Welcome to The Pieman 2019 – now in its eighth year
Named after the Bulldog's highest ever goalscorer, Simon "The Pieman" Beasley, this comp is designed to add a little thrill to every goal we kick during the year.
Once again Vinegar Mess will be helping out this year – thanks VM!
AND FOR SOMETHING NEW … PIEMAN X!
We have a little add-on this year, called PiemanX. There’s no obligation to play but it might add a little bit of fun and intrigue without requiring you to do anything more (other than nominate your PiemanX teammates at the start of the year).
PiemanX is where you form superteams by linking up with two other Pieman entrants, making teams of three. So there’s a separate ladder for these “superteams”. See details in a separate post below.
HOW IT WORKS
The idea of The Pieman is you pick a team of 6 Western Bulldogs players and they get Pieman Points for every goal they kick. How many points they register is determined by the handicap value they are allocated at the start of the year. Only your best 4 player scores each match count towards your weekly Pieman score.
You also get 11 chances over the home and away rounds at selecting a "banker" to earn some bonus points. The banker has to be one of the players in your team. Banker Points are calculated the same way (goals x handicap). The only differences are that your banker points automatically go onto your weekly total (regardless of the best 4 scores) and you can't get more than 50 points per banker goal, even if your banker's handicap is higher than 50.
There's also a mid-year trade period in which you can offload injured players and non-performing spuds in exchange for new players (but subject to new handicaps too).

HOW TO ENTER
1. Read the full rules below if you're not sure how it works (or ask me a question)
2. Check out the 2019 handicaps (these will be posted tomorrow night)
3. Select your six players
4. Post them here before the start time of our Round 1 match on 23 March
We'll create a Pieman match thread for each round. If you want to nominate a banker for that round you do it there before match start time.
