to the outcome of this.
In short, the Ales will receive a 0 for where Hogan is named.
Loopholing not being allowed is stating in the rules, and if someone chooses to post a team, they have the responsibility to know the league rules. Ignorance is no excuse.
Further to this I did not want to create a precedence where coaches can loophole and still get players scoring from it. So let this be a lesson to everyone. Loopholing will get you a 0 from now on.
It is unfortunate that this happened, and I hope it doesn't affect the result this week, but we have made a decision that loopholing is not to be a part of our game, so the rule must be enforced properly.
Horrible news with Mitch Clark retiring today. He was a great talent and really could've been a good player at Melbourne.

If this was Worlds, he'd be receiving a second strike and be deducted a premiership point. :o
Well, according to our illustrious rulebook, the only current penalty for not naming a team is you get last week's team instead.
I will talk to Koop however, and see what the whole situation is.
Maybe we need a further penalty introduced for this? Another rule to re-visit at the end of the season I think.

As there have been a couple of teams impacted by this in recent weeks - what are the chances of the Asians being able to introduce a sub rule for the coming seasons?
Like what either Worlds or British have?
Not that it would have made the slightest difference to our result but Nathan Wright being subbed off early in Q1 really hurt and BB67th was impacted by the Goddard subbing and whoever had Nic Nat would probably have been hurting if they played them for the same reason.
Yeah I reckon this would be a good rule to introduce.
Tbh I don't really like it. In real life the AFL team is disadvantaged by having a gun player being subbed off and we've always said we wanted this comp to reflect real life as much as possible

Tbh I don't really like it. In real life the AFL team is disadvantaged by having a gun player being subbed off and we've always said we wanted this comp to reflect real life as much as possible
Yes but the sub rule was brought in by the AFL to reduce the advantage teams got by having a player injured early (restricting both teams to three players on the bench). So if we want to reflect real life then we should do the same imo.
Yeh I mean that if we were to bring in a sub rule it should be that we have to name a sub to reflect real life (as in part of your starting 15). Rather than replacing the subbed player with another score. Which i feel is kind of a cop out for bad luck. Just means the stronger teams with strong depth will be stronger. Eliminating injuries/subbed players gives less chance for weaker teams to cause an upset
Not a huge fan of it myself, but definitely something to look out come the end of the year.

I agree with this. If something doesn't go your way this season you just have to cop it and new rules can be suggested at the end of season, although I think they're going alright anyways.

I was gonna say, what the flower has Texas done?! Considering he's meant to be playing SANFL tomorrow :P
Now comes the real test of team's depth - the bye rounds.
Will be interesting to see if we can field a full team each week.
At least the Lambs will be without captain SJ this week :D And Rance, and Houli, and Scott Thompson, and Dixon, and Tom Lynch, and Petrie.
You know, we might be half a chance here... Though I haven't looked to see who we'll be missing yet.
So just crunching the numbers for the bye weeks
Missing from starting 15
Round 8 - Mitch Duncan, Leigh Adams, Matt Shaw, Nathan Grima, Ben Cunnington, Matthew Stokes
Round 9 - Dean Cox
Round 10 - Jobe Watson, Josh Kennedy, David Mundy, Sam Fisher, Mark Baguely, Paul Chapman, Michael Hurley, Tom Mitchell/Adam Goodes
Lol yeh I thought we were flowered this round... then saw we were playing the Llamas and fairly sure 99% of TBag's team is made up of Adelaide players :P
Oh are we playing in the byes, I thought we voted that we weren't playing in the byes or something along the lines of a split round from memory. Might be wrong though.

No. We definitely voted to play through the byes as normal.
Going to be interesting times at the selection table this week, especially when looking at captaincy options! Got the Dongs at home so hopefully I can make it a close match with most of my midfield gone.
Fantastic

Would people be interested if I did a retrospective CW Medal for last season?
It would mean that we would get an AXV B&F instead of an AFL one for the 2013 season.

With the other comps discussing it... What are we going to do about the positional additions in AF?
Not a huge fan of the idea myself. I don't know about positional changes happening half way through the season as it can change plans of what some coaches have and advantage some and disadvantage others.
We will see what other coaches think about it though.
And what are these additions?
Quote from: whatlez on May 06, 2014, 05:50:19 PM
And what are these additions?
They'll be announced on Thursday, I think.
Not a fan as BB said and waiting till Thursday, yeah no thanks. Even though the Llamas are ruted :P

Why are we following the lead from this inferior comp?? :P
Ftr, posies are only added, not taken away. Don't see how it hurts really but up to you! :)
Are Sportsbet doing it?
If not then I think we should stay as is.
Even if they were actually I'd probably be in favour of keeping things as is.
A few people have been noticing mistakes in the team lists by position thread.
Adamant has done a great job putting the list together, but I have not checked over it, so I don't know if it's 100% accurate. The regular team lists thread is accurate.
So Koop again failed to submit a full team this week, incurring a fourth strike, which under our penalties system involves a potential sacking.
Speaking to Koop recently, he has been busy with life and not in the best of health, and struggled to gain regular internet access. He has also acknowledged that his commitment hasn't been up to standards this season so far.
Now I never like to see a coach sacked, but obviously some action needs to be taken to ensure that the Eskimos can still be a competitive team. One suggestion that came up was that a co-coach be brought in to the Eskimos, with this coach taking the main role at Kathmandu while Koop is unable to regularly submit a team. NigeyS was kind enough to offer his services in this role.
Nigey was the runner-up at our last new coaches vote, and is a regular member around the board, having been involved with other teams as an assistant coach previously.
I would be fine with Nigey coming in as co-coach of the Eskimos, but being a coach change, this needs a vote of approval from the rest of our AXV coaches.
Please send me a pm with a simple yes or no for Nigey to become co-coach of the Eskimos ASAP, so that we can get things all set for the start of the next round. Once a majority decision has been reached, I will let everyone know the results.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Can we wait until I play the Eskimoes so I get an easy win?
Quote from: whatlez on May 21, 2014, 10:10:20 PM

+1
Just one more week would suit me fine :)
Well we have had an overwhelming majority vote yes to Nigey being installed as co-coach of the Eskimos, so he and Koop are now joint coaches of the club.
Everyone give him a big welcome to our head coaching ranks!
Nice work Nige, congrats.

They grabbed Boyd, we got Beatle (and Isaac) 8)
Ahh ok. Hard to judge based on one year because Boyd will really suit this scoring system.
Isaac is having a ripper year though
Smith really suits this scoring system as well though being a goalkicking midfielder
Quote from: Toga on June 16, 2014, 02:57:45 PM

very true
Yeah we were thinking really long term with the acquisition of Tom Boyd.
I wouldn't expect him to be a gun in this game for until at least 2016, maybe later. Looks a 10 year gun kpp prospect though.
Smith is a good midfielder, starter for most teams, and breaking out this season but the chance to grab Boyd given the +12 for goals was too good to pass up. Also I don't think Smith will ever be in that really elite bracket in this game though I could be wrong.
Trade has just worked out well for both sides I think.
We were always going to struggle this year. We also got Murdoch for Enright in the Crocodiles deal which looks a good one for us as Boris has looked a bit past it this season and Murdoch has finally cemented his spot in the Cats team (watch for a breakout next season :P)
Yeh I liked Murdoch. Think he's averaging about 100 this year too

Goodbye Ablett, goodbye premiership?
Enter Shane Savage #theSaviour #betterthanablett
Shane Savage has kicked more goals for the Saints and Hawks than Ablett ever will.
Savage > Ablett
lol such a gun #theSaviour
Shane Savage? Pfft.
#ShaneSaviour
Finally get Mitchell back and now Walker is gone for the rest of the season. :(
Wouldn't mind Dan Hannebery and Michael Hibberd back.
Particularly Hanners, because Polec and Ebert have gone full potato recently.
Can we get a trade discussion thread for 2015 going soon BB?
To keep those of us interested who won't be playing in finals :P
Beau Maister becomes this 3rd Gazelle player to retire after Dean Cox and Nick Maxwell call it a day.
Tom Mitchell may as well retire too.

Since he's so close to retirement, you may as well trade him to the Crocs ;)
I've already had Mitch Clark and Tom Williams retire. LRT and Quinten Lynch certainties to add to that list.
I will be going away on Thursday and won't be online until Sunday at some stage. I won't be around for when lockout occurs, but I trust that everyone will play by the rules and get through the rolling lockout alright. Scores may also be a bit late after this weekend.
And a trade discussion thread sounds like a great idea. I will make a proper one next week at some stage once I get back.

Sam Fisher, Adam Goodes and Brad Sewell will probably retire as well.
Unless he goes to Carlton Titch will be up for grabs.

I just love this time of year. Nothing better than finals football, especially in the AXV!!

I hope that everyone not in finals keeps themselves active on the board over the next month, always great to have some discussion around. Maybe get around a team that you'd like to see win.
Personally I'm backing KL to take out the premiership this year, but can it be done without Ablett?
Stay tuned over the next few weeks as well for details on our Awards Night, where the first CW Medal will be held. I've already done the votes, and let me tell you it is a cracker of a count, can't wait to share it with you all!
I'll be making the Trade Discussion Thread later on tonight, and I will also be finalising details for end of year trade and draft periods soon too.
Good stuff BB.
Quick question, what happens to teams upside the 8, who are playing reserve finals? Do they name an XV?
No HGA in finals I believe, is that right?
So really the only advantage at all is the double chance for teams 1-4?
Still trying to get my head around some rules, or lack thereof since AXVs seems to be heaps different from every other XV.
I thought that we voted on HGA for finals for 2014 onwards at the end of last season... Might be wrong though

This rule was originally intended because CW thought he wouldn't have the time to do the regular score updates. We got rid of that one once I took over.
I'm going to update the rulebook with all the other changes now.
I believe it has been fully updated now. All rule changes have come from this thread. Might be worth just taking a look at it so that everyone is certain on rules.

The Strikers have been the best team all year but their depth is a little lacking imo.
Will be interesting to see how they go.
Also will no Ablett cost the Crocodiles the flag as his form slump cost us any chance last season?
Looking forward to it while I keep myself busy with trade talk...

I think he referring to your recent form in the reserves. You guys lost like 4 of the last 6.
Well, we are almost at the end of our season, and so that means our Awards Night is coming up. I'd like to hold it before the Grand Final, preferably in the week leading up to it, like Brownlow Night.
This would be in two weeks time, and I would be fine with holding it anytime from the Monday, the 25th of August, to the Thursday, the 28th of August.
I hope we can get as many coaches around as possible. It is a great CW Medal Count, and there are plenty of other awards to give out. Please post here what night would be most preferable for you to have the awards night, and we will see what we can work out.

Also, as some of you may have noticed, this year we are trying something different by having all the XV counts and M0nty Medal on the one night. This will be next Tuesday, the 26th of August. I believe at this stage that all counts are going to be held in The Front Bar, but I'm still not quite sure on that. Not sure how well it will work, but something different to try this year.
So all of you have no excuse not to be on for awards night. I want to see a big AXV turnout so we can celebrate the first Colliwobblers Medal properly!
I'll have to give my apologies in advance BB, I have 8-ball comp every Tuesday night so wont be there for medal night :(
Important Announcement
The mighty Bangkok Crabs think it's well overdue that we have a replacement for Rids on our coaching panel.
In light of this I'm proud to announce that Vlossy is now senior assistant and will be involved in all trade dicussions. He's an absolute footy tragic, a friend and work colleague who I've been working on to get involved for ages.
Welcome aboard mate 8)

I can't send any pm's to him.
Banned atm
2 weeks i think
Cheers guys.
It's a shame he's banned, but at least he won't miss too long of the trade period.
A quick announcement here from the Manila Folders.
We are pleased to announce that Levis43 will be joining our ranks as an assistant coach.
Please everyone get around him and give him a proper welcome to the AXV Community. ;)
Also, Dane Swan is close to being sold. If you have any interest in him and you haven't yet spoken to me, now would be the time!
And thanks to those who have had patience waiting while we shop Swanny around for the best price, I will let you all know in the coming days which club he will be off to!
And let's get some trades going people! Only 2 in a week is not good enough!! :P

BB part of the reason I have been reluctant to do too many trades is the limit on list movements. Any chance we could up this to 10 (per period) next season?

+1
Reason why worlds is fun in trade periods, dont need to worry about structuring deals around movement caps.
Yeh agree. We've only got the one movement OUT left
Yeah we definitely need more list movements.
Oh and welcome Levis43. Good to have you on board mate
Welcome mate.
Holy shower, did not realise Redden averaged 140 and was 11th highest average :o
Yeh your mids were beasts this year. Lewis was huge as well, and Barlow
Yeah Barlow 3rd at 145 and Lewis 7th. Bloody more than I thought. I'm underrating Redden much!

You may have noticed that we have created a couple of sub-boards for team threads and archives, similar to what the EXV has done, and I am in the process of transferring threads over.
I think it is a good move to move threads from old years to the archive board and all team threads to the team board. This will make things easier to find instead of having to go through pages of threads to find the one you are after.
This doesn't have to be a permanent change, just something I thought we could try out, so let me know what you think of it.
Brilliant mate, thats a great idea. Will make it heaps cleaner and easier

I think this is great, especially here in AXVs since there's at least two threads made a week and some team threads end up on page 29372 very easily. :P
I remember during the off-season last year, we were able to find a list of all players and their SportsBet averages and they were listed by position in a thread to be used as a reference when trading... I can't seem to find any players' averages this year which is making it difficult for me to figure out players' values.. Any chance anyone could find a list for this season? :)

I just access the Sportsbet website. It's a pain, but yeah.

This would be awesomeeeeeee!
It would be worth everyone's time to have a look at the Draft Thread I've just set up. It contains all the draft rules, including where players picked in each draft can go, which is important to know!
There is also the list of leftover players from last year's unpicked players pool, which I still need to go through and get rid of players who have been de-listed and retired. Still, it is there so people can see what kind of players are available with their rookie picks!
I've also set up the de-listings thread. Probably a good idea to check it out as well, just to familiarise yourself with how everything is going to run this off-season.

Cheers for the offer KB but I'll pass man. ^
Elephants are looking for an assistant though.
Truth is Vinny was sacked and is trying to get out lightly
:o
Truth is Vinny tried dongs for a little bit but came to realise it really wasn't for him and went back to the dildos
truth is Vinny has a line of beautiful women lined up around the block and needs more time to get through them all. it's hard out here for a pimp

Yep, retirements and de-listings go together.
Lance Franklin is likely to be traded tonight. Now accepting last ditch offers in an attempt to win him.
Hey BB can we post out delistings now?
The thread seems to be locked?
The de-listings thread is now open.
Please remember to just make on post in there for de-listings, and edit it if you make any changes before the deadline comes around.
So, announcing the Spinking Medal presentation will be held tomorrow night (Friday) at 8pm AEST. Where there will be a host of awards presented. Like the Coaches Awardand the Spud of the Year amongst others. Co-hosted by Nigel and myself it should be just as fun as last year.
Once again the Almanac award will be running. This time the polling was done 5-4-3-2-1 to make it less tedious for me. All you have to do is fill in the blanks with Kathmandu players to try and guess the top 10 in our best and fairest. Whoever gets the most right in the correct places wil win. Will someone be able to topple JROO from his throne? :o
**Unknown Player** - 47
**Unknown Player** - 38
**Unknown Player** - 29
**Unknown Player** - 26
**Unknown Player** - 22
**Unknown Player** - 21
**Unknown Player**- 20
**Unknown Player** - 14
**Unknown Player** - 11
Bonus points if you can name 4 out of the 7 players outside of those 10 to poll.
Please send submissions to myself or post them in the Kathmandu thread.
Team list is below for your reference.

Just looking through the draft thread, can someone explain this rule to me as I'm a bit confused by it :-[
* When a team chooses to PASS in the National Draft, they will receive that pick at the same number in the preseason/rookie draft.
If I passed on Pick 53 in the National Draft for instance, don't I already have Pick 53 in the Rookie Draft?

You would then get another pick immediately preceeding Pick 53 in theRookie Draft.

First off, I'd like to apologise for not being on much the last few days. I've been quite busy so I haven't had a chance yet to respond to trade pm's and trade approval, but I will try and get around to it tonight.
And also, we have the results from our rules voting here. The bolded and red options are the ones selected by the competition as a majority. Everything was voted to keep with the current setting, except for the LTI.
#1 - Long Term Injury List
A) Only players who are placed on their AFL clubs LTI may be placed on an AXV LTI (Current Setting)
B) Players who are sacked or retire with immediate effect in the middle of an AFL season may be placed on an AXV LTI
C) Players who are injured for 8 or more weeks may be placed on an AXV LTI as long as they are still listed to be 8 weeks away from returning from injury when placed on the LTI (8 weeks is the minimum amount for AFL players to be placed on LTI)
D) Players who are sacked, retire with immediate effect or have an injury for 8 or more weeks may be placed on an AXV LTI (Combination of Options C & D)
#2 - Home Ground Advantage
A) 3% of total team score (Current Setting)
B) 4% of total team score
C) Double the score of the lowest scoring player, before any bonuses have been applied
D) Double the score of the lowest scoring player, after any bonuses have been applied
#3 - The Draw
A) Every team plays each other team once - the remaining games are randomly generated (Current Setting)
B) Every team plays each other team once - the remaining games are based on the previous season's ladder position
#4 - Team Rivalries
A) Each team plays their rivals in rivalry round - if they play twice is up to the nature of the draw (Current Setting)
B) Each team plays their rivals in rivalry round and on one other occasion throughout the season
#5 - Bye Rounds
A) AXV teams play every round regardless of byes (Current Setting)
B) AXV teams do not play during the bye rounds
#6 - Naming ineligible players (rookie listed players not eligible for senior games or players from another club)
A) Naming ineligible players is the same as naming a player who did not play - Normal Emergency Rules apply (Current Setting)
B) The emergency that covers an ineligible player has their score halved, including any other penalties
C) Naming an ineligible player will result in a 0 for that position, with no emergency cover
#7 - Penalties for not naming a team
A) 1st offence = warning, 2nd offence = 100 points penalty, 3rd offence = Loss of 2 premiership points, 4th offence = potential sacking (Current Setting)
B) 1st offence = warning, 2nd offence = Loss of 2 premiership points, 3rd offence = potential sacking
#8 - Emergency Cover
A) If a team has a player not play, with no emergencies playing to cover him, they receive a 0 (Current Setting)
B) If a team has a player not play, with no emergencies playing to cover him, they receive 25% of the next player on their team list who has played (This would require teams to rank their team lists before the season begins)
#9 - OOP Rucks
A) Out of position players who play in the ruck receive 50% of their score (Current Setting)
B) Out of position players who play in the ruck receive 50% of their score plus an extra 3% for every cm the player is above 190cm (E.g. ale Hooker - (197cm). As Hooker is 7cm above 190cm his OOP ruck weighting would be 50%+(7*3=21) = 71%)
lol each week through the season the majority of this comp wanted to change the rules to benefit themselves now nothing is changed

Same here.
I like how it can allow for upsets - adds a bit of unpredictability to the seasons and gives weaker teams a chance to win some weeks when otherwise they would have no chance.
Yeah teams with depth get rewarded. Teams with only 15 good players get punished and deservedly

The Crabs did well during the byes (so this isnt motivated by self interest), but that doesnt alter the fact that l dont think it's good that we play during them.
For 3 weeks games are played with teams that are very very different from the week to week matches in our league ........ which l think could potentially undermine the finals hopes of some teams given the wrong set of circumstances.
**I dont think it remotely reflects the way things are in the AFL either.
I voted to keep it the same just to keep it simple for BB and creates a bit more excitement with upsets. But not really fussed

Any team good enough to win the flag should be finishing Top 4 anyway so one, two or even three losses (highly doubtful as most teams have their good players stacked in one by round) shouldn't affect them.
If a team misses the 8 because of it then unlucky but 1) Perhaps they should have better depth and 2) They probably weren't winning the flag anyway.
Also it encourages teams not to stack up on players from one team (usually the one they support) which I like as well.

BREAKING NEWS
Jack Trengove has just been named the new Captain of the TLFC, the young leader who had most of the year in a moon boot to heal a heel, was an obvious selection as he is just an impeccable young leader
David Mundy and Jack Macrae are the new Vice Captains with Ty Vickery, Jeremy Cameron, Tommy Lynch and Steven May in the Leadership group
The Llamas believe with what they are doing on and off the field, they can push for a finals birth as early as next season
I find it nothing short of absurd that Jack Macrae isn't captain. :o

This would have been good to have been done when the rule ammendments were. But it's too late now, as teams have already structured their trades accordingly, and would in effect be penalised for good planning and list management.
But l'm all for it to be changed next year, it'd be a good common sense move that would benefit all teams if in place from the start of the trading period.
Yea i wouldnt have had jack martin on my rookie list :P
To be honest I would of mentioned it but I was banned then I thought it was common sense as most other comps are doing it as I said. Only thing I don't like about it, is that if you get a player from our rookie draft then they are on the Rookie list. Someone like Miles, I couldn't just chuck on the senior list.
Also what's the go with trading in other peoples rookies? E.g. I traded Miles to Nost. So Nost has to upgrade Miles or nah?

I thought I read somewhere that if you trade a player on your senior list for a rookie listed player then that player becomes on the senior list.
I hope you're right ........ but don't think so
Yeah, since Miles is on the rookie list, Prestia would replace him on Lez's rookie list. So Lez has to upgrade him, while Miles would go on Nost's senior list to replace Prestia. I think that's how it works.

So this is what I mean. Stupid rules. I thought they would be fixed without question.
Hey everyone,
I'm really sorry but I have had a really huge week and I have barely had a chance to be online. I will respond to all trade talks, trade approvals and everything else tomorrow once I get a chance.
And also, with the rookie list query above, what JROO said is not quite how it works, nos was correct in what he said.
If Miles is on the rookie list at one club, he moves onto the rookie list at another club. And Prestia will go from one senior list to another senior list.
The naming rookies at the start of a season idea is one that could be implemented, I hadn't considered it. It really should have been brought up when we had rule discussions, but it is unfortunately too late to consider that for next season now.
Too late for next season... which is still like 5 months away?

We are at the stage now where teams have traded and plan to draft with the current rookie rule. It should've been brought up when we had rule discussions if coaches wanted the rule to be changed.
Yeh can't change it now lads
Do we have the draft order actually posted up anywhere at the moment?
Because last year I remember the draft order was based on when you got knocked out of finals, not on the final ladder position. But I have a feeling trades have been negotiated on based on final ladder position...

The running draft order is in the Official Trade Thread and it is based off where you get knocked out in finals. And that's the way trading picks has worked thus far.
Ah perfect cheers BB I hadn't seen that! I was just wondering cos I couldn't remember a trade where the Crabs got N23 so wasn't sure how the order had been done but it's all ok, Crabs got N23 from the Ales in a trade. All sorted, sorry!
BB got a suggestion regarding the trade committee process mate. Posted it in the other thread but it'll probably get lost
You rule on trades as per normal. But if the 2 teams involved plus two more teams put forward concerns that the decision is wrong, then it gets sent to the committee.
Atm its unfair that all blocked trades go to the committee, because on that logic even the approved trades should as well.
So far you have been spot on with your decisions so I can't see this being an issue if we change it slightly.

I can't see the point in this really, as very few trades get blocked anyway (why?) ........ because there is an inherent safety measure there in the first place, that being the 2 teams (more in the case of mutli-team trades) involved, as the negotiating process itself ensures the trade is relatively even.
Then, if necessary, and requested by all involved in the trade it's reviewed by the Appeals Panel, who l might add are very knowledgable, totally unbiased and respected members of the ff community.

We both know thats not always true man.
Basically both parties involved with the trade will nearly always request it to go to the committee. If BB's decision is way off then it won't be hard to find 2 other coaches to also push for it to go to the committee.
If all blocked trades are going to the committee then you may as well say all passed trades should as well.
The committee is there to assess BB's trade decisions that the AXVs coaches see as being incorrect.

l disagree, but hey that's ok, we can't all be on the same page and be in agreement all of the time.
As for all of the trades going to the Appeals Panel, why? ........ BB has been installed as the Admin of our league for a reason. In the bigger picture very few trades are disputed, and therefore the only ones that need to be adjudicated on by independent accessors.
Your final point is your interpretation of the rule, mine is that the Appeals panel is there to adjudicate on trades that have not been passed, but the involved coaches believe they should have. There have only been 3 blocked trades, these have all gone to appeal because the parties involved requested it (as is their right) and subsequently 2 of those have been reversed.

Yeh thats fine man and I guess this latest one has probably brought it on.
My thinking is that the coaches involved in the comp have a better understanding of the scoring and players than the committee, which is understandable of course. And we're yet to see a coach who wasn't directly involved in the trade pop up and say that the trade was fine.
The Hibberd trade for example.
- It was blocked by BB. If this was seen as unfair/incorrect then it wouldn't be hard to find two more coaches to push for it to be evaluated again by the committee.
- It was passed by the committee but we are yet to see a coach within this board who wasn't involved in the trade stand up and say the trade was fair. Now some have their own self interest in mind, and the rest simply see it as an unfair trade. I'll put my hand up and say that I have no interest in trading for Hibberd at all, simply because of the ASADA saga. And I see it as a very unfair trade. Just my opinion though which I've already voiced.
- But if the admin thinks the trade is unfair, all coaches not invovled with the trade think it is unfair, yet the trade is passed, surely there is reason for a review of our process.
I like your idea Ric, it's a good one, but I agree with nost (on not needing to change how it is).

Well no and i'm sure some might, but focusing on players for Fantasy comps isn't as in depth as for XVs comps. Can't really disgree that the AXVs coaches have more in depth understanding of a players value than the trade comittee will.
My last line above is really the main concern.
- But if the admin thinks the trade is unfair, all coaches not invovled with the trade think it is unfair, yet the trade is passed, surely there is reason for a review of our process.
I don't give a shower where Hibberd goes. I just don't like the inconsistent calls being made. Seems like favourites are always on the beneficial side of everthing. We should of just respected BB's decision instead this committee that no one voted to put in, in the first place.
I don't get how 14 coaches are against a trade then 3 randoms on a committee think the trades are fair. Are they familiar of the scoring or how much more valuable defenders in this game.

Ossie knows his DT and SC. He also played British for a year and came like 5th in sportal this year. Holz doesn't know anything about British and Asian comps, but he was part of drafting in British. And Ringo is DT and SC and British Admin. There you go. On the other hand Sportsbet is my #1

I don't give a shower where Hibberd goes. I just don't like the inconsistent calls being made. Seems like favourites are always on the beneficial side of everthing. We should of just respected BB's decision instead this committee that no one voted to put in, in the first place.
I don't get how 14 coaches are against a trade then 3 randoms on a committee think the trades are fair. Are they familiar of the scoring or how much more valuable defenders in this game.
I'm fairly sure these '3 randoms' that you're referring to are the admins of the other three XVs comps.
Randoms when it comes to knowing the scoring system... Make a proper response instead of trying to be cheeky ::)
Not trying to be cheeky. Based on what you said, I assumed you didn't know who they were.
Do you know for a fact that they don't know the scoring system?
I wouldn't say it's in their top 3 and that's a guarantee.
How can you guarantee it if you dont know?
You might well be right, but on the other hand...........
Ossie knows his DT and SC. He also played British for a year and came like 5th in sportal this year. Holz doesn't know anything about British and Asian comps, but he was part of drafting in British. And Ringo is DT and SC and British Admin. There you go. On the other hand Sportsbet is my #1
all of that's fine, but in no way addresses whether they are involved with or understand SB

They may not have the greatest understanding of the competition, but our board does get all the relevant scoring information relating to each individual trade, and they also have at least a basic understanding of the scoring system and what worth different positions carry.

If we get a petition of 14 coaches can we overturn the committee? :P

But has anything hurtful been said. I want to discuss trades lol
actually. rereading it, yeh it probably should have been locked
Nothing bad was sad at all lol
I just don't get where Ringo was coming from
Quote
You lot are nothing more than a mob of whingers.
I have just read through the thread and feel my integrity has been attacked. Your rules allowed for any one who has a trade rejected to appeal to the trades committee for review. This was done and three of us without any collaboration between us ruled the trade to be reasonable. So to me you can not seem to accept the ruling of an independent trade committee and keep belly aching on. Why don't you act like normal human beings and accept an umpires decision.
But I forget not dealing with normal people.
- All coaches outside of the parties involved think the trade was unfair
- The admin of the comp thinks it was unfair
- Even HP thinks the trade is unfair
Yet we're whingers for voicing our concern that it was unfair? Surely our concerns should be held with more value
It is unfair cause I rate Hibberd highly while others also rate McGovern highly, took that into account. And also cause I like picks and this year has some pretty decent fantasy prospects. If I had Hibberd, I'd still park him in my backline for years to come, even with the Bomber dramas. However, really depends how highly you rate McGovern and the pick upgrade in comparison. Has a clear winner and probably could get better deals elsewhere, but I've seen worse go through in other comps in the past.
And I locked the thread, not BB. Would have locked this and the Official trades as well for a day or two, but people were posting trades in there so didn't want to. And well, this isn't my comp so didn't want to lock everything down which is why this was still open. I've done the same in Worlds before when things get a bit TOO out of hand, although things tend to be let through alot.
So why was the thread locked?
If it was up to me, I'd lock all three until the weekend. But I don't want to overstep my place as BB's comp.
Why though? Because there was discussion?
If it's about Rids. He was intentionally stirring up trouble. His arguments were just to fire people up and were contradictory.

