The spam! But all good, pretty sure it'll be fun watching how the bidding goes tomorrow near deadlines!

If I may ask Oss, regarding the rest rule. Thinking of using it, but just say the rested player then gets injured that week. Are we still forced to play him the following week (and then have to plan an emergency to cover them, so using up an emergency spot to cover him). Or can we just not name him since injured and get all 3 emergency spots like normal?

If they aren't named in afl team you dint need to name them,  but you lose any rest bonus when they do return

Cheers Oss, figured that'd be the case!

First time Dane Swan has ever been optionally rested?

Go rest rule then Nails, then get 1.5X his score next week but must play him! Could actually be a good time if you're going to drop him anyway....

1.1, not 1.5 :)

My mistake! Been a while since the rules were introduced, all I know is that there was a bonus :P.

And I knew something was wrong when I said 1.5 as that seemed a tad high haha.

IDK HP as he's first emergency and therefore if he's called up to the team he'll be a great sub/emergency.

I'd like to rest him but I only really have Jordie McKenzie, Lin Jong or Brad Sewell (when he returns) as cover whilst Barlow is out. Therefore don't want to rest Swan then have to suffer a McKenzie/Jong sub affected 20.

Though my opposition I could probably beat with 14 players, after last week's shocker I'd prefer not risk it.

Fair enough, is certainly better than most teams' first emergencies :P.

Kb came up with a really interesting idea over in the British

I really like it, but have tweaked it a bit:

Tagging

You choose a player to tag an opposition player

Your player loses 20%, the opposition player loses 10%

This would be for 2015 at earliest.....

I'd be for it if the tagger loses a bigger percentage. I could play Nathan Brown on Gary Ablett... 20% just doesn't seem harsh enough IMO
