If I have a squad of 43, not 45, do I get to choose how many rookie-listed players I have?

You can't have 43 players Ringo was watching all the lists when we were drafting
I distinctly remember there being something said after all the draft was done about delistings, as we needed to delist players not on AFL lists, and if we didn't notify Ringo in time, we'd have to play with a smaller squad. It wasn't a drafting issue, it was after that.
So with me being slack and all and only getting around to looking at my team today, I couldn't find Taggert or Forster listed in any positions in the Fanplanner, so I assume they had been delisted. And since it's too late to draft, I only have 43. :)
Final Teams do not have to be listed until before first round.
As PB has players delisted he is also now entitled to pick 2 replacement players from left over players from the Rookie Draft on page 1 where there are still 9 players available.
http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,87064.0.html
Rookies have to be listed in final team lodgements.
So in short PB can pick 2 players now.

Only problem with BXV is we still don't know if we will have a scoring system ? that's why people are avoiding trading etc
hoping for a spreadsheet calculator to be in place for next season, depends if it is a feasible workload for Ringo.
was the best scoring system around, SC almost without the weighting or ridiculous 40 fantasy points for a goal to decide the match....
i guess it almost has to be SC if we cant get the old scoring system in place, pretty sure there wont be a comp with that scoring system now, VS are obviously aiming for an original DT game which means DT scoring as far as I can tell. Nothing like sportal at all...

Massive +1. I would seriously seriously hope to keep the same scoring system for next season!
We can hopefully if need be do the custom scoring on ultimate footy to match Sportal
I agree I will be heartbroken if we don't keep the same system :P
Sportal still not answering my emails have sent 3 so not confident.
If any one knows how to download CD data into a spreadsheet let me know as if it is possible can do lookups each week. May take longer but worth it. Also worth investigating ultimate footy customised as KB says.
Do not what to complicate it too much though as the more manual intervention required the more opportunity for mistakes. Made a few last year as well btw. Also I have a few weekends throughout the season where i will be away.
As we may have to change scoring sytems thinking of having a one week trading period once it is sorted with a limit of 4 movements. Comments on that welcome.
maybe talk to OS, he seems to know a lot about xl.
if you could import the stats from each game (available from the AFL site) into an xls, then have a formula to calculate the stats on sportal scoring system it would be exceptionally quick and easy.
apart from having to import every game each week.
the formula in xl would be very easy.
importing the data - that is the part i have no idea how to do but i am almost certain if it can be done Os would know how.

Teams then can be updated as per rules set if it can be done and no need to lodge teams in thread. Would probably still have to calculate HGA for each match.
Not sure how we get on with co coaches as I doubt we can register two coaches for the one team so it may be an exchange of passwords and log ins to allow.

Supercoach scoring might be the easiest, people will be unhappy but what else can we do ? its just one of those unfortunate things that happens every now and then. A decision sooner rather than later would be good, then we can decide what to do regarding trades etc.
Wow that would flower up quite a few of my trades... :(

I thought it was ridiculous with the Sportal scoring tbh. In saying that, Roughead will average very nicely in SC.
not when you consider Rocky averaged 159 in the Midfield late in the season
When does this trading period close? Just think it should probably cop an extension seeing as no-one wants to trade until we have a scoring system sussed out..

I think the thing is that trading was supposed to close before the start of the first NAB challenge match.
The reason for it is that if a player shows promising signs or one gets injured for six months or whatever, people can trade based on that.
Not sure though, Ringo will clarify.
yeah trading is until the 10th
i think we should have a trading period after the NAB Challenge anyway even if for only a week
tried to get this last year but missed out by like a vote i think :(
Have posted in the trade period that it will be extended pending announcement by Sportal. Will be revising timetable when Sportal makes announcement with a lot depending on any changes to scoring system.
ok one thing i don't like
if trade period goes through NAB Challenge coaches with trades get an unpredictable advantage
i know it's our fault blah blah blah for not having trades left but we didn't know trade period would be open during NAB Challenge
Quote from: kilbluff1985 on February 04, 2014, 10:41:14 AM
i know it's our fault blah blah blah for not having trades left
Hit the nail on the head right there.
No matter how late it was, there is/was always going to be more information available to everyone at the second trade period.
Newspaper articles on teams, injuries, DPP info, injury updates...
If someone chose to use the trades early then they made that choice, while other chose to wait and get as much info as possible.
Play on.
but watching players play is to much of any advantage way different then just newspaper articles cant believe your trying to compare them
I'm kinda with SR though, you knew by using your movements early that you were going to starve yourself of valuable info later down the track.
And to be fair, the NAB is a pretty shower indicator. Teams experiment with spuds through the midfield and play a bunch of kids. It's basically a hurdle when it comes to sorting out fantasy teams! Only reason we so keenly wait for it is because we haven't had footy for 6 months!
As I said KB it is dependent on when Sportal make their announcement. Was torn between two options:
1. Keeping current trade end date - and then when Sportal announced its comp and if scoring system changed greatly then allow a one week trading period only.
2. Extend till Sportal announce and then make decision on training finalisation. eg if no change then only allow another 2 days for trade. Review if change is great.
Made the decision to go with 2nd option as it is better administratively for me atm.
While the decision made doesn't really affect me either way (since I'm out of movements), I'd probably prefer option one (even if I had movements).
Honestly though, I don't regret using my movements like I did. I inherited the wooden-spooners and I reckon I've done a fair bit to turn it into a fairly competitive outfit (which, to be fair, it already was... monstrum just didn't name the team half the weeks).
Will put out a vote as there are a couple of differing opinions,
Thinking these options:
1. Close existing Trade Period at 7:00pm EST on Wednesday 12th February. If Sportal scoring sytem changes drastically allow a one week trading period From Sunday 2nd March till Sunday 9th March with an additional 3 movements allowed. Adminstrator to make judgement on scoring rule changes.
2. Extend trade period Pending Sportal Announcement with final date at discretion of Administrator based on the Sportal scoring system.
Know 1 may not be popular with some with the extra 3 movements but believe it is necessary if scoring system changes drastically. Reason being Trades were based on existing scoring so any major change needs to be considered in that light. I will be making judgement on that one.
I'm gonna have more movements than to know what to do with :P
i'm not that fussed i'm happy with my team i just think it's an advantage to watch players play and can still trade
Quote from: elephants on February 04, 2014, 12:17:54 PM
I'm gonna have more movements than to know what to do with :P
Give pls.
I am for option 2.
The issue with Option 1 is that no one wants to trade until we know for sure nothing is changing.
Then if it closes on the 12th and there is no real change, trading is finished so people who held on lose out.
Dont have a problem with the extra movements for people if there is major change, people with existing team with movements will need someone to trade with if they want to fix teams as well!
I got 2 trades left, but don't care. I doubt I'll be trading much anyways. And I was bad luck to kb
when we meant to name rookies by again?
Supposed to be next week but it will be in abeyance until we sort out the scoring sustem to be used. Will give revised timetable when announced.

