Why not create a thread for until the first round so we can organise details and then either delete it or lock it and let it go

Instead if deleting or locking the thread, I know it's possible to just merge the new thread into the RCT.

As for comp, we have the UT draft, jumper tipping, and BigFooty Tipping. Is there anything else anyone wants to do?

My opinion is that seeing we already have UT, we won't have a need for AFL Fantasy/SC/VSDT.

The way I see it, active members who want to get involved will ask. They always do.

Thoughts on having a 2015 fantasy/dreamteam/etc. thread?

Valuable posts are being lost in the RCT with regards to league details on things such as tipping, fantasy etc.

Doesn't have to be much. Just a thread where the OP has all comp details, league id's and passwords.

I made a Fantasy team, fully getting into it. Keen for a league to come last in!

Why is the use of the acronym UT being perpetuated, you're confusing the hell outta me.

I have no idea why I typed that

 

[Jack Stevens]

I'm in for UT, just need to get to a computer and sign up.

With the UT draft, throughout the season can only one person have a player at a time? Or is it open after the draft? Or is there no trading players in and out at all?

UT

UT

During the draft, each person will take it in turns to select players for their side (no person will be able to select a player that has already been drafted). During the season, a person will be able to drop a player from their squad, and another person will be able to pick that player through free agency. A player can also go directly between two squads without becoming a free agent.

So are players who went undrafted out of the competition or automatic free agents? Or does every player in the AFL get drafted?

Free agents.

The spread of players we use in the league i'm in (assuming 12 teams or so)

5 backs
7 mids
1 ruck
5 forwards

1 bench player in each position

8 reserves

Giving you a squad of 30.

Dreamteam scoring obviously. Any other kind is inferior.

I went for a more DT line-up, but will change it now.

Anything else you'd like me to personalise?

 

[El_Scorcho]

If you go for a DT lineup, the problem comes when everyone needs 2 rucks and most AFL clubs only play 1.

This is a grown man with all sorts of advisers making the decision to eat an onion. Politicians confirmed for living on a different planet.

 

[Jack Stevens]

I've finally found a politician who represents me. I often snack on whole raw onions.

I don't see anything wrong with eating a raw brown onion, so long as it's been picked recently and had matured while in the soil. The Chinese have been doing it since 500BC since the time of Ghengis Khan. You see, the thing about onions with those conditions is that the skin is actually very similar to an apple in texture - it can be in storage for weeks, if not months, before it hits store shelves and by that stage it's dry and bland. There isn't a whole lot of flavour but it's relatively sugary, therefore kind of sweet. It balances out with the sourness of the insides of the onion and is actually tasty. I just made all this up.

You just saw the word "Chinese" and posted the first clip that came to your mind, didn't you.

And the fact that both stories are completely fake.

That's a secret.


And it's UT.

To be fair, eating raw onion is meant to be good for you. I don't remember why but supposedly it is.

Guernsey aficionados, which round last year did Carlton wear the ultra-classical monogram displayed on Gryce Bibbs' AFL Player's ranking? I've deadset never seen it before.

Round 10 v Adelaide.

Was just going to post those pics.

Any particular reason they wore it?

Most of the other teams had named jumper. Plus it was 100 years since our 1914 Premiership in that jumper.