Anyone want a few young gun mids? Id still like to get a quality FWD/BCK/MID for some of my 19-21yr olds
I have too many players, let me know :)
If you have nothing positive to say! Shut the flower up!
I'm very disappointed with people'say inability to move on from this decision.
And this has gone beyond just banter, there have been some personal attacks on coaches here, which were not necessary at all.
I'd like to see everyone move on from this now and accept what has happened. And if there is more discussion on the matter, I will be very tempted to lock all the threads for the weekend.
BB it might have gotten lost in all this but have a suggestion for going forward.
You rule on trades as per normal. But if the 2 teams involved plus two more teams put forward concerns that the decision is wrong, then that is when it gets sent to the committee.
That goes for both approved and blocked trades.
Thoughts?
Can I ask? Do we have any ruling tanking?
Irrelevant on the current issue, I just don't like coaches publically saying that they prefer to not take the best deal for no real particular reason.
I have resigned, my reason is below, as a quote from the PM I sent to BB, just to clear up any assumption that I have thrown a tantrum and walked out.Quote from: BB67th on October 24, 2014, 05:09:04 PM
Hey Koop,
I understand your frustrations at the moment mate, but I'd urge you to take some time before making a final decision on your future in the comp. I'd love to see you stay around, I rate you as one of the better coaches in this competition.
I've made a post on the board, and any more discussion on this issue there will result in the board being locked and possible further action being taken.
So please just take a little whole to consider your decision mate, a majority of us want you to stick around :)
Hey BB
the decision has nothing to do with my feelings towards anything said in any of the threads, I have coped with that stuff for 3 yars and know how to handle myself and when to withdraw and unlike Nige, have no problem with people expressing their distaste at a desicion and they have the right to do so. However, after I withdrew myself from the topic last night, an unknown FF user created a new account imitating one of my former assistants and started trolling and harassing me about the trade and my character in general. Since this was the only account performed by this account before its instant de-activation HP has had no luck tracing anything. I am absolutely certain it is someone from inside the AXV as well as a a founding coach. Because that guy was my assistant only for the first ever preseason (August 2012- January 2013) and deactived his account mid last year, as well as the timing of it, being less than an hour after I withdrew. I have my suspicions, but I now refuse to participate in a competition where members will go to those lengths to get what they want. I will be putting this statement in the AXV discussion thread and I hope whoever did it is happy with the result. You are a great administrator and this is a great competition, and I hope to continue on as an assistant somewhere, but you can consider my resignation handed in.
- Koop.

yeah he was hacked and they were posting with his account

This is exactly what will be happening if it's found out who the culprit is. I'm furious that someone would do this in the AXV, and it undermines all the work that CW, I, all the coaches and everyone else who has been a part of the AXV has worked to create.

Someone taking the banter that one step too far
let's call a spade a spade ......... this final episode can in no way be called banter, it's clearly underhanded gutless harrassment
He didn't call it banter, he said it was too far in comparison to the banter beforehand. ;)
He never mentioned the words "in comparison the the banter beforehand" ........ you did ;)
Granted Noz may well have meant that, but l dont think its for me or you to embelish to make it so ....... l was merely commenting on his post as it was
Lol don't really see how you didn't understand that at all.

So are we going to reverse the trade since it was the reason 2 people quit and it will only be revisited for years to come?

Are you seriously blaming the trade for this, and not the subsequent ongoing "banter"?
And just to clarify, is this a thinly veiled threat to continue harping on about it for years to come?

there are a number of definitions for the word "threat", but the one to which l was referring was.........
an indication or warning of probable trouble.......as in the threat of a storm was in the air.
**l should have clarified that**
I really don't care anymore if trades like this can go through then fine. If people want to deactivate their accounts then fine. If people want to quit as coaches then fine.
Can a list of proper and in proper banter be laid out for the rest of us to follow. I wouldn't want an incident like this again.
I agree with noz.
I reckon the trade is the reason why guys quit and if that's the reason then the trade was seriously bad for 2 leave as a result.

Wait Koop left, who was the other person?
Quote from: Vinny on October 26, 2014, 09:38:22 PM
Wait Koop left, who was the other person?
Vlossy/Rids, but he hasn't quit, he's still very much a part of the Bangkok Crabs, but he did deactivate his ff account because he was sick of all the garbage going on here
I deactivated the account because I can not help myself with replying and I didnt want to throw more fuel on the fire. I think enough has been said on this matter and people really need to move on.
Rightly or wrongly, the trade has been approved. The decision has been made. Out of respect to the comp, now it is time to look to future trades and drafts.
I was going write a big message which would ruffle you Nost and may make you look silly. This is all in hindsight, trades look bad at the time, but turn out alright. Doubt this one will turn out alright, it might but I dunno, but oh well. There are some other terrible trades done which looked good initially, but turned out terrible. I suppose even though Koop has a poor trading history, we are picking on him, but I see it all and fair. But oh well, we just hope Hibberd gets a 2 year ban and then we will look stupid, but it won't matter as Elephants are set to pick up their first premiership 8) Just look at the squad if positioning goes right.
Def: S Burgoyne (Haw), B Smith (Adel), G Ibbotson (Freo), L Hansen (NM), J Geary (StK)/R Harwood (Bris)
Mid: M Barlow (Freo), J Lewis (Haw), T Boak (Port), D Prestia (GC), O Wines (Port), L Shiels (Haw)/ D.Shiel (GWS)
Ruck: T Goldstein (NM)
Fwd: J Roughead (Haw), JJ Kennedy (WC), T Walker (Adel), S Crameri (WB)/J Watts (Melb)
Nice team, the positioning looks pretty right too
And someone said they prefer the Eskimoes list ;) best list in the comp If you want me :P
I really don't mind the look of the Eskimoes Inuits' best 15 at all. They will be very competitive for many years to come.
Backs: Lumumba, Mzungu, Picken, L. Henderson
Mids: Ebert, Hannerbery, Isaac Smith, Greenwood
Rucks: Ryder
Fwds: Howlett, Bruest, Jetta, McGovern
Utils: Gaff, Polec
Then throw in some of the kids they have like Zach Merrett, Honeychurch, nat 9 and nat 13, Ben Lennon and it becomes very clear the direction the team is headed.
I do like your team Lez but there is not much wrong with the team above. Been a great few years of list regeneration imo.
I think it gets even more impressive when you add the age of the players, which I have done in brackets.
Backs: Lumumba (28), Mzungu (29), Picken (28), L. Henderson (25)
Mids: Ebert (24), Hannerbery (24), Isaac Smith (26), Greenwood (26)
Rucks: Ryder (27)
Fwds: Howlett (26), Bruest (24), Jetta (25), McGovern (22)
Utils: Gaff (22), Polec (22)
Zach Merrett (19), Ben Lennon (19), Jack Hombsch (22), Taylor Duryea (23), Riley Knight (20), Mitch Honeychurch (20), Anthony Morabito (23), Andrew Boston (21), Dominic Barry (21), Sam Rowe (27), Alex Silvagni (27)
Throw in nat picks 9 and 13 and there is some seriously good age spread there.
That list doesnt impress me in the slightest lol.

For a team that finished bottom in 2013 and then make finals in 2014 the list is actually very impressive. Don't forget it is still a work in progress but there is a very clear direction in where the team is heading. It is what I enjoy the most with comps like this. Analyzing lists and being able to control the direction you want your team to go. I always do a little break down of each list (time permitting) and I always find it interesting to see where coaches and teams are heading.
Everyone has differing opinions though which is fine. But all this doom and gloom predictions that are being forecast are probably well and truly over the top.
Still hoping whoever sent that PM is found out somehow, can only imagine how smug they must be right now knowing there's not much we can do.
I don't like how youre the main advocate of a club you don't even own. That's starting 15. I said 'list'. Second in the reserves is how my list went last year. Mzungu as def? Really?
Not sure if youre taking the piss, comparing my team to that team and thinking it's close. 4 alright mids, Ryder and Bruest doesn't make a great side...

Rids has been informed of the relevant info about how to find the culprit, and it has been passed onto the relevant people here at ff, now it's just a matter of wait and see.

Settle down champ. Just saying it isnt that bad. I also said I liked your team as well. There is no hidden agenda. Just showing a little support to Koops and his team. I am getting tired of all the accusations etc of collusion. Just because I am being pragmatic and optimistic about things does NOT mean I am doing anything but stating my thoughts (I believe this is a forum after all).
Mzungu played plenty across half back again. I have no idea what he averaged in SB, but he went at 77 in DT which is very decent. I expect him to gain defender status and if so he will be a very solid scorer. Mzungu was listed as a back/mid this year in UF. I might be wrong and have been plenty of times in the past but time will tell.
The fact of the matter is, I am trying to give support and a little belief in a team that everyone wants to hammer. My apologies if being a decent bloke offends you in any way but you will need to get used to it because it is who I am.
In regards to the tracking of the IP, I have forwarded on the information I have received. It is now in the hands of the appropriate people. Fingers crossed the culprit is found and dealt with.
Hey Rids, why are you back so soon? Like you only left for about 2 days. Just curious. Also you settle down with your 6 paragraphs hahaha.

I am back as I was asked to help out in regards to the IP tracking. Thought that was obvious. No-one wants what has occurred. I also respect the comp of AXV and Nost so decided the right thing to do was to rejoin and help out if I can.

Its not that at all lol. The opinion that everyone is targeting Koop is completely unfair and bullshower. We love having him as part of the comp. One person has completely crossed the line and its pretty disgsuting what he/she did. But people certainly are not targeting Koop at all

Dude, I brought it up because some people in this thread need to chill the flower out. Noz made a funny joke some time ago, some people have occasionally been bringing it up ever since. I decided I would then. It wasn't even directed at Koop, it was at JBs.
Clearly Koop hasn't taken offence to it so stop trying to start more issues when there's already enough to sift through as is.

In the end l saw some movement and at first thought it ws a little wombat, but when l got closer it was an Echidna. Which is really wierd for Mildura, anyway l tried but couldn't catch it and was worried my dog would get it, so l put a barracade around it to keep it safe until morning. When l got up he was gone.

*reads through pages and pages of posts*
Well, that was fun.
For the record, I thought the trade had a clear winner, but I could see how people could value McGovern/Hibberd different so let it pass.
Would I have made the decision had I known that 14 coaches voted against it? Maybe I would have, I don't know. Would I have made a different decision if I had any idea where each team was on the ladder? Maybe I would have, I don't know.
Over in British XVs, I had a trade I was certain was fair. But it was rejected. I appealed, and it was rejected again. You know what I did? Moved on. I didn't make life hell for the Administrator, I didn't stir the pot and I didn't jump up and down like my 16 month old when he goes to bed.
So, given the amount of unrest its caused, the fact I don't want to be involved in this kind of controversy, and most of all all the fun has been sapped out of it, I resign from the committee. A decision that will likely please a lot of you.
But seriously, I hope you guys can still enjoy this comp. A great comp that BB and Colli has made, don't let one thing ruin your enjoyment.

Dont talk to me about Echidna's........last weekend my dog was going off his nut most of the night on Saturday, making me get up and check constantly. In the end l saw some movement and at first thought it ws a little wombat, but when l got closer it was an Echidna. Which is really wierd for Mildura, anyway l tried but couldn't catch it and was worried my dog would get it, so l put a barracade around it to keep it safe until morning. When l got up he was gone.

So now we've got three vacancies (Lez, Koop?, Nails). Will we be able to find three new coaches?

I can stay on if really needed, but the team will go to shower probably.

Well, Coop
may return. I'll definitely apply for one or both of the teams, meaning we'll need at least one or two. Hopefully we get interest. I saw Atto nominate interest in Nails' resignation thread so that's good.
Hi all,
Quite a bit that has happened in the last few days. As many of you know, I have been very busy recently with things going on in life, and I have also been sick the last few days, so I apologise again for not being around much.
I will be back on later tonight though to start the process to find us a few new coaches.
Heyo what upski? Been a few days ;D Just thought the discussion thread needed a post :)
Anyone interested in Andy Otten? No spuds please
But otten is an injured spud?
If I was a coach..I would offer...oops hang on ...sorry waiting on votes.. ;D
Will be keen to trade if I'm voted in. 8)
Good luck, lads.
I'm not sure whether this is the right way to do it and I'm not sure whether BB wants to make a formal announcement or something? But after a receiving a PM from BB saying we could choose between us which teams we wanted, we've come to an agreement and have selected the teams we'd like to coach. :)
So do I have to keep my assistants?
I have two exams this week, so things will be slow going until Saturday 15th, where I have dedicated every moment after lunch to AFL Fantasy. (The morning belongs to the new girlfriend)
Are the team lists in the "2014 Team Lists By Position" thread updated?

Adamant runs those lists, and he does a great job with them :) I don't check them often so I'm not sure how regularly they are updated. If you're unsure, the lists in the official trade thread are the most recent official lists we have up to date.

Yeah because it had the actual trade in the post. Not because you were involved in it. All good.
Seeing as I refuse to get a sportsbet account, I get to make another spread sheet to keep all my data. Yay! :D
Is someone able to confirm to me the average's of Lumumba and Picken from this year? I need to make sure I'm on the right track.

91.62 and 95.77 respectively.
Made a SB team with all the main Eskimos players to make it easier on myself while I was helping out Coop this year.
Good, so I'm getting it right. :P My team isn't THAT bad, or maybe I just underestimate what a good scorer is. ;)

The best 18 or so isn't bad, it's just depth that is the problem.
A good Sportsbet score is a bit higher than a good DT score - a 95 avg defender in 2013 would have ranked 42nd best in the comp in 2013. Not sure where that'd fit in on this year's averages though as I don't have a SB account either.

Yeah, 95 average was around the 40th mark for defenders again.
oh, well that's not good lol
Sorry for all the questions, but is there an easy spot to find the average scores for each AXV team this season?
A good guide line is add 30% to a players DT score, and that will generally be close. 100 DT=130 SB, 80 DT=105 SB etc.
I can give you the scorin if you like PB and you can work it out?
Kicks: 4 points
Handballs: 2 points
Marks: 4 points
Hitouts: 1 point
Tackles: 6 points
Goals: 12 points
Behinds: 1 points
Free for: 1 point
Free Against: -3 points
So similar stats as DT but more emphasis on tackles and goals. Also kicks and marks weighted more compared woth handballs compared with DT (4/2 ratio vs 3/2).
Basically the deal def in this game is one listed as a def but playing as a forward lol like Carlisle perhaps. Or a swing man. Or just someone who racks up lots of possessions and kicks a lot (Eski).
Yeah I saw the scoring system and am working out my players averages. But what I'm asking is are all the scores of the teams kept somewhere, or do I need to flick through every round page to see what teams were scoring?
If you want the average round score it should be in the final ladder, which you can then divide by the number of games?

I have a few stat tables form the season which I plan to work on over the next couple of weeks, and when they're done they should show player averages in their best XV and in reserves too.
Could we have the draft order updated please?

Congratulations to Adamant for taking out coach of the year for the XV's and Amercia's comp's in what was quite a big win.
A new six man leadership group named and with Captain Jack Trengove out for an extended period, new Captain Jack Macrae has been appointed to lead the group next season, Jeremy Cameron the Vice. Levi Casboult, Richie Douglas and Chad Wingard named in the Leadership group!
This was brought up in WXV and I think it's a good idea. Being able to trade next years Draft picks in this 2nd trade period.
It adds more flexibility when doing deals.
Advertising....
http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,99816.0.html
I hope everyone's had a nice break over the Christmas/New Year period, it's time to get stuck back into AXVs I think!
Here's a few things for everyone to be aware of heading into the new season:
- The Second trade period will close on Sunday 22nd February. This is the weekend before the NAB Challenge kicks off, so trading will be finished before then, but it still gives us over a month until that date for everyone who still wants to trade.
- I am currently looking at making the fixture for the 2015 season. If any rivalries would like to be changed, please let me know as soon as possible. The fixture should be released sometime this week if all goes well.
- I am also looking for an assistant administrator for the competition. I am in for a busy year in my outside life, and an assistant would be greatly appreciated to help with the day-to-day running of the competition. If you are interested in the role, please pm me a quick application about why you'd like the role and be a good fit for it. I'll give about a week for applications to be in for this.
- Also I have developed a new year to add team and player scores throughout the season, in a way that will allow me to put statistics together on point scoring for each player in the competition. I'm in the process of putting last season's scores into this format, so stay tuned for that too!
I hope everyone is looking forward to the 2015 season as much as I am. I'm looking forward to a great year of AXVs :D
Also, everyone give a big thanks to Adamant for his great work in updating our team banners. All the new banners can be seen in the Rulebook & Information thread, and he's done a really good job with them, they look great!
So beautiful, nice work Ads!
Very nice Adamant.
If anyone else is interested in the assistant admin position, make sure you get your application to me sometime today or tomorrow. I'll be making a decision with who I go with after that.
As an assistant admin to the comp, you'd be able to help with the day-to-day running of the competition, helping set up weekly threads and calculate scores and such.
I'm pleased to announce to everyone that Ricochet will be the new assistant administrator for the AXV! He'll be helping me out with the running of the competition, and will be involved in all the processes that go on.
I have no doubts that Ric will be a strong contributor in his new role, and it will greatly benefit the competition by having an extra pair of hands to help out with the work and pitch in with new ideas.
Please give him a warm welcome to his new role.
Good work Rico!
:P
Yeah good stuff Rico, well deserved.
Thanks boys, more than happy to help out BB with all the work that he does around here.
Grats Rico!
Rico? Rico who?? :o

Well we can work out our own games right? Each team adds their own score, to make sure they aren't cheating they can sometimes look at their opps score too :)
CentreBet not running either? They played the same system a year ago
BTW welcome Ric ;D glad to have you running with us in office!
Rics first day on the job and the competition has ended.

Even if we have the scoring system, as mentioned before, manually working out the scores of 36 players (team vs team) is quite tedious. Plus the admins (BB and Rico) will probably have to do that themselves as well so they have a record of it and whatnot, could be quite time consuming unless we potentially find a new scoring system or there's an easier/more convenient way to adapt.

You might be able to use 'Ultimate footy' comp. (I think that's what it's called) and change the scoring system to mimic SB.
it may or may not work, but one thing we talked about in bxv last year was using ultimate footy and plugging the required stats into their system
Now it does appear we've got a little problem here!
We are definitely still going to have a competition running this year, it's just going to be a question of how we get our scores. I'm open to any and all suggestions at this stage, and we'll see where we go from there.
I think we should try out ultimate footy.

I've sent a tweet to Sportal and Pete Jank, hopefully we get a response.
Fortunately what we can do with this game is move it to UF.
Either we can set up a full league and allocate everyone their players or someone just needs to set up a random league and we just need someone to check the scores for all the players every week (which is very time consuming.
Actually I have another idea. Maybe BB/Rico could set up a ghost league where they enter all the players to each team and then every week after people have posted their line-up they enter them in to UF and that way UF can calculate all the scores for them.
It would mean we need to bring our lockout forward I think though to give them time to enter the teams before lockout. The only thing with this is that in order to do it the way we want we made need to make it a plus league which costs money so how would we sort that out?
I don't think we can for BXV though because their stat categories are different.

I think we should try out ultimate footy.
yeah, lets just create a keeper league. the free leagues still allow stats changes I think, then we just do a draft to redraft our teams?
I haven't had much experience with Ultimate Footy, but having had a look at the site this morning, I think it does provide a few good options for us.
Does anyone know when it opens for the new season?
Rids is pretty up with UF, so I've sent him a message.
But in the meantime you could pose the question here .........https://www.facebook.com/coachespanel .........some very knowledgable people are involved there, and you'll surely get all the answers you need
from reading FP twitter and they are linked to UF, early Feb is what they are expecting.
Let's just hope Chad "The Boss" Wingard's stats don't blow up the site! ;)

So just to keep everyone updated with what is going on regarding the competition, we are waiting until Ultimate Footy opens up, which will hopefully be soon, and then we will investigate the options that it provides us for the competition moving forward. :)

sounds good mate.........after having a chat with Rids, he says there will be no problems at all. We'll be able to set up our scoring system exactly the same as SB was last year, so it should just be business as usual for us all and our great comp will be able to continue on as is 8)

Yep it's open .......... I for one really hope we go down this path
A quick look means it is going to cost $29.95 to set up the stats scoring to include things like contested possessions, clearances etc
$39.95 will give the ability to customise fixtures and fiddle with the teams.

happy to contribute the Crabs' share
Likewise^^
So having a play around with Ultimate Footy, it does look like an encouraging option. However it might appear that you can only receive single figure points per statistic, as it keeps reverting a goal to 9 points when I enter in 12. I'll have to investigate this a bit further.
The other thing we need to consider is to what capacity we use Ultimate Footy and this forum. It would be quite possible to run almost the entire competition on Ultimate Footy if we wanted to, the customisable options there are quite extensive. If we did this however, it would require to purchase a package from the site, and there would still be differences to take into account such as adding vice-captain scores and applying our own emergency rules, which are slightly different to what ultimate footy offers. These scores could simply be edited in to the week's totals by the competition admin I believe, so it wouldn't be too much of a barrier.
Anyway, let me know what everyone's opinion on the matter is, and we'll go from there.

But don't bother yourselves as the Crabs will just be pawns to the Llamas ;D
Happy to go down the Ultimate Footy option
Sorry haven't read through the forums for a while. The issue we will have with UF is that stats/scores can only be single digit values. So the max points you can assign to a goal will be 9.
The way around this might be to have another category or to manually adjust an additional 3pts per goal per player for the round.
Okay I have a couple of points here to make.
I know for a fact last year that you were able to set 12 points for a goal as I was in a league which had those settings. It maybe that we can get this worked out.- I have the email address of one of the people who works for Ultimate Footy which is owned by Fairfax Media. I also work for the same company (albeit in a different section of the business) so I may be able to have some sway there and at the very least email him asking if we can have 12 points for a goal.
- While we could transpose everything across to UF I don't think this is the best way to go. This is a FanFooty XVs comp and the forum and team threads and forum drafts is what makes the competition in my opinion.
- I think the best thing to do would be to set up a casual league with however many people want to play, then set the scoring as the same as the SportsBet comp (assuming we can get the 12 points for goals thing sorted out). Then every week have a couple of people in the league responsible for checking what each player scored on UF and posting the results in this forum. You can see all the players scores from the Players section if you change it from All Available Players to All Players

That is the plan already isn't it?
I have posed the question about 12 points for goals and will let you know when I get a reply.
I'm not paying any money. I will sign up to UF only if I can get the scores we need off of it, otherwise I'm happy to work out my own scores myself each week.

There is one very basic solution here, I also do not allow my bank card details online ::)
But, how hard is it for each Team to calculate there scores for each player weekly? Flog, most of us actually do it anyway! ;)
To make sure nobody cheats, a Coach simply needs to check their opponents score occasionally ;)

Noz kinda summed it up, but I'll try to be a little nicer to you ;)
I signed up to coach because it was a fun thing to do on FanFooty with FanFooty members. It's not something I would pay to play, and ideally I'd like it to stay on FanFooty as much as possible.
I think I would be able to handle doing my own scores each week. I'll just set up a spreadsheet and enter the stat numbers each week. And then handpick a few players from my opposition team to make sure they aren't cheating. And then I'm happy enough :)
We won't need to worry about paying for any options. Me and Ric are nearing the end of our discussions for what course we are going to take, and it definitely won't be a paying option that we go with.
At this stage it also looks like we will be able to sort out scores by ourselves, so other coaches won't need to worry about that either.
We should have all the details worked out by tomorrow, so we will let you know then how we are going to move forward :)
I have chatted to Ultimate Footy and they can manually set the value of goals to 12 points.
Not sure why people are worried about paying $$$ as I can sort it out where we wont be.
All we need to do is forward on our league ID and they will change it for us.

Why wouldn't the comp continue here? The idea is to set up the league with the same points in UF so the admins can monitor the teams scoring etc without having to spend hours in doing so.
All the discussion, trades and team announcements would be occurring here. Actually nothing would change with the exception of using Ultimate Footy site to get the scores rather than the disposed Sportal site.
That's alright then :)
For the record. If we did need to upgrade the league I'd be willing to pay for all those who weren't willing to. It's only like $30 or $40 in total. I'd rather pay for everyone than have the whole league fold.
But, it looks like our issue will be fixed anyway.
Alright everyone, so after looking at all of our available options, Ric and I have decided that we will not be going down the Ultimate Footy path.
As we would only be using it to get scores from, we've decided that it will be easier to set up our own spreadsheets which can easily calculate scores by simply copying and pasting stats into them.
So the bottom line for this is, nothing will have to change for the week to week running of the competition for the coaches, things will continue as normal on the forum.
I would like to thanks Rids for investigating the Ultimate Footy option for us a bit further too, I appreciate your work there mate.
I'd be interested in doing an Ultimate Footy league with Sportsbet style scoring though if anyone is interested for a bit of fun.
I don't mind setting it up - we'd just need 8-10 coaches who are keen. Can fit in more if more people are keen.
Let me know if there is the interest and I'll create a league.

SB based their positions on virtual sports, same as RDT and SC. So assume we'll keep it the same but its not something I've spoken to BB about.
i wasnt 100% sure both comps were the same? guess that was the main question

All players who don't take part in your on field XV count for reserves, so that includes emergencies who don't play, meaning the Head Hunters do have a score this week for the reserves, although quite low :P

What's normal though? Play whoever you have named and if you don't have an XV then tough luck? I'm okay with that, just want clarification. :)
Or is normal like the way Worlds and BXVs do it?

All good, I guess that makes things interesting. Probably teams with better depth or a more even spread of players from all clubs will stand more of a chance of picking up wins.
I'd be interested in seeing if the competition is interested in switching over to the way the other comps do it next year, it works nicely there and you don't really just have to rely on luck.
Well if it's just field your best and nothing is done regarding bye players then I have lost, of the 15 players the Gazelles named last round, NONE have a Round 13 bye... :( Meanwhile I have half the Port side :'(

I'm a bit of trouble next week. Round 12 won't be too big a problem, but Round 13 again will see me lose a decent chunk of my best XV.

We did explore those options over the off season and voted apon it and we chose to stick with what we got. Its unique about our comp and gives lesser teams a shot at upsets.
Yeah that isn't such a bad idea, kind of a league equalisation without actually disadvantaging the top sides
Like I said though, I'm happy to roll with it. I don't mind it.
Wasn't aware of the vote, but that's fair enough.
Yeah we voted to keep it the same as last year.
I'm happy with it, since my depth is crazy.
Just realised we play the Ales in Round 12 and 22 out of 44 players on our list have the Round 12 bye. From the other 22 players on our list, only 7 played for their AFL teams the weekend just gone :o
What's the biggest losing margin so far in the history of the Comp? :'( :'( :'(
Its alright im crossing my fingers that rocky is back for my SC team :P
It's probably good in a way as I was never going to beat you regardless and I was never going to win in round 12 regardless. So I may as well get them both out the way together so I have a chance of picking up some wins in other games ;)

In the remaining 7 rounds the Eskimos have 3rd, 9th, 11th, 13th and 16th twice so would be disappointing if we didn't make finals from here :( Greenwood should be back too and he was a 130avg player at North last year :)

Plus you're a game clear already. Bears are certainly better than 9th though

Decision announced. They've decided to use the best 18 scores as they do in the bye rounds if that changes anything.
See the Match Centre man :)
We've decided to go with averages. Its the fairest way to go about it for XVs
Yeah, I saw it immediately after I posted and hence deleted my post haha. :-[
Thoughts on maybe having a knockout comp next year like Worlds has World Idol and BXVs has the Rob Roy?
Should be some good fun and it's not really any extra effort.

Came to mind after you mentioned trying to get the Rising Star up for next year.
There was a lot more activity and excitement in the comp back when we had the team of the week/rising star and iirc there was even like betting odds or a tipping comp or something?

This all sounds like good stuff to get coaches more involved with the competition.
I plan to be a lot more active next season in my admin role and it will be a lot easier to have these extra features running then.
If other coaches ever want to run something like a tipping or betting odds comp, I would be more than happy to let them run that, it would be great to have a bit more excitement around the board!
The knockout competition would be good and it's pretty easy to run as well.

That's like asking for Carlton to get up last weekend.. Coming off a loss, our boys will be pumped. Captain Sloane is just getting started.
We're getting smashed by injuries... so much so we only scored 1600 and got beaten by the Gazelles this past week.
Fingers crossed we get some luck and hang on to top 4...

There's two matches left and you are two games clear of 4th. I wouldn't worry about that :) (even though we are 4th and we play you this week)

For some reason I thought we were 4th and it was closer than that. :-[
Edit: Our score last week wasn't great, but should Shiels and Shedwards back soon at least. Shiels probably this week and Shedwards the week after. Having them for finals will be handy.
Anyone want to start talking trades? I could possibly be into trading Buddy Franklin, but would need to be a darn good deal.
Everyone on the list is up for trade other than maybe Jack Redden, will depend on the deal for him.
Willing to trade Fletcher for a late pick, same with Lachie Keefe and Clinton Young.

