I'd say it should be like picking an AF team. You'll have a Tall and 2 smalls. And if you know one of your KPD or KPF are sore/doubtful, you'd include a back up in your emergencies.

In this way it would have to be like for like.
Or a penalty, maybe half points or something similar.

Lockout will take place an hour or two before the opening game of the round.

How the emergencies score is another one of the finer details we would need to look at as there can be a few variations

- do you let a midfield emergency come in for a key forward?
- if somebody gets injured before scoring a point do they count?

Mid for key fwd no way.
Thats one of the failings of supercoach/afl fantasy draft formats.

But i like the idea of subbing out someone who is injured and yet to score a point
 
I reckon you either go with:

1) KP/Rucks can sub for KP/Rucks (no worries about F or D, so an emergency KPD could replace a KPF); or

2) General forwards / general defenders can sub for their KP counterparts.

In either case, mids only replace mids.

I think option 1 is superior and requires KP depth - it'd be my preference.

I don't think an emergency ruck should be able to play KPD. Maybe KPF at a pinch. Ideally you should have a KPF/ruck as your tall emergency to cover both. And have a swing man KP player in your side. That way you can cover everything
 
Here is my proposal, I hope it makes sense.

There are three factors that determine how emergencies work:

- The goal is to get 22 players named in valid positions, or as close as possible.
- The starting line up can be shuffled to accommodate.
- The order in which you name your emergencies determines which players come in, however valid positions take precedence if the 22 can't be shuffled to put all the players in their correct positions.

Hypothetical 1:
The nice and easy scenario
Late Withdrawl: Nick Riewoldt
Emergancies: Joe Daniher, Shane Savage, Reece Conca

Joe Daniher is your first emergency, therefore you can do a straight swap, no dramas.

Hypothetical 2:

Late Withdrawl: Nick Riewoldt
Emergancies: Shane Savage, Reece Conca, Joe Daniher

If you can re-shuffle your best 22 to create a fully valid line up then the player that comes in will be determine by the preference in which they were named.

If you had a third key forward playing for example, you could move them from the pocket to CHF, then bring a forward from the bench to the field and then bring in Shane Savage as your emergency for full points.

If you had a third key forward playing that you could put into CHF but you didn't have any other forwards in your line up you would then need to bring in Conca over Savage (as correct positioning supersedes preference)


The final part of my proposal is that if there is no way you can re-shuffle the 22 so that every player is in a valid position that is fine, however you will only score 50% of a players score if they are forced out of position.
 
Sounds good to me!

A quick scenario:

My team for example, I'll be starting Franklin, Westhoff and Darling all forward.

Say franklin is a late out, and my emergencies are written as follows:

Hickey, McGlynn, Wellingham.

And Hickey's already played and only scored 60. Ideally, I would like to play McGlynn, and hope he scores higher.
However, because Hickey is my first emergency and he fits the role is he locked in? Or would I be able to swing McGlynn in?

I'd say that Hickey would have to come in because he is first preference and is eligible.

Thoughts?

Correctamundo, it will all be locked in at selection.

All you need to do is name the emergencies in the order that you would like them to come in.

Just analysed my depth and I have 10 defenders, mids and forwards...I didn't think I'd have it that evenly spread..trade period will be interesting

Wow really? I have a lot more forwards and mids but thats only because all the potential superstar rookies are mid/fwds.. no real issues for me regardless

Thought now would be a good time to congratulate everybody on what has been a ripping draft thus far... amazing that it took us 35 rounds before we would allow 24 hours to pass without a pick being taken. Even with the two teams dropping out and us having to improvise on the run the commitment has been fantastic, here's to hoping it keeps up long term :)
 
Sorry for putting my earlier question in the draft thread, but I have another.

As far as I can tell multi position players are never defined are never defined as either key or general when they have forward or defender as one of their positions.

What are we going to do? Go by height? Go by position (rk/for or def = key, def/for = key, mid/for or def = gen), other options?

Cheers

It will be determined by what the AFL Prospectus has them down as.
