QLD have named their squad for the tournament :) No names there that need to be added to the FA pool.

So thoughts on the all-in no round robin for this comp? The small amount of matches makes it difficult to have a big competition. I think if it continues along this path we may need to reduce the prizemoney for this comp and make the other two worth more.

Probably the way to go.

Mate, I'm dying for any morsel of activity on the forum at this time of year. More than happy to post in any active part of the forum or do my best to keep it active aha. Also works to my advantage to be active when others aren't.  :P

Sounds good to me.

NSW Squad

Michael Cormack (F, SA) added to the Free Agency pool

Joe Mennie, you will be missed.  :'(

flower Cormack was an absolute tosser in high school, but facing him wasn't pleasant. Off-spinner for anyone interested in him.

Should mention our two star domestic bowlers (Mennie and Tremain) are finally getting a well deserved call up to the national side... at the wrong time.  >:( :( 8) :P

The other three states really need to hurry up and name their squads so I know who I have playing this comp. I can see myself being a few short only 3 blokes confirmed in their 14 man squads and I'm surprised at no Hartley, Wildermuth, and Sayers.

Benny McDermott in the Tassie squad :D Should have close to a full team now! :o

It rolling lockout, yeah?

Quote from: nrich102 on September 22, 2016, 04:21:18 PM
It rolling lockout, yeah?

Good question, need to put that in the rules. We used it last season so yes it's rolling lockout again.

How often each team plays:

Team	Round 1	Round 2	Round 3	Round 4	Round 5
Vics		1	2	1	2
NSW		1	1	2	2
WA	1	1	1	1	2
Tas	1	1	1	2	1
QLD	2	1	1	1	1
SA	1	1	1	2	1
CXI	1	2	1	1	1

I thought I would post this very important section from the rules thread, as it's new this season.

4.1 Player Poaching
Any player aged 24 or over at the start of a season (1st October 2016) is eligible to be poached at seasons end providing either:
- During the Matador Cup they are not named in 2 or more of the games they play.
- During the Sheffield Shield they are not named in 4 or more of the games they play.
- During the T20 BigBash they are not named in 4 or more of the game they play
- They aren't named for a total of 7 or more matches that they play across all forms.
(Note: A player named as an emergency WILL COUNT as having been named for their D6s side, even if they are not required on field)

If a player meets the requirements then the following will occur:
- The other 7 managers will be given an opportunity to 'declare interest' in the player (This will likely be done in bulk)
- If at least two of the 7 teams declare interest in a player, then the following occurs:
    - The current owner may choose to pay $75,000 to keep the player on his full time list.
    - The manager may choose to let the player go to the Free Agency Auction
- If less than 2 managers declare interest in the player then he will remain on that teams list for no cost
- Any manager may bid on free agents, so managers may wish to take a 'punt' on not paying the $75,000 fee to try and get them back cheaper
- There is no obligation for managers that declare interest in a player to actually bid on that player if the opportunity arises.

I am in the process of working out which players are over 24yo and posting the lists up. If any of this makes no sense do ask on here and I will clarify it :)


Edit: Realised the rules didn't include the most important bit! That's added in now :)

List of players named in Matador Cup squads:
SA Wombats: 10
NSW Platypuses: 12
V Possums: 14
NT Kangaroos: 13
ACT Cockatoos: 10
WA Swans: 8
Q Koalas: 10
T Devils: 12
Total = 89

Seeing as each team names a 15 man squad, that means there are 16 blokes in Matador Cup squads not on D6s lists!! I know I'm regretting not giving on Green and bidding on someone else just to give me a full 6 in Rd 1 :-\

Game 1 highest scorers:
Will Bosisto 166 (Koalas)
Matt Renshaw 124 (Platypuses)
Jason Floros 124 (Devils)
Peter George 110 (Koalas)

So for some silly reason that I just realised now I didn't set up my spreadsheet such that I would input the scores of every player whether they were on D6s lists or not. Silly me... So guys like Ryan Gibson who are unowned, their scores won't appear in the highest for each match when I put them up, just those players on lists will.

Koalas off to a good start. George is at E1 but Steketee didn't play so as long as he also missed the 2nd match, George's score will count for them.

Great work, lad!

The rain today f'ed me badly. 4 players and capt playing for close to nothing

At least you have players. I think I have a total of 3 playing this round :/

Do we get 0 for our captain then?

flowering lame if we do but eh, guess we'll cop it. Genuinely thought he'd open, not bat at 6.

The rain really flowered us there.

Should have played Neser or Weatherald.  :(

Definitely not doing well.

There's bound to be a lot of low scores for Round 1. Uni goes back tomorrow and I was 6 lectures behind so trying to catch up a bit there before doing the scores here.

Round 1
ACT Cockatoos   475
Q Koalas   464
NT Kangaroos   458
NSW Platypuses   437
WA Swans   338
T Devils   323
V Possums   258
SA Wombats   89

Cockatoos, Koalas, Platypuses, Kangaroos all off to a good start. Possums with a bit of work to do, Wombats with some serious work to do.

Reminder that the top 4 from the first 3 rounds will make the finals. Round 2 starts on Wednesday, and no teams have byes anymore.

Well Tim Paine had a good game

Beau Webster not required to do anything yet again for Tasmania and thus the Possums miss out again :o

Valente didn't do enough, I'm done.

