Still sitting at 102 with no Holmes. Expected more a shift.
If I can stay top 200 after FT I’ll be a v happy galllll

Holmes on track for a 70 point half, finished on 47. Story of my season.

 

[Shaunn]

Holmes heard i was bringing him in and stopped playing lmao.

Would have been worse if he kept going.

Dropped fair bit 1st quarter and a bit then started to rise a bit with just Sniff.

Hopefully keep the campaigner affordable. Was looking touch and go the way he started.

Can't it simply be if your emg in that position outscores anyone on field in that position you get the emg score?

Saves the need for complex TOG calculations etc. and means building a strong squad overall is much more important

Yeh if it were up to me I'd scrap emergencies altogether

You select 8 defenders at the start of the season. Each week your top 6 count.
Same in other positions.

Benefits the teams that maintain green dots.

I've only fallen back from 900 odd to 1100 too. Appears as if plenty got bitten by the defender rookie stitch ups.

 

[Shaunn]

Even with Trainor and Reid onfield im still 500 spots above this round lol. Will drop a little i think but honestly expected to drop alot.

I think that would be too low variance. Come post byes teams would be far too template for it to be enjoyable. It would be so very AFL Fantasy to follow the AFL and rather than fix the underlying problem (remove the sub rule), they try and tack on a half assed, ill thought out solution that will create longer lasting negative impacts.

 

[Shaunn]

Smith lost 7 pts in the break smh.

Is it just me... or in H2H matchups, you dont see your opponents proper captain choices until the last game starts? And all round you see some bogus C choice where they have played and their scores a doubled.

 

[Phar Ace]

You can only play the cards you're dealt

The choice which card is either skill or

Trusted Geelong

Ted Clohesy has been a late in 3 times this year already, and named sub. That's one way to name a sub without making them feel bad. Just leave them out of the team altogether and when they get the late in, they're probably grateful to be named sub.

Yeah saw you all said he’s got the tag now
Let’s hope it continues

You can't see the details of their trades until the later of the player that they have traded out, or the player they have traded in, has played. So even if they traded say Clohesy to Daicos, it will look like Clohesy is in their side with the VC all week until Clohesy plays. Vice versa, if someone has traded say Ned Long to Holmes, it will look like Ned Long is in their side until Holmes' game starts. It's because of the edit trade function which now means players can change their trade ins / outs, until both are locked, so it doesn't show you what's actually happened until both have played.

Can they **** off? 14 points lost at half time isn't ****ing ideal

It would take you longer to get a "full squad" though as you would be completing 2 extra upgrades per position. I doubt many teams (except for the very top) would end up with 30 premiums.

You could get a solid 22 and then one extra player in each line I reckon. Would also encourage more people to go for the one week play type trades (like a key forward against the Eagles/Tigers).

Holmes to the bench after doing absolutely nothing

Holmes gets a +3 when his kick was instantly smothered, seen those never paid a +3.