Not only will that take ages, but I can see it being extremely unpopular.
I wouldn't be against it but if top teams have traded their way into their teams then it's probably not fair and it also means starting from square one really.
yeah i guess we don't really have time for it anyway
was just an idea
The only possible way to make up for a new system I think is to have another trade period and all. I mean we still have another month until Round 1 which is a long time.

thing is though
the most active trading teams have no trades left
so having another trading period is not really compensation
it just gives teams with trades an advantage over those with none
can say teams should keep trades all you want but this is an unpredictable circumstance
Cos your the boss and all. Ringo has already said there will be trading once the scoring system is final!
If you blew all your movements after 2 hours of the window opening then too bad imo.

I would agree Ele if we just had an extra trade period for no reason but to be fair this is a whole change in scoring which changes everything from the way we traded, drafted and all. We drafted and traded for the Sportal comp. A change in comp I think deserves compensation, just my opinion. :)
We are all getting ahead of ourselves and I am enjoying the discussion.
Facts to consider are:
All we have atm are averages to go by so we are making assumptions based on the overall averages which may be dangerous but you are coaches and make the decisions for your team.
Trading will be interesting to see if players who are perceived to score well in Stadium Sports are put up for trade.
As this is a major change in scoring I will be recommending that teams that have used all movements be allowed an additional 3 movements. So basically there will be 13 trades plus the compensation trades for lower placed teams.
We still have to agree to Ultimate Sports being the scoring system as well. Vote will be going out on this very shortly.

piss off lez honestly it was just an idea like i said
i'm very happy with my team i'm not even going to trade in the extra period
Yeah I'm against that idea too. Why give Lez a chance to improve on his horrible list? :/
If Stadium Sports get up will put another vote out as to having a one week trade period with additional movements due to difference in scoring.
Well I am just confused.
Will try to to give an update where we are at.
As we are aware Sportal has shifted their scoring system to Real DT. As Asians use this system we need to decide whether we keep DT or seek alternative.
I set up a discussion page on the relative scoring systems in this thread:
http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,89072.0.html
Most of the discussion is in this thread so the reference to Ultimate Sports in this thread may be superseded by the discussion in the new thread.
Yesterday I sent out a vote with 4 options requiring you to list your Top 2 preferences so as we can decide now on which system to use going forward. Manual adjustments were rejected due to the amount of work nvolved and the possibility of errors.
Once votes are in and decision made there may be further votes required as well as updating time table.
Bear in mind the preseason is being worked on DT stats and is not a foregone conclusion we are going that way.
If that does not answer all queries or remove confusion please PM me or post in this thread.
Not defending myself but bear in mind it was a major decision made by Sportal not to continue their existing scoring that has really placed British into confusion. Will be doing my best to try and work through it so please bear with me. I am not happy with any of this either and at one stage was tempted to just walk away to give you an idea of my frustrations.
Ringo. Sorry mate. I have deleted my post to remove more confusion. After I had posted that I then saw the votes PM from you.
I received a massive amount of PM's over the weekend and it just got lost in the mix.
I think I can speak for everyone that we are appreciative of all the extra work that relates to being the admin and are happy with how things are going in a pretty difficult situation.
Yeah Ringo mate, you're doing a great job. Very much appreciated :)

whatlez invented this idea :D
Im against it, but not passionately so!
I don't think its necessary but it'd probably help us sooo :P
A question has been asked if we trade players from the National and Rookie draft are they classified as movements.
Rule 5.8 A player movement is defined as when a player on your list from the previous season (initial draft for initial season) is traded to another team. Draft picks or players you have received as part of a trade can be on traded without being considered a player movement.
This is not real clear as can be interpreted in a couple of ways.
My interpretation is that they would class as movements because you have actually drafted them into your team to complete your list and now trading out would be a movement in my opinion. Open to discussion though and Rule should be amended to clarify.
The latter half of the rule states that a player we draft can be on-traded and not considered a movement.
Therefore, I could trade Billings for Player X (for example) and it wouldn't be a movement... well, that's my interpretation.
This is where the interpretation differs and needs to be clarified and am happy for discussion to continue as I read it and interpret it as Only Draft picks and players received as a result of trade can not be counted as a movement. So I am saying that players received in the 2 drafts were not part of a trade and any traded pick that was used to draft in the 2 drafts negates the pick for on trading.
Oh okay, I guess it really depends how you read the rule.
It makes it hard IMO. Possibly gives a benefit to someone who chose to trade a pick as he can on trade for nothing compared to someone who drafted using the same pick and cant?
Does the person who traded in the pick, get to on trade for no movement the player he drafted?
There is getting a little more confusion so I will spell out my interpretation nice and simply players drafted in the National and Rookie Drafts if traded will be classed as a player movement.
Please go to this thread and look at the rulings made regarding trades.