Do we know who is opening for the Redbacks? Ludeman could get a decent score opening the batting!


After Tas vs CXI:
SA Wombats   23
NSW Platypuses   0
V Possums   0
NT Kangaroos   0
ACT Cockatoos   204
WA Swans   46
Q Koalas   123

I was thinking of a possible scoring method alteration, maybe giving players (or jsut batsman) 10 or 20 points for a DNB? Seems harsh to be punished with a 0 just because the bowlers in a certain team do a really good job (or the top order batsmen).

If this is liked, then it can be used for the Shield season and then in both comps next season fully? (Not T20 unless the official game introduces it) Would do it for all B,W,A that don't face a ball. (So a player making 0 off 0 but was a non-strikers will get this bonus too)

I can see why people would say tough luck, as picking top order bats is part of the strategy. But there's only so many decent top order bats to go around

He's on 60 (So 120 doubled) right now. He batted at 7 last game he'll get a chance to bat too

But Valente was my captain,  :-\ only one wicket, one catch and no RR bonus. Also, according to the team sheet Ludeman isn't playing? I don't know why either.

Oh they brought in Raphael not Ludeman like I read this morning. He gets full RR bonus for going at under 5rpo.

Cam White going huuuuuge. Over 220 points!!

Actually yeah Valente did okay. 60x2!

Ludeman hurt me though. So did Andrews. I need both to have a bat.

SINCE WHEN?!?!?

Not in my starting team because he wasn't even in NSWs Squad.  >:(

Looks like Josh Nicholas, the WA Rookie, might get a game against the Vics today (If the rain halts).

Dropped Maxy Klinger and this is what happens.  ::) :P

Sandhu, you couldn't do this when I captained you? :(

Milenko with 40 with the bat and already got a wicket as well  8)

Cooper wtf

Well my team is rapidly improving. Dunk and Maddo were crap, Ludeman and Hemphrey were moderately respectable.

If we make it into the final four, I think Dunk gets the boot.

Matt Short's effort against NSW catapults Tassie almost into the lead post Round 2

So heading into Round 3 (I'm aware it's almost finished) it basically becomes 5 teams battling for 4 spots in the finals. The Possums are an outside chance with all their DGW players but are coming from a long way back. Can write off SA and NSW for certain.

Koalas and Swans backing up last season's strong OD Cup performance again, NT and ACT showing that they are the teams to beat across all formats, and the Devils making a rise to the top thanks to their strong All Rounders.

So some kinda crappy news for ACT here. And it's kinda where this poaching rule doesn't work well. Evan Gulbis wasn't part of the initial 15 man squad they named, and as thus hasn't been on Jay's radar to be named. He plays game 1 of Victoria's DGW and if he plays tomorrow he falls under the 'poachable' section...

Might put this one to a poll will send you all a PM on it later. Do discuss below your thoughts. Rules are rules and if the majority wanna go tough luck then that's what will happen

With one game to go:
Round 3
SA Wombats   318
NSW Platypuses   179
V Possums   256
NT Kangaroos   266
ACT Cockatoos   180
WA Swans   443
Q Koalas   393
T Devils   450

Total   
SA Wombats   802
NSW Platypuses   829
V Possums   898
NT Kangaroos   1181
ACT Cockatoos   1287
WA Swans   1349
Q Koalas   1512
T Devils   1567


Top 4 looks home, but with the Vics playing CXI, who knows what will happen. The Kangaroos have Quiney, Maxwell (C) and maybe Ahmed to come. The Possums have Stoinis (C), Christian, Handscomb, and Beer.  WA are finished and ACT have Marcus Harris (C) and Jon Holland to try and hold off the charging two.

Stoinis :o Ahmed :o Maxwell :o

Could ACT or WA find themselves dropping out of the 4?!

We were so close.  :(

I think we're out, pity really because we would've been really strong with DGWs in the Semis!

If Marcus Harris fails and Holland doesn't bat you'll finish above ACT so it'll be up to NT AND Vics to pass you to kick you out.

So let's fill in this ladder....

Possums will rue the selection table mistakes, so many big scores left on the bench throughout the 3 rounds.

I thought the Vics had us.

There's such a small margin between us and them though, could NT & ACT slot in?  :-X

1st: T Devils, 1567
2nd: Q Koalas, 1536

Fawad Ahmed and Marcus Harris get NT and ACT into the top 4.

So starting tomorrow was have:
T Devils vs ACT Cockatoos
Q Koalas vs NT Kangaroos
No HGA for this tournament. Good luck all!

Woooooooo!

If we'd played Labuschagne we would've gotten through.  >:(

Richardson not playing for the Devils :o
Other than that not much has happened in the game so far...

That'd be right, Ferguson and Bollinger actually want to perform now do they? ::)

That's a pretty good effort well done :) That also means we've had 4 titles decided so far, one to each of V Possums, Q Koalas, NT Kangaroos and T Devils. If the next two this seaosn go to 2 different teams then basically this is the most even competition on FanFooty and it's not one of the 50 billion AFL related ones! :P

Are we going to have enough time to organise everything before the JLT Cup (name changed from Matador) starts?

:(

Those factors included the responses from people were not very enthusiastic :-\

I also thought the JLT Cup would start after the footy finished... I just found out that isn't the case.

 :(

Does this go for the other 2 comps as well? :(