Hanging out for the final ladder :P
Think our win last week will mean we finish 4th bottom.
After a dismal start to the year we actually had a really good finish. There's some good signs for us for the future and I reckon we'll be okay.
I'm going to have a little look back now and do a quick trade review from our off-season.
Kuala Lumpur gives: Josh Caddy + NAT #15 + Dean Towers + NAT #31
Taiwan gives: Harley Bennell + NAT #34
Nat Pick 15 was Jayden Laverde so in my opinion this deal is already looking like it will turn out in our favour. Josh Caddy is fast catching up to Bennell and maybe has even surpassed him. Both will be mid only next season I think as well. Then I got Laverde and Dean Towers as well for a 3 pick drop in the second round. I'll call this a win for us, though the Crocs will be happy with Bennell's output post the drugs scandal.
Bangladesh gives: Dean Kent + Mason Wood + Nat 16.
Taiwan gives: Cyril Rioli
Cyril Rioli has been in great form this season and has kept himself fit so on first glance this trade looks like a bit of a bust ... until you look at who was drafted with Pick 16 which was Jack Steele. In my opinion Steele is going to be an absolute jet in the future so despite an injury-interrupted year from Kent and only a few promising flashes from Mason Wood this year I feel like I've come out of this trade looking fairly decent. Short term win to the Bears but, long term I think we might end up taking the points in this one.
Kuala Lumpur gives: Jamie Cripps + Nick Graham
Taiwan gives: Matt Rosa + Joel Patfull.
The improvement in Jamie Cripps this season has been a huge bonus and I think this was a great trade for us. Nick Graham looked good in the games he's played, Cripps is seemingly getting better with each season and both of these guys are still young with room for improvement. On the other hand Matt Rosa and Joel Patfull have both had quite poor years and are getting older so long term I don't think there's any doubt that we win this trade.
Bangkok give: NAT #27
Taiwan give: Ryan Lester
Ryan Lester has played just 9 games this year despite an Lions side ravaged by injury and his output has dropped from the previous year. This has, in part, been due to a injury but at this point you'd think that this trade is looking like it could also be a win for the Dolphins. With Nat Pick 27 we picked up Tom Lamb who got early games after impressing in pre-season and has now come back and hit form again in the WAFL after injury. Lamb looks like he's a handy prospect and while I'll call this one a draw for now I think in another season or two I might be pretty pleased with this trade.
Bangladesh gives: NAT #32 + Ben Griffiths
Taiwan gives: NAT #50 + Cameron Sutcliffe
Hard trade to judge at this point. Cam Sutcliffe hasn't really kicked on this season and his average has dipped despite him having played most games. Ben Griffiths has meanwhile been around the same mark as he was last year though seems to have elevated himself above Vickery as JROO's support forward before his injury. In terms of the players in this deal it's been about a draw so far. Both sides traded on the picks in this deal so I'll call this one a flat-out draw at this point. No idea who'll win it in the future either.
Papua New Guinea gives: NAT #53 + Brandon Jack
Taiwan gives: NAT #31 + Scott McMahon
Up until recently this trade was looking like it might be weighted in the Headhunters favour due to them getting Pick 31 for Pick 53. Scott McMahon has hardly played and looks like to be cut at the end of the year while Jack played just one game in the first half of the year. However, Brandon Jack has played the last four weeks for the Swans so that might be turning around a bit. Also when you look at who was drafted with what pick it makes things more even in our favour and in fact I think we will probably come out ahead. Pick 31 was Alec Waterman while Pick 53 was Jackson Nelson. Waterman is yet to play while Nelson played nine of the first 10 games for the Eagles and is probably a bit further along in his development.
Taiwan gives: Cam Ellis-Yolmen + Nat 32
Bangkok give: Nat 26
This trade is a clear loss for us. When you factor in the picks it turns out as Cam Ellis-Yolmen + Jarrod Garlett for Brayden Maynard. While I am a big fan of Maynard and rate him ahead of Garlett, Ellis-Yolmen's development this season means the Crabs easily win this trade. I wasn't aware Ellis-Yolmen was going to get games and trading him was perhaps an oversight on my part. However, you can't win them all - well done to Bangkok for identifying his potential.
Kathmandu gives: Jeremy McGovern + Mitch Honeychurch
Kathmandu receives: Eddie Betts + Jackson Trengove + ROOK #31 + NAT #66
Taiwan gives: Eddie Betts + NAT #66
Taiwan receives: Mitch Honeychurch + NAT #38
Kuala Lumpur gives: Jackson Trengove + NAT #38 + ROOK #31
Kuala Lumpur receives: Jeremy McGovern
*Note - I think it is Jackson Trengrove. I can't find anything confirming this though.In the short term I think this trade is a loss for us. Eddie Betts was very good for the Crows in the first half of the year. However, long term Mitch Honeychurch is still a decent prospect and could turn this deal around. With Pick 38 we got Jayden Foster while with Pick 66 the Eskimos got James Rose. Both players haven't played yet so that part of the deal is a draw. Calling it a slight loss but, with the potential for us to come out on top.
So overall a fairly successful trade period for the club and I think having a stack of picks in last year's national draft was a big win for us as it looks to have been one of the best in years.
We managed to get Isaac Heeney, Jayden Laverde, Jack Steele, Connor Blakely, Brayden Maynard, Tom Lamb, Jayden Foster and Jackson Nelson out of the draft. All bar two have seen game time this season and the guys who have played have looked decent.
and I said we overpaid for Harley. Hopefully the partying is behind him, but I doubt it lol
Nice writeup Memph, you've traded well
All that really matters is the Llamas stole the Lever in the Draft 8) thanks again!
Yeah it's Port's Jackson Trengove. He started about once for us and is eh depth. Betts was the real winning ticket though!

In a SC league I think he'd have been a real steal but, I'm not as sure with this scoring.
Looking back at the draft and the players who went I think I'd have taken Lever perhaps over Ellis (7) Pickett (9), Durdin (13) and Langford (17) perhaps but, the other guys who went before him were justified.
If we did it again I don't think I would have picked him over Heeney, Laverde, Steele or Blakely which were my four picks before him.

Well we were eying Blakely but you nabbed him right before us but, Lever fell into our lap!
Defenders have been a strong suit for us and Lever will piss off a lot of rival Coaches 8) 10 marks the other week ..........
But getting Brayshaw, Duggan and Lever with the first three picks and I reckon we are winning ;)
But yeah, it's not just our monster forward line that will turn heads 8) Backline coming together with the Shag and Thurlow getting games!

Yeah you certainly did well in the draft as well. It seems to be something of a strong point for you, as I think it is for me too.
The Llamas team will improve every year from here most likely and I look forward to when we are also good and have a strong rivalry :P

Look forward to it ;) yeah drafting is our strong suit trading definitely our weakness but we are confident in who we have drafted now over three years
Big improvers the Llamas and unlucky people might say that we aren't playing finals! LOOK OUT NEXT YEAR 8)
Tibet could be trading some depth players like talented defenders Gwilt, Otten, Luke Brown, Ramsey
All we really want in a trade this year is one good midfielder, all picks on the table but our first four forwards (Cameron, Wingard, Lynch, Smith) are not, possibly match some mids together like Trengove, Hill, Douglas ect to get one star mid :)
really cant see us trading for anything else

Who owns Matthew Lobbe and what will it take to get a fringe player at a bottom 10 club who has terrible scoring output?
If you're after spuds I'll give you the Bellchambers/McKernan combo.
I have Ryder, Redden and Frampton just want to finish it off :)

Hey lads,
I was thinking that next year for my own benefit and for others who are interested I'd run an Ultimate Footy league using the Sportsbet scoring system.
Mainly so I have easy access to player statistics from my team (and others for looking at trading in the offseason).
Is anyone else keen on joining a league like this?
It doesn't necessarily need to be a league where everyone picks their own players from the AXV (though it could be if we wanted to). We can get the stats we need from the player database once the league is set up with the scoring system.
So we could all have a bit of friendly competition in another league alongside the AXVs.
Let me know if you're keen :D

Taiwan don't eat with chopsticks :P
Been waiting for this kid to show his immense talent on the big stage. To be honest I thought he wouldn't play this year but...
Ethan motherflowering Hughes everybody... with a lovely 22 possies and 93DT on debut
Seems good old Trade#29 last year was pretty handy for the Lambs.. I guess the complaints were justified after all. ::)
Using DT averages(not including this weeks round)
Montagna - 108avg (16 games)
Stanton - 105avg (21)
Bartel - 87avg (10)
R.Murphy - 79avg (20)
Schultz - 67avg (19)
FOR
Colyer -70avg (11 games)
Dunn - 65avg (21)
Balantyne - 55avg (13)
A.Young - 45avg (11)
Broughton - 41avg (4) , just retired.
#10(Pickett) - Yet to play
#42(Liam Dawson) - 46avg (9 games)
How the f did that pass was I coaching at that time?
I wish i could find my offer that was laughed away by nrich. It did contain Crisp i remember that . much
Ok, the trade didn't turn out to well after this year. And I may not win overall, but;
Colyer will be a gun, he's had an injury effected year
Dunns been serviceable
I flowered up badly with Broughton
Same goes for Young
Pickett and Dawson will both come good, just watch.
Bartel and Murphy will retire after next year. Montagna and Schulz the year after. I don't think it's as bad as you're making it out to be though. If you cant look another year into the future, when pretty much all the players I traded have retired and Dawson and Pickett are getting regular game time and Colyer becoming half decent, you should look again.
EDIT: Sorry man, had to delete some of this.
I think we can all agree it doesn't look great at this point in time, especially when the older boys improve instead of dropping away. But those oldies won't be around much longer and the kids like Pickett have bucketloads of talent. Sometimes you have to take a loss in a rebuild initially to get some decent kids.
nrich i wouldn't take it too much to heart mate. We all make trades we regret later and sometimes cop shower for it :)
How's the scores from the Cats boys this weekend :o
Mackie 189
Jelwood 186

Too easy.
Just thought I would post this here......
Rocky's scores for the past 4 weeks - 190, 183, 209, 189 8)
Hopefully he can play a full season next year and push the Head Hunter's up the ladder!
Let's make sure we keep things nice and friendly this trade period. I understand discussions can get a little heated at times, and I like to see a bit of banter thrown around, but we don't need to resort to personal attacks on others. I'm not saying this has happened here, but I don't want to see scenes repeated like last year's trade period. I don't want to have to say anymore on this matter.
As for trading, it will get underway after we have done our voting on any potential rule changes. It looks like some equalization method will be voted on, and this kind of thing is important to have decided before any trades are processed.
I plan to leave the trade discussion thread open until the end of the week, so coaches can discuss anymore things they would like. Then we will move onto trading after all coaches have voted.
Also, I am in the process of finishing our score updates for the week right now, so we will have the final results for our Grand Final shortly!
We are waiting on 2 more coaches to put in their votes, and then the trade period can open.
Noz and JBsHawks are the 2 left to put in their votes, I'll also send them a pm reminder.
BIG NEWS:
If anyone wants to take a punt on Lachie Keefe send me a message. Willing to trade him for a late draft pick.
Also Lance Franklin is on the way out. At the moment he's going for a 25yo 110 Fwd/mid and a lateish first round pick. Last chance to match the deal 8)

I would be signing that deal pretty quick....
Only Noz left to vote on rules now, and then we can get started with trades.
Also, JROO has sadly decided to leave the competition after he will no longer have the time commitments to be an active part of the AXV.
I'd like to thank him for his time as head coach of the UAE Tigers, and say congratulations on what was quite a successful season for the Tigers, whoever replaces him will have a good list in their hands.
Applications for a new head coach will be open until Sunday night, so if there are any assistants or other FF members out there interested in getting a team of their own, the thread can be found here:
http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,104938.0.html (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,104938.0.html)
Thanks BB! AXVS has been great, but wasn't going to have the time to run 2 XV teams next season so thought it was best to get a new coach in as soon as possible. :) Thanks guys!
oh wow sorry to see you go mate
After promising it for weeks, here it finally is.
Here is the full season scores document for every player in the competition. It has scores from every round, along with games played and player averages. Hopefully it should make trading and figuring out just what your players are worth a little easier.
Just note that games where players have scored a 0 after being subbed out early have not been counted as having played a game in the excel document, just due to the way that it has calculated the scores.

#1 - Sub RuleA) No sub rule (Current Setting)[/i]
B) If a player is subbed off before half time OR spends less than 40% of game time on the ground, then substitution from emergency players is allowed. (like regular emergency rules). Note - This would only apply if emergencies had a higher score than the subbed player.
C) If a player is subbed off before half time OR spends less than 40% of game time on the ground, then substitution from ONE player nominated as the substitute when naming team sheets is allowed. Note - This would only apply if nominated substitute had a higher score than the subbed player.

D) Teams finishing with 4 wins or fewer (16 premiership points or fewer) in a single season, will receive an additional draft pick following the first round of the national draft. If this occurs two seasons in a row, a team will achieve an additional draft pick prior to the first round of the national draft.E) Teams finishing with 4 wins or fewer (16 premiership points or fewer) in a single season, will receive an additional draft pick following the first round of the national draft AND one prior to the first round of the national draft.
#4 - Points CapA) No points cap to be introduced (Current Setting)[/i]
B) Points cap to be introduced - would require calculations from team scores, which would be calculated later.
#5 - Grand Final in Round 22/23A) Play the AXV Grand Final in AFL Round 23
(Current Setting)B) Play the AXV Grand Final in AFL Round 22 - Reducing the H&A season by 1 game#6 - Free Agency SystemA) No Free Agency System (Current Setting)[/i]

#7 - Trade Approvals ProcessA) Trades approved/blocked after discussions between both competition administrators.
(Current Setting)B) All Trades will go to a vote for all AXV coaches to be approved/blocked

Only these players can be named as captain or vice-captain. Players can be temporarily elevated to this group in the case of injury to one or more of the original 5.
That also means that we can open our trade window! I will set up the appropriate threads now and then everything will be open for trading.
Really disappointed with 8 staying as it is, C or D. Would've liked 9 to change as well but that isn't a major one, perhaps wait and see if it works in Worlds then we can look into it again for 2017.
Seems like we have a bunch of stubborn coaches that can't be bothered with change :(

We have our results in for the new coach of the UAE Tigers, and I am proud to announce that our new coach is:
Nas
Everyone, please give him a big welcome to the competition, I am sure he will be a great asset to it.
For the unsuccessful applicants, bad luck! We had a close vote in the end and I encourage you all to apply again in the future for coaching positions, and remain active around the AXV Board, we love having input from as many FF members as possible.
Ok, thanks for everyone who has voted for me, appreciated! The unsuccessful applicants as stated, never give up & keep trying to get a position.
I hope that I can fulfill JRoo boots & maybe take that next step & make the GF & come out successful.
I know that I need a hand as later in the year travel to the USA, so with saying that I'm going to Pm young Ryan, (fanTCfool) if 1 he would like to help me out so that next time he also has an advantage in apply for a team as Head Coach.
Thanks again for the gig.

Sure, I'll copy it over and unlock the draft thread so we can get a bit of discussion going.
Remember that the Official Trade Thread will have the most up to date draft order while the trade period is still open though.
Hi everyone, an important AXV announcement here.
Many of you will have noticed that Noz has been quite inactive over the last few months, missing several team sheets throughout the season, and not being active in making any trades in the trade period just gone. This absence culminated in missing the list lodgement deadline, with no valid reason being given for why, and no contact from him in some time.
I understand that he most likely has a lot going on in life at the moment/may not have the best internet access, which could explain his recent absence from the AXV Competition, and I definitely understand that other things must take priority over a fantasy football game.
However, after a lengthy discussion between Ric and myself, we feel this absence has been too great, and is hurting both the Turkish Gazelles and the equality of the AXV Competition.
It is a requirement that we have a competition of 16 active coaches to make the work that others put in worthwhile, and for this reason, we have decided to remove Noz from his position as head coach of the Turkish Gazelles, and we will be looking for a new coach to take over as his replacement. A thread will be going up shortly for others to nominate, and will be open for a period of a couple of days before we have a vote.
This is not a decision we took lightly, or wanted to take, but missing several team sheets throughout the season, not being active at all throughout the trade period, missing the list lodgement deadline, not being online for almost 2 weeks now and not posting at all on the forums in 2 months was enough for us to feel that we require someone new to take over.
Hopefully Noz can find himself back online regularly in due time and rejoin the AXV Competition, I know we'd love to have him back, and I have appreciated his contributions as coach of the Gazelles over your several years in the competition.
We also had Memph miss the list lodgement deadline, however he has had major difficulties getting internet access in recent times due to changes in his life, and missed the deadline by just over a day.
The rules do state that this would see both the Gazelles and Dolphins lose their draft picks. However, on reviewing this rule I find it to be quite harsh for both teams. In the case of Memph, he did intend to make his list lodgement and his circumstances in life dictated he could not. As for the Gazelles, I feel it would be unfair to penalise a new coach so harshly by removing them from the draft when they have just taken over control of a new club.
This is an unprecedented situation, as we have not had a team miss a list lodgement deadline before, so this penalty has never come into effect in the past.
I propose that this penalty not be imposed at this time, and that the Dolphins can delist and draft as normal, as well as the Gazelles once a new coach is found. I do understand that this is changing our rules, which I am normally staunchly against, however in this unprecedented situation, I feel the penalty is simply too great and disadvantages these teams unfairly. However, I welcome the feedback of other coaches into this matter over the coming days as we find a new coach for the Gazelles to see if this is seen as fair across the board. If we have multiple teams objecting, I am happy to send it to a vote to see what course of action should be taken.
As the Gazelles have pick 6 in the national draft, this means that our draft will likely be delayed a couple of days. This is not ideal, but I feel it is only fair to have a new coach in the competition to draft for the Gazelles.
I welcome any discussion over this matter, but as always, please keep it civilized and polite. I realise this is quite an extreme circumstance for the competition to experience, and I would like to see it resolved in a way that benefits the competition as a whole.
Thanks everyone
I think this is terribly unfortunate, but the admins have handled it well and made the correct decision I believe. I look forward to see who the new coach is and welcoming them to the comp.

Sorry but shouldn't Noz have a chance to advise about his absence first? Would hate to see someone sent packing who had a serious personal issue that may have restricted his time and/or ability to be online.

Sorry but shouldn't Noz have a chance to advise about his absence first? Would hate to see someone sent packing who had a serious personal issue that may have restricted his time and/or ability to be online.
Ideally it would be great if he could, but he hasn't been online in over 2 weeks and hasn't posted in 2 months. He has been sent multiple pms in that time advising him of the lodgement dates and all, but has not been in any contact to explain his absence to Ric or myself. Personally, I haven't received any contact from him since 2 months ago when he voted on our rules changes.
It became a question of how long can we wait for a coach to justify their absence. I do hope that nothing serious has gone on in Noz's life, and if it has, then I completely understand, and there are more important things in life than fantasy football. However, for the good of the competition, and especially the critical stage of the off-season that we are in now, we felt it best that we had a new coach come into the competition who can be active and keep the Gazelles as a competitive team, and not be disadvantaged in the future by not being able to take part in drafting.

The problem with that is that Noz may never advise of his absence. Line has to be drawn in the sand at some stage.
Easy way to avoid this problem, all Clubs should have an assistant.

It became a question of how long can we wait for a coach to justify their absence. I do hope that nothing serious has gone on in Noz's life, and if it has, then I completely understand, and there are more important things in life than fantasy football. However, for the good of the competition, and especially the critical stage of the off-season that we are in now, we felt it best that we had a new coach come into the competition who can be active and keep the Gazelles as a competitive team, and not be disadvantaged in the future by not being able to take part in drafting.
Drafts can wait a few more days. That is not an issue. I would like to think a message to Monty or someone who might be able to track down an email etc should be done. This is a decision that has been made too quickly sorry. What happens if Noz has been hospitalised or had family issues etc.
I dont like it as I know I have been in certain personal situations where XV comps were the last thing on my mind. I just think this could have waited until tomorrow at the very least to see if the AFL draft tonight means Noz is back online and he can at least have a chance to explain his absence.

Sorry but shouldn't Noz have a chance to advise about his absence first? Would hate to see someone sent packing who had a serious personal issue that may have restricted his time and/or ability to be online.
The problem with that is that Noz may never advise of his absence. Line has to be drawn in the sand at some stage.
Easy way to avoid this problem, all Clubs should have an assistant.

Or another way of the comp being advised of any absences. I'm too much of a bossy person to get any assistant, but if anything was to happen to me I have a few contacts (namely Jayman) that will be able to advise of my unexplained absence.
Just make him and new coach co-coaches if he had a legitimate reason?

Ideally it would be great if he could, but he hasn't been online in over 2 weeks and hasn't posted in 2 months. He has been sent multiple pms in that time advising him of the lodgement dates and all, but has not been in any contact to explain his absence to Ric or myself. Personally, I haven't received any contact from him since 2 months ago when he voted on our rules changes.

A large part of our thinking in this decision was that Noz has been inactive for quite a time now. I don't mean to sound harsh in case something has occurred in his life, but he has been online on several occasions since last posting 2 months ago, but has not made a post or made a pm to explain his absence, and if he was having difficulties, he could have explained why.
I do hope that we hear from him sometime soon, and we can work things out and get him back involved with the competition in some form. Perhaps he can rejoin the Gazelles as a co-coach in the future, or join in with another club.

??? I don't understand this.
Just because you're not okay with it doesn't mean Noz wouldn't be. From what I know of Noz, he's a pretty relaxed and chilled out guy who likes being a coach here. Obviously something has prevented him being active, but at least he wouldn't completely lose his team if were to return, which there is no guarantee that he will. I'm sure he'd have no problem being the co-coach or assistant at the Gazelles if and/or when he returns.
Fully support the decision.

It is a pride thing but all good.
I have voiced my concerns which is all that I need to do. If the majority see it the other way then so be it.
Would anyone want to take on the Gazelles if they have to be rivals with Tibet? ???
Or will the Crabs and Llamas finally be able to officially start there four year rivalry? ;)
I know for a fact the Llamas are too scared to rival the Elephants!

So. I lose Colyer and Belly who are both pretty important for me really. How should we do this?
I'd be in favor of a draft with top up players and other left overs who join the list for a season. Probably the best way.

This from British XV'sOfficially delist the player affected for the season and do a mini draft based on the players worth
Then at seasons end the players picked in the mini draft are delisted back into the player pool and each team gets their original player back so lists all remain the same size.
Also a valid point with lists so some teams may have more than 40 players on their list but at end of season will have to bring list back to 40.
So we might move the Essendon dilemma discussion over to this thread.
We have a few options we could take, and it is worth taking a bit of time to mull them over and see what the best course to take is.
We can look at doing what the WXV is doing, and do a top up player draft, with order to be decided on based on player averages/club need.
We could also do away with a draft and allow for extra list movements for affected clubs (though this might not be needed as most clubs have list movements remaining this period), or allow clubs to upgrade rookies to replace suspended players.
The other option is no compensation at all, and to say tough luck.
I'm interested as to all of our coaches' thoughts on this, and if anyone else has another option they'd like to raise, please do so.

Yeah at this point we're considering extra movements for those impacted by this, then make a decision after the end of the 2nd trade period. Likely either a mini draft or just cop it.

Understand, the above at the time of posting was one of the first up. Just a start for the saga that is ongoing.
For information this is the final British resolution:
know we have some different rules so can adapt:
Following Essendon Suspensions for this trade period only:
1) Clubs effected will be allowed additional free movements as detailed below. Note both clubs involved in trade will receive the free movement.
2) Reversible trading will be allowed. That is a trade will reverse at end of season. Eg Swansea trade Witts for Ryder. At end of 2016 season Ryder returns to Blackpool and Witts returns to Swansea.
3) When assessing trades main factor to be taken into consideration will be the team structures and competition benefit. All trades including reversible trades still to be approved by administrator.
4) If there is evidence of colluding or tanking in these special conditions penalties may be enforced by admin. This could involve forfeiture of draft picks.
Teams will be reviewed at end of trade period to decide whether we go ahead with a mini draft taking into consideration trades completed. So basically we are trying to encourage coaches to trade to rectify their situation in this trade period,

I don't see why a suspended player has to be involved.
E.g. I give someone who lost a defender Nick Smith, as I have plenty of defenders, and they give me a forward or mid in return. Then end of season we reverse.
To me it's basically a coach with plenty of depth on one line making a fair trade to help another coach out with the suspensions. Trade still has to be fair though and relevant to suspensions.
I don't see myself making any reversible trades though tbh

This will hurt after 2days decision. :(
Given this just happened, what in the case he actually retires? ???
Shouldn't have traded for a player that was close to retire?
If AXVs have players missing we get to upgrade a player from the rookie list, like the teams get to do. If they have 3 or more players suspended for the year then they can go get top up players. Why should we be reversing trades and what else when we can just make a very simple and non complicated decision.
Shouldn't go reversing trades, but we may as well use the top up players.

Pretty sure Nostra questioned this trade at the time. Always a massive risk trading in a 31 year old for 2 young guns especially after what had happened last year and what was hanging over his head. It is what it is now.
Well done to the Gazelles for getting the maximum in the trade.

Yep you sure did. 2 highly touted first round draftees for a 31 year old guy who had lost interest in footy less than 12 months ago.
I would definitely sue but might need to start at the Llama's coaching staff! :o
It was common knowledge that the Bombers were being investigated so it's your own loss.
why won't you just go away Crowley >:(
An AXV important message here.
Firstly, as far as the Essendon situation goes, we are planning to do a top up draft, with AXV clubs to have the option to either draft a top up player, or choose to upgrade one of their rookie listed players for the season. This would see all clubs able to compensate for the 17 suspended players. However, we are in a bit of a wait and see period as to how quick the top up players are signed by Essendon. If it is not until mid-March that they are all signed, it could be problematic in getting AXV lists finalised.
Also, I have to announce that I intend to step down as AXV administrator. It's been great to run the competition for the last couple of seasons, but unfortunately in the coming year I will not have the time to commit to running the competition on a weekly basis, and making it the best it can be. I do intend to remain as coach of the Manila Folders. Ricochet my assistant admin does a great job, but he too lacks the time to run the competition on his own.
So, we are asking the AXV community if there are any coaches out there interested in taking over the primary administrator position of the competition. It is quite an involved position, but it is great fun, and a way to get even further involved in fantasy football. We still have a couple of months to go before the season proper starts, so there is plenty of time for a new member to come into the position and get settled. I will be more than happy to help out the new coach and show them the ropes, and show them how the weekly running of the competition functions.
So if anyone is interested, please send a short application to myself and Ric as to why you believe you should gain the position of competition admin. We will leave applications open for a week, and then make a decision. Any questions or if you would like more information, just send me a message.
BB :'( Cheers for your work around the comp for the last few seasons and I hope we can find a decent replacement.
BB, only have come in on the end of 2015 season, thanks for all your help as Admin & Ric as well as all the other coaches that have.
As nrich says, hope we find a replacement that can carry on with the standard that you have set!
nas.
Forgetting to delist James Kelly has worked in my favour I guess. Picked up by the Bombers for this year.
It's been a few days and we haven't had any applicants from within the AXV to take over the admin role yet, which is understandable as it is quite an extensive role and I realise that most people would not have the time to run a competition such as this.
Because of this, Ric and myself have decided to start to advertise the position in more areas around the FF forum to see if there is any interest. We would preferably like to see a coach of the AXV come into the role as they would be more familiar with the competition and our systems, but it would be better to have someone rather than no one if no one from within the AXV is willing to put their hand up.
That being said, we still have a bit of time before we need to make a decision, so if any AXV members have been considering taking up the position to this stage, please put your name forward and we can have a discussion about what your role would be.
Also, Ric and I are currently discussing the pending trades and will have decisions up on them hopefully later today.
One suggestion I would make is to have this comp set up in Ultimate Footy. I know BXV is doing similar and has had a couple of issues. But the difference here is that the scoring stats are already available in UF for AXV. I have attached a couple of screenshots below showing this.
What this would do is minimise the time that it would take to run the comp itself. People could also get an instant look at weekly match ups etc. Drafting, trading, banter, all the comp activities can still occur here on fanfooty in this forum and then the changes made to UF to reflect what has occurred.

This looks interesting Rids. I don't know too much about UF myself. Would you be able to give a bit more info on how this system would work?
Just letting you know BB the issue in British is mainly due to UF DPP v CD DPP only 13 more in UF but causing some grief. Scoring system is non issue as we can accommodate most things and Rids is helpful with sorting through.
UF is easy - here is the url
http://ultimate-footy.theage.com.au/
They will be locking this next Monday as they are refreshing the site with the 2016 data. We just set the league up with the scoring for AXV which is easy to do. Then get everyone to jump in and manage their teams as per here eg: weekly naming of teams so UF will show the progress of games mid round. UF will also have the functionality of all players and averages. Just a simple search or filter.
All the usual stuff happens here but it takes out the spreadsheets etc. UF will also work out the ladder and %s etc.
Just makes a lot of sense is all and lightens the admin workload ten fold. When it opens next week I will set up a league for AXV and then do a walk through.

