As with last year, the reserves comp will not run during the bye rounds. Enough teams will struggle to name a first XV as it is, so not too much point having reserves as well.

Had to have the Tigers this week.  :(

[Nige]

Tigers have a full team, I don't even think we have an XV.

Can we forfeit?

ggwp.

Are we allowed to play Fasolo in defence AND the forward line?

[Toga]

We've got none of our first-choice backs this week :-X

[Nige]

We've got none of our first-choice backs this week :-X

We've got one forward this week.  :P

[GoLions]

We've got one forward this week.  :P

Potentially 2, pending judgement on the Fasolo being played fwd and def issue

Yeah... I'm not banking on it.  :'(

Imo you should be able to name him in both positions, but you only get half his score :P

I see your 50%, and I raise you 80%

Maybe I'm just bitter because it's clear I'm destined to lose at least two of three games over the bye weeks (against 3rd and 1st no less) and even though I get it because this comp wants to be unique but I just don't understand how it's considered a good idea when some teams can't even field an XV.

I'm going to do some maths on you :P

22 x 18 = 396 AFL listed players who play every week.
396/16 = 24.75. On average the AXV sides have 24.75 players playing for them each week, lets round down to 24 per team which removes the 12 worst fantasy scorers each week (So majority of subs)

A third of the teams have a bye, so if a third of your 24 players have a bye each week then that = 16
And you only need 15 to play each week :D

But this is an average figure so obviously not true for everyone. I kinda like it this way though, it's cool 8)

Now explain like I'm 5 because I don't like numbers.  :P

[Jroo]

We've got no rucks. Minson and Martin have the bye. Belly dropped and Daw, McKernan, Downie and Cox can't get a game.

Should be sweet in all other positions tho

Not gonna lie, I reckon you're unlucky on McKernan at the very least. With Belly dropped, I'm surprised the Bombers didn't pick him.
