WXV Round 9: Reserved

[RaisyDaisy]

I was first, so he has to go with mine :P

And Fiorini has the bye :P

Why can't he name Fiorini?

Bah, confused with this bye nonsense! Yeah he's in play, but not in my Church 15  8)

While you're all at it, why don't you have a look at Moscow's line up this week too.  :P

[meow meow]

Surprised you named Waite RD. One last time that he can spud for you.

[Purple 77]

How hard can it be meow? Here are your 15 highest averaging players, which will therefore clearly net your highest score:

Attack

D: Leigh Montagna, Alex Silvagni, Robert Murphy
M: Bryce Gibbs (C), Sam Mitchell, Chris Masten, Daniel Wells
R: Aaron Sandilands (VC),
F: Jarrad Waite, Shaun Higgins, James Stewart, Will Hoskin-Elliott, Ryan Lester
U: Jack Steele, ANB (I reckon he's a sneaky chance to play)
E: Connor Blakely, SPS, Toby McLean

[Adamant]

Scott Selwood was traded in on the 14th of November 2015. Tomorrow night will be his first game for Toronto.

[GoLions]

Kate Upton Cobras

DEF: Jasper Pittard, Callum Mills, Luke McDonald, Lachie Hansen
MID: Josh P Kennedy (C), Lachie Hunter (VC), Dion Prestia, Mark Blicavs
RUCK: Toby Nankervis
FWD: Blake Acres, Tom Papley, Taylor Garner, Ben Ainsworth
UTIL: Touk Miller, Cameron Sutcliffe

EMG: Dean Kent, Kayne Turner, Jake Carlisle

The Kent that is Dean gets dropped, Dion should be back. Ainsworth gets a run as he should be over his injury now and good to go. Garner hopefully back for Norf this week. Blicavs might be dropped tbh, and even if he isn't, could end up getting a rest this week, pending team announcements later today.



If I wanted to name Touk as VC, would he need to stay in my leadership group when we have the option to change them because his score from R11 will count or can I take him out and still have him VC this week? Also if I wanted to make Pittard VC for example, what's the dealio there? I'd assume you'd look at our leadership group for this week, but just wanted to confirm :P

Also, am I allowed to nominate someone like 2MP as my next in line emergency if guys like Touk or Ainsworth don't play? E.g. if Ainsworth didn't get named, Touk goes to forwards, Kent comes in as utility, Turner E1, Carlisle E2, 2MP E3? Or will it only go off of our preference lists? (although I think I still get 2MP in that case haha)

I knew you would ask this question :P

Your current Leadership group applies to WXV Round 9.

Your leadership group heading into Round 10 applies to WXV Round 10 onwards.

Given the Round 11 GCS/PORT players play in WXV Round 9, they won't apply to your revised Leadership group for the rest of the year (unless they are in both versions of your LG). So, even if you name Pittard in your revised Leadership group in Round 10, he can't be VC in this round. Whereas if you drop Miller in your revised LG for Round 10, he can still be a C or VC in WXV Round 9.

(although I think I still get 2MP in that case haha)

Ugh. My head hurts :P

First of all, who is 2MP?

Utilities always replace a guy in the starting 13, if they are eligible, in preference to your emergencies. The scenario you outlined first is correct. I only look at your list preferences to name a new E3, not a new starting player.

[Purple 77]

Unless however, say, your D4 is a GCS/PORT player that didn't play, and you didn't have another defender named in your 18. Then, I would look at your list preferences to find a defender, and name him instead.

If there isn't one, then OOP priorities apply

2MP is Peter Wright ya pistachio

I meant like, are we allowed to nominate a backup emergency so to speak, to be added to the end of our original emergencies if one of our Suns/Port players don't play, or is it just locked in with list preferences. So can I say that my "E4" is Peter Wright, or maybe like Jack Bowes (whoever, doesnt really matter), and then if say Ainsworth is out, that nominated emergency will go to E3 instead of whoever is first on my preference list. I assume we can't do this, but figured I'd ask :)
As I mentioned before, Wright is next on my pref. list anyway, so doesn't really matter to me, but maybe for others, iunno.

[Purple 77]

Oh I see.

Hmm. I can see why people might want that, given how much preferences change in 2-3 months. But, given that most players aren't that great outside of a teams most preferred 18, I'll stick with my first reaction of no, no back-up emergencies in this case.

Cheers Purps :)

I look forward to seeing what question(s) i come up with next week ;D

[Nige]

Don't think I saw an answer to this anywhere.

Can we rest Port/GC players for the next WXVs round despite them not being named this week?

[GoLions]

Hmmm Bird named on extended bench, wouldn't mind him getting a game
