It's back!
Great effort by Gtowncrow, Crouch, arrowman and Jinglebells32 to make it through 6 rounds but sadly the Crows didn't come to the party against the Giants. All four tipsters bombed at the same time so into the broom closet they go. No naming rights won.
The silver lining from the Crows' meek surrender is that we have a BRAND NEW goal kicking competition kicking off this week.
Current Reigning Champion: -
Legends (Dual Winners): Crouch, SugarShane, Brenton Davy
Hall of Fame: AdelaideFan14, Coopers, Hinkstuff, Dirty Bird, jenny61_99, AFC979810, ok.crows, Samcro24, Crowowowow, El Doederino, Redleg Crow, footy4ever, croweater 41
Broom Closet of Fame: johnnypanther, AFC979810, Glenno23, Brown_WOOLF, Tarasque36, DangerSloane, DD#23, Glenno23 again, Mattrox, Pilchard_Adams, Red mist, Coopers, Thetrader15, Milera2Betts, radiojake, gtowncrow, Crouch, arrowman, Jinglebells
NB: Participants enter the 'Broom Closet' when there is no outright winner and all remaining participants bomb at the same time.
Rules
Basic plot: You have to pick an Adelaide goal kicker each week. If he kicks a goal you move on to the next round. If he doesn't you're out. Can't pick the same player twice. Last person left wins.
Selections: You make your selections in this thread. Your selection must be in by the first bounce. If you pick someone twice you're eliminated. You can change your selection right up until the first bounce if you get a late vibe.
Late changes: If your selected player is named in the 22 but is a late withdrawal then you get whoever comes in for him. For clarity, a late change is any change that occurs after the Thursday Night selection announcement (Or Friday Afternoon if it's a Sunday game). If there's more than one late change then I'll match up players alphabetically to work out who replaced who. If one change occurs on a Friday after teams are announced on Thursday, and a further change occurs on match day, we'll still apply the alphabetical rule.
Forgetting: If you forget - bad luck! You're out.
Latecomers: If you haven't entered by the first bounce of the Crows' Round 8 match against Carlton then you can't play.
Immunity Card: If your player kicks the first goal of the game (the game, not just the Crows first goal) then you earn an Immunity Card. An Immunity Card can be used if your selected player fails to kick a goal. It's like a Get Out of Jail Free card.
Newish rule: If you select a player and they kick their first ever goal in AFL football you also earn an Immunity Card.
*one Immunity Card max. from any one act. Eg if a player kicks their first ever AFL goal AND it's the first goal of the game that only gains you one Immunity Card.
Fine Print Rule: If you forget to put a selection in one week but sneak through via an Immunity Card... then you will be allocated the Crows players with the lowest guernsey number who didn't kick a goal in that game. Just so that all players have made an equal number of selections.
Good luck all. Please add your selections below.
PS if you think the rules are too complicated now look at what they used to be:

Executive Summary
So yeah, you have to correctly guess which team will use their sub first and however many goals they kick gets added to your total score. If the Crows sub kicks more goals than the opposition sub you get an Immunity Card as well. If a team doesn't use a sub for whatever reason, then the game resets and you get all your wildcards back. You can play your joker whenever you want, but not in the even rounds or if our opposition is coming off a six day break. If your sub doesn't kick a goal but the player subbed off does, then PM me immediately with the code word and I'll grant you a double chance if it's before the final siren. The winner is the one with the highest number of goals per sub (minus wildcards).
