Great read again Purps!

Best of luck to the all teams. I watch as a very interested casual observer.

Question - with the new leadership group rule, it will make it very hard for people to loophole captains in partial lockouts right?

Very hard, instantly regretting leaving Ben Griffiths out of our leadership group :P

I was going to name roughead but there I think this is the only loophole opportunity before we get to re pick captains.

Great to be back!

We're already in a little bit of strife, Lids, Bennell and Ivan all set to miss round one

Mexico are ripe for the picking round 1!

No Lids
No Bennell
Rocky coming off a hammy
No Stanton obviously
No Maric

Get around NDT for an early win!

Keep them coming

So which coaches kept the faith over the off-season?

Below is the number of players each team KEPT from their 2015 list, whose last senior game was with that team.

So take Michael Walters, who played for me in 2012 and I got him back this year, but he doesn't count as he played with other teams in between. Un-debuted players (either Worlds debutants or club debutants) also don't count.

These are the guys whose last senior game was representing YOUR team.

Team    Number of Players
Moscow Spetsnaz   26
Pacific Islanders   25
PNL Reindeers   22
Cairo Sands   21
Seoul Magpies   21
Beijing Thunder   19
Cape Town Cobras   19
Christchurch Saints   19
Tokyo Samurai   17
London Royals   16
Berlin Brewers   15
Dublin Destroyers   13
New Delhi Tigers   13
Rio de Janeiro Jaguars   13
Mexico City Suns   12
Buenos Aires Armadillos   9
New York Revolution   7
Toronto Wolves   2

I actually stayed pretty loyal with 13 given i dont give many debuts. May be a few this year.

Yep - except the next game is Saturday Afternoon  :) damn AFL not wanting Good Friday matches...

[Purple 77]

Also, as it was brought up to me recently, a reminder that if you want to;
- Flood or Attack
- Rest a player
- Opt out of the sub rule

You have to do that BEFORE the partial lockout.
