WXV 2014 Preseason Competition

Well, they do have Big Boy and Ceglar... plus Hale and Roughy if you want to count them.

Surprised Ben Ross didn't get a gig.  :o

[JBs-Hawks]

Really dont see how Ceglar gets a game over Grimley. Grimley actually has talent  ???

I reckon they will give McEvoy and Ceglar the next game off and play Grimley and Lowden

Happy with the Cairenes from tonight.  :D

Jordon Bourke a pleasant surprise.

Luke Breust top scorer too!

So here are the SC scores from tonights game - http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/supercoach-scores-hawthorn-hawks-v-brisbane-lions/story-fni5f3gz-1226826602724

One thing I noticed was those scores add up to 3302, so looks like they have gone back to the scaling to 3300. Just thinking out loud, but if all the other games get scaled to the 3300 mark should the scores from last nights match get extrapolated out to 3300 to even it up? Basically it just gives everyone an extra 8 points (except for Stringer since he scored 0). Could make a difference if a team ends up missing out on the next round by say 12 points when they had 6 players in last nights game compared to the team above who had just 2...

Apparently you can get live-ish SC scores on the fox footy website like during the season last year? Someone said you could for Thursday's game anyway, so not sure why Ossie needs second rate links? :o

Unless that other fella was lying :o

[CrowsFan]

The fox footy website doesn't show all the players, only shows 22 from each team. How are links from the HS website second rate?

[Toga]

The final 4 based on those scores would be:
Cape Town, Beijing, London, Seoul

Go 'Jing! :D

That's interesting and annoyingly inconsistent! Will see how the other matches are scaled before making that decision though, but agree if all are 3300 we should scale up the scores (not by adding 8 points though, I'd spread it across proportionally).

It was a mistake on my end. Since I generally just use the quick reply I type in the url stuff rather than click the button. As a force of habit I wrote url = then pasted the website. Then didn't realise I had written the = sign so kept typing the rest of what I was saying. Once it was posted I looked at it and realised that everything I had said was now the link. So went back and changed it by deleting the = sign, but apparantly that just decided to change it to what you saw when you quoted... Weird  ???

[Master Q]

Could be because most of our squad's are younger players who are given more of a go in the Challenge.

Carn Thunder!
