2015 WXV Awards and 2015 Rules Discussion

[meow meow]

It's so good having you in Worlds Meow - hard to argue with everything you've presented

Just a shame all this has come out after the vote

Great work

TBH it shouldn't have even gone to a vote, or it should have been worded like "do you want a points cap that actually does something?"

I'm actually quite pleased with the before and after of Cape Town's list since I arrived at the Cobras.

On the left is the before and the right is the after. We had a lot of dead wood to cull in Bock, O'Keefe, Brennan, Hunt, Heath, Schroder, Hall, Evans, Pierce.

Probably my mistake was trying to get someone with potential in every spot on the list. Because now they've all started to deliver a little bit and bust our cap :P

Should have kept some spuds and tried harder to get a better XV together.

If Enright and McPharlin retire you'll lose 2500 points anyway so you'd only lose one player at most under my proposed cap. Don't worry, nobody is going to steal all your players. Being forced to give up one player for a draft pick isn't going to send you to the bottom of the ladder. A fit Billings will go a long way to make up for the loss of Enright to retirement.

Yep, always the plan as I figure McPharlin is set to leave, but if he doesn't, disposal for our cap. If Enright goes on, we'd make the room for him somehow, we rarely have a problem getting under the cap, doubt this season will be any different.

And I don't mind picks, we traded out Jaensch last year for a high pick, could possibly do something like that again, although not looking too likely at this stage.

Roight.

Sub Rule
A) Players injured in first half are subbed out (12)
B) Players that play less than or equal to 50% game time (using FF stats) are subbed out (6)

So A wins! We have a new sub rule :)

Reserve Finalists Eligibility
8 Yes
10 No

So we won't be having this rule next year




Now, the tricky one.

Ruck OOP

A) If you name a player OOP in the ruck you still lose 50% of the score (as has always been the case). BUT, if that player is less than 190cm, not only do you lose 50% of your score, the opposition ruck gains 25%. (2)
B) Receive 75% of a Ruck OOP instead of 50% (2)
C) 50% OOP ruck rule stays, but if you have a player who was formerly listed as a ruck (e.g. Vickery) but has lost ruck status, they score 75% as an OOP ruck, not 50%. E.g. someone like Caleb Daniel would still score 50%. (3)
D)Players get a certain % of their score which is higher the taller the OOP listed player is. (4)
E) Keep as is. (7)

No Ruck OOP rule next year.

Let's move on.

This leadership rule is a pain.

No clear captain option.

Goldy Selwood Sloane Martin xxxx

I guess

pfft you think you have problems.

Try picking between Jesse White or Jarrad Grant each week

Love the leadership group :)

Simple to implement, and makes real world sense. None of this Max Gawn suddenly being Captaincy material

[Toga]

Another thing I didn't think about with the leadership group is that it will really restrict loopholing! Which is not a bad thing :)

I too am a fan of the leadership group even though I won't be able to captain Shaun McKernan any more.

But "real world sense" doesn't belong in this thread. Does Tom Liberatore's $500,000 2016 salary fall outside the salary cap because he didn't play in 2015? Only 49 more weeks of this to go :)

true
also does trading half your list for draft picks =- make real world sense?

hell does trading so much really make real world sense?...- no - but it is bloody fun :D