Does that include the ability to use 12 point goals? Hasn't in the past I believe
The screen shot Rids put up makes it look like they do, but that could be premium I guess :-\

Good question asked in British by kb. Would involve a couple here, yourself included Rids.
Any word yet on what we will be doing regarding the suspended players?

We're just giving it a little more time at this stage man, just to see if Essendon quickly get through the rest of the top ups. We'll reassess later in the week
Also, what's happening with the admin stuff? Do we have an update there?

Yep still in discussions with BB. We hope to give you an update soon guys
Hey AXV,
We have a big announcement here. As you will know, I have decided to step down as administrator of the AXV as I no longer have the time to commit to making it such a great competition. My co-admin Ricochet has also decided that he too will struggle to have the time commitments for the competition going into the future, so he is also stepping down from the role.
So, after holding an application process, we have decided that it would be best to continue with another co-admin team, at least in the short term, so we can have the same level of coverage and commitment to the competition that we previously had. I am pleased to announce that our two new competition administrators are:
JBs-Hawks and T Dog
Most of you will know JB as the head coach of the Australian Ales, which were quite a successful team last season. T Dog has not been a head coach within the AXV as of yet, but is well known around the FF Forum for his humour and reliability, and I am sure both coaches will excel at this new role. Please join me in giving them a warm welcome!
I'd also like to apologise for my relative inactivity over the last couple of months. I hope you all can appreciate that it has been a busy time in my life, and I feel its a good time to hand the competition over to a couple of new coaches.
Please be patient with our new admins, especially T Dog who has not had as much experience with the AXV competition. Pretty much they can be treated as the people who run this competition now, though Ric and I will retain our mod status for the time being to help out around the board where needed as they transition into their new roles.
So once again, give our two new admins a big welcome to the AXV!
Well done BB & Ric, only been here myself a short time, but job well done. Sorry to see you both step down.
Welcome to the new Admins JB & T Dog.
Congrats and good luck JB and TDog.
Thanks for all the hard work Rico and especially BB over the years. Not an easy job and your efforts make this competition what it is.
Welcome to both TDog and JB, and a big thank you to BB & Rico for making this competition a great one.
Thanks guys.
I just want to say a big thank you to BB for what you did for this comp mate. It's a real shame you are stepping down
I'm also sorry that i also have to. Our company has a couple of big contracts coming up and i won't have the time to devote to this comp that it deserves.
In saying that, congratulations to JB and TDog. AXVs is in very good hands
Thanks for all the work you have put into this comp BB and Rico. Congratulations and good luck to JB and T Dog!

Sorry to see you go boys, but it's a big job that's for sure ........well done on the great work.
Welcome aboard to both JB and Tdog.
**agree with nas about the UF site, it'd certainly cut down the workload hugely**

It sure is nas, I've let the new guys know to take a look at it, and hopefully they can work something out that will make their job a lot easier.
Thanks for the kind welcome everyone. :)

Welcome - I was worried for a minute no-one would have the time to admin the comp. I'd have loved to but have started a new job so didn't have the capacity.
Glad you and JBs can do it though.
PS - it might take you a fair while T Dog. One of the threads (this one I think actually) was in the top most commented on FanFooty...

Haven't checked lately but the AXV original draft thread was still in the top 10 posted FF threads of all time! ;)
Oz was always jealous of the banter in Asia ;D
Isn't half this thread about the Hibberd/McGovern trade though?
Whens the Essendon draft thing starting up?
This along with the setting up of a UF league to help out with scoring will be done by the end of the week

Hibberd below Hurley and Hooker hahaha!
How the 'best' defender option in the AFL has fallen since all the whinging about the McGovern trade. He is now 3rd best defender at Bombers!

He had a poor year
I assume I post my pick in the draft thread?
Beams and Jelwood in doubt for the early rounds. Could be a slow start for the Crocs again this year
Teams and Fixture should all be done on UF now, feel free to all double check your teams.
Every week we will post up a submission thread on here aswell as having you have your team updated on UF. Your team on here will be the official one though. And we will be using the positions of SC not UF so make sure no one gets caught out with that.

If we are going to the trouble of creating the league and setting up the scoring how we like, why make it hard by not using the positions as per UF as well?
I havent even looked at what might change, cant be anything massive? but surely it just makes sense.
Also I dont see the point of having to post up teams here if we are using the UF site?

It's like 13 players have an extra position. And two of them are on my team (James Kelly and Tendai Mzungu) so there's 11 for the rest of you. I think Goddard and Oxley are two that also have DPP on UF.
Mark Jamar is not on my list either, I might need him for Round 1 :-\
I know we technically shouldn't do it, but chucked in a Waiver claim for Mark Jamar as he is my player :P
Because this was a comp based on virtual sports positioning, unlike British XV. There isn't a need to change it
Tbh I don't see why it really matters, and I don't see the need to not go with the UF positions.
Happy with whatever the admin want though.
doesnt worry me at all, but the same issue is going to come up every year :P So maybe we could make a decision to use them next year or something? Because it gets pretty messy using this years (just check BXV) as teams that don't benefit don't want it and those that do, do want it (don't tell me this doesnt happen to a degree ;) ).
Head Hunters looks ok apart from Jonathan Simpkin missing (not sure if you are adding the top-ups on UF or not)
Top Ups might have been missed, feel free to claim them off waivers
http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,106263.0.html
Vacant coaching position if anyone is interested
I told you all Jason Johannisen was a jet. why nobody believe me

Q. How many starting 15 backmen have had serious knee injuries for Tibet?
A. Five
Andy Otten, Jake Lever, Matt "The Shag" Scharenberg, Jackson Thurlow and now breakout jet Jackson Ramsey
This might not seem like much but imagine if we had a full team of these gun young backmen to choose from, to go with Laird, Pittard, Lever (Playing now) and the handy depth of Gwilt, May, Lukey Brown
All of those five at their best are over the 100 AXV scoring ave, which is what we planed when drafting them! But rest assured, Tibet will still have an elite backline to contend with this year! ;)
But how flowering good is the future 8)

Howe good? ...Howe good? :o
I want to know why Tibet get to start 15 backmen every week :o
Can the ladder be fixed up?
Our round 2 score still doesn't reflect the team we posted on ff, l think we should be on 2 wins, not the current 1 win 1 loss and subsequently be alot higher on the ladder than 10th as indicated.
The UF ladder is irrelevant the AXV ladder will be posted on here once the round is done

Hey all, I am just updating the rd 2 scores :-[ . Have a look at your teams scores when I am done and let me know if anything wrong. Will then do RD 3. Check any DNP replacement scores and Capt and VC in particular. Once I have my head around it, checking will just be a voluntary action :)

Damn yes you are correct :( I have the Dongs next week ;)
Elephants have Aaron Hall as skipper, he'll probably score 500 this week so that's me done :P
Just quietly, the ladder looks pretty good at the moment ;)

I believe the following:
- highlight the whole table
- Sort and Filter
- Custom Sort
- Pick your columns to sort by
Round 4 scores done in the submission thread. Always worth checking that emergencies have been done right.

I hope James Kelly likes to ruck coz that's his job for my team for the next 7 weeks.
When you have 5 rucks on your list and none are playing....
Yep, it sucks :( Even f Jamar got named not sure I'd back him to pass 50 and Kelly is averaging 130 so far so... :P
He has been pretty good so far hey. Picked him up in an elite draft comp in the hope he gets back status. Didn't realise he was averaging 100 there
Ha, jokes on you, I have Keegan Brooksby playing :P
Big question is do I rookie upgrade him (coz I have a spot free to do so) or just play an OOP player...
Eh, up against the Dongs this week it shouldn't matter too much ;)
You have the Elephants this week ;)
Oops! :-X
Is the joke no longer on me again coz I won? ;D
NOW I am playing the Dongs ;)
Dongers gonna getcha PB. Look out, we're not even started yet 8)
Really happy with the 3-1 start by the Llamas! Had a number of players missing games too which is pleasing for our depth!

You need to follow AFL procedure and name the player on an AFL teams LTI list, upgrade your rookie for your player with the LTI :)
Which I will do if Darcy Macpherson plays again!
BTW, LLamas could lose their fifth starting defender of the season should Lairdy not come up from "Leather poisoning" :-\

I've targeted backline depth since first drafting four years ago yet,
LLamas missing this week in defence: Laird, M Talia, the Shag, Thurlow, Ramsey, Otten (Unless picked by Crows)
Still will have a good backline this week (BTW considered picking Weitering over Kennedy but needed the MID): Gwilt, L Brown, Lever, Pittard. Still pretty good 8)
I knew I should've tried harder to get Pittard off you in the 2014/15 off season. Gun gun gun gun

Yeah got him as a leveller deal, forget which one :P Also scored my Glenelg Neale after trying to get him all pre-season, got offered him for Crozier as part of a three way cos they needed a forward :o Llamas have had a few wins :P
Mind you, I might not have traded Pittard back out ;)
Good news though is Vice Captain Jack Trengove "Trenners" Could make his return to the Llamas after starring in Reserves since his comeback!! Will help given our depleted back and forward lines with Dev Smith and possibly (On good source) Wingard out this week again!
Although having seven good midfielders doesn't overly help :-\
Cant find where to post for Rookie elevation so
Tibet upgrade from rookie list
Darcy Macpherson (M) for Jackson Ramsey - LTI knee

I'd like to make a point, for Levi. Levi Casboult will be part of the 2016 Llama Premiership ;) Unsure though yet how he pushes out a few players if fit but. Llamas are down to bones in defence and forwards but that depth we have will prove itself yet again!

When naming teams why do you all leave the "Player -" and the "(position)" bit there? :P It's just there to show you that's where the player names go, you don't post the players after the "Player -" bit :P

Presumably because everyone just copies the template from the OOP and fills in the names next to it rather than typing the whole things up ourselves or backspacing.
That's what I do anyway.
and backspacing adds at least 5 seconds in total. flower that

I just did it once and copy the previous weeks team though, then make changes. Surely that saves more time than those that copy the template then type all their players in? ;)

As it is written the "Player - " implies typing your player name afterwards if it simply said "Player" I can see your point.
Obviously you and Adamant are doing it wrong. The rest of us are right!! :P

Injuries starting to test the Lambs with our #1 Ruck Kurt Tippett going down.
Along with Kurt, we now have:
- Steve Johnson
- Marc Murphy
- Bachar Houli
- Bob Murphy
on the injury list, all of which would be starters.
I'm only missing Sandi, Ryder, Howlett, Wright which probably only costs me about 100 points a week. But James Kelly not being a defender costs me another 50 each week which is bs that he isn't one >:(

Maybe concentrate on making it a fairer competition rather than trying to embarrass me. But you wont because your team is good, you wont put a cap on top end teams. However you can find a way to cheat hey? Must be a Hawthorn supporter :o

Clearly you were confident and sure why not, your team is good. But so is mine!
So to actually make that loser Captain proves how good you think you are (Fact it was against the Bombers proves you cheated) But. That raises another point. If a team can afford to Captain a key forward over any mid, maybe that team is at it's prime!
So who or what is there to stop this or these teams from gaining further ground on those struggling teams .....
Without a cap on top end, who could ever hope to defeat such a strong and mighty team ?
I am not having a crack at those top teams but, will those at the top be able to keep getting better and better and better and better and better and better ............. until someone like me says, when is enough, too good for anyone else ever to compete with?
Just shut up and stop being a sore loser and change your DP

Smith, Collins, Dea, Ruggles etc. all back into the pool, add Cowan, Byrne, McCarthy, Palmer etc. and the front end of the rookie draft looks actually quite reasonable. Pick 2 will be a hard one.
Looks like there's some great rookie talent up for grabs!
Is it possible to also have the draft threads posted up with the available players in the rookie pool so we can get a better feel on what picks are worth?

Its tomorrow afternoon. ;) I think this should be correct, obviously some of these guys have retired or been delisted, so I will edit it as I go, will also add in other clubs delistings.

Nice work Koop. A couple of decent picks in there
Shouldn't looking at Available Players in the Ultimate Footy Players section show who is and who isnt on a list currently?

Yes, but it gave me something to do for people who wanted it here. Admins can use it too if they like.

Additionally, considering the forum is still the base for the comp and all our users pretty much frequent this site more than UF, it definitely helps to have an up to date version in an easy to access part of this board.

Yes & no. The added players / top ups have not been removed from the corresponding teams as yet.
Screenshots and then post here ;)
All good though. I would suggest that the top up players need to be updated prior to UF being taken down for their yearly update. Still a few weeks away but have found it very helpful to have screenshots etc of all teams and players just in case.
Great work Koop!

I like the trade too, should make us more competitive and if Stef can get back to his best :-*
Kinda wish I had a first round rookie though, some good names in that list.

Need to ask what is going on with this comp. There has been nothing happen in regards to moderation or processing of trades since the 24th September.
A few of us have put our hands up to help out if needed but there has been no communication at all from the admins in regards to being time poor or if they need help etc. This is going to sound harsh but so be it. If the admins dont have the time to fulfil their responsibilities then I think they need to step aside and hand it over to others who can.
For AXV to survive and thrive changes need to be made. Sorry guys, nothing personal at all but there really needs to be change here.

I sent a PM to both admins offering to help with this as well as asking re "trade situation" & have received no reply to date. Even explained that even being in the USA I still get on & time difference always reply. Time factor becomes a slight issue, but hey, better late than never. :-X

Hopefully it all goes okay and we get a game on! You'll need to bring them some luck to turn our form around!
Yea the problem is I havent been able to discuss the trades with TDog in the last couple of weeks because I believe he is completely swamped at work. But I am looking at a solution, possibly bringing in a third admin.

At this stage with TD being swamped, should be a good thing for the AXV,s.

This doesn't go close to addressing the concerns raised adequately. It seems too little too late.
Where has the communication been, the Comp has been stagnating and basically rudderless, people have been commenting, coaches have offered help, yet nothing.........not even the courtesy of a reply.
There are people ready to step up now and give this comp the attention it deserves.
Hey guys, just to let you all know, I'll be stepping in and helping JB with admin duties and trade approvals for now, as T Dog has some other things going on in his life, and doesn't have the time to help out right now.
Over the next few days we will look at deciding on all outstanding trades and updating everything that needs to be done. If there are any queries or other tasks you believe should be completed by us, please just post or send us a pm :)

I havent updated with other teams delistings yet outside of the top-up picks, that will come a bit later.
Just to let you all know, I'm also in the process of cross-referencing lists to confirm who is available in the rookie draft. I should have it all posted up in a new draft thread by the end of the week :)
Okay everyone, the draft thread is up, it will remain locked until we get closer to draft date. Any draft-related discussions can take place in other threads for now.
I've put up the full list of players draftable in the Pre-Season/Rookie draft. Lin Jong and Josh Cowan are in there as they are two players that I lose track of and cannot find on any lists, so back in the pool they go. I've also added recently signed AFL Category B Rookies Michael Korcheck, Corey Maynard and Matthew Eagles to that list if anyone is interested in drafting them.
If you see any mistakes there at all, please let me know!
I've also put in team lists sorted by number of players, rather than position underneath the listing of approved trades. This should help teams see how many senior/rookie players they have quite easily so they can plan for drafting/de-listings to get the required 40 senior players and 6 rookies by the end of the drafting period.
Another to add BB:

Ciaran Byrnes as well?
Added Smith and O'Connor. Byrne is already on the Vipers' list.
Great work BB!
Just an FYI - Ultimate Footy has recently been sold to The Age (the founder will no longer be associated). I would suggest to try and get the lists right there before they go down for a data refresh (not sure when this will occur but might happen with little warning) and then screenshots captured of the team lists just in case there are any issues with the 2017 season data.

Pretty sure The Age bought some of it a while back. Not totally across the whole story tbh. The Age own it all now. The founder (and dev) is no longer involved with UF so means total changes will occur for 2017 moving forward.

Haha yep was talking to Ele about it earlier. Would definitely love Gibbs now!
With the following would the AXV's follow & remove the Rookie Lists, or maybe consider doing it before? Know that has been discussed before in rule changes as well.
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/afl-rookies-could-be-eligible-to-play-from-round-1-expanded-lists-as-soon-as-2018/news-story/4b9f814f27debec43c03fcf969477483
Once the AFL remove them, there's no real point us keeping them I wouldn't have thought.
Might be a bit late to consider removing them in AXVs for next season though as people have traded based on rookie elevations and the draft is not far away now.
Definitely something to look at for next off-season, too late to do anything about rookie lists now unfortunately.

Think that the main concern would be that at least every team has their retirements & delistings up to date 2night prior to the draft.

Those are the players I can see who have delisted by an AXV list still on an AFL list that will be available in the rookie draft. :) Please let me know if I'm missing anyone, just trying to help out BB.
Got two things to bring to attention.
1. Noticed that one of the trades submitted for Hammelmann for R25. I'm the owner of R25, I didn't make the trade. I believe the trade should have involved R23 (the Gazelles' pick, their trade with the Llamas). This needs to be amended.
2. With the suspension of Lachie Whitfield, do I just have to cop the penalty and go in to the season a player short?
I know admin activity around here is little to non-existent, but if anyone can answer/respond to the above, that'd be appreciated.

shower sorry, to be fair when i did the trade the rookie draft wasn't up so i was kinda guessing...
also, isn't whitefield only suspending for 6 months? surly you'd rather him second half of the season?

Would / Could that be a rookie promotion for the duration of the suspension? I have M Wallis & will be upgrading but that is in the books though as a LTI.
Yeh Whitfield should go down as an LTI basically. Similar to JThomas for us last season
Yeah, fair call that. Hopefully I'll be able to just elevate a rookie. Would be good if that's the case. Cheers lads.
Yea Whitfield will just be considered an LTI

Cheers for the PM reminder send out Nas.
All list lodgements are to be in the retirements/de-listings thread, please try to get them in by midnight tonight.
JB and I will shortly discuss all outstanding trades, and have confirmation for them.
And I'd agree with Whitfield, he just goes down as an LTI while suspended.
And cheers for that list Koop, always great to have some extra help around the forum.

Can I ask why the flower we now have 7 AXV admins? No process, no discussion no nothing??? No wonder its viewed as the joke if the XVs if thats how its going to operate. Such a shame. Just mod the entire comp. Or better yet, demod those who dont give a shower. We saw how Ringo and Dave turned around Brits. This is not the way to go to do that.
Would like to address this post that is in the Coaches section. Breaking down into sections, 1st off 7 Admins. Colli has not been on since 21/3, T Dog regretfully has not been on since 2/10, & no one knows as to why. Ric wanted to step away last year & hence, that did result with JB taking on the duties as well with TD. BB has also stated that due to commitments & with the others absent, stepped up to assist, noting that would be stepping aside after helping with the 1st trading, & the 2 draft periods. With this then, there will be 3 active Mods, who are online most of the time. Discussion / Process / There has been in the past complaints re trades not being done, awaiting conformation, when will pages be put up, etc. People did say that if needed would be willing to assist & help. Those that did offer were contacted & asked if they could & would they become mods on completion of above. Again with constant Mods being onboard these should / will be addressed. As for turning the site around as you say a joke / viewed as a joke, we have all seen in the past with a couple of sites "British & also DT Americas XV111 turned around." As the other Comps on the site, have Mods that do a great job with their comps also.
Really can't talk for other Mods, but if you feel that this has been approached wrongly, well I for one can stand aside to bring the 7 down a notch to 6.
Also, there aren't 7 Admins. There are 7 mods. JB and BB are Admin at the moment. With a process of handover in the pipeline to bring Rids and Nas in.
If it really bothers you that much Koop. HP will need to remove guys like Colli and TDog. You can remove me too if you really want. But even though I'm not Admin anymore I was more than willing to help out cleaning up boards, etc if needed.
I think the point I was trying to make was lost a bit. I’ll explain it better in the morning but the last thing I want is for you to step down, either of you.
Hi all,
Just wanted to clear up the admin situation for AXV. Unfortunately T Dog has gone missing after his great season of running the comp alongside JB this year. Ric and myself both don't have the time to do full admin duties in the next year, and Rids and nas have both kindly stepped up to say they would be happy to come in as part of a 3 way admin team with JB, Rids and nas.
While that is a large team to run the comp, we felt the more people we can have to help out at this stage, the better, and we can add more features to enhance the competition. If this current situation doesn't work out, then we can always change things in the future and reduce our admin numbers.
I apologise that this dialogue wasn't held more openly in the AXV board with more discussion from coaches, but I do feel this is the best way forward for the competition. If anyone has any issues, I'm happy to discuss them with you.
Going forward, I plan to finish off my work with the AXV Rookie Drafts, and then hand things over to our new admin team in preparation for the 2017 season.
Cheers
Just an update re the following page, Adamant has redone all the banners to suit each teams Coaches, with Co-Coaches added & ex coaches removed. http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,89929.0.html
The updated Team Lists are yet to be done as awaiting the Rookie Draft to be completed. Once done we will get onto it & all that should be left is the 2nd trade period.
Happy New Year to all. Hope it was a safe and joyous occasion!
There has been some questions around the retirements of Lumumba and Shane Yarran and whether teams should get a supplementary pick from the left over players from the drafts. There are a couple of options to discuss.
a. Lumumba and Yarran are seen as LTI's and the coach can elevate a rookie to the senior list
b. teams get to make a supplementary pick from the left-over pool of players and Lumumba and Yarran get delisted. The supplementary player can go onto either list. If they are selected as a rookie then a rookie of the coaches choosing will need to be elevated.
The admin team would like to throw this up for discussion among all coaches. Also open to putting it to a vote if there is no clear consensus arise from the discussion.
Cheers all.
Not too fussed so I'd be fine with a supplementary pick from the left overs
Has this situation not happened in the past?
My two cents.. The season hasn't started yet, the Club has already been punished by losing a player.
They should be allowed a replacement from the remaining draft pool.

I had a quick look and coulnd't find anything in regards to previous seasons.
The issue can be addressed now anyways and then we can amend the rules with this as the precedent. There has been a few new coaches over the last season or 2.

It doesn't seem like it could be used as a tactic to improve a squad. If there's no precedent, just let the Club pick a replacement.
If the season had of started then the retiring player becomes a LTI.

Nostra and I are also ok with Option B.
I will give people another 24 hours or so to discuss this due to the lack of activity over the off-season and people slowly making their way back to the AXV forums.
Yeah I dont have a problem with a supp pick
Sounds like we have a consensus then. I am making the assumption that those who have not made a comment are not worried about teams receiving a supp pick if any of their players retire prior to the preseason. There is time for those who might oppose it to make a comment advising so.
I will discuss with the other admin and work out when best to have this occur.
Thanks to all.

Should there be a cut-off date? i.e. If the player retires before Rd.1 of the AFL season proper or before the NAB cup starts or before Feb 1st etc. etc.
After the cut-off date the player just become a LTI and no replacement is allowed.

Coaches.
We have just received Adamant resignation as Coach of the Bangladesh Bears. Ada being one of the competitions original coaches. Ada is prepared to stay on for the time being to fulfil any remaining duties while a new coach is found.
Would like to thank Ada for all his help with rearranging the banners (as 1 example with me) to reflect on all the new coaches this season.
We will be advertising very soon for a new coach so that they can organise their own layout team thread, participate in the 2nd draft, 2nd trade period, etc.
Cheers Ada.
Wow, huge news!
As one of the better and most successful coaches in this comp, you'll be missed Ada!
Ada really? Thats a huge loss.
Not only the most successful AXVs coach but a ripper bloke as well
Sad to hear you're going mate
In 2015(Mid Feb) Beau Waters retired. It looks like he was de-listed by the AXV Club and a replacement was taken.
Coaches have been messaged as SR is to pick when he is online next. There wont be a 24 hour rule for this as there will only be 3 selections.
Rules have now been updated as per below:
PRE-SEASON RETIREES
*If a player retires after the AXV National and AXV Rookie drafts have concluded and prior to the conclusion of the second trade period, then the coach is to delist the retired player and select a supplementary player from the left-over pool. This supplementary player is able to go on to either list as per the coaches choosing. If the supplementary player is to go on to the Rookie list and the retiree was on the senior list, then a nominated rookie will require elevation by the coach.
*If a player retires after the conclusion of the second trade period then they are to be treated as an LTI.
Thanks to all for contributing!

Cheers to those who have joined. We are still waiting on 7 more. I am hesitant to go spamming messages for the time being but will start doing so end of this week.
Just one last thing for the co-coaches. Unfortunately on UF you can only set up the team to be associated to 1 email address. So my suggestion is use the coach who is likely to be on there the most thru the season and then share the log in details if both need access. Nostra and I have done it this way ourselves.
Any questions ask away.

So my suggestion is use the coach who is likely to be on there the most thru the season and then share the log in details if both need access. Nostra and I have done it this way ourselves.
Any questions ask away.

Hey all
Can everyone please re-join the AXV league on UF? We are in the process of getting things sorted and required all coaches and teams to be registered back in the league.
To do this just log into UF and then Join a League where there should be an option to re-join the AXV league.
Thanks

Seasons getting closer, only 5 left to join up.
A message was sent yesterday for the remaining coaches to please join back up on UF. We really need this to occur ASAP please.
I am still waiting for UF to transfer the commish role to myself from JB so I can start doing the draw and teams etc. When this occurs I will swap out Adamant with FF as coach of the Bears.
Sorry to all for the time this is taking. It is totally out of our hands for now.
Can I also please get people who have read this just to reply so I know who is active and has been advised and who isn't.
Cheers
Rids
Hi
I'm PowerBug nice to meet you
Good work Rids
Cheers everyone for the messages so far.
For those that have replied, feel free to message someone who hasn't and tell them to reply! Whether that be here or on facebook or on twitterverse. It doesn't matter. I want everyone to start taking notice of the threads again. Time to wake everyone up from the off season slumber!
Only a couple of weeks left to organise everything so the less delay we have the better.
hello! :P

Would it be worth naming the guys who you need to hear from? l'm sure some others here might be able to contact them some other way, fb, twitter, email, phone etc.
With it still being "off-season" I'm sure it's just an oversight on their part, as we've got a pretty committed bunch here.

Unfortunately it is out of my hands. The change in ownership means that the Age now run it and the contacts I had before arent there anymore.
JB is chasing up again. Fingers crossed it is resolved soon.
Ok so have now restored team ;D
#Get amongst the Llamas
Thanks TBag and NRich for joining.
We only have one team left to re-join. If Jay can re-join the Strikers to the league ASAP that would be awesome.
I am continually spamming UF atm but if it doesnt happen prior to round 1 I will set up the draw here and then amend when the league has been transferred.
Cheers all.
#sackjay
Done
Brilliant! Cheers guys. Now UF has no more reasons to delay the switch of commish.
I will try and update tomorrow afternoon.
UF update - League has now been transferred across to me so I will start looking into amending all the teams and creating the draws.
Can everyone make sure that all others are aware that the season starts next week? I am hopeful that the activity will grow in the AXV forums when we are back on top of everything and doing new posts and thread topics etc.
Apologies to all for the delays but forward we will march! Hopefully have all the teams updated soon so stay tuned.
Cheers
Rids
Quick update.
I have entered all the team lists and have found a few gaps.
Teams and delisted players on list:
Ales - B. Gowers (Carl)
Crabs - J. Garlett (GC)
Elephants - T. Smith (Freo)
Lambs - C. O'Shea (Port), C. Cameron (GC), C. Moller (Freo)
Dongs - J. Hiscox (Syd), Macaffer (Coll)
Teams with less than 40 on their main list:
Dolphins - 38 and 6 rookies
I have just sent a message to JB and Nas to discuss. I have suggested that I pick players from the left overs to complete the teams and therefore complete the draft. This will allow me then to create the draw etc and the league will be ready for round 1. The coach will need to delist those players from their teams on UF when the draft has been finalised and they will play the 2017 season short.
Happy for everyone to voice an opinion on this.
Fine with me, although I'm not one of the teams in question.
You're right though that it does need to be a quick solution as we're running out of time.
I delisted Tanner Smith?

You may have but it wasnt captured correctly which is what I am trying to resolve now.
I will give it another hour or so for people to respond and then do what I have suggested. I will have the draw and rd 1 team submission and banter threads up tomorrow.
May as well just do whatever you wanna do now, you're unlikely to get many responses in the least active comp on the site in an hour on a Saturday afternoon.
My team list on the second page of my thread is updated for cross-checking. Im not playing 2 short when I know I drafted 40 + 6.
Yeah so I'm pretty sure this is purely poor administration really.
I've been thorough and actually cross-checked everything.
Tanner Smith was definitely delisted and Tim Smith is missing from my list in UF.
Quinton Narkle & Tom Lamb are the two Im missing

Ah that might be it then. On the OP of the team lists it says T. Smith (Freo).
That is an easy fix. One sorted.

Just checked the delisting thread and Dongs delisted Macaffer.
Presumably the other guys were missed or kept on the list in the hope they were re-drafted by an AFL club?
If that's the case, should they have technically been auto-delisted followed by a supplementary pick?

Yeah I found Macaffer. Cross referencing all the drafts and trades now to try and work out if there was someone missing.
Technically this is correct hence why I am just trying to bandaid fix this to get it to a workable solution now. Unfortunately this hasn't been as well handled as it could have been which means it is taking a very long time to do. UF is a very good tool for this so when it is right we should have no more issues moving fwd.
If you are updating the teams, M.Blicavs at the Vipers is Mid only.

