The 2013 Bye rounds

[Jcpdragonx]

I can't be stuffed looking properly into the next 2 rounds. If my ranking was good then I'd care and put hours into it, but its not worth it. All I know is that my midfield in R13 is screwed and I have no rucks in R12.

Byes and substitutes are total dreamteam buzzkilles. They don't add to the excitement of competition, they're just another means of ****ing your team over so much that you cannot be ****ed playing anymore.

Bring back 22 round seasons with a split round. Harden up you poonces, NBA and NHL players are playing every other day.

Any idea on the likeliness of that happening? He has been out for a while now so I would have thought he would come back through the seconds.

This says he is out for another 2-3weeks, but it doesn't say if he will come straight back into the firsts:

They've actually been saying 2-3 weeks for the past few weeks, so I doubt he will get up for round 13.

 

[King Patty]

I will have 17 this week, could have had 18 but choose to get stanton in the middle, as no good defender or forward rookies to downgrade to.
Next week i should have 21 available to play on field so should be a good round.
the last week i am in some trouble as have lots of these players as you can see below and they are mostly top liners.
Dyson Heppell
Brendon Goddard
Brent Stanton
Jobe Watson
Dane Swan
Scott Pendlebury
Luke Ball
Garry Ablett
Jaeger O'Meara
Travis Cloke
Brent Macafffer
Lachie Whitfield
Total 12/30

am looking to offload either whitfield/omeara or macaffer that week. to Swans mitchell + one other

 

[CaptScott]

19 playing after trades, though like everyone have several rookies that might miss, and then throw in those Swan/Heppell rumours...

Hopefully it will work out well, though expect to see many of you in the vent thread tonight.

 

[TedDougChris]

Up to 20 this week for me. But there's a lot of 'IF's' in that 20.......

 

[ashley12]

20 pure trades reality is probably 19 or 18 if Thurlow misses

 

[ashley12]

Pre trades rather

 

[swans4eva]

I am thinking:

Luey ----> Kreuzer
Hodge ----> SSelwood

The exact same trades I'm doing. Was initially trading Moloney instead of Hodge but couldn't afford it.

 

[Demon in Hell]

Do we still need to select a captain during the bye weekends? Does our captain still earn double points?

 

[Torz]

Do we still need to select a captain during the bye weekends? Does our captain still earn double points?

Yep. Round 13 will be interesting though. Will probably be going SJ without checking the fixtures.

 

[Commissioner Gordon]

Probably a stupid question, do emergencys only count if the starting 22 played who doesn't play is in the same position? Eg could emergency daws score replace a late withdrawing swans?

 

[ashley12]

Assuming you mean late withdrawal Gawn rather then swans, but yes, that would play.

However, you couldn't have say, Ben Kennedy as your M9 and expect him to cover a missing ruck

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

Is it just your best 18 players or do they need to be on the field? I have 17 on the field but a backup ruck is playing.

 

[ashley12]

Anyway, ended up going

Sinclair --> Swallow (lose mid/fw dpp)
Bellchambers (lol me) --> Nicholls

Leaving me with about 120k spare

Next week

Evans -> Hrovat
Whitfield/O'Meara -> Cotchin

After that

Scotland --> Hanley/Burgoyne/premo back
O'Meara/Whitfield --> Tom Mitchell

Round 14

Brett Goodes --> Gibbs
Tom Lee --> Daniher

Leaving me hopefully for Round 14 something along the lines of

Goddard, Birchall, H.Shaw, Enright, Gibbs, Hanley, (Thurlow, Docherty)

Ablett, Swan, Watson, Barlow, Cotchin, Swallow, Priddis, Vlastuin (T.Mitchell, Hrovat)

Roughead, Cox (Blicavs, Nicholls)

Johnson, Martin, Franklin, JJKennedy, Macaffer, B.Kennedy (Staker, Daniher)

A good example of how a reasonable team can be messed up by not fixing a couple crucial rookie errors early (I missed Dwyer, Jones, Terlich and a bunch of others)

Is it just your best 18 players or do they need to be on the field? I have 17 on the field but a backup ruck is playing.

Pretty sure its the 18 on the field, so having anyone on the bench wont score

 

[Spider Klein]

Unsure. It says that you have 18 of your best 22 scoring including any emergencies if necessary.

Not sure if

A = Emergency only emergencies for a person that is out in the same position

B = Emergency will count regardless so 8 playing mids and a mid emergency can be played if only 17 on field

C = Emergency scoring 50 will replace a starter in the same position scoring 40

A bit unclear to me.

 

[Suma Magic]

Spider Klein

It's A. Or I'm 95% sure.

 

[54Dogs]

Just one point to note, if your captain is on the field but not in the best 18 scoring players his score will not be doubled and the VC won't be counted. Essentially no captain

is that correct? a bit dodgy

 

[btemplar88]

i got 1889 first week, 1945 second, and 1767 third.

 

[amazingjoshy]

1917, 1966 and 1839 for me. Started 12k, up to 6k prior to this round.

 

[Scrotes2000]

1870
1985
1739

Dads team -
1923
2078
1855

 

[W.C. Fry]

Had 19 players each week. Scored 1912, 1915, 1905. Consistant if nothing else

Can't remember exactly where I stood before the byes started but have moved up to 1587. Really happy. I love the byes, a little strategy and planning pays off bigtime.