Rolling lockouts is just a pre season thing I think
With the number of questions being asked it is probably appropriate to refer coaches to this thread - British Rules are kept updated as we change here.
So if rules were read it would make things easier for everyone.

Team thread links are not up to date but will be working on that area soon. There is a complicated system behind the link which I am trying to sort out,
Applications for V League open!
http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,90048.0.html
Just had a thought
since we are back with Sportal why is every team allowed to trade if they have movements
imo the extra period should just be for new coaches give them 3 movements and they can trade with whoever they want
the seems much fairer to me
because we all were waiting on the scoring system before trading......
We were still in trading period 2 which originally was to finish last week but due to uncertainties has been extended to March 4th.
yeah ok i guess coaches put things on hold
understood
Just tidying up a few things and letting you know another vote will be going out today on whether or not to allow VC score to be 1.5 as well.
Currently Captains points are doubles. If Captain does not play then VC assumes Captains role and his points are doubled.
Proposed Rule Change
Nominated VC score is multiplied by a factor of 1.5.
Should your nominated VC not play or be required as Captain your nominated emergency VC score will be attract the multiplying factor.
This rule change was mooted in December and not voted on.
http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php?topic=70282.msg954102#msg954102 is the link to current rules and if any furgther discussion is required now is the time to do it.
Jack Steven will miss the opening few rounds of the season.

Very happy with that team is heaps younger and nearly just as good
Michie making me 2nd guess my trading him but his JS still known along with the other 2 guys but Hartlett is better for my best XV and it allowed me to get Dempsey who averages like 10 more then Atley
Michie is guaranteed Dees best 22.
Quote from: elephants on February 28, 2014, 08:52:58 PM

Yeah but Roos won't push him will rest him if he gets tired they have lots of youth to rotate or get in like Salem and Viney I'd still rather a more experienced player in my best XV in Hartlett over Michie
Unless Hartlett regains back status, Michie will be worth it big time in 2-3 years. This scoring system suits his style of play!

oh i have no doubt i lose the trade long term
but the truth is we didn't need them this year really i have 6 expected to be gun midfielders now and you can add Caddy to that plus some developing depth still and our midfield is young enough we don't need to be developing heaps of youth just yet
the trade increased my utility 2 spots average and allowed me 2 get Dempsey which increases the teams average by another 10 points
for the BEST XV this year was a good trade

thoughts on doing a resting thing next year like WXV? nominate to rest a player one week then you get 10-20% points increased for them the next week?
encourages teams to have good depth
What I didn't think of, but with the sub rule, it encourages you that you don't need a ruckman. You can just use a gun mid as emg and just play someone shower OOP in the rucks. This is if you got no rucks and could see you selling all your rucks to abuse the rule.
I'm pretty sure the sub can't replace an OOP
Quote from: luvfooty on March 31, 2014, 12:04:36 AM
I'm pretty sure the sub can't replace an OOP
it can but the sub replaces the players full score not half i think
so if the original player gets 70 and you get 35 if your sub gets 90 you get 45 instead of 35
i think
Then name the showertest ruckman who doesn't play.

encourages teams to have good depth
tbh I dont really like the idea. Saying that I like the idea of Co Captains :)
At the moment these are the rules that apply:
Emergencies: ***, ***, *** - Four emergencies (One for each Line but if OOP is used half points will apply if used)
7.4 Emergency Scoring[/b]
Emergencies will play should a starting member of your team not play, but with conditions.
7.4a. If a player on the interchange is the same position as the player that pulled out, he will be moved into that position. The extra interchange spot will be filled by your FIRST preference listed emergency.
7.4b. If a player on the interchange is NOT of the same position, then option to replace the player who pulled out moves to your emergencies.
7.4c. Emergencies can only replace players in the SAME position for full points.
7.4d. If an emergency is a Dual Position Player, he can be called into either position (i.e. if he is a Fwd/Mid, he can play as either a forward or mid)
7.4g. If you have more than 4 players in your starting 15 not playing, the highest value (determined by your draft selection) squad member from the rest of your team will play, but only a QUARTER (rounded up) of the score will count. I.e if Alan Toovey is the highest remaining squad member, and he scores 53, only 1/4 points will count towards your final score.
7.5 Use of Sub
Name one of the 4 emergencies as a sub. If the sub has not been used as an emergency replacement and scores higher than the lowest scoring player on the field then the subs score is taken. eg If Player x scores 45 and your nominated sub scores 80 then the subs score of 80 will replace Player X's score. Player x's score will still count as lowest score for HGA Purposes,
Note a player nominated OOP can not be the nominated subs.
So Whatlez is correct in saying that you can name a dud ruck who is playing and then name a mid sub and get his score. However this is a risk you take in case your mid emergency is required,
Also bear in mind that you must name one emergency from each line as well. You can name OOP emergencies but only if there are no other players avialable playing for that line. If there are players available eg using the defender line as the example you do not name a defender emergency but there are defenders named in teams you may be penalised 50 points. This rule was applied to swaggers this week who named 3 mids as emergencies even though there were an additional 2 playing defenders available.
As always rules can be reviewed at end of season.

