Purple 77

I don't think any of us thought this fantasy comp would last 10+ years. And for those who haven't been around since the start, you too have been here a bloody long time now.

I couldn't imagine watching AFL and not having a stake in the likes of Jayden Laverde, Tom Sparrow or Angus Sheldrick. I know exactly how each came to my list, their AFL journey and... by extension, almost all the others currently on an AFL list.

And you're all the same! (or at least share in this passion)

So few are as devoted to engaging in a made-up competition as convoluted as the AFL, and gathering a library of information that only enhances our connection to AFL... lest it be useful in any other circumstance (other than Gridley).

Whilst it can be laborious at times, I love this game and the food it provides to the inner-child within.

Thank you to all for taking part, and good luck for Season 13.

But not too much. Less than mine.



Thursday night PARTIAL LOCKOUT at 7.30pm AEDST

Friday night FULL LOCKOUT at 7.40pm AEDST




A REMINDER ABOUT SUBMISSION RULES:
- green = new
- 4 emergencies are permitted.
- You don't have to name 4 emergencies, however, I won't be finding a replacement emergency for you. If you do name a full squad however, and make a mistake in your submission, I will continue to correct these using your list preferences as a guide.
- NO LOOPHOLING ALLOWED - please see this post. No more naming of tactical donuts. If your D4 is out of action after a partial lockout, and your next most preferred player at E1 has already played, tough luck. You name a new D4.
- Flood/Attacks now incur bonus/penalties as outlined here https://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php?topic=114712.msg2030368#msg2030368
- You are permitted to indicate whether you'll flood/attack and REST both before and AFTER the partial lockout.
    - You can no longer go 'Small'
- Players are eligible to be subbed out of a match if they take NO part of the 2nd half of an AFL match, or if they themselves are an AFL substitute (green vest) after HT only
    - i.e. if your player starts the game with a green vest and are subbed on or before HT, they will not be eligible to be WXV-subbed
- Players are ONLY subbed out of a match if they have an eligible replacement (listed either on the utilities or emergencies)
- If you were forced to name an OOP player in your XV, and that player then becomes eligible to be subbed, I will replace them with another OOP player.
- The way you TAG players has changed as outlined here https://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php?topic=114712.msg2030366#msg2030366
- You can name your 'train-on' players in their 'trained' position at 25% penalty rather than 50%. If they are required to cover a starting 13 position from the bench or emergencies, they will only do so if there are no other players from the bench or emergencies available.

Can BA make it a threepeat?

Is this finally Rome's year?

Will Max take Seoul to the ultimate glory?

For me, it's between these 3 teams this year. Simple reasoning is because they have multiple players that go large.

The likes of Rio and Toronto last in particular were quite successful from investing in a team that wasn't top-heavy; Toronto was only a handful of points away from winning the flag, in fact.

But it was those extra points... that Rome, BA and Seoul's players can provide, IMO.
