Competitions 2014 Carlton Ultimate Footy League

[Mezzoculo]

Well it's not yet Rd 1 (for the league). We'll see how the other baggers feel about 2014, let alone keeper leagues for 2015. I'm definitely in though.

Not sure about category based. More fun?

More strategic. Have to win five of nine categories (Score, percentage, kicks, handballs, marks, hitouts, tackles, frees for, frees against) to win the round. Brings non-traditional fantasy players into the mix.

Simmo is untouchable

You and I, both know this is untrue..

You would of gave him to me, if I agreed on your trade.

With Walker out & now playing in the middle again, he is now untouchable

Unless you offer me the world.

 

[King of Ruin]

Caddy is 3/4 the world. I know you want him.

Restores that blood he lost, he is the world.

Caddy is 3/4 the world. I know you want him.

I do. And you had your chance to get Simmo before he became untouchable.

 

[King of Ruin]

I do. And you had your chance to get Simmo before he became untouchable.

Should of thrown in a few beers with your trade, and you would of won me over.

 

[King of Ruin]

Plus, I already got my back line Beardo. So I'm all good.

Any chance you could change one of our league settings? We've go the 'Lineup Change Lockout' set for first game of the round. Could you push it back to either "First Saturday Game of the Week' or 'Players Lock at Individual Games' so that we don't get screwed by Thursday games or late changes to teams?

I can push it this week to the first Saturday game of the week, because I dare say a fair few of us will be at the MCG tonight when teams for the other games of the week are announced.

I'll move it back to first game of the week for the rest of the season, though, until we have another week where there's a game on Thursday night. I agree we shouldn't have to be restricted by the Thursday games, but late changes are a part of the game and shouldn't be accounted for.

Thanks.
I disagree about the last bit though. Was in a competitive league last year that didn't have rolling lockout and late changes took the fun right out of it. Especially later in the season.

I prefer no rolling lockouts myself. When setting line ups it's a risk you take if someone has a niggle etc.

Glenn Manton would have been first picked for handball category. That guy hated kicking the sausage.

 

[etsal1]

Lachie Whitfield going cheap. What a tease.

 

[Kensa Carter]

Really lucked out this round with West Coast obliterating the Dees.

 

[Jeremias]

Fair to say my title defense didn't get off to the start I hoped.

A loss first up has me on the back foot but it's a long season....expect the reigning champions to bounce back strongly.

 

[etsal1]

Of course when I drop a player to the bench they decide to actually perform. Changes coming this week.

 

[happydude]

I'm tanking for draft picks

Curnow did that for me - 110 points! Of course, when I promote him he'll end up sitting on the bench the whole game...

To be fair, Curnow scored highly in rd 1

Varcoe - 70 in rd 1. Pulls out a ton yesterday.

Brent Moloney - 62 in rd 1. 106 yesterday.

 

[Bluella]

To be fair, Curnow scored highly in rd 1

Yes but I didn't bloody well think he'd do it twice in a row!! Very happy to be wrong though.

 

[Mezzoculo]

Anyone interested in Tom Hickey? I would consider downgrading him for another ruck and upgrading on another line for the right offer...

I might have one for you, depending on how he pulls up on Thursday.

 

[Jeremias]

Just a FYI, Bluella - beating a moderator in fantasy football is a cardable offence.

Ha - the site gave me longer odds too. Love being the underdog! Bloody Barlow, though - might struggle this week unless someone else steps up.

 

[Bluella]

So, I just delisted a ruckman if anybody's interested.

 

[etsal1]

Is the lockout tonight just a partial one or is it a full lockout?
