World XVs - Round 1 (Rivalry)

[ossie85]

ROUND 1! A Reminder that matches start round 1, with the rivalry cup! C4's done a terrific job of the preseason, and hopefully the real thing is just as much fun.

Submitting a Team For Round 1

Teams must be submitted (in full) before the start of the Swans-Giants match.

You can change all non-Swans/Giants players before Thursday's Blues/Tigers match, but all Swans-Giants players (selections, captaincy, vice-captains, emergency) are locked in (same as DT and SC comps)

You can change all non-Swans/Giants/Blues/Tigers before Friday's Hawks/Pies match, but all Swans-Giants-Blues-Tigers players (selections, captaincy, vice-captains, emergency) are locked in (same as DT and SC comps)

If you do not submit a team by the Swans-Giants match, the team selected will be the highest value players (determined by SC prices). You will also be SACKED and a new coach will be selected, unless you have a serious excuse (I forgot or bad internet doesn't count).

The rules:

Format for Team Selection            
Def   Player A   Player B   Player C   Player D
Mids   Player E   Player F   Player G   Player H
Fwds   Player I   Player J   Player K   Player L
Ruck   Player M         
Inter   Player N   Player O      
Emer1   Player P         
Emer2   Player Q         
Emer3   Player R         
Capt   1 From Players A - O         
V-Capt   1 From Players A - O         
            
Selection            
Select 4 defenders, 4 midfielders, 4 forwards and 1 ruck            
If you do not enough available for any position, you can choose any other type of player to play in that position. However, only half there score (rounded up) will count. (i.e. if you play Lance Franklin as a defender and he scores 103, only 52 points will count towards your total score)            
Select 2 extra players from any position.            
Select a Captain - Double points            
Select a Vice-Captain - Double points if Captain doesn't play            
Select 3 emergencies (see below)            
            
Emergency Rules            
THERE ARE NO SUBS

Emergency will play if a starting 15 member does not, but with conditions.            

Emergencies can only replace players in the SAME position for full points.            

However, if a player on the interchange is the same position as the player that pulled out, he will be moved into that position. The extra interchange spot will be filled by your FIRST preference listed emergency.            

If neither the interchange or emergency can fill the position, the FIRST preference emergency will fill in but only HALF the score (rounded up) will count.            

If two or emergencies are the same position (i.e. all midfielders), than the highest ranked preference will play (i.e. if Emer2 and Emer3 are both midfielders, Emer2 will be selected)            

If an emergency is a Dual Position Player, he can be called into either position (i.e. if he is a Fwd/Mid, he can play as either a forward or mid)            

If you have more than 3 players in your starting 15 not playing, the highest value (determined by SC Price) squad member from the rest of your team will play, but only a QUARTER (rounded up) of the score will count. I.e if Alan Toovey is the highest remaining squad member, and he scores 53, only 14 points will count towards your final score.            
            
Submitting a Team (normally)
Teams must be submitted before SC lock-out, in the same format as above            
If Teams are not submitted, the team listed from the previous round is assumed to be your team.            

Tanking
If you TANK - and by tank make crazy selection decisions in order to gain better draft picks, you will forfeit your first selection in the draft.

[FisherSaints]

Sounds good os

[Purple 77]

Clear as mud os  :)

What a stupid saying......

[PowerBug]

Hmmm, i don't know about tanking, it's not that bad an issue. Just means easier games for those that don't tank. :P

[bomberboy0618]

How will you determine crazy selections?  I mean my fwd line is going to suck because 2 of my best fwds are out.

And that'll be fine :) But if you had Goddard in your back-line and decided to 'rest' him for Karmichael Hunt, well, thems-be-crazy

Unless Hunt is playing GWS... ;)

I also think that we should look at providing injury lists/statistics, that way it can give us a better insight into why certain people were chosen.

[TheMailman]

As has been stated, tanking would be pretty hard and may not even work without being obvious.

[meow meow]

Don't wanna be sacked, and we can change the majority of our team later so I may as well get the ball rolling. I'm giving my injured players every chance to prove their fitness.

B: Heath Shaw, Jordan Russell, Brodie Smith, James Frawley
C: Tom Liberatore, Ryan Bastinac, Harley Bennell, Allen Christensen
F: Jonathan Brown, Dustin Martin (vc), Dayne Beams, Shaun Higgins (c)
R: Nic Naitanui
Int: Tyrone Vickery, Jordan Roughead
Emg 1: Justin Sherman
Emg 2: Will Hoskin-Elliott
Emg 3: Brandon Matera

[PowerBug]

Got the Pumas first up. Brazil vs Argentina, Crows vs Port, Ablett vs Swan; A true rivalry will start here.

[CrowsFan]

Funny how you're on the losing side of all 3 rivalries there :P
Brazil better than Argentina, Crows better than Port, and Ablett better than Swan. Guess that just means Pumas are better than Armadillos :P

Port - 17, Crows - 14. I disagree with the second one. Not sure how you got Brazil better than Argentina but i agree Ablett is a better player than Swan (just)

[Boomz]

Def: M Suckling, P Davis, J Carlisle, A Smith

Not sure if I'll get on after teams are named so that will do for now :-X     

[ossie85]

Preliminary team. After naming a near full-strength side last week, but with disappointing results, the Seoul Magpies have put everybody on notice.

This is a historic occasion, with the Magpies announcing "caps", much like the test cricketers, to determine a players number. The captain of round 1 will be given the #1, while the rest of the round 1 team will be given numbers in alphabetical order. Players from then on will be given numbers based on when they debuted for the mighty Magpies.

$2m man Tom Scully will not be available for selection, and neither will the experienced Luke Power. Leaving only Jude Bolton and Stephen Coniglio as the only truly viable Round 1 selections from the Giants/Swans, with Rhys Cooyou and Alex Brown told they would unlikely be considered.


Preliminary team:

B: B Deledio, C Yarran, H O'Brien, X Ellis

M: B Gibbs (capt), R Griffen (v-capt), J Kelly, J Bolton

R: B McEvoy

F: P Dangerfield, C Dawes, H Ballantyne, Alwyn Davey

I: L Anthony, S Coniglio

Emer1: C Dixon
Emer2: M Scarlett
Emer3: B Renouf

With Power and Macaffer injured, my forward-line stocks are VERY thin.

[Maca24]

My first team for the Worlds competition.

B: S.Burgoyne, S.Gilbert, K.Hardingham, M.Mattner.
M: B.Goddard (VC), L.Hodge, J.Bartel, N.Foley.
F: P.Chapman, A.Goodes (C), J.Lewis, N.Riewoldt.
R: A.Sandilands
INT: J.Waite, B.Howlett.
Emer 1: G.Ibbotson
Emer 2: D.Pfeiffer
Emer 3: I.Maric