Cheers. Yeah the lists on the Opening Pages are out by a lot. I will tidy that up next after getting the UF sorted.
Players that need to be delisted in UF that were added to complete the team lists and draft are:
Crabs - Zac Dawson
Ales - Ryan Abbott
Lambs - Jake Batchelor - Heath Hocking - Fletcher Roberts
Dongs - Joel Patful - Sam Shaw
Note: to delist just go My Team > Delist Player and select the red minus sign next to the named players above. If they do not display against your team then I have already removed them.
I have now activated the league on UF. Changes can be made continually on UF if other mistakes have been made so please post if you find any. Also please check your team lists under the My Team tab on UF.
Please Note: The source of truth as always will be the fanfooty threads. I will make sure they are all up to date and ready for the season proper.
Thanks to all!

So can we get the Round 1 team submission thread up? Even if it's just a temporary thing with no details in the Opening post?

Last year this was asked & a response came back (understandable) that this should stay as it's the CW's tradition.
During last season some teams also just submitted "As per UF with the 3 available C's" in the posts.
Myself reckon that we should do both, being UF as well as submitting your team in a weekly round thread.
Would prefer the traditional way myself. Yah.

But while we're mentioning naming teams here, it should always be done because moving team submissions offsite just lessens an already ridiculous low amount of things coaches have to do, and that's going to be even more detrimental to a competition with already embarrassingly low activity levels.
I disagree with saying "team as per UF" because it opens up to potential loopholes which I know JB was able to exploit last season (possibly accidentally). Name your team entirely on FanFooty or cop last weeks team imo.
Don't mind which format, its no big deal so whichever is easier for mods
And yep gotta name full teams on FF
Let me explain the loophole which took place:
Was a partial lockout week and it was Crows vs North on the Thursday. JB didn't name his side on FF prior to that game so I felt good because I was playing him and he didn't get to name Brent Harvey and I think someone else good.
Then Friday lockout came around and he still hasn't named a side. Midway through the Friday game he said "team as per UF" or something to that effect. And of course on UF Harvey was named on field, and he had a good game the previous night.
So essentially he's gotten two bites of the cherry. But he was admin last season so that was never going to be found guilty, and all credit to him for picking it up. But you can't allow that to happen again. That's just a blatant loophole that shouldn't be allowed.
We ether use UF entirely like BXV, or we are using it for an easy way to get the scores of our players, no in between.
I also prefer the format Nige wants, saves a heap of space and it's nicer to read. Looks more like a team, current thing just looks like a list of players ;)

Not sure where this thought process of naming teams off fanfooty has come from tbh. It is 100% mandatory to name teams on FF and optional to edit UF. We are only encouraging people to do it on both as the mods will be using the match ups to assit us. I can still edit teams anyways and intend to do so on UF to reflect the teams named on FF.
Nostra is also correct in regards to the format Colli introduced reflecting UF. I know Nostra and I would always do UF first last season as it helped with naming the strongest team available.
We are doing our best to get people back involved here. Yes there is currently a low level of activity but it is improving and will do so when people gain cofidence that the comp is being run well. The mods are doing our best to tidy things up and get things back on track. Hopefully people are starting to see this.
The Colli naming convention can be revisited by vote as per Nas' comments next off season.
Round 1 is only a few days away now so everyone should be starting to get excited by the start of another competitive AXV season!

Reckon we should have a weekly FF thread, with teams named in format that Nige has recommended, & use UF for scoring.
In the settings of UF lock the team at start of the round, & quote your team in the weekly FF thread for any adjustments for rounds that have a Thursday start. Example of this is round 1 this week, & Friday then is locked as per usual. Captains, Vice Captains also locked at the start of the round (Thursday), removes another loophole that could be used.

Players from the Thursday night game are automatically locked out on UF when the game has started. The league setting will be to lockout the whole round at the commencement of the Friday game to allow people the ability to change players who have not played in that round after the Thursday night game.
If what you are saying occured last year, then it wasn't a loophole on UF. Moving forward, players from the Thursday game will require to be named in the Team Submission thread prior to the Thursday game commencing. This will be policed by the mods.

I think it's plain and simple that UF teams are completely irrelevant. This comp is being run on FF and if you fail to name your team on FF then you miss out and get last weeks team, or may name players that haven't already played in the case of the partial lockout.

No, you misunderstood I think, let me use a hypothetical example from this week. I have a toss up at D4 between Simon White and Lee Spurr.
I choose to not name my team on FanFooty prior to the Thursday game, and in UF I have Simon White named ON FIELD. I wait and see if he does well. If he plays well, then I just adjust the rest of my team on UF and comment "Team as per UF", if Simon white does badly, I pretend UF is not around and name my team on FF with Lee Spurr in it.
That is what happened last year (against me which is why I'm salty :P) with JB and Brent Harvey. And that is why the "team" you select on Ultimate Footy should count for 0, and you can't reference to it at all.
I will reiterate again.
Teams are to be named on Fanfooty as per the Colli team format specified in the OP of the Team Submission thread.
Note: The format will be discussed in the Rule Changes thread for 2018 - Nas has already captured it in the thread: http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,108118.15.html
Fanfooty team naming is Official. If any coach forgets to name players in their team that are playing on a Thursday on Fanfooty, then those players will be locked out and unavailable for selection. It does not matter if they are on the field or not on UF.
UF is only a tool for the mods to assist with the weekly match-ups, scoring, and maintaining team lists from season to season.

I will reiterate again.
Teams are to be named on Fanfooty as per the Colli team format specified in the OP of the Team Submission thread.
Note: The format will be discussed in the Rule Changes thread for 2018 - Nas has already captured it in the thread: http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,108118.15.html
Fanfooty team naming is Official. If any coach forgets to name players in their team that are playing on a Thursday on Fanfooty, then those players will be locked out and unavailable for selection. It does not matter if they are on the field or not on UF.
UF is only a tool for the mods to assist with the weekly match-ups, scoring, and maintaining team lists from season to season.
Why do we have access to UF then? Why not have teams only accessible by the administration?

hahahaha :P
Is there really a need to have a specific format? Can we do a screenshot from UF?
I believe the way UF is displayed in the list view is in the same format as what Colli introduced a while back.
B

B
B
M - and so on.
Just make sure if this is agoing to be a screenshot that a captain, vice captain and emerg vice capt is named plus the 3 emergs
The format has been discussed earlier this preseason and it was decided to stick with what we have. It is up again for discussion for 2018 season.

There are only 3 mods for AXV. Nas, JB and myself. I am the only one with access to making changes to UF. If people don't update UF then all good. It just means I will spend my Friday evening doing the updating.

Are you people serious? Why would the rookie draft rules need to be changed? ???
Wasn't Colli's vision for Asia to stay as close to AFL rules as possible?
What is so wrong with rookie lists ::)

In the AFL they can't leave a player on the rookie list forever. We can in AXV, so shouldn't that part be changed?

Ah but there is! Only if you are a nerd (Nobody likes a nerd >:( ) Is there a calculated reason to dismiss the rookie list!
Fair dinkum, the rookie list and draft adds not only vital strategy but intrigue to an otherwise fairly straight-forward and simple competition ???

I wouldn't mind including only keeping a player on the rookie list for a maximum of two years. I'm all for emulating how the AFL runs it.
Round 2 teams have now been updated on UF. Could people please take a look and confirm that I have made no mistakes.
A couple of points to take notice of:
- Please make sure you are posting your teams in the correct format. I understand that it is cumbersome and there is a vote to come to change this for the future but it is still an active rule for season 2017.
- Rookie listed players who have not been elevated cannot be named in your weekly line up.
Best of luck to all for the week!
Thanks
Just a quick FYI. I am on a plane tomorrow overseas and won't be back until the 1st May. I am hopeful if having internet service every couple of days and intend to log in and check here as much as I can. I plan to still be able to complete the Monday match ups.
Thanks all for the season so far. I believe that the AXV comp has a little traction and involvement from all which is great to see.
Cheers

Oh yeah, I forgot we play through byes.
I think the 5th placing of the Llamas is about to re-boot given the return and form of the likes of Jobe Watson Chad Wingard (Now a midfelder, finally, da ::) ) Lachie Neale is a freak, The Beast JC back to his best, Otten, Shag, Ramsey starting to gather match fitness (The SHag vfl, 34 touches) Matty Crouch a ball magnet as is Sammy Mitchell
Jack Viney has turned the corner, the tackling king now gathering 30 touches a game
Trengove cat get a go, Vandenberg injured, Shag waiting, Jake Kelly finally looking like an AFL regular and ok scorer. Gawn an Spenser both injured. Brayshaw keeps getting KO'd :-\
But despite all the players Tibet have missed, We sit 5-3 which I think is un-truthful but. GET AMONGST THE LLAMAS

Hey all, so in attempt to kind of bring a more real time alternative for members of the forum, we've gone ahead and set up a FanFooty Forum Discord server. It'll serve as a newer and more modern version of the old FF chat. All the details you need to know are below:
Quote from: Nige on May 24, 2017, 10:26:25 AM
So, the Discord server is basically up and running. I still have to add a few things here and there but it's set up enough to be functional imo.
To download Discord, you can go here: https://discordapp.com/
The above link will allow you to either access Discord online or allow you to download the program (that's what I use). As I mentioned before, you can also get the app on your phone.
If you don't already have Discord, you'll have to create an account. It's free, quick and easy to do. It's probably best people use their FF name, but if you already use Discord under a different name or want to sign up under a different name, that's fine - we can always change your name once you get on.
The link to the server is: https://discord.gg/95UJz7f
Once you get on, you should be able to start chatting straight away in the text channels.
For anyone who wants to use the voice channels (I doubt this will be popular or interest many, but the option is there), I advise you set up push-to-talk (PTT). Basically, in the settings you can set up a key as your 'PTT' button to speak on mic if you want, this just blocks out background noise, typing sounds and other noises you might make while on mic. This obviously requires you to have a mic to speak, but you can still also sit in voice channels and simply listen to anyone conversing.
There's an @ feature to tag members. Generally, a member will get a notification if they've been tagged. Please don't abuse this feature or use it to annoy anyone. One thing I suggest is tagging an admin or mod when you get on so we know who has arrived for the first time and can help you with any basics like a name change or giving a role.
Another thing that people might find helpful is that you can still be on Discord but afk (away from keyboard). There are 3 other settings apart from online that you can mark yourself as to indicate your status. Idle, Do Not Disturb or Invisible. Might be good for those that still wanna be on and have access to Discord, but aren't around to actively chat, or are at work, school or whatever.
I'll add a bunch of rules and stuff over the course of the day but common sense and common courtesy apply. Anything that will get you reported, suspended or banned here on the forum will go for the Discord.
I plan to keep the same roles for the forum. So those who are site-wide mods here will get mod powers and those with Discord experience will also get mod powers to help assist those who are new.
If there are any other questions, let me know. KB and (I assume) a couple of others around here probably have used Discord before so I'll get them to help out with that stuff if need be.

Yes go down further / continues in the thread http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,110321.0.html to be updated.
Unfortunately, NRich has advised he won't have enough time to continue coaching the Hong Kong Dongs. I will do an advertisement post later this evening for the team.
I would like to thank NRich for his time and efforts with the AXV comp.
If anyone knows of someone who would be interested in taking over a young list with nat picks 1 and 3 currently, please let them know that this vacancy will be advertised later this evening.

I have messaged and posted this multiple times. We are delisting now to free up list space for the National draft selections. If you want to hold someone to see if they are picked up on Monday then do not delist them.
The trick here however is that no team can have more than 46 players in total.
So if you have 44 prior to the start of the National draft then you will only have 2 live selections. Players that get automatically delisted if they are NOT picked up will have their spots taken by Rookie draft selections as the National draft has started already.

The AXV National Draft has now been updated.
NOTE: All teams MUST have the available list space to use a selection in the National draft. Team lists are a maximum of 46. Teams are NOT allowed to go over that number.
We will be lenient to all teams that still have delistings and retirements to post and accept all up to the START of the AXV National Draft. The team list by position thread (link below) has your current team size directly below your team.

That's a worry, he'll have no delistments and be left with only 1 pick in the draft.
**can anyone get in touch with him via social media or any other means??
I am a little torn on it tbh.
Half of me is willing to be lenient when he is on next. The other half of me is thinking that people have responsibilities to the AXV comp and need to be at least logging on to check things.
I understand that things do come up in our personal lives which can mean we don't have the time to do this every now and then. I think we will need to wait until he logs back in next then we can decide from there.
Are we still getting started at 12AEDT?

TBag logged in and posted in the 'Adelaide' thread and is now offline again.
Unfortunately this now means he will only have 1 live pick in the AXV National Draft.
Was going through the old team thread (haven't done it in ages) and found this beauty. Remember this SR?

I have recreated the league on UF for AXV 2018 season. To join, just log in and Join a League. Thee should then be options on the right Rejoin a league for AXV.
Any problems let me know. Everyone will need to rejoin the league for me to re-make the teams etc.
I am extremely time poor currently so I will try and check in from time to time.
I will also be advertising for a new mod to replace me over the next week or 2. All interested parties can start sending their interest to nas and myself. It does take quite a bit of time each week to keep it running smoothly especially with UF and updating weekly scores etc based on teams posted here. I will be more than happy to teach whoever how to do the updates etc.
I do apologise about my lack of time in 2018 but as many would know I have also closed my website and totally stepped away from all fantasy sites etc besides my keepers. Life priorities have changed totally for me now. AXV now however is much more organised and back to being a very interesting and intriguing comp. Hopefully we can continue to build the competitiveness of the league.
Cheers
Rids
Thanks for all your hard work in helping to run the comp Rids. AXV is certainly a better competition for your contribution!
Interestingly, Champion Data have re-positioned Steven Motlop to mid/fwd now in DT and SC.
Don't often see that!

Not sure. He is still a mid only in UF as well currently.
I would assume that they will both start him as the CD position change however.
Obviously Crabs are happy with the re-allocation :D

Haven't seen a reason. They did it a couple of years ago with Blicavs from memory. Very rare.

Trade period will close 14th Feb. This should help in allowing the player updates to UF.
I also would like to thank for all your hard work in helping to run the comp Rids. Sure that all coaches have appreciated all the time & commitment & effort that you have done.
We as a League need mods & please as stated send a pm to Rids & myself if interested.
Again, wish you all the best in the future in 2018 & beyond.
3 more teams to join. Waiting on Ales, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur from the looks of things.
Go to Join a League option and the Restore Team option should be displayed for AXV league. As soon as everyone has joined I will assign players to lists.
Cheers to all.
Done
Waiting on one more team now. Feel free to hassle and message JB haha! As soon as the Ales join then I will start getting the league updated.
Hopefully sooner than later.
AFL UTG open for participants ahead of Season 3

Sorry haven't been on here much but back now and the Ales are in
Sorry everyone. Something major has come up and I won't have the ability to update UF for the next few days at the very least.
Apologies but will update at a later time.
Rids has asked me to let everyone know that he will post up round one results later in the week.
Needless to say that there are some very important real world issues happening with Rids at the moment, but it's not my place to say or nor do l want to.
Sorry for seeming cryptic, but that's just the way it has to be at the moment.
There are some here that know and if/when the rest find out you will without doubt understand.
Cheers Guys.
Could we please start getting end of round results and ladder posted in the match centre threads?

Sorry about not having scores for the first couple of weeks all. As you all know Rids has not been able to be online, and he is the only one of us with mod access on UF at the moment to update scores on there.
You may notice that I've been given mod status for the board again. I told Rids and nas I'm happy to help out a bit as needed throughout the season when I'm available to do so.
I'll go through over the next day or two and update scores on here so we can get some results for the first couple of weeks. Hopefully we can do a bit better with keeping the competition up to date over the rest of the season!
Apologies to all in regards to the match results for the first 2 rounds. I will sort it all out over this weekend now things have become a little more controllable from my end.
I have been in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with my 5 week old son who was born 15 weeks premature. My partner and I have been living out of the hospital during this time and will be for the next 3 months. It was obviously very sudden and unexpected so I had no time to hand over things properly.
I will need to step away from the mod role when I do get it all sorted so I can focus on my family.
I appreciate everyone's patience during this time.
Hope everything works out well for your family Rids.
Hope it all works out for your family, Rids.
We appreciate everything that you have done for the comp.

Same here Rids, best of luck with everything moving forward.
Creating rounds 4,5,6,7,& 8 Teams Submission threads & Match Centres as will be away & will be locked so as to avoid any problems & unlocked as needed.
Good luck Rids, all the best to your family.
Hope all goes well Rids
Thanks for the time you have spent on this comp.
Round 4 Teams Submission thread & Match Centre now open.
UF has now been updated for the first 3 rounds based on the match results already posted. The ladder will be correct on UF as well.
(http://i68.tinypic.com/28wldw0.png)
Cheers to all for their patience.
How about Manila up there in the top 4! Coming third on overall points for as well!
Suddenly the memories of trading Dane Swan for Ricky Henderson don't seem so bad :p
How about the overall ladder too, just like the AFL with one undefeated team and two yet without a win.
Bit of shameless advertising

Hey everyone.
I have messaged nas and BB to see who would want to take on the league manager role on UF for AXV. I do not have any time to even post a team let alone work out the weekly results etc and make the appropriate edits. It doesn't take too long to do on a weekly basis for someone with time.
I know some people have messaged me asking how the little man is going. Sorry I havent replied to anyone as I am hardly online. Young Jack is now 10 weeks old. He is still in the Intensive Care Unit and has had many ups and downs. We are hopeful he might be home with us in about 6 weeks time (so mid to late June fingers crossed). Combining hospital and work life makes it impossible for me to do anything else. It is very unfortunate but cannot be helped.
Hopefully I hear from one of the guys shortly so the comp doesnt stall too much.
Cheers
Rids
Thanks for your patience with the comp everyone.
Rids has now given nas and I access to UF to update scores on there.
I am planning to get on tonight and hopefully update the scores so we can have an up to date ladder!
In the mean time, the team submission thread for round 8 is open for posting this week's teams.
And now we are all up to date as of Round 10! So let's have a look at how the actual ladder looks.
(https://i.imgur.com/ezeMH07.jpg)
Not even I thought the Folders would be sitting right up top of the ladder at this stage of the year :o
Looks like there's a good 12 teams still fighting it out for the top 8, what are a few thoughts on the ladder as it currently stands?
Nice work getting things up to date BB, though the ladder isn't quite as I'd like :P
Our ladder heading into the byes.
(https://i.imgur.com/bi26bwi.jpg)
Folders just holding onto a top 4 spot, and the battle for the 8 is really starting to heat up!
These bye rounds will be crucial if some teams hovering just outside the 8 can cause a few upsets.
We're in the eight :)
Ladder post round 12
(https://i.imgur.com/EBhOWwa.jpg)
That top 4 race is sure starting to heat up!
A few more upset results over the remaining bye rounds could make for an interesting ladder come the end of the season.

Tibetan media guru Mr X
Sadly for Tibet star forward Clay Smith has been forced due to retirement into injury!
Clay was a star for the Llamas early in the AXV but since 2017 has not recovered from serious knee injuries and ad aged just 25, the Llama star has forgone his knee just wasn't getting any better.
Clay was drafted early by Tibet and was a standout when his body allowed him to play, Smith had continual knee injuries and just couldn't quite reach his full football potential due to injury
Tibet would like to thank Clay for all his effort and courage and with him the best in the future!
Clay Smith's retirement opens the door for players like Willi Rioli, Josh Battle, Sam PS and Jordan Gallucci to impress in Tibet's run to finals.

Will be sad to see you go Koop, cheers for all of your contributions to the AXV comp since it started.
Sorry all, I have been away for a few days without a stable internet connection.
I will get on to updating Round 18 scores as soon as I am able, but looks like it may not be until the weekend.
I'll just have to keep everyone in suspense for match results for a little longer!
Our rule and trade discussion threads are now set up. Be sure to mention any rule changes you would like to see in the competition, and start writing your shopping list for the upcoming trade period!
Pretty dismal effort in the finals from the Bears in the end :(
So when is the serious discussion about the future of this comp taking place?
Coop is done and tbag is getting banned I think? I daresay this is the least active comp in terms of activity and that is probably has the least 'atmosphere' of all the comps on the forum. Something needs to be done imo.
Demand to join these comps isn't what it used to be. I think we'll struggle to find two replacements. It also wouldn't surprise me if other incumbent coaches are thinking of quitting/resigning.
I'd really like to not only hear the opinions of my fellow coaches, but the administration (who I know are also coaches).
AXV needs to cut down to about 10 or 12 teams in my opinion, there's barely 10 active coaches here yet alone 18. Most Match Centre threads have about 2 posts and 1 of them is the the results. Re-drafting 6 or 8 sides would give higher quality teams and make cellar dwellers a little more competitive. Those two things can start to make the competition a little bit more interesting, because it is very dry at the moment, no matter where you sit on the ladder.

yep as i already alluded to Nige a few weeks ago, i dont think ill go on either
My thoughts have always been that these kind of competitions are only worth running as long as the people participating in them are enjoying them.
Obviously the competition has not been as active the last couple of seasons, and I know that as admins we haven't been able to provide a lot of other features apart from maintaining scores each week. Realistically, I would set expectations at the same level for next season for what we can provide.
I'm happy for people to post their thoughts in the thread here so we can get a feeling for what the rest of the competition is feeling. If people don't want to keep going with the competition next season that is perfectly okay, and I definitely wouldn't take it personally. That being said, some coaches have put in a lot of effort into their teams over the last 5 years, and there are different options we can look at going forward.
For now I think it's probably best to open up a discussion about the future in this thread, and once we have a feeling for what the broader competition is thinking, we can look at next steps.
The solution?

10 teams ?
Play each other twice?
Obvs may need a new Co coach pair or 2
But im not against it for the good of the comp
Why can't we just look for some new coaches ? i found the best way was to message regulars that don't have any teams. I think the problem lies with the fact that you need experience? a resume/job application to join and then it comes down to coaches voting. We pretty much have the same coaches spread out over multiple comps. There is no avenue for new people to join.
Ill give up the Bears and take on the worst team if needed. I like a challenge

If you can find roughly 5 coaches not already involved to willingly take on a role here in AXVs, which already has a less than favourable reputation, I'll be very impressed.

There has already been a bit of this behind the scenes, it's bleak. Hence the suggestions above.
So you propose the end for this comp?
I think i have found 1 person .. maybe 2 ?
I propose this
We re-brand the comp .. AXV AustraliaXV ?
We change the scoring system or change platform.
We find the coaches necessary as i would hate to play in a 10 team comp.

Open to anything to improve/reinvigorate the comp.
Since the comp has struggled, sticking to UF and either adopting that scoring system or making a whole new one makes sense.
Havent done a draft in a while, so a full new draft would at least interest most people.
I think the main issue, is what someone said in a previous post, most if not all coaches have 2-4 teams in the various xv and xviii comps so with busy lives sometimes banter across all codes is hard, and (not having a go) but the comps that work best are pushed by very active admins, which has been an issue this year with AXV.
I think 10 teams is a necessary evil? Full lottery on draft positions. New scoring format. Each team plays each other twice, nothing over the byes, standard top 5 finals series.

im for it
All, have an official pm from atto effective from 11:30 has resigned as Coach of HK Dongs.
When home will add the pm to here.
Just to recap:
Resigned - Koop, Atto
Thinking about it/maybe/likely - Ricochet, iZander, Nige
Suspended/Banned - tbag
6 coaches to potentially replace. Think about it.
I think we need to get some sort of bail/commitment ratio from the three guys who are unsure.
Do they want to be involved in the change process or should we look to make it 10 coaches who can agree on a path to progress?

I'm waiting to see the replies from all the other coaches, and then want to see the admin(s) weigh in or their preference, then I'll be making the call.
If I'm interested in the direction the competition is going in and I think I'll enjoy it moving forward, I'll probably continue.

This is definitely a strong point. A highly active admin that can help with content throughout the week definitely helps a competition be more involved. While I would love to say I'd be able to increase my time commitment next season, realistically I cannot see myself doing much more for the competition next season than this year.
Personally, I would like to see the competition continue, whether that be in it's current format or with a reduced number of teams probably depends on numbers we can have to make a solid commitment for next season.
At this stage I will look at sending out a pm to all coaches on the weekend to make sure we can get a response from everyone with what they would be looking to do for next season.
Well why don't we just change it up a bit. Do something like each Club keeps 15 players and the rest get thrown in a draft.
The two separate drafts, normal Nat/rookie draft and the new leftover draft will be in random order, not based on previous season ladder position.
Everyone loves a draft.
..Or if we don't want to be so drastic, each Club will have to de-list 10 contracted players from their list that go into a draft.
And then then draft order is based on ladder position from previous season as usual.
Not sure how keeping your best 15 or delisting your worst 10 players fixes anything.

Drafts are fun
All these ideas of partial redrafts or finding new coaches don't really fix the main issues this competition has.
- The activity and atmosphere here makes Euros look like Worlds
- The administration, while doing the best they can (and you don't need to tell me about hard it is), doesn't help
- Some of the rules are beyond silly, like the team naming format and having both a submission and match centre thread
- The balance of teams in this comp is absolutely cooked
- There are about 6 coaches on the way out with basically no replacements
Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see AXVs continue but not like this. If any of the proposed ideas so far come in to play, it's basically just prolonging the inevitable by keeping it on life support.
I think there are three coaches in this comp, not in other one on the for whatever reason, and one of them is as good as banned, so it really doesn't make a lot of sense to me as to why people are so opposed to this comp dying out.
I understand it's a sad and grim reality that this comp could and probably should die, but there's no easy way to pull the plug.
Personally I love the AXV comp and want it to continue. I am not concerned about the activity levels through the season at all. The AFL season is very long and usually kills enthusiasm by the bye rounds.
Last preseason the AXV comp was very active. All drafts were completed by mid January. There were 29 trades done in the first period last year and 4 in trade period 2. This was up from the year before where there was 26 in total. I love the scoring format for AXV where it makes the big forwards more relevant than they usually would be. I don't particularly care about what format I need to name the team in as it only takes a simple copy and paste with a couple of amendments week to week.
I have no idea why people are comparing AXV to other comps in regards to participation and activity. I understand everyone has their own thoughts and different enjoyment levels but for me I like the slower activity through the year as it means I do not have to be on fanfooty anywhere near as much as I am in the off season. I personally could not think of anything worse than a WXV comp where I would need to be active 24/7. Again, I am not saying that is a bad thing at all but it really is an each to their own thing and what individuals like.
Nostra and I finally have a team that won a premiership last year in the Crabs (first one for AXV) and would be very disappointed to have spent many years developing this list to start again. We took on a struggling Grope Lane team in BXV and have done a rebuild there to the point that Grope Lane have played finals for the very first time this year. We handed in our AXVIII DT and EXV teams because we found we could not commit fully to all 4 time wise.
How to improve AXV participation and activity.
1. AXV is the comp of choice for us but it needs to be administered better. This is very difficult to do unless someone has a heap of free time.
2. AXV needs to have a much better trade approval process. It cannot come down to the admin's opinion of a player or a popularity contest. It is counter productive to be rejecting too many trades as it kills the activity and participation levels for the comp. Sometimes there is a chain of 50 messages to finally sort out a trade to have it rejected because the admin does not rate one of the players involved. There was even an instance last year where the Crabs were told they gave away Hugh Greenwood in a trade for not enough. We cannot have it both ways. If the top teams lose the odd trade or 2 then it should make other teams more competitive.
3. Maybe the addition of UF also has lowered activity here. People are no longer providing score updates through the weekend as was previously done. This means that people really just use UF to see a score update and don't even need to log in here (I know I have been doing this myself). We need to prob look at that moving fwd.
I don't mind in the least if we do a redraft but I do think it is important that coaches get to hold a number of the players from their current team (prob 15 is the right number). I am all for trying to level up the comp. The bottom teams though need a lot of work but that is fine. We did it in BXV and with Grope Lane and it is a lot of fun doing a proper rebuild in a keeper league.
Don't mind me, but I really need to break down the post above, because there's a few issues with it. I think it's the kind of healthy discussion we need here, don't take it as being vitriolic, I just need to highlight some things.
First and foremost, if anyone wants a tl;dr of Rids' post, it basically reads: "I love AXVs, I love my team, I want to keep things as they are."
There's nothing wrong with that really, I can understand why Rids would say that, and others for that matter too.
However, there is this little bit:
QuoteI don't mind in the least if we do a redraft but I do think it is important that coaches get to hold a number of the players from their current team (prob 15 is the right number). I am all for trying to level up the comp.
I can't be alone in thinking that Bangkok has the best XV (most well rounded) in the comp right now. It explains why they're in the grand final and could very well go back to back.
Someone has to explain to me, what does keeping 15 players do? Keeping intact your best XV? In the case of Bangkok, who have a strong XV, this is massive for them. It certainly won't help level the comp imo. Potentially, every team keeps their best XV and just reshuffles and redistributes their depth. That doesn't make much of a difference.
Another issue is highlighted by this:
QuoteI love the scoring format for AXV where it makes the big forwards more relevant than they usually would be.
Apart from the top defenders (guys like Yeo etc), the rest of the defenders are a level playing field and almost worthless, they all score roughly the same. It's one of the issues with the scoring system imo. If say, 10 defenders have value, and the rest are a dime a dozen. BXVs had a similar issue, identified it and at least found a way to fix that.
Quote2. AXV needs to have a much better trade approval process. It cannot come down to the admin's opinion of a player or a popularity contest.