That's half the reason why it shouldn't be introduced.
Stronger sides get a massive advantage.
Must admit not a fan of resting Voted against in worlds for the very reason we are discussing here that it advantages some sides more than others.
Like the Co Captains idea though and may see how that looks but we do not want all competitions to be the same.
An idea for next year to be voted on if enough interest
Each week teams select a player in the oppositions team to be tagged which means that players score decreases by 10%
However think maybe Captains should not be able to be tagged
I think it would be interesting

I dont like it.
Another one for discussion and am posting here so do not forget either.
If a coach does not name a team the previous weeks teams is the default. Do not think that this is a heavy enough penalty so thinking of if team not lodged then no Captains bonus is applied as the penalty.
Think that is a better penalty then having a set % and feel free to discuss here.
and KB not a real fan of taht one but may work on it a little more.
Yea no thanks kb.
fair enough was just an idea
i agree there should be a harsher penalty for not naming a team

In worlds, if you miss once its no penalty. Twice you lose a premiership point (4 points for the win), three times lose 2 points, four times lose 3 points and are sacked
The tagging idea is interesting. ...
I'd say you nominate one player to tag an opposition player...
And the player doing the tagging loses 20% and the player being tagged loses 10%?
Great idea kb, might float that in worlds next year
So will BXV be using the positional changes that AF are doing?
Please feel fee to discuss here thoughts on this.
Although I am against changing rules mid season, given that teams were built and trading done based on the positions, if Sportal were to add the positions we would have to look at it and possibly put to a vote.
Although it would be nice to have some players get DPP I'm not a fan of rule changes during the season.
However if it is something that might happen again next season we could vote on it during the offseason to implement a rule for it next year.
Yeh don't really like it unless Sportal were looking at it
Nah don't think mid-season rule change is any good.
Iv got frawley im keen :P

Thanks for the discussion guys.
I will be very intermittent on the site for the next few days due to other commitments. I believe AF are announcing their changes today and then we can see,
I agree with majority here that we should not change mid season, but as I said in original posts if Sportal change and, to date have given no indication of changing, then we have to look at the effect on our competition.
Some favourable selections this week for the Rams, just a pity we're not actually playing. ::)

Not one. He even posted it in SC and AF board, as well as the Coaches section and the Front Bar.
Ringo you didn't get a pm from Stew last night?
Been a bit busy lately with school so I never got around to seeing that The Pelican has given the team away.
Just wanting to mention that I really do want this team back but I really can't right now. Since no one applied, if something can be done to keep it on hold for me until Mid-November (When all my end of year exams are done) then I'd love to take control again after that. :)
Happy to at least keep posting teams (for the sake of the comp) while the search continues for a new coach if Ringo is happy for me to do so.
Sorry guys with my medical condition at the moment and a few other things not as active as I should be at the moment.
I have had a PM from Stew and he is showing some interest. Have had PM's from a couple of "newer" coaches wanting to be assistants so will be corresponding with them as well.
Agree for the sake of the competition we should continue to name teams until coaching situations are clarified. Only proviso Nige would be I may name team if the draw has them playing you for transperancy.
To complicate matters I also had computer issues meaning I had to reconstruct my spreadsheets but luckily not too bad as I back up hard drive regularly.
All good Ringo, don't stress.
If stew is interested, I think he should definitely get a job and maybe of the newer coaches could join him as assistant.
I'd also be happy to take on an assistant, as would a few others I'm sure.
As for naming of the teams, I understand that if I was playing either side currently without a coach that somebody else would have to name them.
Well done in working through this Ringo.
Sorry guys, exams have me a bit hectic
I'm happy to be a 'caretaker' coach until the end of the season, where I'll check if I'm good enough to go through the trade/draft period :P
If anyone wants to co-coach/assistant with me, then let me know, should be good :)
All in all, I just want to have some fun, and exchange a bit of banter with mates with some good fantasy footy :D

Going about a goal a game (bags of 3 and 4 in there) with FF stating he spends a fair amount of time forward. I'm confident, probably fwd/back dpp again next season.

You would be hoping Zibell starts to play a bit better, his value is becoming more speculative each week.
The Steins will be looking to pick up plenty of high draft picks in this upcoming trade period.
If you have one and are willing to part with up come and talk to us. Especially if you have another offer as we will see if we can beat it.
It's likely we will delist around 10 players this off-season so we will need the picks :P
Will re-view if we win the premiership before season end.

If you have one and are willing to part with up come and talk to us. Especially if you have another offer as we will see if we can beat it.
It's likely we will delist around 10 players this off-season so we will need the picks :P
You're going into full rebuild? The team list isn't that bad.
That said, there's some good talent available in this year's draft but a number of them are KPP who won't score that well.

Yes we have some decent talent but we also have a lot of dead wood.
By my count we will be looking at trading away or chopping the following guys in the off-season: Nicholson, Clarke, Rutten, LRT, Lonergan, Georgiou, Byrne, Cachia, Crowley, A Graham, King, Clark, Maister.
In additions Brodie Martin, Nathan Gordon, Alex Greenwood, Brandon Jack, Sam Naismith, Kristian Jaksch, Malcolm Karpany and Luke Reynolds are fringe or not likely to get regular game time for a season or two.
That's 12-13 spots on our list we need to fill (we may keep and rookie King) and we'd rather do that through high-ish draft picks than late speculative ones.
Also we only have the one real captain option in our side in Kieren Jack. This needs to change so we may need to put some of our current talent on the table in exchange for some future or developed premium midfield options.
PS - If you fancy any of the above guys for a draft pick then hit me up.
PPS - Aside from K Jack, Jesse Hogan and Josh Kelly anyone else on our list is fair game come trade period.

That's a lot of culling mate.
There's a extremely shallow list of leftover players at the moment and the odds are you'll end up have to re-draft a few of these guys you're getting of or at least players similar to them.
Do you want to be even remotely competitive in the next couple of seasons?

Remember you are also subject to movement limitations which will be governed by a rule change vote in the near future.

We are not going to be competitive if we have to rely on any of the guys above to score mate - that is my point. We need to get some talent on the list and we've got a better chance in the draft than waiting for these guys to improve. Only a few possibly have some improvement left in them anyway.
We are aware of the movement limitations Ringo. We may not end up ditching all these players in one go but in two seasons time I doubt any of them will still be at the Staines.
The other option for us it to go in to next season with as bad a list as this year and finish last again...And then again in 2016...
Ah, I see.
Just interested to find out the plans of some of the competition. ;)

Its a partial lockout torp so you
1.Can change Sloane to captain as he hasn`t played
2.Leave the VC on Sloane and he`ll still be your captain if you don`t name one
3.Put the C on someone else and just leave the VC on Sloane
4.Libba has played already and can`t be your captain anyway
Torp
You can change as partial lock out. Think you are getting confused due to the issue of not naming captain or vice captain one week where it reverted to previous week. You have named Sloane as VC already so even you do not name a captain Sloane's score as VC will count as Captains score.

