After Saturday night:

Cairo is "keeping up" with Berlin! If you include HGA (atm 38), Cairo are just 74 points behind with one less player played  :o I still like the Brewers though, with most of its firepower still to come in Steven, Viney and Captain Gawn. But Cairo will probs win, idc anymore.

There have been better games... but please don't tell me Christchurch will find a way win against ANOTHER opponent playing below their best? Including HGA of 55 (atm), Christchurch are just 68 points behind with one less played  :-X tight contest! Amazingly, I think Christchurch have better remaining cattle, and amazingly, I think they'll win AGAIN through low-scoring means.

The Islanders are putting up a good fight in what is a REALLY interesting match! If only Rhys Stanley didn't spud it up... should have played Luey! Could go either way, but I think the Suns have the advantage here.

The Spetsnaz start has every indication of stopping the Armadillo rampage  :o the Dillos have still only had 5 players play, so it's hard to tell who'll win... the Dillos have already used ALL of their emergencies though, so if another person goes down, they'll have to cop Swallows' injured score. Note please also, that Sam Butler (E2) didn't play, so purely for cosmetic purposes, I moved him to E4 and moved Gorringe up to E3 and Bewick to E2. It doesn't change anything, just included Gorringe in the scorecard. Any other week and the Dillos would have copped Swallow  :-X With the points on the board, I think I like the Spetsnaz here!

Early days still, but an intriguing start nonetheless. I'd say the Cobras have had the slightly better start, but really the captains will decide this match I think.

New York putting in a solid display, which will be enough to account for the Royals. The Jansen bubble has popped.

The Samurai have put in 4 sub 50 player performances, which is handing the game to the Reindeers, who are doing just OK.

CAPTAIN DANGER! BOOM! But is the game decided? Far from it I think! The Jaguars have done well so far, and a good 130+ from GAJ might even see them take this match home. I still have memories for Danger doing it alone for Seoul, and although he'd go close to beating anyone this round, he'll need some help if Seoul is to win.

Toronto are doing OK. They would have liked a bigger captain score sure, but hey, they're currently beating Dublin so kudos! The Destoyers should go on to win though, despite an average start.

@Dublin,

14d. You can't rest a player if you can't field a team in every position. If you don't have anymore emergencies to complete a team during the round, the rested player will be the next person in at QUARTER points and they will no longer be rested.

Lewis Jetta didn't play, and you didn't have a midfielder named on your bench or emergencies.

Which means, Sloane is no longer rested, and he comes in at quarter points  :-\

If you named someone like Ben Crocker in one of the FOUR emergency spots, you could have avoided this  :-\

[RaisyDaisy]

LOL, seems like every week Holz is stuffing something up :P

Dublin still win though  :-[

[My Chumps]

Stef Martin's still a Cobra at heart. Thanks for the score mate!

[Toga]

Beijing: C.Ward + B.Ellis + B.Grundy + K.Lambert + C.Petracca + B.Kennedy + 68

vs

Christchurch: J.McVeigh + B.Reid + R.Griffen + B.Gibbs + M.Cox + L.Montagna + J.Trengove


It's gonna be close if all players score their season average... :-X

[upthemaidens]

Purps you have Bartel named twice at Mexico.  Think one should be Broadbent.

The intepretation of the rule is wrong.

I feel the rules are designed to punish and are not user friendly at all, it seems like im in the court of law and its a technicality to cause pain.

However naming crocker would do nothing thats a no playing guy. It makes zero sense that it would by pass the rule how is that different to playing lewis.

So if thats the precedence then crocker wouldnt make any difference. If its not the case the rule clearly states if you cant name a full team, it never states that you must name a full team. If you must name a full team then the 1/4 is rubbish

Common sense says lose resting and full points or keep resting and oop.

If you want to go by whats written then its written in a way that is incorrect and the rule cant stand as it is wtitten.

[Ringo]

True Jansen bubble burst but had to field him due to the number of mids we have available.  Cunnington showed tremendous heart playing through with a severe corkie.

However naming crocker would do nothing thats a no playing guy. It makes zero sense that it would by pass the rule how is that different to playing lewis.

So if thats the precedence then crocker wouldnt make any difference. If its not the case the rule clearly states if you cant name a full team, it never states that you must name a full team. If you must name a full team then the 1/4 is rubbish

Common sense says lose resting and full points or keep resting and oop.

If you want to go by whats written then its written in a way that is incorrect and the rule cant stand as it is wtitten.

If you named Crocker, a mid, in one of your 4 emergency spots, then he'd come on for Jetta, and Sloane would stay rested. So yes he would make a difference. Perhaps if you paid a bit more attention in naming your team (either by realising you named Lewis Jetta twice or that you didn't name any mid emergencies) you would have thought this might have happened, so don't try and paint it like I'm punishing you, when it was your fault.

Rules have been applied this way since day dot.

@Dublin,

14d. You can't rest a player if you can't field a team in every position. If you don't have anymore emergencies to complete a team during the round, the rested player will be the next person in at QUARTER points and they will no longer be rested.

Lewis Jetta didn't play, and you didn't have a midfielder named on your bench or emergencies.

Which means, Sloane is no longer rested, and he comes in at quarter points  :-\

If you named someone like Ben Crocker in one of the FOUR emergency spots, you could have avoided this  :-\

The intepretation of the rule is wrong.

I feel the rules are designed to punish and are not user friendly at all, it seems like im in the court of law and its a technicality to cause pain.

Can we put this rule up to vote.

I disagree but cant be bothered.

I didnt know crocker was a f/m so that actually hrlps.

End of the dau my bad, just came back from birthday weekend so see north lost. Vc danger wirh no loophole, lee 30 score then sloane a mid getting 1/4 for a mid spot.

Also explains why i didnt put my team in properly. Cant do my usual friday night chamges.

Funnily enough, that worked out for Dublin.

The alternative interpretation I was considering was Sloane to lose his resting bonus, but not be eligible for selection, as if he were, it just encourages further potential loopholing in the sense of "I'll play an AFL emergency and rest a gun and hope for the best... the worst thing that can happen is that my gun comes on and loses his rest bonus".

So I considered stripping his rest bonus and have Holz play an OOP mid from his emergencies, which would have been Byrne. He score halved is less than Sloane's quartered...

But in the end, the ruling I did I felt was the most appropriate, because you shouldn't have a midfielder named in the team submission and not come on if you needed a midfielder, nor at full points either. But yes Holz, you can suggest it go up to vote, but during the time of rule voting and not now. I'm sorry you felt you copped the wrong end of the stick, but you'll just have to cop it on the chin.
