Round 2 lockout?

[StGradey]

is this weeks lockout before Thursdays game a full lockout or a partial lockout?

 

[Bomber4ever]

Full lockout this week, partial lockout will return for the split round.

 

[StGradey]

Ohk thanks wasnt sure because of the thursday - saturday game

 

[GUMBLETRON]

A little inconsistent there.

Strange they wouldn't do another partial lock out again for this round as it worked smoothly last week. Probably not as critical as round 1 but could have come in handy when deciding on emergencies.

I loved the partial lockout and it did work smoothly, apart from the loophole where people named a Carlton/Richmond player as vice-captain and then manipulated their captaincy selections the following day if their vice-captain (e.g. Eddie Betts - 136) had scored well.

Whats the purpose of Vice-Captain???

If your C doesn't play, your VC will become your C for the week.

He gets double points if your named captain doesn't play.

Yeah, plenty of teams would have had a bloke on the pine who they could click on as a non-playing captain (e.g. Buddy, Rockliff).

This.

I'd think the reason being that with Good Friday being a public holiday, it's unfair to expect someone to be hanging around at Supercoach to unlock the partial lockout, and then relockout etc on the Friday. Well, that's my guess anyhow.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

I wouldn't want to pay those servers public holiday rates either.

A more important question...I presume Mondays teams won't be named until Friday arvo? And Sundays squads will be named only a couple of hours before lockout on Thursday arvo?

 

[Chism]

No partial lockout this week makes it pretty hard to have all your players playing this week and out on the park. We are going to get locked out Thursday and there is a Monday game making it impossible to know what the team selections are going to be for this game thus making it hard to allocate emergencies on Thursday night before the Blues V's Lions match.

Yerp, I wouldn't be risking Carl Peterson / JKT / Mitch Duncan / James Podsiadly or any other 'maybes' on the field.

Are the Thursday teams and Saturday squads being announced this afternoon?

According to afl.com teams page http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/91401/default.aspx "The other 14 clubs will name their squads from 5pm AEDT on Thursday."