Not wanting to go on too much of a tangent. But whats the point of the VC then?
In the case of full lock out and your Captain is a late out you get the VC score. Whilst we have Partial lockouts you get the opportunity to loophole but only a few available a year,
With 3 votes out there time to look at some other issues.
One issue I am thinking of is a penalty for not naming teams, At the moment the only real penalty is maybe loss of the team to be considered after 3 misses depending on circumstances. If a team is not named then last weeks team is the default team and this is not a real penalty.
Whilst keeping the three strikes policy also thinking of invoking these penalties.
1st time not naming a loss of 100 points from overall score
2nd Time a loss of 200 points from overall score
3rd time a loss of 300 points from overall score.
Other alternative may be Captains score is not doubled the week teams not named.
Feel free to discuss and offer any other suggestions as this is a decision that effects the overall integrity of the competition.
I think the first time should be a warning only with no penalty and the previous weeks team applied.
also, does the penalty apply if only done in a row?
Just to answer Sydney
I usually send a PM to coaches who have not lodged a team approx 45 minutes before bounce of first game. Sometimes there is an overlap but I am willing to cope with that.
If coaches are committed they should be aware that teams have to be lodged by a cut off time and that should be their priority. Cut off times are advised in lodgement threads so they should be aware, Some coaches even name teams early in the week and adjust on Fridays just to ensure they have teams named.
Do not think first time should be a warning unless circumstances allow and then only at the discretion of Administrator. Pm'ng me after the fact would not cut it as much as Pm'ng before. \\Penalties would not apply for in row but to each occurrence.
45 minutes? That's pretty late for a reminder.

Do not think I can do much more as Sunday teams are finaliized between 5:00pm and 5:30pm on Fridays so giving teams till 7:00pm is appropriate imo especially when not obligated to do so. When you take on a team you take on the responsibility of naming teams each week so that should be foremost in coaches mind.

I don't think I've gotten it, but I never am on at that time.
I like the idea of loss of overall points but it becomes a lot of points pretty quickly I guess. (They should name teams anyway really)
Maybe 2 warnings then loss of points. Obviously reset at seasons end

Yeah took the sticky off because season over and there is a trade discussion thread where coaches can list trades.
just so i'm 100% clear regarding dropping the list sizes and drafting
if i only want to use 2 NAT Picks i need to delist 3 players and a 4th if i want to promote a rookie with a 3rd pick?
You are correct with that KB as we are reducing lists by one you need to delist one more player. Bear in mind any retired players will automatically count as one of your delistments
So in your case if you want 2 picks and a rookie promotion you will need 4 vacancies in your lists.

If we have a problem with coaches and equalisation, we could do something like drop the two teams who don't have coaches (if it's less, then don't worry). Then the bottom teams can choose to use lets say their second round pick off the two abandonded teams. Or we could chuck all those players into the rookie draft and the bottom with pick 1 and 2 will get gun fully prem players and even the top teams will still get good players. I'm a top 4 team and I'm actually happy for the lesser teams to get some good players for free like Nails' team especially. I've just thought of this on my phone so not how much sense it makes.
i have thought the same it's a good way to do it just reduce the comp to 16 teams
Are we short on coaches? Or just have no one in the waiting list?
Quote from: SydneyRox on August 18, 2014, 01:57:26 PM
Are we short on coaches? Or just have no one in the waiting list?
both
Unlike other competitions British advertise for vacancies as we do not have a waiting list. We had trouble filling the last vacancies but eventually did. It may be a case of reducing competition to 16 teams but need to work out the fair way of doing it if we can not find new coaches,
if it came to that i think the best way is to take 74 players from both lists and do a draft with current ladder order
If we can find coaches I am all for a recycled player draft. Reverse finishing position after finals, no snake.
Hopefully those caretaking will continue to stay.
Yeah exactly, my thinking. I would prefer a 16 man comp.
Hey Meow, go away. lol.

sorry Ringo to ask but can we get this weeks team lodgement thread going please i like getting a team in early just in vase
enthusiasm ;)
Patience KB will get to it in eventually - got a lot of stuff on at the moment,
ok no worries just thought you might have forgot sorry
Happy to announce that with the folding of both our rivals and the recent history between the two clubs that JBs-Hawks' Huddersfield Hawks and my Liverpool Rams will be rivals from 2015 onwards. 8)
just watching afl 360 and Gerard Whateley had a really good idea for the AFL fixture and i thought i'd mention it here see the reception it gets
every team plays each other once over what would be 15 rounds for us
then the ladder is divided into groups and you play teams in your group again to decide final positions on the ladder
think it's interesting anyway
I love that idea for the real AFL
Would work here also I think
15 games for head2head
3 games for 4 groups of 4
4 games for finals
Perfect as it adds to 22, would have to play 2 times over the 3 bye rounds though
i don't think they are doing the 3 bye round thing because the seasons a bit later but not 100% sure obviously

Great if so
Worth considering Will look at it when actual draw is announced and see what can be worked out. We have an opportunity here with the reduction of teams to 16.
sorry if you have posted this already Ringo but
since all coaches are in place will trade period commence on the 8th instead of the 15th ?
also would you be against people posting trades after this weekend but obviously not to be approved until trade period opens?
not easy remembering deals for every trade especially when in multiple comps i'm sure i'm not the only one that would like to do this
Have updated they key dates thread to reflect changes that have been agreed to.
Regarding posting trades can not post until trade period commences. Sorry but that defeats the purpose of having a designated trade period. You can agree on trades before the period commences but they must not be posted until the official trade period begins.
no worries was worth asking lol

Not sure that's really fixed. I doubt Zaka gets fwd, McEvoy hasn't been playing for the Hawks lately so you'll have a hole in the ruck if you play Clarke forward and Titch is still on the outer of the best 22 at the Swans
It's definitely better though.

