As an early Janury team I am a big fan of this.
Still my first iteration, so mid December team and still going 25 days later - that's gotta be a record

I somehow still haven't put together a team which is scary me senselessStill my first iteration, so mid December team and still going 25 days later - that's gotta be a record
Lol Warnie still being a smartass to people when asked when it's going to launch...he really is the worst.
Last day of early Jan today and crickets. Gonna have to change their little thing on the AFL preview articles to 'with Fantasy launching in late Jan', soon.

I reckon Warnie copped more s**t than the actual web developers. They are probably laughing in a corner somewhere

It almost seems like they are delaying the opening until after they have done all club preview videos.
Bastards should just drop them all in one day. Spreading them out actually makes me want to listen less you dimwits.

I honestly get the feeling that they don't know when it will release - as even Selby has no idea, and he's pretty in the know.
It would be fine if they would just say that, and admit there's technical issues...but instead they lambast the general public (particularly Warnie), and make out like we're being unreasonable for continously asking where it is - when they themselves said pre Christmas and then early Jan - and have not lived up to either of those dates.
It's not unreasonable to ask what's happening, when it constantly gets delayed, it's verging on a month later than SC - and there's complete crickets about what/why the rollout has no actual planned start date.
Warnie's attitude just makes it that much worse.

As much as i love the banter they bring to the table sometimes they just piss me off mainly Warnie as he is the one who blocked me on twitter for asking a perfectly normal question
.Wouldn't surprise me if somehow the web dev team ****ed something up so bad it didn't know how to fix it(like me and my team every year) though hence the delay.

Selby mentioned something about implementing NFT in his podcast, but not sure if that's speculation or not. If this is all over paying for a fantasy subscription with crypto/trying to implement some sort of digital collectables, I think most of the fantasy community would lose their minds, haha

I like Selby but if he or any of the Traders/Fantasy people have anything to do with the scam that is NFT's i will put them on permanent ignore.
You won't be the only one

Lol that’s a spectacular misreading of the room if they’re having anything to do with NFTs. The entire crypto community is reeling at the moment. If you were going to try and get in on the hype surely you’d have done it this time last year, not now.
And I say this as somebody who actually understands and believes in some of the technology that underpins crypto. NFTs are (and always were) absolute worthless junk even at the height of the craze.

This is the NFT thing. I don't think it has anything to do with fantasy per-se, however before Christmas Warnie said, and i believe there were some articles, about Fantasy launching with a new single sign on secure account for all AFL content. I assume that maybe part of that single sign on account is in connection with the ability to buy and hold NFTs and perhaps like NFT avatars and stuff - so i suspect implementing that is the hold up, rather than the Fantasy itself. And while they aren't inherently linked, I guess given you'll have a single account for all your AFL content - NF stuff may creep in through your general account (i.e avatars).
This is what I was worried about. It's a very slippery slope once this stuff becomes more commonplace.
Perhaps next year it then becomes: 'oh for just 99 cents you can customize your personalized avatar.' Then the following year: for just 1.99 you can have them wearing your team's jersey. Then after that: 'you can design a custom avatar that looks like you, and pick yourself as the coach to be placed on field, for just 9.99 a year. And so on and so forth.
All of a sudden, a free game is polluted by digital currency in the form of NFT's and microtransactions, and our game is basically the same as Besthesda, EA, Activision etc.
Makes me sick that they'd even consider this route - but the AFL is a profit at all costs organization, so can't say I'm the least surprised thay their little 'cash cows' in the Traders, would spruik it and get on board so the money train keeps on rolling.
I wouldn't pay 1000,000000000000000 (Dangercoins thank you very much - I paid 19.99 to get the personalized name change
) to be mentioned on their ridiculous show, lmao

I would bank on the opposite being true.
In that they know its not open for another 3 weeks so they're padding what little content they have over as long as possible to stop the uprising.

It's interesting to see a lot of people on Taranto, only one Richmond midfielder since they entered their prime averaged over 100. So is Taranto really that much of a generational player he will break their system and score over 100. So that leaves 5 points on the bone for him, compared to Rozee 12 points, DC 19 points
Are you better going Cogs/Dunks + Rozze/DC
The other interesting one is Titchell
Only one player Crisp (mainly helped by his first half of the year) went over 90 in McRae new style of football. Also worth noting the only team that had a bigger points regression is Adelaide. So can you expect him to break the system and do a Laird

I think you might be right.
I heard a bit on worpel in the most recent point of difference podcast.
Something along the lines of Worpel seagulling for a cheap sideways possession instead of running forward to be at the next contest.
And Mitchell flamed him for it. Never been back to the middle since and given defensive duties/tagging roles etc.
Who's to say he's ever going to be back in the middle and if he does, it might not be a lucrative role anway.
Still a watchlist for me though. Too cheap to ignore.

What I want to know is, they have literally an entire year to work on this sort of thing for the following year.
Why is it they seem to jump on it last minute.
