AFLTM State of Origin: Round 1

[Dav]

ROUND 1

Victoria Metro vs Victoria Country at the MCG
South Australia vs Western Australia at Adelaide Oval
Bye - Allies
​

Round 1 of the AFLTM State of Origin is here, with a couple of big clashes to get us underway. The two Victorian sides will be playing off, as well as SA vs WA, with Allies getting the bye. This round will be the toughest of all, with roughly half the players unavailable due to 8 clubs playing in the AFLTM finals. A win here is crucial.

TEAM SELECTION​

Please name your 18+7 for this round by opening bounce of the Richmond-Geelong game. Some teams may not be able to name a full bench but that's okay. If you can't name more than 3 bench players, let me know and I'll grant special provisions. Same goes when you don't have enough KP players; I may be able to allow you to call one up or grant a hardship. Communicating with me as early as possible is key.

Like I've said before, players that are playing AFLTM this week are unavailable for selection. To help out, I have listed all available players from your squads for this week. This list does not however account for injuries, suspensions or AFL selection so make sure to double check your teams.

I reckon if it was a real life scenario Nick Haynes would play KPD. I know he’s done it before and often plays on keys, so would be good for that. Bit annoying I’ve copped my toughest rival in the hardest round ahaha.

Also I assume we still have the 50% for non position thing so we can at least fill a team?

 

[knobby]

Great work kdavva74

Can I get Shannon Hurn as a hardship KPD please?
If not I’ll swing Schoenmakers back to KPD and apply for Shane Edwards KPF

More than happy to grant Haynes as a hardship, and yeah the 50% thing still flies. If you have any long term injuries you may be able to bring another ruck in but if not you'll cop the penalty.

I can't really give Hurn as a KPD I'm sorry, or Edwards as a KPF. What I can offer though is that you have Sam Day and Matt Scharenberg in your squad, both with long term injuries. You can bring 2 replacements in for them and I'd recommend a KPD.

My possible rucks are LTIs haha. Big Boy the next ruck I have and he’s out. That’s why I need Dawson to be available haha

A stacked midfield but no rucks.... Sorry about the circumstances should be a lot easier for the remaining rounds.

C: Gary Ablett (vc) - Dyson Heppell - Jack Steven
HF: David Mundy - Jeremy Cameron - Tom Rockliff

kdavva74 surely Lewis Taylor is forward eligible? Plays more forward than mid?

I'm going to cop a lot of 50% so might as well get one that probably should be there.

No issue there for me. Even if there was Mundy is fine in a pocket. Only 50% I see is Hopper.
