Gilbert was a good get. Wanted him to last til my next pick!
 
Gilbert will ave 9-100.
Its just a matter of him staying on the park.
I meant to take him earlier but kept talking myself out of it because of his durability.

In hindsight i wish i picked him up because my backline is full of dinosaurs.

Always seems to get to this time of night and I'm left wondering whether 12Chill has gone to bed and that's it for the night or not......

Cockatoo and Paparone were the top two for my next pick.

First time in a while I've been down to my third preference.

Haha I'm the opposite. I have been lucky to have players I like make it to me almost every round...

Scully going to the pick before mine left me with my fourth preference.

Ok guys…


I have been thinking about how the fixture is going to work. I agree that an 11 round season just wouldn’t work. I don’t like the idea of having everyone play once and then have a small handful of teams play each other twice because it means that fixture draw could have too big of an impact on who makes the finals.


I propose we mix it up and do something I haven’t seen in fantasy footy before. I have been playing around with some fixtures and it seems like it would give us a match every week and it wouldn’t challenge the integrity of the competition too much. I propose that we have some WWE-esque Triple Threat Matches.


The normal fixture with your traditional 1 v 1 matches will take place throughout the season with some triple-threat rounds mixed in between.


In a triple threat match each team will name their best 22 like they would any other week and the scoring will work the same. The only difference is you are competing against two other teams..


The highest scoring team would score 3 points, the next highest scoring team 2 and the lowest scoring team 1 point.


There will be 11 Standard matches throughout the seasons in the following rounds:

1 – 3 – 5 - 6 - 7 – 9 - 11- 12 – 16 - 18 - 20

The triple threat matches would take place in the following rounds:

2 – 4 – 8 – 10 – 13 – 14 – 15 – 17 - 19

The finals will take place over the final three rounds:

Round 21: 3rd vs 6th and 4th vs 5th

Round 22: 2nd vs (3rd/6th) and 1st vs (winner of 4th and 5th)



The value of having the triple threat system in place for mine is that it minimises the effect that the fixture can have on the competition. Every team will play every other team in a triple threat match at least once and each team will play seven teams twice each.

By having a 3-2-1 point system for these games it means that the difference between playing a top team twice and a bottom team twice is minimised. Even if there is a team that is miles better than the rest of the competition, by playing him twice you are only going to be disadvantaged for 2 premiership points maximum as opposed to 4 in a normal fixture.

It also gives us something to do over the bye rounds but the matches wont be enough for teams to have to drastically alter their line up just to accommodate bye rounds which I don’t think is good for the long term health of the competition.


Let me know what you guys think, I hope I’ve explained this alright.

For the record, I'm assuming (and drafting very much on this basis) that we're either going with the above or Phoenix's 2*double header alternative and we are therefore playing all through the season including bye weeks.

I think this is a great result but just making sure that's the case. Phoenix's seems easier to my simple mind and would have the double headers in weeks 2 and 3 for what its worth but am happy with either pretty much.

Cheers

Games can be played every week. I'm not sure 100% how it will take place yet.

My preference is still to do it in a way that the games over bye weeks aren't worth as much as normal games.
