Loophole round with the Thursday game?

 

[TheRednWhite]

Big Toby McLean for me. Also, just imagine if Hoff plays both halves of football....

There’s also some guy called Macrae who goes alright.

 

[Zevon]

McLean's record against Port is pretty awful; probably irrelevant given the awesome role he is playing this year so he's a good loophole option. Still I'm probably going to take the big gamble (loophole is perfect for that) and chuck the VC on Westhoff. If he plays two halves and bangs out a 150 then awesome. If he underwhelms then Titch should absolutely dominate against the Crows.

Hoping it’ll be

Macrae 140 x2
McLean 125
Westhoff 125
Wingard 115
Rockliff 110
Would be a solid start to the weekend!!

How does the loophole work ?

How does the loophole work ?

Thursday night players are locked out at the start of that game, but all other players (bye and non-bye) are not locked out, so are able to be traded, swapped to interchange, swapped on / off VC or C, swapped to/from emergency status etc..

So you can put VC on a player from Thurs night game.

If you like their score, then you can put the C on any non-playing player, and that score of 0 won't count, so you'll get the doubled VC score.
It's best to put it on a bye player, as if you put it on a player whose team is playing but isn't listed, there is always the minute chance he gets named last minute and you'll be stuck with his score.

So I would suggest: VC on Macrae/McLean/Westhoff/Rocky/whoever you like from PA or WB

If you like the score (usually for me that is if they score 125+) then put a bye week player on field, eg. Max Gawn, and put the C on him. If you have a non-bye ruckman on the bench who is playing, that's fine, you just put the E on that player and you'll get their score in place of Gawn, and you'll get the VC score doubled instead of the C score.

If you don't like the score then put the C on whoever you like, as per usual.

The same applies for general scoring, so if for instance you have 7 forwards (plus a bye player eg. Fritsch) then you could put a PA/WB player on the bench with the emergency, if they score great you can put Fritsch on field and take another to the F8 position to not count their score. Fritsch doesn't play -> you get the looped emergency score. If you don't like the score then you keep the other player on field.

Two caveats:
ALL TRADES THAT ARE DONE BEFORE THURSDAY NIGHT ARE LOCKED IN, EVEN IF THEY DON'T INCLUDE PORT OR WB PLAYERS.
eg. if you downgrade Spargo (bye player) -> Kerr and upgrade someone else to McLean, then the Spargo trade and the McLean trade are both locked in.

ALL PLAYERS THAT HAVE PLAYED ON THURSDAY NIGHT ARE LOCKED IN.
eg. if you have Macrae on the bench without emergency (because he was out last week) then that score will not count. You must put them on field!

Then you can adjust the rest of the team until Friday lockout as per usual.

McLean VC into Titch C. Easy decision.

 

[JDWCE]

Torn between McLean and Macrae for the loophole but feel I have to go Macrae

You’re right - 140 vs 130 is hard to pick

Roll the dice and go Rocky!

I've got more common sense than that

Nice answer, but I'm a dumb ****, need to see an example, so these are my mids for this week (I know they're ****) but could you hold my hand and guide me thru this loophole thingy?

Leave it like that. Good job

Now if you like Macrae's score in the end, put the captaincy on a player who has the bye and you'll automatically get Macrae's VC score as your captaincy

Wack the captaincy "C" on Ahern and enjoy the Macrae points. nom nom

Macrae is going to have to score a monster score to keep that C off Titch though

What would you take as passable from Macrae to keep his score, 125+ ?

Yeah thinking exactly that

Ok, got it, if I dont like Macraes VC then swap the C to Titch before lockout Friday, yeah?

Now just got to get my braindead head around the whole E swap thingy

Thanks, hopefully next week will see Tarantula Fwd via Ballard, Phillips out for someone like Cripps/Dusty

 

[Sixpence]

If Macrae gets 130+ I'm taking it.

You have Ahern on field so can just put it on him. The E swap only applies if you have more players than number of spots on field, eg if you have 7 playing defenders and only 6 spots.