Maybe I'm wrong or out of line, but I sense there's a bit of sour grapes about this part. The Hugh Greenwood trade wasn't nearly as bad as the Swallow + Atley for Bowes + Dunkley trade. Two of the best young players the Dongs had for a guy who isn't even named in the grand final team for Bangkok because of their depth and Atley, who is garbage and irrelevant in both fantasy and irl. Can you imagine if this trade got passed? Dunkley's been their best player with a 124 average, that's great. Certainly wouldn't have helped Hong Kong to lose him, so thankfully they didn't.
Anyway, Rids was well within his right to say what he did and admire the passion he has, but there's a few lines of thinking there that are shared between a few coaches here and it's not really helpful for a comp already on its knees waiting for the death blow.

Yeah i +1 this :P
The scoring system is something i dislike obviously thats just an opinion of mine but tbh i think it needs to be changed or defenders need something added (like +2 for rebound 50s or +2 for spoils, or tbh both) otherwise all defenders are worthless basically, just like nige said :P
Nas did a great job last year when ruling on trades, and the fact it took 50 messages was just his hesitation of rejecting a clearly terrible trade for the competition. Made the right decision in the end, i dont see what the problem is there.
Yeah exchanging depth isnt going to fix the problem but theres nothing new there, suggestion have been made for a while to even up the comp but they are all shut down. Which i completely understand, im not sure id want to part with a great team that i had made either, so theres nothing wrong with that at all.
I also just wanna thank Nas for doing a great job with admining this comp, i think ur doing a great job but unfortunately this was probably going to happen to AXV anyway :/
I think the points I was making have either been missed or not explained well enough. I will do point by point by post to give further thoughts.
Keeping 15 players
This keeps the coaches that have been drafting and trading for years to keep some of what they have already created (good or bad). People should be held accountable for poor teams if they went hard for older guys to win Premierships early while others should not lose the foundation of their squad if they took another strategy and went young to create contenders from around now. It should be highlighted that it isn't just the Crabs who have taken this strategy. There are other teams that are now contending due to how coaches have drafted and traded.
The other thing that happens here is that 30 players are released into a pool of players. The lower teams 30 players won't be as good in quality as the 30 guys released by the better teams eg: we will be delisting guys like Cotchin etc that would no doubt strengthen the lower teams. My problem though is that these guys who would make teams much more competitive would be overlooked by young kids who still have 3 to 5 years before they become decent.
Greenwood Trade
The point being made here is that the admin asked us at the time if we wanted more for Greenwood and we said no. We were happy to take unders as we were having massive trouble with making any trades. Making the lesser team pay more to level out the trade in this instance was not required yet it happened.
I never referenced the Dunkley rejected trade and won't. At the time we were not impressed with the decision but we moved on. The decision was final after all. Discussion was had at the time and it was obvious that it was a majority decision. We have not mentioned it since and won't be moving forward. I could easily highlight other approved trades that are now awful with hindsight but once again, it isn't in the best interest of the comp to do so.
50 messages to finally land a trade to get it rejected
This had nothing to do with the approval process. This had everything to do with sending many many message between coaches to finally agree to a trade to have it rejected due to the opinion of an admin or whoever that is subjective depending on what people look at. It does kill the enthusiasm to go through trade discussions the next time after getting rejections. We should try and find a more transparent way for this process.
Scoring format
The scoring format was one of the first things I loved about this comp. It meant there was a point of difference between AXV and the other XV comps. I never mentioned whether more scoring could or should be added (which could be up for further discussion). But was just stating why I loved the idea of 12 point goals.
I am all for discussion and will partake always. The fact of the matter is that people are being way too negative about a fantasy footy keeper league. If individuals are not having fun then they need to make a decision to either leave or to attempt to increase their enjoyment levels by participation etc.
I have sent out a pm to all our coaches last night to get everyone's thoughts on the future of the competition. So far I've had a few positive responses, and at this stage I believe we will definitely have enough interest to continue the competition in the future in some format.
One more thing I should add is if anyone is interested in joining in with the running of the competition in the future in some capacity, or has weekly features they would like to run, please let us know.
Meanwhile, we have a grand final on at the moment! I'll be doing a score update in the match centre thread shortly.

That's it, once we know there are 11 coaches keen to stay. Advertise and see how many we can get. If ends up being a 14 club comp, then so be it.
Even a Coach from one Club can be a caretaker of another Club until a new Coach is found. There are many ways to solve a problem.

Yep ... i am willing to take on another team, obviously i wouldn't be able to trade between my own teams but that's fine, no issue for me.
In terms of trying to even up the comp ..maybe top 4 don't get a first round pick in the draft ?

I thought about the no trading with yourself thing. As long as you make the trade known and allow it to be bettered.
Also if it's a fair trade, there shouldn't be a real issue. Let's cross that river if we get to it.
If every Club de-lists 10 contracted players that go into a draft. Whether we hold it before or after the Nat draft.
The weaker teams will pick up some decent players out of it and we all get to do a draft.
On top of getting better draft picks, another reward for a poor performance. ;)
I 100% agree. The coaches thinking about giving up their teams need to make up their minds so we can move on.
My suggestion is we first look for replacement coaches then have a discussion if we cannot find enough in regards to lowering the teams involved in the comp. Would be nice to get a decision and move on to trading and draft planning etc.
I simply cannot fathom how you all think of those ideas are good.
First of all, having two teams might just one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. A coach of a current club can't possibly be 'caretaker' of another, that's a conflict of interest no matter how you look at it, and if you think otherwise, I have no idea what to say.
The fact is that forum activity and interest in these comps has dipped dramatically, only Worlds had any form of demand to join because it's an attractive competition to join for a multitude of reasons, whereas this comp more issues that you can count, starting with some incumbent coaches thinking two teams per coach is actually something worth considering.
As mentioned previously, delisting 10 players each does nothing for equalisation. Most clubs won't suffer because they'll keep their best players and delist their worst 10, therefore you're just shuffling depth which does nothing.
Hong Kong is one of the most broken sides in the history of XVs, you can't salvage it with any other method other than a redraft, but a lot of current coaches wouldn't want to ruin their sides, hence wanting to only do a partial redraft that only fulfils a desire to have another draft, not to actually even out the comp.
I'm still waiting for someone to present a reasonable idea that will fix this comp and make it enjoyable, but I and many other interested onlookers have yet to see even one.
Who knows if Hong Kong gets a new coach or not. We will never find this out until there is a decision made and the team is advertised to see if a new coach is willing to take on the team. After that we can then vote as a league as to what measures can be given to the new coach to assist them in quickening up the rebuild. There are plenty of options. Maybe we give them the first 3 picks of the draft but make them trade them ala a mini draft from a few years ago in the AFL that saw Hogan go to Melb and Crouch to Crows etc. Or maybe, Hong Kong is one of the teams that gets dismantled. Whatever does get decided needs to be done by a league vote that includes only participating coaches moving forward.
If people are not enjoying the comp then fair play and they should leave. The whole idea of keeper leagues is enjoyment after all. But to hold up the league is not the right answer. Especially when trading and drafting periods are coming up. It should not be up to the other coaches to convince others to stay. Time to at least get confirmation of coaches intending to partake in 2019 and then to start finding replacements for the ones that leave.
I could turn Hong Kong around, just takes a Coach who knows what they are doing.
Some people would consider it a challenge, more rewarding then just taking over a ready made team.
Have you stopped to consider (something I've already said) that people might want to see what the decision is before they decide to continue on or not? I'm certainly in that boat. I refuse to commit either direction until the future of this competition is determined.
If you fellas really want the comp to continue, I'm sure between the three of you (FF, Rids, UTM), you could make this smooth sailing and run this ship with no issue at all, trading between your two teams and all.
Another part of what makes the competition is personalities and what they bring. Can't say I've seen much, if any, banter or discussion or much of anything since Colli and whatlez left. And now with tbag gone, that's another one man down. Instead, the only 3 people actively fighting for this comp to continue in some capacity are 3 of the most polarising characters for a variety of reasons. But hang on, Rids already gave up on admin of this comp for personal reasons, completely fair and so it wouldn't be right to put more back on his plate. Oh and FF has a history of ragequitting comps that he admins or is a part of That just leaves UTM, the guy with a reputation for being one of the most insufferable people in XVs.
I'm not out for blood here, I'm just dealing with facts and pleading for a future I can believe in, please show me something.
Of course people understand that others might be holding off until later but personally I do not think they get that luxury right now. AXV needs committed people as coaches. At the end of the day I cannot guarantee what the participation levels will be like moving forward. But what I do know is that sitting here while the comp is treading water going around in circles does not improve anything and if anything, it is more unproductive than productive.
I am able to take on more responsibility again in regards to admin duties. That won't be an issue now moving forward. But again, this is something that we as a league need to vote on.

Not improving things doesnt improve things either ::)
But anyway thats beside the point, i thought id already done it, maybe i had but i will officially resign from being coach of the mighty Gazelles. Ive struggled with time and motivation when it comes to AXV over the last year and im sure other coaches have noticed that. I hardly ever named my team properly and i dont think thats fair on the competition at all. I hope this comp is able to continue even if it means reducing a few teams or something.
It is tough to leave AXV.....and Titch. But this will be good for you, maybe the crabs will be able to grab Titch for a combination of a few depth players..maybe swallow and atley.
Thanks
I just want to highlight that I have never once ruled on a trade the Crabs were apart of when I was admin. This will continue moving forward if people want me to help out again with the comp. It is important for any potential new coach to know this.
Just for some understanding in regards to my previous personal issue that made me give up admin 6 months ago:
I spent 110 days in the hospital with my 15 week premature son after he was born at the end of Feb. I was also attempting to work full time through this period to make sure I could pay the bills associated. He has been home now for the better part of 3 months and the follow up appointments are slowly disappearing.
I have never once expected to just become admin again hence my comment in regards to the league needing to vote on it. I am just offering my time again for free to try and help out with getting AXV back on track. Happy not to do so if people don't want me to.

Is this an official vote of no confidence for nas and BB who really aren't doing a bad job? Not sure an admin spill is what this comp needs right now.

I have never once expected to just become admin again hence my comment in regards to the league needing to vote on it. I am just offering my time again for free to try and help out with getting AXV back on track. Happy not to do so if people don't want me to.
We need someone to take this forward, you get my vote.
Is this an official vote of no confidence for nas and BB who really aren't doing a bad job? Not sure an admin spill is what this comp needs right now.
Instead of telling everyone what the comp doesn't need why don't you tell us what it does need?
Assuming that nas and BB want to continue, I don't see why they would need to be replaced from an administrative point of view. AXV needs as many hands on deck as it can get, so adding a third admin, who has held administrative roles in the past, has no issues with me.
From a personal standpoint, I'm happy to continue with Mongolia for as long as the competition continues. As long as there is 8+ teams, I don't see why the competition couldn't remain alive. A small bunch of active coaches leaves really high-quality sides and hopefully a little more interest.

I just want to highlight that I have never once ruled on a trade the Crabs were apart of when I was admin. This will continue moving forward if people want me to help out again with the comp. It is important for any potential new coach to know this.
Just for some understanding in regards to my previous personal issue that made me give up admin 6 months ago:
I spent 110 days in the hospital with my 15 week premature son after he was born at the end of Feb. I was also attempting to work full time through this period to make sure I could pay the bills associated. He has been home now for the better part of 3 months and the follow up appointments are slowly disappearing.

Pretty sure I've already said that there needs to be several teams culled and either a total redraft or a partial redraft needs to happen. It's okay though, I wouldn't have expected you to read a word anyway.
If the latter happens, it's one where the bottom (4) teams are culled (any coaches of those teams jump ship) and the remaining bottom teams redraft from the culled teams, and then the top teams don't join until later in the draft so that the bottom teams get a fair crack at getting some decent players to make them more competitive and compete with OP teams like the Crabs.
Instead, we've got proposals and support to overthrow to the administration of nas and BB who aren't doing a bad job, and suggestions for coaches to have two teams each, along with all teams discarding 10 players (likely to be their worst 10) which means a likely shuffling of depth.
I might be interested in taking over a vacant team,would depend completely on what happens with fixing the comp
btw I think nas is a great admin he does a good job helping Holz with Euros so he is effectively helping admin 2 different XV comps

Is this a backflip, a contradiction or both?
I'm officially making myself an AXV coach from this point onwards. You can refer to me as the saviour of AXV.
This comp is a joke and I'm going to set it straight. What I say goes. I'm basically the boss now. Someone else will handle the admin duties of collating scores and all that shiz but I'm deciding what direction this comp goes in, what rules I want etc.
So what's going on here? Why did I get headhunted to come in and fix things? What needs fixing?
When I offered my services for admin, this was doing so in conjunction with the current admin if the league wanted. I am more than happy to give up some time to try and assist.
I really don't think there is much more for me to add to the conversation. It is going around in circles. The way I see it is as follows:
1. need confirmation of commitment for 2019 from coaches
2. attempt to find coaches to replace the ones that are leaving
3. decide on how to approach the new coaches and the teams involved:
option A - put all available team lists into a pool and allow the new coaches to select their new squads
option B - give priority picks to new coaches that inherit the teams that need them (coach then determines whether to trade or
hold)
option C - existing teams maybe have to cull their lists to a degree and a re-draft can commence for all teams from there
4. start the trading and drafting periods later than usual
Whatever happens, all I know is that the comp needs to decide on what direction it takes quickly. Stalling this decision is not a good idea as it will impact the trading and drafting periods.
I really think there isn't heaps wrong with the comp and it just requires a little bit of TLC and the right coaches to be involved.
Alrighty, here are my thoughts/where I think we are currently at. Sorry I haven't been more active in this thread the past week. It is quite a busy time for me at the moment, and I have been keeping an eye on the thread, but haven't quite had the chance and time to collate my thoughts properly.
Firstly I think the thread has a bit of a tense atmosphere at the moment. I'd encourage everyone to chill out a bit and not take things too seriously. Yes, we do need to have a conversation about where the comp is headed, but it's not the AFL we're a part of here, and any talk of an admin spill is unnecessary, and unhelpful for our discussion; if anyone wants to come on board and help with running aspects of the competition, they are more than welcome to.
I think that either in this thread or by pm I have received an intention of each coach for whether or not they would like to continue on with the competition going forward. We definitely have enough interest to keep the competition going. One I am not sure on is tbag - does anyone know if he will be returning to the forums at some stage soon?
I have had 9 coaches give a definite yes that they want to continue with the competition. The other teams are as follows:
Vacant Coaching Position
- Hong Kong Dongs
- Kathmandu Eskimos
- KL Crocodiles
- Taiwan Dolphins
- Turkey Gazelles
Before we go any further, I'd like to thank the coaches for these clubs for their contributions to the competition over the seasons they have been with us. Sorry to see you all go, but definitely understandable.
We also have the following 2 teams where I am unsure if the coach will be continuing with the comp at this stage
- Laos Elephants
- Tibetan Llamas
So with a core group of 9 coaches that are still committed, I think we will definitely have some form of competition running next year. The question is what form that should take.
Personally I feel it is worth seeing if there are any FF members that would like to come on board and join the comp first. I also think we should bin the suggestion of a coach being in charge of more than one team. At the very least, there is a perceived conflict of interest in that situation.
For now, I will be creating a thread to ask for expressions of interest for coaches to join the AXV. In the mean time, I would like suggestions on what coaches who want to be a part of the competition going forward would like to see. To help steer the conversation in the right direction, I've put together a little template below of a few questions I would appreciate answered.
Do we need action to address the evenness of the competition? - E.g. redraft, dissolve some teams, points cap
If we are unable to find enough coaches to stay at 16 teams, how should we divide up the players from those teams across the remaining teams?
What process would you like to see for trade approvals?
Are you happy with the AXV scoring format? Is there another you would prefer to see?
Finally, what else would you like to see change with the AXV? What would make you more likely to post on the boards each week during the season, and be more active during the offseason?
I'll also add that now as we are using UF to collate our scores, I am happy for our team submission format to be relaxed and for coaches not be required to use our current team submission template. I know this has been an aspect of the comp a number of coaches have wanted changed for a while, so hopefully that is at least a small concession!
Finally, I want to say that running and participating in this comp should all be about having a bit of fun with other people who like to take their fantasy football a bit more seriously than regular SC or DT. It's all about us enjoying the game, so please let us know what would make it more enjoyable for you, with any specific suggestions you have.

Im happy to keep going if we can get it sorted
Just adding my answers here.
Do we need action to address the evenness of the competition? - E.g. redraft, dissolve some teams, points cap
People will say because I am co-coach of one of the top teams that I am biased no matter what I say to this. But the fact is that I took over a team in Grope Lane (BXV) a few years back which was also a basket case and took on the challenge of doing a proper rebuild. While it doesn't often happen straight away, it can be done within a few good preseasons of trading and drafting. I hate the idea of a points cap and also doing a full re-draft. Nostra and I drafted very young when AXV was started and we are only just seeing the Crabs become an ok team. There hasn't been domination at all this season by any team and the top 8 was actually very competitive overall.
If we are unable to find enough coaches to stay at 16 teams, how should we divide up the players from those teams across the remaining teams?
My suggestion here is that if we find say 4 new coaches, then all the players from the teams go into a pool and the new coaches draft their teams from that pool.
What process would you like to see for trade approvals?
The trade approval process just needs better clarification imo. Trying to value a young player's worth is often subjective and objective and can change between admins. Last year I remember Nas and I had totally opposite opinions of the value of Aaron Francis, a former top 10 drafted player who took a couple of years to get his head in the right space for senior AFL. By having a few guidelines it might actually make it easier for the admin to rule on trades more evenly.
Are you happy with the AXV scoring format? Is there another you would prefer to see?
I really like the scoring format and the fact it is different from the other comps. Having said that, I wouldn't be against adding to it to help make the defenders a little relevant.
Finally, what else would you like to see change with the AXV? What would make you more likely to post on the boards each week during the season, and be more active during the offseason?
I personally think that during the off-season the activity levels are decent. It is more the in season where it disappears and that is probably due to the fact that UF has the updated scores rather than people coming on fanfooty and doing their own calculations. I have seen a weekly preview of the match-ups generate discussion in other comps. Even a few more in season comps eg: Eliminator might work. I don't think it would be a bad thing to try different things every now and then time permitting.
Do we need action to address the evenness of the competition? - E.g. redraft, dissolve some teams, points cap
No, if there needs to be more priority picks to help the struggling teams then let's do it. There will never be a comp where all the teams are even.
If we are unable to find enough coaches to stay at 16 teams, how should we divide up the players from those teams across the remaining teams?
Put the remaining players into a draft. The lower ranked teams get the higher picks obviously.
What process would you like to see for trade approvals?
I thought it worked okay. People will always disagree because we see players differently.
Are you happy with the AXV scoring format? Is there another you would prefer to see?
I think there has been some grumbling regarding the scoring system, i think the defenders need another way of scoring.
Finally, what else would you like to see change with the AXV? What would make you more likely to post on the boards each week during the season, and be more active during the offseason?
Maybe just some extra scoring for the defenders and i would like to see the bottom teams get priority picks.
I would like to see coaches post their team properly, just naming players last names and nicknames makes me think they don't give a crap.
Im not sure how you can get people to post more during the season? Eliminator might work aslong as Admin are okay putting in the extra time.
I don't know if there's anything i would want to do apart from the norm (trading/drafting) in the off season as i use that time to regenerate for the next season ahead.
Sorry to be painful but this comp needs to get rolling again guys.
I am more than happy to assist if required to keep the comp moving.
Do we need action to address the evenness of the competition? - E.g. redraft, dissolve some teams, points cap
i think the current teams are ok, if it came to a full redraft I would also be ok with that, since that is my fav part of the process!!
If we are unable to find enough coaches to stay at 16 teams, how should we divide up the players from those teams across the remaining teams?
Lets do our best to find the coaches, but otherwise lets just redraft the players into the league teams in a separate draft before the Nat draft.
Not sure what the list numbers are currently, but would prefer if we could do this draft and then delist players rather than the other way around.
What process would you like to see for trade approvals?
I like the process where trades are automatically approved, unless 'X' coaches voice concern, it then gets put to admin, if consensus cant be achieved between those parties, then all coaches vote on the trade and thats the pass/fail moment.
Cant see it getting to that too often.
Are you happy with the AXV scoring format? Is there another you would prefer to see?
Happy with current format, its different enough to make it a unique comp.
Finally, what else would you like to see change with the AXV? What would make you more likely to post on the boards each week during the season, and be more active during the offseason?
I like the idea of an eliminator? depending on list sizes etc we could run a reserves comp, wouldnt have to be too complicated, could be run as a separate league on UF to make the scoring etc less time consuming for the admins.
just a note as well, I am off on holidays for 10 days, may log on from time to time, but wont be around much for the next two weeks
Well at this stage it looks like there is not a great deal of interest in any additional coaches joining the league next season, with no replies to the EOI thread I created calling for coaches to fill our vacancies.
I know a couple of coaches have mentioned in this thread that they know of some other FF members that may be interested in joining the comp. Please get in touch with these people and let me know if they are interested in joining.
I'll leave it for a couple more days, and at that time we will look at what numbers we have, and make plans for how we will go about splitting up the remaining teams without a coach left.
On FanFooty when the AFL games have live scoring, it shows DT, SC and MB(moneyball).
I don't know what formula they use, but MB scoring could be an option if we do want to change that side of things.
wow, its a bit rough, I have been away and it would appear we are in the same state as when I left a week ago?
I have sent out a pm to all our continuing coaches, and will post it here as well.
Hi everyone,
Sorry for taking so long to get things moving here again. It has been a combination of being time poor, and waiting to see if there was any interest from others in joining the comp.
From my calculations we have 10 teams to keep going next year, as listed below. If I have included you and you are not interested in continuing, please let me know so we can try to find others. 10 is a nice enough number to continue with I think.
- Australian Ales
- Bangkok Crabs
- Bangladesh Bears
- Manila Folders
- Kathmandu Eskimos
- Mongolian Lambs
- PNG Head Hunters
- Sri Lanka Strikers
- Vietnam Vipers
- UAE Tigers
In moving to a 10 team competition there are a few main things to decide. Firstly is if we change the number of players we name each week. Personally I would prefer to keep it at 15, but this could potentially change.
Second is how we split up the remaining teams. The easiest way will be to throw them all into a big draft pool. Draft order could be done based on this year's ladder position, or a lottery.
We could also look at completely redrafting all teams, if coaches are open to that, but personally I would prefer to keep the bulk of our teams as they are.
For now, I am going to ask coaches to vote on the below to get the ball rolling so we can keep moving forward with the comp. I would also like you to reply to me with any rule changes you would like voted on for next season (and also feel free to post these on the board), and at the end of the week I will send out further rule changes to vote on. Hopefully at this time we can look at starting our drafts as well.
QUESTIONS TO VOTE ON:
#1 - Should we increase our number of players on field? - Last year there were 240 players on field each week
Field breakdowns for increasing numbers are suggested - There would be a further vote to confirm these if we decide to increase number of players on field
A - No, stay at 15 - 150 players on field each week
B - Yes, increase to 18 (5,5,1,5,2) - 180 players on field each week
C - Yes, increase to 20 (5,6,1,5,3) - 200 players on field each week
D - Yes, increase to 22 (5,6,2,5,4) - 220 players on field each week
#2 - How will we divide team lists?
A - Draft with player pool comprising teams without a coach
B - Draft with entire player pool, effectively resetting all lists
C - Other system (Might be something better I haven't thought of, please specify)
#3 - If we proceed with a draft, how should pick order be determined?
A - Random lottery, repeating order
B - Random lottery, snaking order
C - Reverse ladder order, repeating order
D - Reverse ladder order, repeating order
E - Other
Cheers all
Hello, I am still interested in continuing, which may seem contrary to the way a lot my recent posts around here have read.
To clarify, I was simply engaging in robust discussion with the few coaches that actually took time to do the same because I thought it was healthy for the comp to have someone bringing up devil's advocate like scenarios and calling people out on what were quite frankly some very odd suggestions and statements.
So yeah, Laos Elephants can be added to the list above, whether that means another team drops out, or another coach is talked into staying (or a coach is found to replace them, therefore granting the ability to have 12 teams).
1 - The whole point of these comps is the XV. That's 15. Don't change the traditional format just because there are fewer teams. I don't think there's any debate needed on that. If coaches in this comp want anything else, they're in the wrong comp.
2 - Losing 4 or 6 teams in this competition is a big deal, especially when you consider the calibre of teams being culled. There are some huge names available as a result of departures and while it means the draft pool is strong, there's a clear issue here in that there are still some strong teams already and the rich will get richer. Simply as an example, Bangkok already has genuine A-graders that would start for literally every other team not even in their XV and a few not even in the 18 they name. The depth of the pool means they'd probably add to their depth with even more quality.
It's obviously hard for some coaches to part with their teams and lists that they've built and grown fond of, but this is a chance for this competition to truly reset and become something other than a joke. It may not get back to it's glory days, but it will at least give it some life and make things a bit more interesting, plus just about everyone loves a draft and it's good challenge to sort out the men from the boys. I implore every single coach to seriously consider what is best for the competition, and not just think along selfish lines.
3 - If the complete redraft is chosen, which I think it should be as the clear best option for this competition to move forward, then the draft order has to be randomised, and it has to snake. That's as fair as fair can be.
Also as an aside, while we do use the original Sportsbet scoring system (through UF), we really do need to make defenders at least a little more relevant. Forwards have their way of being more relevant, so why can't defenders? There's such a dramatic gap between the best defenders and the others that something really must be done. This would have to be decided prior to any drafting as well, as I'm sure it would influence drafting strategies one way or another.
Good to see you're still keen in sticking around Nige, that brings us up to 11 teams committed for next year. Really we do need an even number of teams going forward, as an odd number makes fixturing and the like a nightmare. I'll do a bit of active work to see if we can secure a 12th coach.
Thank you to those coaches that have also responded to me in quick time, shows that we still have a decent amount of activity left in this comp!
I should mention that in the message I sent out to all coaches, option D for #3 should have read 'Reverse ladder order, snaking draft'.
Since a few coaches have brought up the subject, it's also worth bringing up that we currently have a priority pick rule that reads as follows:
"Teams finishing with 4 wins or fewer (16 premiership points or fewer) in a single season, will receive an additional draft pick following the first round of the national draft. If this occurs two seasons in a row, a team will achieve an additional draft pick prior to the first round of the national draft. (This rule will be effective starting with the 2016 Season)."
This would mean that for this year's national drafts, Hong Kong would be in line for picks 1 & 3 after finishing with 4 wins or fewer for the last 2 seasons. Mongolia would have an additional pick at the end of the first round, after having less than 4 wins this season. Once we decide what drafting we are going to do, we will have an additional vote to see what priority picks are given out for our drafts.
I'll also add that with just over half of our coaches having voted on the above questions, it is just about dead even on whether we are looking at a full redraft or just splitting up the teams that leave the competition. Your vote definitely counts!
In regards to the other rules people would like changed as well, now is the perfect time to start some discussion around them, so by the end of the week we can vote on all rule changes for the competition going forward.
In nas' thread, I am keeping a post with all current rule changes we are looking to vote on. Currently we have in there:
- Additional points for defenders
- Priority picks for lower teams
Any suggestions for how these rules should work/change, or any other rules you would like to change, please start discussing now.
Just to give an update on where we at, there are still about 4 teams that have not put in any preferences for the above vote yet. I have sent a reminder to all these coaches.
I will give them a couple of days, and if they have still not responded by them, we will move forward based on the votes we currently have.
So what is the verdict? It's time to move forward ☺
10 Teams, 22 players. 6 Def, 5 Mids, 1 Ruck, 6 Fwd and 4 Utilities. Along with 3 Emergencies.
Every AFL player goes onto a list, so we'll have bigger squads to name a team each week. Play each other twice, with a Top 5 Final series.
This is XVs. The XV literally stands for 15. The traditional team format is the last thing that the should change.
After having most of our coaches vote, here are our results on how we will go forward with the competition.
#1 - Should we increase the number of players on field?
- A - No, stay at 15
- This option was a clear winner. A couple of coaches were in favour of increasing numbers, but most happy to stay at 15.
#2 - How will we divide team lists?
A - Draft with player pool comprising teams without a coach
- Again this option was a clear winner. A couple of coaches wanted to go down the route of full, or close to full, team re-drafts, but the clear majority wanted to stay with the teams they have drafted.
#3 - If we proceed with a draft, how should pick order be determined?
C - Reverse ladder order, repeating order
- This vote was much closer, with considerable support for nas' proposal of the bottom teams picking multiple times in a row before the top teams get a pick. However, the majority went for reverse ladder order in repeating order (effectively the same as we would do for a regular National Draft), to help the bottom teams become a bit more even.
Where to next?
- So at the moment we have 11 committed teams. I am still working on trying to get a 12th coach to join our ranks, which will hopefully have some progress soon. The idea would be that this coach will get a choice of which of the available teams they would like to take over. The rest will then go into a draft pool, which will have a repeating reverse ladder order. There won't be additional priority picks in this draft.
- This leaves us in a bit of a holding pattern until we are able to source another coach and allow them to choose a team. In the mean time, if there are any other rule suggestions for the coming year, please post about them now. As of now, the only rules we have to vote on are extra points for defenders, and if we need to change priority picks.
- I realise that not everyone will be happy with the way this vote has gone, and there were some passionate arguments I saw on both sides around the scope of drafting for us to undertake. Passionate discussion is good around these areas, but let's make sure we don't get personal :)
I've been pretty vocal about the state of affairs, and I get that the vote has taken place and results are now about, but I'd still like to voice my concerns again. It won't happen tonight, because I need to put a little bit of work into it, but tomorrow morning I intend of making a post detailing the issue I have with the result of vote 3.