+1 Zaha will be a mid only
Titch isn't on the outer he has had injury troubles all year they just managing him will be fine with an uninterrupted preseason
Zaharakis is every chance to get DPP they gave it to him in AF
i have McEvoy, Clarke and Bellchambers as ruck yes Belly had a poor year but he had like no preseason and even if i have to play Clarke in the ruck i can play Schulz or Turner who should get DPP and be a decent scorer and Crisp i think will get DPP and scored pretty well this year
Also how's this for a transformation?

When you consider that only Jamar and Grundy and maybe Gawn are in the best 22 at their clubs and Gawn we are hoping is a ruc/fwd it's not.
Spencer, Gawn, King we basically have as an audition for who will be the next Demons #1 after Jamar once he retires. Naismith is a long way off at Sydney and will be rookie listed while Grundy could overtake all the Dees rucks and become our #1 or we could trade him
McEvoy, Clarke, Belly, Hannath, Wood, Thurlow
my 6 are better ;)

We going to copy EXV with child boards?
In answer to KB's question.
I have been having discussions with HP who now has administrator rights to the forum.
We will be having a child board for team threads making it easier to locate. Coaches will be responsible though for keeping their team threads up to date.
This will be an opportunity for coaches to revamp their team thread or start afresh - If you are starting afresh please let me know so that I do not merge your existing team thread.
To maintain the Team Histories I am proposing to have a topic ***** Team History where I will merge all previous team threads relating to ***** team. Think this is the best option as we will have a current team thread and then a History thread for team.
Also a proposal for an archive board where previous years threads can be archived at our discretion.
Only real concern I have is that board may be a little bare until we get into the pre-season as the only topics will be this thread, Rules discussion thread, trade Threads, Draft Threads when archive is done.
Advantages as i see it is board will become less cluttered and we may need any stickies at all.
Please feel free to comment.

I think this is a great idea.
I always hate having to click back to page 2/3 to find a certain team's thread.
As long as old team threads aren't merged with current ones, that's fine.
Check out how it is going at the moment as I have started moving threads. You will also see what I mean with History as you will see a couple of threads there.
Moving team Threads first before attacking archives. Will ask HP to arrange the Topics if possible so the 16 current team threads are at the top.
just sticky the 16 current teams
Think Ringo asked for the team threads to be ordered but I am unable to find an option for that yet. Will look for one eventually or see a way around it!
OK at the moment as all 16 teams are first in the list with History Threads for those at the end.
OK Thread has been cleaned up.. There will be a few more to archive once next season gets underway.
Team Threads are in the team Thread Board. As I said if you want a fresh start let me know so I can archive the original post and only keep the current team posts active at the top. Some thraeds could do with an update as well coaches.
Great job Ringo looks heaps better now
Ringo you getting bored? nothing happening here lol

Welcome to Pkbaldy
Thanks man. Going to be a fun year at The Hoods!
welcome to BXV mate hope you enjoy it
Couple of things to post here ad we go into the off season:
1) If you want to change your team name now is the time to do it. If changing Team name advise whether you are starting a fresh team thread and whether you want the old one deleted.
2) Advise if you have negotiated new Home Grounds,
3) We have a rivalry round:
Current Rivalries are
1. Newcastle Falcons v Huddersfield Hawks (Raptors Cup)
2. Bradford Badgers v Crosby Cruisers
3. Winchester Werewolves v Hastings Hurricanes
4. Liverpool Rams v Swindon Swaggers
5. Manchester Magic v Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs (Red Cross Cup)
6. Leeds Leeches v Nottingham Hoods (Far Cup)
7. Blackpool Bunnies v Staines Steins
8. Grope Lane Giants v Swansea Breakers (Lion Shield)
9. Oxford Owls v Birmingham Dragons (Heisenberg Cup)
Please advise any change in rivalries and if any change or additions to Trophy list.
Posted this before but will do so again.
Since the Swaggers and Falcons are no more, both JBs and I agreed for the Rams and Hawks to be rivals considering recent history between the two teams where the Rams have been underdogs both times and miraculously come out on top and upset the boys from Huddersfield. ;)
Raptors Cup may not be the appropriate Cup name now Nige.

Thanks Os! I hope I can do your team proud and be a high contender this year!
I would like to thank Oss for his contribution to British Comp and the Cruisers, Os took the Cruisers from the bottom to on the verge of the 8 so the new coach has something to work with. Wish Oss all the best for all his endeavours.
As per rules of British when a vacancy occurs will advertise the position later today and PK is encouraged to apply.
PK has got this easy.

Thanks KB - Due to my voluntary work September and October are very busy in my life with a number of District Conferences through out Australia.
cool least this preseason has been pretty uneventful like no heated arguments like last year lol less for you to stress over
Hey guys, with Ringo's blessing I've copied a thread idea from Adamant in the AXV comp to have an updated list of all BXV teams by position.
http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php?topic=99259.new#new (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php?topic=99259.new#new)
I've found it to be really helpful in AXV when trying to work out trades to have a one-stop thread to browse through all the teams.
The teams are up-to-date including all approved trades, retirements and delistings so far in BXV and the AFL and I aim to regularly update this as things change.
Regarding player positions, I have changed over some obvious ones as I've gone through the lists but I'm aware there are some other obvious ones I've missed as well as some 50/50 ones that will probably change. So there is no need to point out to me every player who you think will have a change in position next year (although I'm sure some of you probably will :P)
I'm sure in going through these lists there is at least a couple of players I have put down to the wrong teams in all this so let me know either in here or via PM if you think I have a player on the wrong team.
This thread is really just meant for display purposes to make it easier for trading, and Ringo will still have control of the Comp.
So hopefully it is of some help to at least a few of us :)
Omg this is sooo good!!! Yay :D

