The All-Encompassing Footy Thread

Is that Sister Siberia?

To that jukebox in Siberia, poundin' out hysteria
All the Russians wanna rock, drop a ruble in the slot
Of that jukebox in Siberia, jukebox in Siberia

Hi rival opponents,

With the inferior AFL competition beginning in 3 weeks, attention in the workplace tends to shift towards the favourite pastime of Footy Tipping. Yours truly has ran a small tipping league for the last couple of years and would like to formally invite you to take part if it’s your thing. There was an open invite in the Gumbies thread but I know only a select few actually browse each team’s thread.

This is far from your standard competition where you are awarded 1 point for each correct tip. My league uses methods seen in BigFooty’s NFL tipping competition Armchair Endzone. For those not privy to it, allow me to give a brief rundown.

There are 3 separate competitions.

Confidence Rating – You select the team who you think will win and then assign a rating value between 9 (most confident) and 1 (least confident). You can only use each value once per round.

Next Bout – You goHead to Head in battle against another player using your score from the Confidence Rating competition. Results play out like the AFL season where there will be a ladder and finals played where a champion will be crowned.

3XKO – A survivor type comp where you begin by choosing 3 teams that must win. For every team you get wrong, you receive a strike (X) 3 strikes and you’re knocked out.

If you’re interested then let me know. Last day for entries is March 1.

Ps. Entries accepted in pairs to keep the numbers even so it may help to get a mate on board to guarantee your spot. Otherwise you will need to wait for another person to enter. (This on the provision that you are an odd number entry, i.e.: #17, #19, #21, etc.)

Just quoting this once because time is running out. Next person who PM's me wanting to get involved is guaranteed entry. Anyone else will need to find 3 others before the clock ticks over to March 2 (March 1 @ 11:59.59pm AEDT) otherwise they miss out. This is due to me accepting entries in lots of 4 rather than pairs because of scheduling for the Next Bout comp.

I must admit, waking up to hear the severity of Joel Selwood's hammy injury has disappointed me

Me too. A Selwood-less cats is a lot less daunting a round one opponent.

Is he the bad Selwood, or is he the Devils Brother from another mother?

So Demetriou is resigning. 11 years of service as CEO, like him not, has done a remarkable job in corportizing the game for the good.... and for bad.

Who does everyone think will be the successor?