This is XVs. The XV literally stands for 15. The traditional team format is the last thing that the should change.
Shock horror, princess disagrees.

This comment doesn’t really help with what we are trying to achieve!
Excellent news BB.
Hopefully coach No.12 can be found soon and we can get into the fun stuff.........drafting and trading.
Not sure when McBasketball-peter will be on next? hasn't been on for a little while. I sent LF a message to see if she was keen as she did express some interest a while ago. But that may have been if we reset the comp? Anyway i will wait for a response.

So the admin literally says "don't get personal" and the first thing you do is get personal? Settle down big man. I'm gonna assume you're probably double my age, so show some class and maturity and don't act half of it.

#1 - Should we increase the number of players on field?
- A - No, stay at 15
- This option was a clear winner. A couple of coaches were in favour of increasing numbers, but most happy to stay at 15.
Huh, looks like the majority agrees with princess. Who would have thought?! :o

Oh okay, so now you're being purposely inflammatory? Would be awful to lose more coaches/teams because of this kind of toxicity. Teetering on borderline reportable behaviour if you ask me. And mods don't take kindly to people being inflammatory either. Just ask the likes of tbag and Trindacut, oh wait...
some would say at least its an active AXV board......

That's half of your posts.
Alright, here goes. There's a lot of parts to this post, so I'm gonna break it down quite a bit. Should hopefully make the point clear as well. Didn't have the time to do it before the original vote, but maybe if people can see what I mean, the admins might consider putting nas' idea to vote against the winning option from vote 3.
I think it's important to start with the ladder as it's an important part of this whole thing. Below is the ladder at the end of the home and away season, with W-L and points for. You'll see why this matters shortly.
1: Tibet | 14-5 | 35769
2: Sri Lanka | 14-5 | 34996
3: Bangkok | 14-5 | 36403
4: KL | 13-6 | 35858
5: PNG | 12-7 | 34208
6: Bangladesh | 11-8 | 33997
7: Taiwan | 11-8 | 33736
8: Manila | 11-8 | 33296
---
9: Laos | 11-8 | 32043
10: Turkey | 10-9 | 32976
11: UAE | 8-11 | 32012
12: Vietnam | 6-13 | 30499
13: Kathmandu | 6-13 | 31378
14: Australia | 6-13 | 29530
15: Hong Kong | 3-16| 29187
16: Mongolia | 2-17 | 28437
Added up all the points for totals, the average ended up being 32,770
Now consider this, the 5 teams currently in limbo are: Tibet, KL, Taiwan, Turkey and Hong Kong.
Ladder without those teams:
2: Sri Lanka | 14-5 | 34996
3: Bangkok | 14-5 | 36403
5: PNG | 12-7 | 34208
6: Bangladesh | 11-8 | 33997
8: Manila | 11-8 | 33296
---
9: Laos | 11-8 | 32043
11: UAE | 8-11 | 32012
12: Vietnam | 6-13 | 30499
13: Kathmandu | 6-13 | 31378
14: Australia | 6-13 | 29530
16: Mongolia | 2-17 | 28437
So 3 top 8 teams teams and 2 bottom 8 teams gone.
And our magic number? 32770
I'm sure you've noticed that the top 8 teams are fairly comfortably above it. "Oh, but Nige, what about the fact Laos also finished 11-8?" Well, here's the thing, that was luck. We were lucky to do that well if you look at my weekly scores, there was pretty serious fluctuation. Consider that the points for difference between Manila and Laos was 1253, that's significant enough in my book.
The next thing I wanna look at is the lists. Lists of both teams groups here, the lists of those in limbo and the lists of those still in the comp. The former will be our player pool for the draft minus one team at this stage, assuming a coach is found. The emphasis is gonna be on XVs here.
I'll start with the 'best XV' of each of the teams without a coach at present, I guess this might help the incoming coach decide on the team they want, but it is what it is. I'm using averages according to UF, taking into account players already delisted/retired and likely/assumed positional changes. Also common sense, and the likelihood of a player being best 22. Player average in brackets.
Hong Kong
Houston (95), Byrne-Jones (94), Bowes (85), Hardwick (84)
Dunkley (126), Conca (98), LTaylor (96), Hewett (84)
SMartin (120)
Robinson (117), CCurnow (104), McKernan (103), LRyan (82)
Rayner (79), Gardiner (78)
KL
Shaw (116), BSmith (98), Hibberd (88), Broad (61)
Beams (138), Ablett (136), Sidebottom (133), Pendlebury (131)
Grundy (144)
Franklin (135), Menegola (132), Darling (111), JThomas (100)
JSelwood (131), TKelly (116)
Taiwan
BHill (107), ZWilliams (103*) Maynard (98), Houli (95),
Coniglio (147), Lyons (126), Steele (124), Heeney (122)
Kreuzer (99)
TMcDonald (128), JCripps (113), Cutler (113), Caddy (112)
Fiorini (122), Ebert (118)
In the case of Williams who is definitely best 22 but was injured for 2018, 2017 avg was used
Tibet
Laird (135), Blakely (117), BWilliams (106), Scharenberg (93)
Macrae (157), ABrayshaw (138), MCrouch (131), Neale (126)
Gawn (132)
Mundy (119), Boak (116), Wingard (110), TTLynch (106)
Viney (118), JPKennedy (116)
Turkey
Hurley (108), Salem (105), BEllis (95), TLangdon (95)
TMitchell (166), Dangerfield (140), Duncan (132), JAnderson (100)
OOP Ruck (45)
JCameron (114), BBrown (100), Dixon (96), Patton (93)
Sheed (97), Aish (93)
Turkey don't have a best 22 ruck on their list, so I've just assumed a rough OOP score
So what conclusions can we make from this? Well, whatever way you look at it, the draft pool is going to be absolutely stacked. That's just 60 players (when one of those teams is taken), not including some of the depth players which are good enough to make the XVs of most teams. I'd take a majority of the 75 players mentioned above on my list and put them in my XV in a heartbeat. For the sake of the argument, I'm assume Tibet will be chosen by the new coach. So if you put the 60 remaining players in a draft pool, and there are 12 teams drafting, that's 5 rounds. A linear draft has been voted in, so keep that in mind.
I'm going off averages here, not positions, even though that's a likely factor when people will pick, or presumably anyway.
1: TMitchell (166)
2: Macrae (157)
3: Coniglio (147)
4: Grundy (144)
5: Dangerfield (140)
6: ABrayshaw (138), Beams (138)
7: Ablett (136)
8: Franklin (135), Laird (135)
9: Sidebottom (133)
10: Gawn (132), Menegola (132), Duncan (132)
11: Pendlebury (131), JSelwood (131), MCrouch (131)
12: TMcDonald (128)
Top 12 averages displayed there, with players who shared the same average ranked together to account for the choices that could be made. All up, that's 18 players. However, I crossed out the 5 players in the Tibet team under the assumption they're taken. With the exception of Macrae, they all share an average meaning the order barely changes. Dunkely and Lyons (126) are the next two for what it's worth.
Now we move on.
I'm taking the top 3 teams from the ladder without the 5 teams above. I'm also taking the bottom 3 teams as well. Also naming some players of note from the top teams not getting a gig that might at other teams, just to highlight what I feel is a bit of an issue.
2: Sri Lanka | 14-5 | 34996
3: Bangkok | 14-5 | 36403
5: PNG | 12-7 | 34208
Sri Lanka
Simpson (124), Suckling 114), McVeigh (101), Johannisen (99)
ECurnow (131), Ward (124), Bontempelli (124), Sloane (118)

PNG
Seedsman (105), TStewart (104), Crozier (97), LMcDonald (91)
Oliver (140), Hunter (135), Heppell (133), TPhillips (124)
Witts (111)
Billings (111), Neal-Bullen (107), Parfitt (101), Gresham (101)
Rockliff (110), Atkins (106)
Not named: Stanley (99), Cunningham (99), RClarke (90)
Summary: It's probably a bit unfair to drag PNG into this because they had 2 less wins and 778 less points that the next best (Sri Lanka) in that top 3, not to mention they barely have the depth. However, if you look at the other two, there are some good names and averages missing out there. According to the list I made above, players 11 and 12 are Pendlebury and JSelwood. Obviously Sri Lanka or Bangkok could take a different position to recruit for a need, but it's still pretty crazy to think they could be getting a 130 avg player when one is already struggling to fit a 124 avg mid in. Obviously they could trade to fix the issue, but still, kinda scary to think. In both cases, the depth covers each line too.

Horlin-Smith (85), Guelfi (83)
Summary: I think there are some pretty glaring issues with all of these sides. Kathmandu scored a lot better thanks to having a solid captain like Gaff but depth on every line is dire and trails off before the starters even finish. Australia has a fair few older fellas and the depth isn't that great either, they also suffered from the coach naming players OOP for whatever the reason was and his general activity levels and attitude mean that I don't think there'll be an abundance of work done outside the draft. Mongolia got caught between a rock and hard place. Depth an obvious issue and missing key personnel for extended periods basically shows how they ended up 2-17.
I'm happy we've made way in moving on, but I've done my best to illustrate the conecern with facts and figures to hopefully shed some light as to why I've been so vocal, because apparently that's been upsetting a few people. All I've done is try to be realistic and help fix this comp the best way I can. Ultimately, my hands are tied because despite wanting the best for the comp, I'm still at the mercy of both admin and coach discretion.
TL;DR - Figure this is necessary, but hopefully people have actually read the post before getting to this. I encourage people to read the post and then give some thought to the situation and nas' idea. Maybe a bit of thought and consideration may result in a revote or else this was all for nothing, and if it is, so be it. At least I can say I tried, and you can't begrudge someone for that.
Additionally, I'm a little upset that I'm being attacked for just trying to generate discussion, I thought people would be above that. Especially consider some of the coaches here are older than I am and should therefore be more mature. I can't help but noticed the more vocals coaches have been from teams higher on the ladder. Maybe there's correlation between success and stature and acitivity, but I don't want to jump to conclusions. I hope we can have civilised discussion moving forward, I really do. This comp needs everybody, or at least a majority on the same page and at peace with the decisions, so hopefully that eventually comes to be.

I assumed he was just trying to stop other coaches from joining the comp by making it seem like all the current coaches were toxic cows
Probably done me a huge favour tbh, i almost put my hand up to coach!
Nige, thats a mountain of data, just so i can have a think , what was your suggestion on how the draft should we handled?
I must admit when I voted for the reverse ladder I did assume a more even comp

IMO the only way to improve is by letting the bottom 5 teams pick from the teams disbanded for 3 rounds then 4th round bottom 5 againbut add the 6th + into the draft. Top teams then remain strong but the bottom 5 improve

Yep, this idea of nas' is how I think it should be handled.
yeah well, looking at the top teams that makes more sense to even it out.
Can we go back to a revote or has the ship sailed?
How many people would alter their view now some solid evidence has been presented.
otherwise, can I leave Vietnam and take over Tibet!! :P
I'd be happy with this revised drafting method for the sake of evening up the comp.
I'll come back to be coach #12 if we can get this moving quickly. No point arguing about trivial things.

nice work Koop
Bangkok happy to go with Nas idea if it means we can get this comp back up and going again. We have always been very ok with evening up the comp which makes for much more interest through the season proper.
Im happy with what Nas has proposed in the thread
Keen to get rolling
Share the belief of many that nas' proposal has been well developed and justified, and should heighten interest for all parties going forward. Keen to get this done and dusted to allow for trading before the draft period.
Happy to go with nas solution.
Good post and analysis Nige!
Well, I must say the activity on here over the last couple of days is certainly encouraging!
Thanks to Nige in his efforts putting together that post, it looks like it changed the opinions of a clear majority of our coaching group over how to proceed with the drafts. While it would have been better to have it decided through the vote that was made, seeing as we have a clear majority that want to go along with nas' draft proposal (and it has admin support), we have decided we will move to that system.
It looks like most people are happy with what has been suggested, so I suggest you have a look at the 2018 Re Draft thread nas has kindly set up to see how the exact picks would work. If you have any serious qualms please feel free to send me a message to air things out.
Before the draft begins, I feel there are a couple more pressing needs that require a quick vote, as they have a material bearing on drafting strategy.
These are:
#1 - Team List Sizes
- Obviously with our drafting coming up, which looks like it will add 5 players to each list (along with our regular National draft in 6 weeks or so time), we are getting bigger list sizes. We need to decide if we will be increasing list sizes, or keeping with our current limit of 46, requiring some serious de-listings after this draft period.
- Off the top of my head there are a few main options:
- Keep list sizes at the current 46, requiring de-listings to be put in before the National draft period (this would be after a trade
period)
- Increase list sizes to 50 (makes a nice round number)
- Increase list sizes to 51 (means we keep the current 46 and add the 5 from the re-draft)
#2 - Extra Points for Defenders
- I did raise this one for discussion a little while ago after there were some voices calling for extra points for defenders to make them more relevant. There hasn't been a whole lot of suggestions here, so my thoughts were:
- Spoil = +2 points
- Rebound 50 = +1 or +2 points
- I think the points for spoils would make a nice unique point for the comp. I'm not so sure on the Rebound 50 one, and it is more just a suggestion, so feel free to shoot it down.
Feel free to discuss, or raise any additional options for the above rules. What I might do (and think might be the quickest/easiest way to do things) is leave the discussion open for 24 hours around these, and see if we have come to a clear consensus by this stage, like we did around the draft proposal. If not, I'll send things out for a more formal vote.
I like the idea of having list sizes at the aesthetically pleasing and easily remembered number of 50 players per side.
I decided to take a closer look at the effect on defenders that the proposed changes would make.
I chose,
Rory Laird, a fantasy premium who scores primarily through his disposals
Alex Rance, a typical key defender who currently has little to no fantasy relevance
Tom Langdon, who to me is a bit of a hybrid between disposals and defending, and...
Jack Macrae, who is not a defender!
| Laird | Rance | Langdon | Macrae |
2018 AVG | 135.1 | 76.8 | 94.7 | 157.4 |
+2 for a Spoil | 137.1 | 91.8 | 103.5 | 158.4 |
+2 for a R50 | 145.1 | 83.8 | 100.7 | 162.2 |
Combined | 147.1 (+12) | 98.8 (+22) | 109.5 (+14.8) | 163.2 (+5.8) |
Not too shabby! Though I felt the gap between a 'hybrid' defender such as Langdon and midfielder such as Macrae didn't close quite as much as it perhaps should have. Below is my suggestion...
| Laird | Rance | Langdon | Macrae |
2018 AVG | 135.1 | 76.8 | 94.7 | 157.4 |
+3 Spoil, +1 R50 | 143.1 (+8) | 102.8 (+26) | 110.9 (+16.2) | 161.3 (+3.9) |
Personally, this feels more balanced if the aim is to make defenders a little more attractive, however, it is completely open to interpretation as to where the averages should lie in order to genuinely reflect the value of a defender in fantasy terms. I'm keen to hear what others believe the system should be, but my suggestion would be +3 for a spoil and +1 for a R50.

Jack Macrae, who is not a defender!
| Laird | Rance | Langdon | Macrae |
2018 AVG | 135.1 | 76.8 | 94.7 | 157.4 |
+2 for a Spoil | 137.1 | 91.8 | 103.5 | 158.4 |
+2 for a R50 | 145.1 | 83.8 | 100.7 | 162.2 |
Combined | 147.1 (+12) | 98.8 (+22) | 109.5 (+14.8) | 163.2 (+5.8) |
Not too shabby! Though I felt the gap between a 'hybrid' defender such as Langdon and midfielder such as Macrae didn't close quite as much as it perhaps should have. Below is my suggestion...
| Laird | Rance | Langdon | Macrae |
2018 AVG | 135.1 | 76.8 | 94.7 | 157.4 |
+3 Spoil, +1 R50 | 143.1 (+8) | 102.8 (+26) | 110.9 (+16.2) | 161.3 (+3.9) |
Personally, this feels more balanced if the aim is to make defenders a little more attractive, however, it is completely open to interpretation as to where the averages should lie in order to genuinely reflect the value of a defender in fantasy terms. I'm keen to hear what others believe the system should be, but my suggestion would be +3 for a spoil and +1 for a R50.
Whatever we do will make premo defenders such as Laird even more valuable but what it did to Rance for example makes it the better option i feel, so many mids get consisntent R50s even if its only 3 or so a game
Yep, list size of 50 plus the latter of the two options FTC presented.
Yeah i like squad size at 50 but i don't mind either way.
Additions to defenders scoring sounds good. Thanks to FTCF for providing some stats on how players scores/averages could look after implementing the changes.
Yep option 2 of FTC is preferred

My thoughts as well.
If you add too much for R50 then you're just adding value to the only defenders that hold any value at the moment (such as Laird, Docherty, etc.), which kind of defeats the purpose.
50 and option 2 here

Well that was fairly easy!
With a majority support, we will be moving to a list size of 50 players, with spoils now being worth +3 points, and rebound 50s being worth +1 point.
Bear in mind current list sizes are 46, and we will each be drafting an additional 5 players through our re-draft coming up. The regular national and rookie drafts will follow as normal later in November as well.
Time to fire up this draft.
Hopefully we can knock this draft over fairly quickly.
Even with a shorter trade period, the Nat draft probably won't happen until at least January. Is that a fair assumption?
Edit: Forget that I thought it was November :) Never mind nothing to see here.. We should get the Nat Draft done in early December.

I'll get a thread up whilst the Re Draft is on for the Nd & RD so that we are ready in case of pick exchanges over trade period.

Yeah nice one nas. 27 degrees, daylight savings starting today and no footy on. I thought it was November.. Oh dear haha
Also, we are welcoming back Koop, who is remaining as coach of the Taiwan Dolphins! Thanks to Koop for putting his hand up to keep the comp moving along by allowing us to find a 12th coach.
Is everyone aware the re-draft has started? Do we need a PM out to the coaches?

Can we get a delistings/retirements thread please?
Just a quick one, isn't the draft order normally based on positions after finals, the same as the AFL?

We were bundled out of the finals in the first week so should be a couple spots earlier.

If you are not in the correct spot, maybe mentioning that before the re-draft started :)
Edit: Quick look, yep you should of been higher up. In front of the Folders and the Bears by the looks of it.
Originally the Strikers were 12th, since the order hadn't included finals. I mentioned it to nas and he changed it, but I didn't check the other spots.
So it looks as though for the re-draft we did use a draft order based primarily more on ladder position than finals position for our top 8 teams. Sorry to all that we did not pick up on this oversight previously.
Hopefully this has not impacted coaches' drafting in the redraft too much. One way to look at it is that the draft order ended up more reflecting points scored (as ladder positions and points scored lined up more than finals positions).
In this case I think the best way forward is to have the redraft stand as it is, to avoid redoing most of that draft, and moving forward we will alter the National Draft and Rookie Draft picks to reflect finals positions, as they have done each season so far.
In looking at how the draft order changed, I realise that my own team was benefited in moving up a couple of spots. Again, I hope it didn't make too much of a change for coaches, with only a couple of draft order placings being impacted.
This may be somewhere, but I couldn't find it. Now that we are a 12 club comp, what will be the Finals set up?

This is a good point to raise, we haven't actually set anything out yet for how the finals system would work.
Personally I'd probably be in favour of a 6 team finals series. That would probably look something like a 3 week finals series.
- Week 1 = 3v6, 4v5
- Week 2 = 1v4/5, 2v3/6
- Week 3 = Grand Final
It would definitely be good to hear other suggestions though.
The other thing to consider is if we want to play through the bye rounds. It has been a staple of AXVs over the years, but I know there are coaches who would rather have the weeks off, or maybe look at doing something like the WXV with the representative games.
It's also worth considering that our squads have considerably more depth now, and it might be easier to field a competitive team in the bye weeks.
That means no double chance for finishing higher on the ladder. How about a top 5 over 4 weeks like they do in the SANFL?
Assuming the highest ranked teams win their matches for this example
Week 1 = 2 v 3 in double chance , 4 v 5 in knock out
Week 2 = 1 v 2 in double chance, 3 v 4 in Knock out
Week 3 = 2 v 3 in knock out
Week 4 = 1 v 2 in Grand final
This is slightly more fixture-related, but given there are now 12 teams and we have 23 rounds to work with, here's what could happen.
Assuming we have a 4-week finals system, that's down to 19 rounds left to use.
There are 3 weeks of AFL byes so we then have 16 weeks if we don't play through.
So playing everyone once in the first 11 weeks and then we'd have 5 left. In those 5 weeks, we'd play the other 5 teams in our half of Asia (whether we divide it by north/south or east/west can be voted on or whatever.
Personally I rather a 4 week finals system, so I'd be happy with what UTM proposed in the post above.

Just in case admin aren’t aware, there are a bunch of players leftover from the 2017 drafts who haven’t been included as yet in the list of players available for this year’s rookie draft
Re above, current status:
Have transferred left over ND players to the RD page.
Added the players to team lists in Brown & in the Mids position for ease of checking. Will rearrange once positions are known.
Awaiting a date for cut of re Retirements / Delistings as to remove from above.
Need to go through 2017 left over players & add to the RD. **Added**
Remove the non contracted / retired players from RD.
Discuss the following: PreSeason draft pool & Pre Season Supplemental Selection players.
Then think (unless missed anything) commence the RD.
Well with BB being absent since 2/12/18 being a good 6 weeks, looking very grim re his status as Moderator as well as coach?
This morning I received a notification from FootballFactory officially resigning."Quote> Hey nas, i'm done with AXV mate, sorry but i just don't like these comps anymore. Won't be joining any in the future. <Quote"
So now we are down 2 coaches by the looks of those above.
Understand we had a week of no FF forum due to server problems which also has meant that the RD didn't start on the due date as well.
So that's not exactly ideal considering the state of things. I think there needs to be another honest discussion about this comp's future, and all current coaches need to give some form of two cents so we know how everybody feels.
Here's some of the points worth discussing imo:
- As nas has mentioned, BB has been AWOL for 6 weeks. That's pretty concerning. It's part of the reason the RD got delayed. It happened without warning or anything and we have no alternative method of contacting him to find out what's going on. At this point, we're basically not only probably looking for a replacement coach but a replacement admin. nas and I are purely just trying to get things running along in case BB actually does back, but neither of really signed up to admin a comp and run things officially.
- FF has just resigned. This isn't ideal, but I think we can all understand it. In my honest opinion, if your heart isn't truly in it, you shouldn't be involved. FF has clearly decided that's the case here and we should respect that. This also means we have now two coaching vacancies, assuming worst case re: BB as well.
- This means we're down to 10 coaches for 12 teams. We just dissolved 4 teams and re-drafted a bulk of their players. I don't think cutting down further is a good idea and going through another re-draft is also not a good idea.
- Obviously this means we need replacements. General forum activity and desire to join these comps has pretty much been on a pretty big downward trend for a while, that's pretty clear to see. Given the state of this comp, quite frankly I can't see a lot of appeal in anyone wanting to join it. Yes, going out and recruiting two people is a potential solution, but with where the comp is at, I think we genuinely need coaches who not only want to be involved, but are active. That's a pretty unlikely combination.
- Forum was obviously down for a while so the rookie draft just got pushed back even further. The intention was to start tomorrow, but with BB still absent and FF now having resigned, I think we need to seriously sort out what's happening with this competition.
Personally, and I'm usually rather optimistic, I'm not entirely sure if it's worth trying to keep this comp running of what would feel like support since it does seem like we'd be prolonging the inevitable. However, if the majority wants to keep it going then I guess that's what we have to do, and I'm still happy to stay on board.
With that said, I think people need to considering all the points above and make an informed decision and state how they feel because I know both nas and I have similar thoughts on the issues at hand, and if that's more widespread than just us, a serious decision will have to be made.
I enjoy the Comp but it feels like it’s going to be hard to keep going. IMO the biggest aspect of these comps running successfully is having Admin who have the dedication and more importantly the time to put into to running it. Everyone who has helped in running the Comp the last 2-3 years (and there’s been a few) has done an admiral job but no-one has enough time to fully commit to it.
Perhaps we could find a couple of new coaches and get the rookie draft completed, and if the Comp found a lifeline I’d be happy to stick around with the Head Hunters. However unless we find someone who has the time to fully commit to running the Comp, I just can’t see how it can keep going :(
I am back from holidays next week, so happy for the draft to start as soon as we find new coaches.
I am committed to this comp, just dont have the time to do the admin duties.
Having said that, if we made it a little easier on everyone by running via Ultimate footy then it wouldnt take up as much time as it could?
In all seriousness, comps cannot continue with multiple weeks of inactivity. I think the time has come for AXV to fold unfortunately.
So in the 11 days since my post, we've had 3 responses in this thread.
Rusty and Rids seem to share a similar opinion to nas and myself, so that's 4 of us in favour of calling for this comp to sadly die.
With BB and FF out the equation, that's 12 down to 10.
That leaves the followning coaches yet to weigh in in this thread.
UTM/Jay
JB
Coop
Ryno
Toff
If at least two of them agree that this sadly appears to be the end, I think we have to officially put it to bed.
Sorry I've been OS for a few weeks as notified.
Happy to continue but as Rids said, it seems that we don't have the activity levels to keep this going. I'd put my hand up to admin, but I've already quit quite a few keepers/classic formats in order to focus on an upcoming Law double degree this year, and that'd be pretty irresponsible of me, both to myself & everyone else. We also don't really have the active FF base to draw 2 new coaches from regardless. It's a shame, it's been a fantastic comp to be apart of for the majority of the last 7 years, but I think it's time to let the old girl down.
She's dead, Jim.
Short and sweet for me
The acitivty is just going to be less and less, and what we have 8 teams
If somehow in the next week or so we get the draft started and have 10 coaches or whatever ready to go it might be RIP
Dont get me wrong happy to continue but only if its sorted quick which now seems almost impossible
Sorry guys but again weeks with nothing. A decision needs to be made by the admin so we can all move fwd. I am staggered an outcome is still up in the air.

I mean, the actual admin is gone it seems.
I believe wanted an opinion from all the coaches, or a majority at the least. I stated a few posts above that we needed two more people to agree that it's cooked and Coop and Hawka have since agreed, so it's unofficially done, just no final word from nas but I know he's been busy lately.
I think if the remaining coaches can't even come in to give a short and simple then that's enough of a sign as well.
Presumably, once nas officially pronounces the comp dead, it'll just be up to HP to archive the board for official closure.
Hi guys, just a follow up to Rids' post.
It's now been over 2 months since BB has been online, the last time was on 2nd of December.
Does anyone know him IRL? and if so can you get in touch with him?
It's been so long I'm actually concerned for his welfare.
In the meantime though l think we need someone to step up and take the reins for this comp to remain viable.
Thoughts?
Cut down to 8 teams, play each opponent 3 times. Play through byes as is AXV tradition.
Two week finals series starting Round 22 comprising the top 4 teams.
I'm not sure if there's other facets to be covered, but if people find those suggestions agreeable, I could tentatively raise my hand to take on admin duties.
The reason i left was because apparently there was no need for a leadership spill, because the people doing it were more than capable. It went on for ages with nothing happening so i just got sick of it and quit. Now it seems the league doesn't have any admin because the people that were going to run it don't want to do it anymore. I am totally confused. But anyway i guess it has nothing to do with me anymore.

Go for it. Remove dead clubs and proceed with the rookie draft. Any players without a club can go into next years rook draft.
I see no easier option than a first in best dressed, so the first 8 people to claim their spot are in, other teams dissolved.
1. Mongolian Lambs
Strikers were not going anywhere even if the comp died. Pacific need someone to play in practice matches during the summer.
Vietnam are still flag favourite so we will continue as well!
I think it's a little disrespectful to the legacy of AXVs to further cut the comp down if that's what you people wanna do.
The remainder of you could always do a SC draft, or take it to UF permanently if you really want, but don't tarnish this comp any more than this shower show already has.
But I mean, if you're that selfish and have the insatiable desire to keep this thing on life support, you best working out once and for all who whether it's worth keeping this thing on its last legs for however long that happens to be, and work out who is actually in or out (FF for example seems to be practically impaled on the fence). That means getting an official yes or to both the questions above and then working out which of you is forking at $69.90 to customise UF (maybe FF could use his DT winnings since he's very committed to AXVs future), which seems to be necessary these days since nobody appears to have the time to put in the manual labour that Colli did to make this comp so great in it's heyday.
If you decide to keep going, you're just letting more quality players rot on the sidelines, which seems dumb, and don't even for a second consider expanding team sizes, because that doesn't solve a thing, and fielding more players goes against everything AXVs stands for, literally (XV stands for 15 for those playing along at home).
Also if anyone is genuinely concerned for BB's wellbeing (I know I am) and wants to message him, I think I vaguely remember his name so PM me and I can give it to whoever wants to try and attempt to contact him via Facebook, won't post it publicly.
Oh and the most important question is what's everyone's issue with nas and how he's done things to date? Man has been trying his hardest to steady the ship and now everyone wants to overthrow him and drastically change the comp.
Nothing to do with me but i'm more confused now than i have ever been ;D

I have no issues with nas' administration, there had simply been a bit of a lull in conversation regarding the competition so I threw up a suggestion as to what could be a potential option going forward - given we are quickly running out of time to get anything going.
Likewise, I have no intention to overthrow nas, I simply stated I could take on admin duties if existing admin(s) did not wish to participate in the competition.

