Strategy 2026 AFL Fantasy Pre-Season

[Phar Ace]

Probably pretty early into the year

But people will whinge regardless of what the threshold is.

I like the rule. Eliminates the week (or season) killing scores when a players injured on 0 or not much. Way i see it if my player plays half a game and cant score semi decently hes just a bad pick, not bad luck

Agree, it will be way better more often than it might catch someone out

Do you think it will disincentivise emergency looping ?

Do you think it will disincentivise emergency looping ?

Surely has to, before the change the only downside to looping was someone being a late out, cover did nothing if they were injured during game.

Wouldn't be doing it in a line with injury prone players that's for sure.

Do you think it will disincentivise emergency looping ?

You would think so, at this early stage of thinking. Looping, however, can offer a degree of certainty very early in the round, when it works. Surely we'll all utilise both in time.

Just in advance of tomorrow, Merry Christmas all !! Hope you have a great day with your families and friends, or - if you can't stand your family - a tolerable and peaceful day !!

I'll keep track of the TOG and watch it diminish as the game goes on.
Player X plays entire first half = 100% TOG.
Injured at half time.

I'll then streak onto the ground, thus ensuring the second half goes longer than the first half and knocks player below the 50% threshold.

We will have a team of dedicated streakers at each game ready to pounce.
Text requests by 3/4 time to 0405 FANTASY.

Small fee of $10,000
The money will need to be in my account before the streaker is activated.

This small sum covers our fine, plus a little extra to help with the hiring of a new streaker after the AFL ground ban.

Positions currently open for the following grounds.
SCG
GMHBA
UTAS
TIO

(Clothing optional but we do request a reasonable level of fitness to ensure sufficient time wasting)

Obviously the post is in jest but made me think, is TOG % based on game time or real time?

Really should be based on game time (ie there are 80 available mins of play) so being on/off at a time such as a streaker, stretcher etc doesn’t inaccurately dilute the actual purpose of the stat

To you and all who purvey their best ideas on this site, may you have a great day today, and wonderful time through to Xmas and beyond, at least until my team whips your arse and I finally go No 1, in what we dutifully call a Fantasy Footy site, but, is often an outlet of great lament instead!

Be kind to everyone today, even TedDougChris

Well darn, that counts me out… I only share my worst ideas on here. Maybe that’s why my teams always suck.

Merry Christmas to all… even you PA
