British XV's - 2015 Discussion Thread

So if I finish 5th, then I play 6th-8th and probably break into top 4.
And if I finish 4th, I play 1st-3rd and probably drop to as low as 7th.

Seems fair.

I vote we scrap that after this season.

That would make more sense

Was put out there for comment when draw was proposed and received no negative feed back so went ahead with it. Can review at end of season though.

Couple of ideas I am floating Round for next year depending on AFL draw.

1. We have no competitons during the byes thus having a one round home and away season of 15 matches, Still playing our GF in AFL Round 23. One week before the AFL final home and away season.

2. Place into groups based on ladder finishing positions this year and play the round Robin for the first three rounds then go into home and away.

Just a preliminary note as well will also be looking for someone to record and post scores for a period next year as at this time in 12 months I will be on holidays in Europe for 5 weeks. Internet will be flakey at times from what I have read due to WIFI on River cruise being satellite based.

Just letting you know that the R15 thread is locked Ringo

Ringo · July 12, 2015, 10:23:54 PM

Unlocked now thank you - how it got locked no idea unless I had cursor over the lock/unlock while I was trying to find why Dragons scores were so different to mine. Haha

kilbluff1985 · July 13, 2015, 10:17:47 PM

wonder if any teams are planning a rebuild this year

JBs-Hawks · July 13, 2015, 10:57:16 PM

i doubt it, theres no super old teams.

Ringo · July 14, 2015, 08:46:18 AM

Agree with JB Most teams have a good mixture of experience and youth.

Giants and Steins lacking in experienced players but will be able to trade for that.

Comments on this suggestion

As Giants and Steins have only won 1 and 2 games respectively over the home and away season thinking of making their priority National Draft picks 1 and 2 which they can use to trade or on left over draft players.

Currently Priority picks are allocated after Round 1 but I believe special circumstances exist this year with Giants and Steins to try and make them more competitive for next year,

Dragons will also have a priority pick but keeping that one after Round 1

kilbluff1985 · July 14, 2015, 09:13:08 AM

so Giants and Steins would get the top 4 picks?

yuk

#biased

plus we dont normally change rules mid year

Ringo · July 14, 2015, 10:34:26 AM

Not changing rules mid season as it is for discussion and will be voted on prior to draft,

It is meant to try and even comp a little, as all will agree (maybe not you ;) )that Giants and Steins desparately need some help if they are to be competitive. If that means giving them the first 4 picks so be it. There have been occasions this year where both these teams have been unable to even field a full team from their lists. No different to what happens in the AFL.

Giants No 1 player is Brad Ebert and Steins is Kieran Jack so that gives you an idea why their lists need a hand.

Not biased at all looking at ways to make the competition a little more even and avoid the % blow outs. Your position is mainly due to the injuries to Rockliff and you will bounce back next year similar to the Breakers this year who had injury issues last year.

kilbluff1985 · July 14, 2015, 10:51:10 AM

yeah i here you i'm not totally opposed to it

btw not just Rocky we had/have Duncan and B Crouch out also and T Mitchell at the start

and there % is like 10% lower then mine so a big drop

kilbluff1985 · July 14, 2015, 11:23:50 AM

another talented youngster at the Dragons Riley Knight got his first run on the weekend as a junior his stats were huge have big hopes for him still

Nige · July 14, 2015, 11:31:34 AM

I wouldn't be surprised if the Giants and Steins kept the priority picks and their actual draft picks.

More for the fact most people seem happy with their lists. (Mainly the stacked teams)