The comp needs someone who can commit full time, so if you're willing to do that, then by all means go ahead.
However, based on the responses we've got so far, this is where I see each coach standing.
From what I can tell the people who can admit we've reached the end are:
- Nige
- Rusty
- nas
- Coop
- Hawka
- Rids (I think, but then nost his co-coach seems to want to continue?)
The other camp contains:
- FTC
- SR
- UTM
- FF (does he count considering he quit?)
Then other name not mentioned is JB, but he hasn't said anything about the situation.
So even if FTC's option somehow gained steam, where do you get 3/4 coaches from?
well for one I am happy FTC at least is trying something....
surely if someone offers to take over a few of the negatives will re consider?
there is still plenty of time, but since his post, this is the most activity the board has had in a long time.
I know you're desperate to kill the competition, but I would appreciate it if you ceased the constant anti-AXV comments, thanks Nige.
Nost and I are happy to continue with Bangkok if the league is to continue. But it needs to continue with admin that communicate. Weeks with nothing is not right esp with rd 1 fast approaching yet plenty to still be done.
Agreed, l have never said l want the comp disbanded.
I'm one of the original coaches and am bemused with my team being lumped into a group that apparently don't want to continue.

Nostra and I are on the same page. The comment I made was about the lack of activity here and more so in regards to the lack of admin activity. The comp cannot survive with the way it is going. People get busy which is fine but a minute post advising people this does not take much effort.
The comp has now been stagnate for far too long. I understand the situation that one of the admins has not been online for 2 months. But the comp needs to still be moderated. People are still waiting on a draft. There has been no trade period for months. There has been no indication of what is happening at all.

A simple "sorry l was wrong" would have been a lot easier than that spiel to justify yourself nige.
BB is gone(hope he's ok irl). nas doesn't seem to want to run it, if so then I'm not sure why rookie draft etc. hasn't happened yet.
If someone wants to run it, grab it by the scruff of it's neck and move forward. Otherwise progress will keep getting derailed.
I would suggest "build it and they will come" motto. Keep comp at 10 clubs and worry about coaches to fill spots later.
Caretaker roles can be used at clubs until spots are filled.
Ill come back if something actually happens :o i can be a caretaker as well if needed.
It's a shame Rids' offer to help out was rejected by nas and BB not all that long ago.
But if we have FF and FTC willing to step up that's fantastic, the comp can stay alive.
I still have mod permission for the comp so if people are ok with it I can get things rolling again.
Would love to hear from coaches if they would want me to do this as it will take a little effort.

Not rejected by BB or myself it was left for Rids to comeback at any stage of his own accord due to the newborn baby health & time factor.
I thought that doing what I did with in doing last season with the Mods helped so that the start of the rounds had the 2 threads set & ready to go asap as well as anything else to help, sure made some mistakes but tried my best.

I thought that doing what I did with in doing last season with the Mods helped so that the start of the rounds had the 2 threads set & ready to go asap as well as anything else to help, sure made some mistakes but tried my best.
I didnt get one message from you or BB in regards to my offer. It doesnt matter now.
AXV needs it's admin to be active and transparent moving fwd. No good blaming the lack of activity when admins dont post for weeks at a time.
Moving fwd we need to find out how many coaches are willing to commit to the season. Time to get the comp back on track.

A simple "sorry l was wrong" would have been a lot easier than that spiel to justify yourself nige.
You want to apologise and admit I was wrong for something I didn't do?
I feel like I keep getting attacked. I haven't made this personal even once, all I've done is state facts and help to try bring about some kind of resolution but everyone else keeps taking shots, thinly veiled or otherwise.

I can help clarify this if I'm allowed to say something. It's mostly repeating myself, but I think I need to say it again to clarify.
I want to start by making this abundantly clear: I don't want the comp to die, but I'm realistic in seeing that there's only so long you can circle the drain. This comp has been on life support for a while, and it really is time to pull the plug.
All this conversation in this thread plus the conversations I've had privately, suggests to me that there simply aren't enough numbers to keep it going.
Let's not forget that we did have 16 coaches. We lost tbag, Rico, Zander and Atto. Then we re-drafted. After that, FF quit. Then BB disappeared.
That has brought us to 10.
From the 10, I see at is being split (from where I stand)
On one side you've got:
nas
Nige
Rusty
Coop
Hawka
The other side appears to be:
UTM
Rids/nost
SR
FTC
The unknown:
JB
FF
It's important to remember that JB hasn't said a word this entire time, so it's hard to know where he truly stands, he's never showed any signs of wanting to quit or give away a team though, but I think someone needs to get a definitely a definitive answer from him, as I've been saying the entire time.
FF has a history of quitting, that's a fact. Good coach, evidenced by his RDT win, but clearly something about these leagues is a struggle for him. He's been in ADT, ASC, WXVWs, BXVs and AXVs and quit all of them from memory. I'm aware he's said he's willing to rejoin if something gets going, and good on him if so, but I'm just reporting facts, not having a go at anyone here.
So that's 6 coaches at most. If you go from 16 to 6 coaches, surely that's got to count for something, has to be treated as a sign. Weight of numbers speaks volumes if you ask me.
From the conversations I've had with FTC, he seems like he's able to commit to running his 8 team idea. However, before he does that, he wants 110% commitment. Not only that, but no caretakers or any of that nonsense. His view would be putting the other 4 teams on ice and then having a year of this 8 team comp before bringing it back up to however many IF possible. There are two issues with this plan as I've pointed out to him and he's acknowledged.
The general trend of the forum and XVs has seen interest and activity drop pretty dramatically. That's a fact, you can't deny that. People are getting pressed for time, have lives of their own with work or whatever they do, it's hard to run these comps and the incumbent admins do a fantastic job imo because it isn't easy. All of them have basically been in the job for a number of years too, they haven't constant change.
Back on point, as mentioned above, cutting from 16 to 8 is insane as it is. There's already been one redraft. People have resigned, quit, disappeared. As time goes on, based on the current trend, it's only going to get worse. It appears AXVs is down to 4 definitely still keen, 2 questionables and 5 sadly willing to admit this is likely it.
I've seen the 'caretaker' idea brought up, but I've heard a number of people say it's a terrible idea and even then, there wouldn't be enough interest for that kind of role. Incumbent coaches being caretaker of another team is a conflict of interest, no matter how you spin it. You can vow to remaining impartial, but it's not fair or realistic to essentially have two teams, even if temporarily.
Also the fact that nobody is going to want to join a comp that's in this much turmoil. Blind Freddy would be able to see that. If coaches were to come in, they'd have to be experienced and active coaches, not people with no XVs experience or irregular activity.
The other issue is actually running the comp. It's a full time commitment basically, you can't half arse it. Anyone who has done admin work will tell you that. You either need someone you can rely on to work with you, and there needs to good enough communication between those running it, or you need to have enough time on your hands if running it alone. On top of this, AXVs has a reliance on UF these days and that costs money, not entirely sure that FTC is willing to pay. I believe Rids did last year and I presume is willing to do it again, but I imagine (this is an assumption and nothing more), if I was him, I wouldn't be doing it for a small number of coaches or until there was a proper decision made.
Ultimately, I would like to reiterate that I'm really sad that it's all come to this, AXVs is wonderfully unique comp and it's had some great moments, but in my opinion (which seems to be shared by several others inside and outside of AXVs), realistically, despite the desire of some to keep it going, there's just no future for this competition. Again, I don't want the comp to die, I don't think anyone does, but I've always been one to call a spade a spade and I really am not sure how someone is supposed to run a comp that's had this many hiccups and very obviously has dwindling interest, commitment and activity.
So once again, moving forward, if I was to give up some time and run the comp, who is willing to commit to coaching a team?
I know what has been posted previously but I am now after a new post to confirm their commitment or to resign as coach. After we get everyone's decision then we can decide what to do.
Sounds good to me Rids
I reckon you could ask peter-McBasketball if he wants a team, he was keen at one stage but Koop returned.
Agreed
If Rids want’s to give it another crack at resuscitating the Comp, i’ll Stick around for one more shot. Only if it stays at 12 teams though.

Ok. I will wait for a little longer for the other guys to make a comment. I will send a message if I dont here anything by afternoon. At this stage it looks likely we will have enough numbers to do a 12 team league.
Still waiting confirmation from:
Nas
JB
Hawka
BB (unlikely as he hasnt been online for months but will include for now)
Coaches that are in so far if 12 teams:
UTM
FTC
SR
FF
Koop
Nige
Nostra/Rids
Rusty
Just a quick update post.
We now have 9 confirmations. I have messaged Hawka, JB and BB.
I would like to wait for a couple more days to get a response from them before advertising for new coaches. Things are looking good currently with all coaches confirming they want to still be a part of AXV if there are 12 teams.
If there are any questions etc please feel free to post or message them. I will advise again later.
Cheers everyone for your patience. With a little luck we should be having a comp for 2019!
Nice one Rids.
No worries Rids :)
I'm still in. Good work Rids!
Count me in
We now have 11 confirmations. I know BB hasnt been online for a few months now but I would still like to give him a little more time to reply. If anyone has any way to contact him outside of fanfooty then it would be much appreciated as it would be nice to know he is ok.
Well done everyone.

Hey, we have had a heap of new members overnight, and they have been really active and posting, surely we could get them involved in AXV??

They would want to trade for Cox and Ryder
I will wait one more day. If there is no response I will put out some advertising for someone to take over BB's team tomorrow.
I have reactivated the AXV league on UF. I will post the invite link here tomorrow so people can rejoin the league.
Cheers all.

Sounds good :)
The UF link has now been messaged to the remaining 9 coaches who haven't re-joined the league yet.
I will be advertising BB's team for a new coach tomorrow. After everyone joins the league I will tidy up the team lists and reset the new league rules and settings to match up with 12 teams. It will take a little bit of work. I know we still have another draft to complete here so I will endeavour to get that going ASAP (prob mid-week at this stage). After the draft is completed then I think we should have a little trade window for the JLT comp.
As always, everyone is welcome to throw ideas around here and we can get a vote if need be. The focus though over the next week will be completing the draft and getting ready to get stuck into season 2019.
Cheers everyone.
Rids
I have now advertised the Manilla coaching position. If anyone knows anyone that might be interested then point them to the below link.
http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,112758.0.html
I am going through the team lists now and trying to tidy up the player's positions and confirm the numbers are correct for the upcoming draft. I will try and have them all up to date by Wednesday this week. As soon as we get everyone logged back into the league on UF then I will start there as well. This will not stop the draft commencing here however. I am hoping everything will be in place to commence the draft by Friday.
Thanks everyone for your patience.
Rids
Welcome to Peter to the AXV comp as the new coach of Manilla. I will send the UF link in the morning time permitting.
Next thing on the agenda is to complete the team lists and start the rookie draft.
Thanks everyone.
Congrats Peter, welcome to the comp.
Welcome Peter
I have sent the UF league invite to Peter now. We are still waiting for 2 teams to re-join - Kathmandu (Hawka) and Australia (JB).
As soon as everyone joins the league there I will start updating teams and list sizes etc.
The rookie draft should be fine to start in the next day or 2. We just got to add guys like Gibbons, Cottrell and Stack to the pool and verify that team list sizes are correct (something I am in the process of doing now).
Not long now till round 1 starts. I will endeavour to have everything ready in time for a short trade period prior to round 1 commencing. Thanks to all for your patience.
Rids
No worries, thanks Rids.
Thanks for the invite guys - had 8 teams last season in UF, but downgraded to 4 this season and now got to upgrade via Insider Pass. Obviously got the wrong degree as can’t find it on the UF site - does anyone have any clues?

Hi Peter.
Pretty sure you just try to add a new team and then an option will appear to upgrade to the season pass.

No dramas, all good. Maybe some leniency in pick times for coaches who don't know it's started.
S Murray(Coll) and Sam Murray(Coll) appear twice in the draft list (guessing it's the same person). Once in the defenders and again in the rookie section.
Draft is open!
In UF or here?
The link is in the messages I sent. The drafts always happen on the fanfooty forums. Please have a look through the AXV threads and become accustomed to how things are done.
Select Forum > XV Competitions > AXV Competition to see all threads that are active. Threads will become archived after they have been completed.
Thanks
Rids
The draft thread link is below. Please make sure to message the coach with the next pick.
http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,112244.0.html
Lambs and fanTCfool with pick 1.
The rookie draft is now over and everyone has full squads of 50.
I will be updating UF over the next week or so to get everything loaded up there as well. Round 1 is 2 weeks away. I am happy to do a week trade period starting from now. Remember though that if we do one it will be player for player trades only. Example - one player for one player, two players for two players, three for three and so on.
We will have a draw after UF has all the players and teams. I will also update the team lists by position here as well but UF will be the focus for now. Any questions feel free to ask.
Cheers.
Can we get some confirmation on two things?
First one is the submission format for teams. I think it was discussed and voted on that we'd do away with the old AXVs submission format, or at least it would be one of several accepted formats. It's always been a lot more tedious than the standard one used by literally every other comp.
In addition to that, and I can't remember whether this was discussed or voted on either, but could we also just have one thread for both submission and the 'match centre'? As long as there's a rule clearly outlined in the OP of each thread that teams need to be submitted in a new post if any edits are made, it's pretty easy for admins to keep track of. I say this as a member of every other comp on the forum and an admin myself.

We did 2 seperate threads last year so dont know why that would change this year. I dont really mind what format people post in. I actually liked the old one and will continue to use it. If we voted and the majority didnt want to continue with it then all good.
Anyone else care about it one way or the other that we need a revote?
Fairly sure it was voted on post-2017 with a split, meaning we kept rolling with the current, could be wrong though.
I'm honestly fairly indifferent, but I do like the traditional way more than some others.
I just copy and paste :-X .. and change it if there's an injury. I'm not fussed either way
I probably prefer the format that all other comps use, but not too fussed if we keep the current format.
I just had a quick look at it was 8 vs 8 on the naming of teams structure.
Happy to leave it as is or if people want we can do a re-vote.

12 team comp now, I think doing a re-vote is probably worth it.
If 4 people want a re-vote then we will have one otherwise with only 2 weeks remaing till rd 1 it prob makes sense to leave it as is and vote for the change for season 2020.
Please post here if you want to do a re-vote on the format for posting teams.
Just returning to these comments:

Things don't have to stay the same from year to the year. The reason I suggested it is because for a number of years now, particularly last year, the 'match centre' threads had little to no activity in them, and generally that activty only came after BB posted the results in those threads. I would have thought only having one thread and condensing everything (matchups, submissions, banter, results) into it makes it easier from an administrative point of view.

Because the decision is not up to me. It has been voted on when there were 16 teams and was 8 to 8. Granted now we have 12 teams so happy to re-vote if 4 people post here saying they would like it. I prefer the old format myself. People complaining about spending an extra 2 minutes to post a team can spend 30 seconds now to get a re-vote simply by posting re-vote.
Again, I dont see why there needs to be change with the 2 threads. Again flexible with the majority so will change it if needed.
There is only 2 weeks to go till round 1. Changes now should really apply to next season but happy to make an exception in this case.
fwiw, this is the post I was thinking about/referring to when I mentioned the change in submission format.
Quote from: BB67th on September 01, 2018, 11:45:49 PM
I'll also add that now as we are using UF to collate our scores, I am happy for our team submission format to be relaxed and for coaches not be required to use our current team submission template. I know this has been an aspect of the comp a number of coaches have wanted changed for a while, so hopefully that is at least a small concession!
I thought it had gone to vote, but it appears BB simply made the decision to allow it.
It went to a vote...

Looking at what has been discussed so far in this thread http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,108074.0.html thinking that we should set out a list in preparation for discussion prion to this 2017 seasons completion.
1: Removal of Rookie List, meaning squad of 46 players. Saying if this gets up will also mean removal of the LTI thread also.
Rookie list to be removed. Voting Results: Remove 10. Keep 5. Other 1. Total Votes 16.
2: National Draft rule 2hr & 24hr remains, but for the first round, if it goes over, you get the next allocated AFL drafted player. Also if you log on prior to the next coach pick, you can change the allocated pick.
National Draft rule 2hr & 24hr remains. Voting Results: Yes 10. No 4. Awaiting Votes 1
3. Points Cap, tho previously discussed & defeated.
Points Cap. Voting Results: No 11. Yes 4. Awaiting Votes 2.
4. Finalise squads after AFL Draft, meaning if players (who are currently on a AXV list) are delisted and get picked up. AXV Clubs will know before finalising.
Finalise squads after AFL Draft. Voting Results: Yes 9. No 5. Awaiting Votes 2.
5. Bidding process for returning AFL players, returning players who have been out of the AFL system for at least one year. They will not be on a current AXV list. The Club who last owned that player will get to match any bid prior to the AXV Nat draft.
Bidding process for returning AFL players. Voting Results: Yes 10. No 4. Awaiting Votes 2.
6. Team Submission, (A) Keep the current naming of team. (B) Submit the traditional way & as well use UF.
Team Submission. Voting Results: Current 8. Traditional 8
7. Players Positions, (A) Maintain the current Virtual Sports. (B) Adopt UF's positions at start of the season.**Note saying if this gets voted in, would then require another vote on to "Allow In-Season Updates."
Players Positions. Voting Results:
8. Play through the bye rounds, Play through or have all these nominated bye rounds off. Wording added "all these" to implement any others that may occur.
Play through bye rounds. Voting Results: Play through 8. Have off 8.
9. Leadership Group, In the week leading up to the first round of the season, each team must nominate 5 players on their list to form their leadership group. The Captain, Vice-Captain or Co-Captain's you select on any given game, MUST come from this group.
Leadership Group. Voting Results: Yes 3. No 12. Awaiting Votes 1
Have resent for voting Rule 2 to the coaches that have currently not voted.
Rules 3 4 & 5 feel that these need to be implemented prior to the seasons ending, so when the results from Rule 2 are in will send out rule 3.
With 4 rounds to go for the seasons end & then finals, these rules above will need to be voted on prior to trading & drafts.
Know that being harped on, but this way trading & drafting won't be held up.
Rule 2 has gone over by a majority & passed & will be implemented for the upcoming draft.
Rule 3 Defeated for the 2nd year in a row now.
Rule 4 Finalise squad after the Draft is in.
Rule 5 Bidding on players after a year out of system
PM will be sent out soon for voting on #6, #8 & #9.
**Note #7 is a 3 part vote so will be the last one sent.
Thanks for all that have responded.
Update: #6 & #8 are in the balance.
#9 Leadership group is defeated.
Rule #6 has come in even, so the current way of naming teams stays.
Rule #8 has come in even so we play through the bye rounds.
Rule #7 will be sending out soon to be voted on.

The vote was the last one taken from what I can see. BB or any admin should not be making any decision based on the comp. It has always been that there is a vote.
I am happy to send out a message and get a new vote on the team submission allocation format.
Just catching up, have voted on the format, and TBH i never quite understood the two posts for submission and match.
Most of the comps catch the banter in the one thread where it happens.
When the admin had more time maybe, but like someone said the match thread was a bit of a ghost town last year or so

Ahhh thank you, I was looking at the wrong threads.
I will be finished updating the team lists on UF this evening. Josh Williams is no longer on an AFL list so we will need Manilla to pick another player.
I will send Peter a message now and get that sorted.
Thanks everyone.
Peter has selected Josh Thomas as his replacement player.
I will update all threads accordingly this evening.
Nice work on UF Rids!

Hey Rids, any chance you can turn trades on in UF? I find it easier to get a good look at a deal when you can see the stats etc?

I will have a look in the morning but should be fine. I think I will also extend the trade period till midnight Saturday. I know there havent been any trades etc but keeping it open for a few extra days should not impact too much.
Trades have been turned on, on UF. All trades still need to be posted and processed here however. UF is just a tool to make life easier.
cheers mate. so if we have a trade approved here, do we process in UF or will you make the changes?

I will make the updates to UF to make sure they are done correctly.
Due to this trade period being so close to the start of the season, I think we should approach all trades as approved unless someone raises any concerns over any of them on the trade thread. It is too late to have a vote to decide how to do the trade approvals moving forward so just making an executive decision for now. If anyone has any issues with this please feel free to discuss further here.
I will have the round one threads up over the weekend. I will have a look at the draw that has been created on UF and see if appropriate. It is a little late to be doing too much this year.
As the newbie on the block, do we list the 15 man team in this thread or another (and list C, Vic & EVC)?

A team submissions thread will go up every week, you'll name your side for each week in the submission thread for that particular round.
Hey Rids, when will trades been passed, rejected?
Looks like the scoring system needs to be updated on the UF site.
All trades are passed unless someone complains. UF and the team lists here will be updated soon.

Okay cool, cheers Rids
AXV Update.
1. All trades have been processed on UF. This means all team squads should be correct on UF.
2. Team Lists per Position thread is still a work in progress here with updating the positions, the draftees selected and players traded etc. I will try and complete this before Thursday but this should not stop people being able to name their teams for round 1.
3. I will add the extra stats to the scoring on Wednesday. This will be done through the purchase of Stats Plus Package upgrade.
4. I have requested the team name for Manilla to be updated on UF to assist in avoiding confusion.
5. I have had a quick look through the fixture and to be honest, it looks ok to me but it might not be ideal moving forward after this year. I think we prob need to discuss how better to do the draw moving forward with only 12 teams. But for season 2019 it is what it is and we try and get this comp back up and running.
6. Thursday is a partial lockout for AXV this week. This means you are required to name captains and vice captains as well as Richmond and Carlton players prior to the first bounce on Thursday's game. Those players will then be locked into position. To update the team on Friday, please then quote the previous team and add the changes. I will manually adjust UF with all changes made.
7. It is not a priority to update UF for team selection. The source of truth will be the fanfooty thread. If you do update UF as well then it would be greatly appreciated by myself as it will save me a little time.
All the best for Round 1. Thank you to everyone for keeping the AXV comp alive for 2019. I think we can definitely make this comp work with a little patience and adjustment.
Regards
Rids
Thanks for getting everything going again Rids, great job mate.
Team Lists per Position has now been updated. Please check.

111 from Walsh in his first game, gotta be happy with that, was on the cards though.
UF should now have the correct scoring with 3 pts a spoil and 1 pt a rebound 50 added.
Please have a look everywhere and make sure everything looks right. It will be easier to fix now than in a month's time.
Cheers

What was decided on the Finals structure? top 5 or top 6?

Bump
Currently set up as a top 6 for this year. We can discuss further after the season after we see how it goes.
Just to make sure everyone is aware. Player positions are not UF allocated and will not change in season. They will remain as the same positions allocated by Virtual Sports/Champion Data for SuperCoach as per the below vote 12 months ago.
7. Players Positions, (A) Maintain the current Virtual Sports. (B) Adopt UF's positions at start of the season.**Note saying if this gets voted in, would then require another vote on to "Allow In-Season Updates."
Players Positions. Voting Results: Maintain 9. Adopt 6. Not Voted 1.
Wouldn't it be easier to have just the one match thread each week?

Probably but not my call. The league can vote on it after this season.
I am just following what has happened previously :)
I will have the match results up later today as well as the other threads. Sorry for the delay.
What about introducing a mid season draft? Something like 2 rounds based on ladder position(at time of draft).
Clubs would need to delist players to make room on their lists.
Bye rounds could be handled like WXV, match is played over two weeks and no match on the 3rd week.
A draft could be conducted in that 3rd bye round. Just an idea.
I am open to any ideas. I would much prefer to have the 3 weeks off this year and am happy to do so if people agree.
Then we can come up with something different at the end of the year for next year onwards.

I will give it till tomorrow and see what people think. We can adjust the draw etc accordingly if needed.
Nah Danger and Duncan are on, lets play!
Can't just decide not to play Byes a few days before they start. Surely an end of season vote is needed to make that change.

It is why I left it up to everyone to decide.
We will play thru the byes and then vote for next season as there is enough people wanting to play the byes as planned.
Hi everyone, just here to pass on a message from Rids.
He will be offline until the weekend, once he's back he'll get everything up to date again.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Cheers Nostra.
Apologies to all for the past few weeks. I had a massive release at work then the last 10 days have been looking after a 1 year old as my wife was overseas for personal reasons. I will start updating the match results starting from round 13 over the next day or 2.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
No problem and no rush

Bit of advertising - vacant ADT coaching position: http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,113329.0.html
Good afternoon to everyone.
We will need to open a discussion in regards to the future of AXV moving fwd. I was able to assist and get a hybrid comp for the 2019 season but the reality is that I will not have sufficient time to continue in the mod role. I will complete this season all the way through to the AXV grand final but it has become very challenging to find enough time on a weekly basis to do what is required and necessary for this comp to be run to it's full potential.
It is why I want to start the discussion early. The comp came very close to ending last year so we all need to chat and work out an approach if it is still viable to operate after season 2019.
Cheers
Rids
Forgot to post my team this week sorry everybody. Been at the hospital with my partner all weekend. Had time but completely forgot about it. Will get on today at some stage and see if i can help with the running of the comp?
The admin role isn't easy, I know that from first hand experience.
If someone does volunteer to take over from Rids, I just hope they genuinely have the time, effort and energy to properly put in. You really need to have the dedication and desire to be admin and deal with everything that comes with it (running the comp, dealing with people and everything in between). In essence, it's a full time role without technically being 'full time' (since we all have lives outside of the forum). So yeah, I implore whoever takes over, if anyone, to actually commit because god knows this comp needs it.
Not sure if i could run it, not a big fan of having to update stuff on 2 sites and having a different scoring format.
Manila Folders still going alright considering I don’t have a ruck and going in one short every week.
I 100% agree with Nige. To run this comp it requires someone with enough time on top of the required dedication to do so. There is plenty wrong currently so it will take a lot of effort to get the comp functioning as it should. Having said that, there is also a lot of reward in having a comp that is enjoyable. I wasn't prepared for the comp to finish the way it was heading in the off-season which is why I volunteered to at least have something for this year. At least if the comp doesn't go ahead in 2020 it would have finished on the right ending. A Premier that ends the comp instead of an off season that had stalled and then killed the comp off.
As much as I would love to continue running the comp moving forward, I just do not have the time between a young family and a very hectic workplace.
Might have to look at adopting one of AF or SC as the scoring platform and having a re draft :-X
I can help run the comp but i don't have the time to do it all the time. I wouldn't want to be farting around on Ultimate footy to update scores etc as well as FanFooty.
Changing the scoring system and redrafting destroys the essence of AXVs. And if we do that, it becomes a second rate (in literally every way) WXVs or EXVs which defeats the purpose of the comp existing, it’s the point of difference in the scoring system that brings people in. Most coaches are already in or were in another comp with the SC or DT system so I can’t imagine anyone wanting a duplicate.
And as Rids and I have both said, if someone doesn’t have the time, energy and effort to commit fully to the admin work, don’t take on the role.

Fair enough, not fussed really, whatever the majority wants to do ill go along with :)

Ahh okay
Sanctions
Ales
Official Warning.
Eskimoes
Official Warning.
Dolphins
100pts removed from the weekly total this week.
Reasoning for the above sanctions:
It was quite fortunate that Ales play Eskimoes this week and both teams will not feature in the finals. An official warning is suffice for now.
Dolphins however play a team that needs to win to play finals for this season. Unfortunately this does impact the league. Dolphins have not named a team for multiple weeks now. The loss of the 100pts this week will prob result in the team I co-coach not making finals this season but a sanction is required.
These sanctions again are on the lenient side to maintain the consistency of the season's rulings. I understand where the AXV comp is currently at so would rather be lenient. I won't be sending a message as this is the final week of the home and away season and a quick post should be enough.
SuperCoach the scoring system, but SuperCoaches have hung up the boots
WXV Coaching Vacancy (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,113498.msg1997883.html#msg1997883)
Now that the AXV season is completed, it is time for me to finish as the mod for AXV comp.
Thanks to all that participated in season 2019. It wasn't all smooth sailing but at least I think there can be closure on the competition if it does not continue.
I think the discussion needs to be had now whether there is someone who has the appropriate time and eagerness to run this comp. If there is no-one then the time has come to finish AXV. That is just my opinion so happy for others to share theirs.
I dont have the time to commit to being a mod, have trouble some weeks finding time to name a team, but would be very sad if one of the original XV comps was to go down.
