Am i right in saying theres some type of new rule this year where I can do something about Monfries starting as sub? Like can I bring my emg forward in instead or something?

Can anyone help me with this? Looks like it could decide the result

I had a look and it says something about if your star player starts as sub or a player gets injured in the first 5 minutes you get the better score of the emergency or the player on the field. I know nothing more than that. I have Daisy Thomas so it will affect me too

Think the mod has to set it for us - if someone on your team plays only 20% of game time.

yeah i had myers im in the same boat

Found this in the rules section

• Leagues now have the ability to use Time on Ground Percentage to control whether a player is replaced by an emergency. So if say a minimum of 20% of game time is selected, any player who plays less than 20% of a match will be replaced by an emergency.
  
  The threshold can be set by league managers, with anything from 0% (same rules as previous seasons) to 50% able to be selected. We suggest 20% if you want to cover only players who are injured early in a match, and 35% to cover players who are typically subbed on late in the third quarter. In point-scoring leagues if the player due to be replaced has scored more than the emergency, the original player will remain in the team. In category leagues the substitution will happen based solely on highest time on ground percentage.
  
  By default the Time on Ground threshold is set at 20%. This is also used for all Public Leagues. League managers of private leagues can change this by going to Tools > Edit Lineup Settings.

Thanks mate, that kind of works out well for you!

Cheers, that's a great rule, any chance we can get it set at 35%. It's pretty s**t when you're down to the last 1 or 2 games in the round and you find out your players sub and there's literally nothing you can do (but you've got forwards sitting on the bench who played ok)

I wouldn't worry too much, you got me covered regardless.

Shocker of a first week, not helped by Lobbe's late withdrawal and me stupidly not checking which of my ruck emergencies were playing. Big fat zero.

Props to TheHoneyBadger (damn you, I tried to tag your last username and wondered why it wasn't coming up for about a minute) though - you've turned that squad around rather quickly.

Bit of luck in that. Hadn't looked at it for a few days.

The username has tripped me up a couple of times, too

 

[threenewpadlocks]

I'd thought I'd give it a week or two to see how the new emergency rule panned out. Give it another round and see what people think then.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Well this season's been a write off so far. Two consecutive zeroes from my ruck, now I've copped Impey's five handballs as my emergency thanks to Macmillan's last second withdrawal.

 

[boydsno1]

Frawley, Schneider and Gibson out but still got the win.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

I can field a ruckman this week! Get around me! He's s**t but I don't even care at this point.

 

[grassman75]

A much better start to this season. Very Bulldogesque sitting 2-0. Bookies had me at 13/1 at one point last week to upset the Honeybadger. More fool them

Outrageous. They were predicting a 7-1 win to the ferocious Honeybadgers from the Webb of Charlotte.

Heads will roll.

I had to pick up a free agent just to field enough midfielders, even though I'm already using mid/for DPP in midfield.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Picked a good week to get Cloke off the bench!

 

[grassman75]

Well that's ****ed it. Started well with a few injuries in Hanley and Thomas now Wines goes down with what looks like a broken arm. Will have to carry him cow I am not trading him out for you vultures to pick over! Out R.Bail In N.krakouer (couldn't believe he was still in the draft pool)

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

So about that sub rule? Any idea if we are going to I troduce it if a player is the sub do we use the emergency instead?

 

[BRWB]

My team is s**t, but still amazing how quickly players disappear off the list, Lake and Morris gone so far injured, Weller and Chaplin dropped. A couple more injuries and I'm really cooked!!

 

[grassman75]

I'm back to my usual performances. Getting flogged

 

[StringyDog]

My first win after winning the comp last year, premiership hangover!

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

I picked the wrong ruck