Yes i am not proposing scraping them and having a recycled draft. I am talking about joining all the players of both teams together and then having the two.new coaches draft there own teams out of them. Like In Worlds

ok, i havent been across the worlds one, checked it out. Now i understand. Seems like a reasonable plan given the position of the teams.
Lez would be so upset. :P
I was against the proposal in Worlds and against the proposal here and state my views as to why.
My thoughts are teams have been built by coaches for specific purposes and without offending either Whatlez or Nails heir teams have been built differently. I can foresee the Badgers sliding down the table in 2016 and the Giants going up even this year.
However main reason being against is, I consider it unfair to the 14 other coaches who have differing strategies for 2 teams to be totally redrafted producing possibly stronger teams that will further stunt their plans for the future.
I don't see it that way at all. I see it as dragging a bottom side off the bottom and creating two teams with upside. Honestly think if they merged that both teams could push for top 4.
New coaches will also be alot more attached to there teams if they draft them themselves
Like it ele how we can have a reasonable debate I see it as disadvantaging the other 6 bottom clubs who may be pushed further behind in their development by creation of 2 strong teams which is unfair.
Agreed ;)
Yeah fair enough, you think that Grope Lane will be on the rise though in 2016? Won't it help the bottom 6 clubs if these young guns at Grope Lane get spread across two teams?
And this:

I agree with Ringo - the Worlds draft was interesting yes but I think these teams should be kept as is and new coaches found.
Last season Grope Lane and ourselves were battling for the wooden spoon.
We think we've revitalised our team now and are ready to push on up the ladder in the coming seasons along with Grope Lane but if they all of a sudden get a big boost/ become a new more competitive team that's another team we won't be able to compete with until we're good.
I think it should be up to the applicants/new coaches themselves. The new coach of the Giants may very well want to take Grope Lane from second last to further up the table with current list for all we know.
Plus the points Memph and Ringo have made are good.
Why should it be up to the new coaches? Whoever gets Bradford arent going to want to chop there team up and fill it with grope lane players.
The question is do we want two good teams or one good team and one shower team.
And arguing that you dont want to fastrack grope lanes success as it will damage the teams around it is ridiculous and just accepting mediocrity. They can also get better by trading in older guys but they chose not too. Bontempelli over gibbs? Thats tanking right there.

Why shouldn't it be up to the new coaches? Why do you want to deprive them of such a decision? The state of Badgers list is pretty clear to see, they've got a fairly strong side, but there's a few things the new coach could do. This is probably the most even XVs competition, the gap between first and last isn't that big.
Memph's already done well to help the Steins and the new coach shouldn't have too much trouble helping Grope Lane as the bones of a good young team are there. I can easily see the Giants outdoing their result from last year.
The best thing I liked about the merging of two teams is that the incoming coach get a better sense of control and ownership of the team, rather than inheriting other's people's decisions, they get to put their own personality on it.
As a member of the Grope Lane application I definately want the team to stay the way it is.........not a combination of both teams.
As I am in the process of sorting out draw Can you advise the following for me if need be.
Any change in Team Names or Locations
Any Change in Home grounds
Round 7 will be the rivalry round and if changes are required please let me know.
1. Liverpool Rams v Huddersfield Hawks
2. Bradford Badgers v Crosby Cruisers
3. Winchester Werewolves v Hastings Hurricanes
4. Manchester Magic v Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs (Red Cross Cup)
5. Leeds Leeches v Nottingham Hoods (Far Cup)
6. Blackpool Bunnies v Staines Steins
7. Grope Lane Giants v Swansea Breakers (Lion Shield)
8. Oxford Owls v Birmingham Dragons (Heisenberg Cup)
Also let me know if you want to change Trophies or add a trophy to the this rivalry Round,
Don't think our cup is still called the Raptors Cup considering we're not Falcons. :P
I'll have to talk to the new Badgers owner about it when he gets voted in.
What shall we call our rivalry SR?

Cheers!
We get to make a new one this season, but that might be only because of the Recycled Players draft we had. Not sure what the norm is.
This it might be a new one each season anyway hey.
And a four man rookie list? So 40 seniors + 4 man rookie?
Just to clarify.
With the recycled draft players that are still available for this year only we are allowing for the four rookies to be nominated with final list lodgement in priority order. In future seasons unless we have changed circumstances again Rookie list will be filled from the Rookie draft only but Rookies can be promoted to senior list with a national Draft pick.
In future years de-listed and left over players will go into the National Draft.
Also list has reverted to 45 players with the reduction of 2 teams. So 41 Senior listed players and 4 rookies are required on lists this year.
Trust this clarifies for all
Hey all coaches just a final call prior to finalising draw for next year.
Please advise by Friday 21st any changes to team names or home grounds for the 2015 season.
Here is the teams names and home grounds as I have them:
Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs: Todmodern Sports Centre
Winchester Werewolves: The Rose Bowl
Leeds Leeches: Elland Road Stadium
Bradford Badgers: Badger Village
Oxford Owls: Incheon Stadium
Grope Lane Giants: Giant Stadium
Blackpool Bunnies: Bloomfield Road
Liverpool Rams: Goodison Park
Huffersfield Hawks: Galpharm Stadium
Staines Steins: Wheatsheaf Park
Swansea Breakers: Swalec Stadium
Birmingham Dragons: St Andrews Stadium
Crosby Cruisers: Ewood Park
Nottingham Hoods: Trent Bridge
Hastings Hurricanes: Pilot Fields
Manchester Magic: Old Trafford
When draw complete I will start new thread

