Lioness,

As long the bet doesn't involve me digging into my pockets for more money or humiliating myself in public, I'm in.

Wearing a North scarf on the way home from a North vs Essendon match?

 

[sainter]

Now that is something I can relate to.

Well maybe not a blue and white scarf.

Try winning 2 games for a year and attempting to remain positive and upbeat. You just have to keep the act up until you get home, then start punching a few walls and creating a bit of havoc. Worked for me.

So what did everyone score for round one?

My two teams got 513 and 494, which seem like very low scores, but I wonder how much the new rules have brought the points down.

 

[BIG POPPA PUMP]

How did u get your scores so quickly? Arent they in Weds Australian?

From all the teams I reckon SpecialBruces looks the best. But I dunno about Feast as one of your rucks.

 

[eastaugh36]

what is the phone number to ring to get my teams progress after round 1 ?

I just added them up from the stats in the Oz. Took about ten minutes.

 

[sainter]

I scored 483 for the week, putting me in 6579th place overall.

Did anyone notice that the winner for the week had 10 entries in the top 50? He must have entered over 100 teams to have a strike rate like that.

Tom,

In previous years I had worked my scores out myself, but it is good to find out the ranking of your team at the same time. The winner scored 595 for the round so your scores weren't too bad at all.

I guess that's one of the areas where the AFL.com.au internet comp has the edge. Much easier to find out where you are.

David Richmond must have seriously entered 120 teams. Looking at the photo of him, I reckon he's a guy who spends most of time sitting on the couch watching the footy.

 

[BIG POPPA PUMP]

I just realised you dont get points for hitouts

, I knew they had a few rule changes but I didnt know that was one of them.

And I stacked my team with ruckmen.

 

[Olmy]

I've entered 5 teams. I don't have the names on me - and I haven't worked out their scores yet, either.

Yeah, it looks like this year, you only get 1 point for a kick/handball/mark, 3 points for a goal, 1 point for a behind, and extra points for a "goal-bag", and BOG.

Last season, they had points for the one percenters (ie: clearances, tackles, etc.). I guess they are trying to make the field more even.
