361/4.

Kerridge 92, Simpson 118, Weitering 73 and Houli 78.
Did not finally decide on Simpson till yesterday night, quite pleased with Kerridge and Weitering due to their costs. Disappointed in Houli but he'll come good.
Also had Menadue on the bench as a mid. I have Jono O'Rourke on an extended bench but according to Hawks supporters he should play.

I went Houli to Simpson just before lockout... round 1 was a plus for that X v Y
 
For some reason after last night my richmond and carlton players are not locked and can still move them in and out of my team. Also in one of my leagues my combined score isn't showing. Is anyone else having this issue happen? I'm in two leagues with one starting this round and another in round 4 if that makes any difference.

i saw that too... i'd expect that a lockout snapshot was taken by the powers that be.... surely they couldn't be that dopey.. makes a mockery of it otherwise
i'd keep an eye on team selections prior to final lockout.

Quick- everyone trade out Dusty for Lambert!!!!!!
 
429/4 and think i'll take gibbs 127 VC and make it 556/5...:thumbsu:
I assume you had Gibbs, Kerridge, Graham and Simpson. Nice four, I hope my midfielders(none have played yet) do well for me.
What is this loophole about taking the vc score as a double? I've heard about it but I've never understood it.

Not able to trade as SacTown15 said earlier, players from all teams are still locked. Looks like Weitering lost a couple of points overnight and now I'm 4/359.

you assumed correctly

on weeks with partial lockouts you can VC a player who plays during the Partial lockout period (Rich v Carl this week) i selected Gibbs (VC)
because he scored a lovely 127 i can now bring a non playing player on the field and make him Captain for me that will be Mason Cox (C) and i'll simply put the (E) on Stef Martin who i have benched. so when Cox (C) doesnt play i'll get Martin's (E) score and then my VC (Gibbs) will become replacement Captain giving me double points for his score. its called the loop hole because it gives you a second chance at a Captain in these partial lockout weeks. if Gibbs didn't go so well I would have just picked a normal Captain.

Replaced the non-playing reserves who I was able to. Unfortunately I'm sailing pretty close to the wind at the moment so could only bring in two $125K rookies(Cameron from GCS and Papley from Sydney) and had to replace Cox with Frost from Melbourne($156K). Only have two reserves who will not play which isn't bad. Now that I have an idea of the teams I think I'll have a second look at what I can do. I initially didn't want to go for MacAffer even though he was dirt cheap because I wasn't sure of his JS but now he has been selected I could save some cash on other selections with him so I can get a premium. And accrue a bit of money as his worth goes up.

they appear locked out now... did any changes hold?

Would be risky. I know some players last year that didn't score round 1 because they went in with a team over the salary cap (A pre-season glitch in the game). So their team was reset

I went for the loophole as I've done a few times over the years, and I'm not keen on Houli's score as my VC but I can't pick a captain??

Anyone else notice this?

I've been able to select a captain. Had the VC on Houli too.