Good morning all coaches.
As we approach the drafts can you check these 2 threads and verify that I have not any mistakes with trading of picks.
http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,98155.0.html
Also confirm any passing at this stage in National Draft.
http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,98767.0.html
Supplementary draft order for Rookie Draft will be finalised after final delistings are advised,
Will tidy up the players available list prior to draft by removing players who are not on a list.
Also remember Trading for Period 1 closes midnight this Wednesday 26th November with final delistings due by midnight 3rd December.
Delistings to be posted in this thread,
http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,97911.125.html
Will also be posting in this thread later today my record of total number of draft picks available for verification.
Getting close now.
The Owls are closed for trading until Period 2 unless: Anyone wants 135 averaging Scott Thompson + More FOR a younger 120+ averaging midfielder. Happy to keep him though, has 2-3 years left on his contract.
Good Morning coaches
Here is the number of players I currently have on lists together with total number of draft picks you have for the National and Rookie Draft. This is list as at midnight 24th November so trades to come and subsequent delistings will be updated.
Birmingham Dragons 39 players with 6 draft picks
Blackpool Bunnies 40 players with 5 draft picks
Bradford Badgers 41 players with 4 draft picks
Crosby Cruisers 36 players with 9 draft picks
Grope Lane Giants 31 players with 14 draft picks
Hastings Hurricanes 36 players with 9 draft picks
Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs 39 players with 6 draft picks
Huddersfield Hawks 36 players with 9 draft picks
Leeds Leaches 41 players with 4 draft picks (Jason Winderlich is showing as reired so may need to be reinstated if you wish)
Liverpool Rams 37 players with 8 draft picks.
Manchester Magic 43 players with 2 draft picks
Nottingham Hoods 37 players with 8 draft picks
Oxford Owls 41 players with 4 drafy picks
Staines Steins 33 players with 12 draft picks
Swansea Breakers 33 players with 12 draft picks
Winchester Werewolves 36 players with 9 draft picks
If these are not correct please PM me so we can verify lists
As all teams with the exception of Magic have at least 4 picks available I am proposing to start the National Draft at 9:00am on Friday Morning. Do not think it will create any problems by starting national Draft prior to the final de-listings.
You will still have the opportunity to de-list prior to national Draft if you want to take all picks in that draft or you can nominate to pass,
Will then sort out Rookie Draft picks.
Please comment if you have any objections.
Just a heads up. I will be driving to Sydney on Friday morning so it will be highly unlikely I will be online until lunch time. This will stall the draft quite a bit.
Question regarding the draft:

3.6 Coaches have 24 hours offline, or 2 hours online in which to make their selections, after the previous selection is made. This will be enforced by the league administrator and discretion can be used where appropriate.
Does this mean that if we're online when the person before us takes their pick, we have 2 hours, and if we're offline, we have 24 hours? Cause I'm usually online like all day, but only actually on FF for like 10% of that time haha
If you wish to send me a list in priority order by PM I will take next pick each time for you. Otherwise we just wait for you.
That goes for any one who is a sole coach if they are going to be unavailable and wish to send me a list I will do the same.

Just a heads up. I will be driving to Sydney on Friday morning so it will be highly unlikely I will be online until lunch time. This will stall the draft quite a bit.

haha nah i don't care Tominator gets back from a trip on Monday so take your time hoping we don't get to pick 40 by the time he is back
That's correct Ringo, we've got 41 players and 4 draft picks.
We have no NAT draft picks, but have 2 rookie picks. Then we have two spots that need filling, where do we get the supplementary picks, end of NAT draft?
Supplementary Picks will be allocated in Rookie Draft, Draft order to be determined when final de-listings by clubs completed next week.
All the polls are now open for voting in the XV comp Elxam Awards
Just an interesting fact for you all.
We only have 5 franchises that still have their foundation coach.
Birmingham Dragons - Kilbluff1985
Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs - Elephants/Spite
Huddersfield Hawks - Jb-s Hawks
Manchester Magic - Torpedo10
Swansea Breakers - Eingo (although I brought nrich102 on as assistant coach when I took on the admin role).
Remember we started with 18 teams and reduced to 16 teams for next year.
Didnt Holz start at Birmingham?
yeah was going to say Holz started Birmingham
Ok was not in my records so before I took over will adjust to show Holz as initial coach. THank You.
Ringo, where can we/do we publish our rookie listed players for you?
Once the rookie draft is finished I will start a thread for 2015 Team lists. I will post my lists following the draft for all to check.
Remember we still have a second trade period so I will not be requesting Teams in prioriity order till conclusion of 2nd trade period. This will include nominated rookies.
Just a little hysterical that Goddard got F status!!!!!!!

as am i about Ziebell
No DPP news for the Rams. :P
Lids :)
I'm thinking Hrovat, Bennell, Wright (Sam) and Templeton are all a chance to gain or lose DPP.
Thank you Whatlez for telling me that Christensen was going to be a DPP.
A couple of Giants to get DPP.
Taylor Adams - mid/fwd
Dan McKenzie - def/mid

Just letting you know Ringo won't be around until about 4pm,as he has some stuff to do today :)
Cheers LF. All good!
No rush at all.
Apologies guys forgot to formally announce Trade Period 2 is open.
Trade Period 2 will open on Monday 15th December and run till Wednesday 25th February.
Trades in this period will be one for one and you are not to exceed the 15 total movements across both trade periods.
We have quite a number of left over players after the drafts,
Thoughts on increasing lists to 46 (40 Senior players and 6 Rookie Listed players)
Will mean having an extra 2 rounds of rookie draft which will not be a big problem. Plenty of time to complete if we go that way.
no i don't feel the need i don't like lists being so big in Americas we have 52 players lol
just leave it so there might be some gems in next years rookie draft
Yeah, don't really see the need to change the list size.
I don't really mind though.
Yeah I don't really see the need for it tbh
Yea it could help out next years bottom teams by letting a few gems sneak into the rookie draft
Don't think it's necessary.

There's a couple more players in the rookie draft that I have my eye on so I wouldn't mind it :D
As I am overseas and there is speculation Sportal may not do Fantasy Football this year if any of you hear anything definite post here with link if possible.
We need to find out early so we can make plans if not.
I have sent a tweet to Sportal and to Pete Jank. Hopefully they reply, and I'll get back with an answer :)
