    SC Scoring System

    As an example, not all effective kicks score 4 points. From memory, a long effective kick marked by teammate is worth 5 and a short effective kick is only worth 3. I think there's all sorts of similar variations that get applied when it comes to adding up to a SC score.

    An effective kick doesn't have to find the target. A kick over 40m to a contest counts also. https://www.afl.com.au/news/144837/stats-glossary-every-stat-explained#:~:text=A%20deliberate%20kick%20without%20taking,HARDBALL%20GET

    Not specifically, but if you have some spreadsheet skills you can easily make you own. The starting price = average * magic number (~5,370 to start this year) This gives a total value for the entire competition (from memory $250million or something like that) Magic number changes each week to...

    Agree with this. Given his draw... I'm a believer if you're not starting him you shouldn't be trading him in either. With his draw, there could potentially be a 20-point swing between the pre-bye and post-bye period. So if he's going at 130, you don't want to buy him for the time when he does...

    L.McDonald has been sacked - replaced with Short which seemed an obvious knee-jerk reaction!!! I also had Sidebottom - so have had to drop him also

    Haven't done the stats myself (can do though). But, someone did (Freako maybe?). Turned out midfield went up around 7-9 points on average. Forwards went down a similar amount which is where those points came from. Defenders and rucks were largely unchanged. The distribution changed...

    That's my cue! Number of players averaging 120+ : 115-120 : 110-115 2017 - 2 : 1 : 7 2018 - 4 : 2 : 4 2019 - 4 : 2 : 6 2020 - 5 : 4 : 11 Effectively double what we've seen in recent seasons - the only season that rivals it is 2012.

    My initial thoughts were the same, but I'm starting to change my thinking a little bit. No doubt there's plenty of guys overpriced - but I think it's primarily midfielders. I'm looking to those who aren't as overpriced as others, guys who should probably get within 5 points of their 2020...

    I differ to @Rupert a little and would go option 1. Jelly v TT, Jelly wins. Gawn overpriced, but easy first half of the year and likely to be C the first 9 rounds. Grundy may be underpriced, but he averaged just over 100 playing with Cameron. So a few unknowns this year and I'll be willing to...

    I'll consider Flynn for R3, but R2 is a bit too risky. Be a different story if he was locked in to the ruck, but with Briggs and Mummy there it's hard to be confident. Then if there's non-selection or injury you're left without anywhere to go.

    Agree with Laird and think it's a good option starting him in midfield given the mid options all look over-priced and lots of uncertainty over who the top 10 will be. Preuss is an interesting one. Mid-price rucks need to outperform mid-pricers elsewhere as it's a big step to reach one of the...

    I've got a big watch on both Houston and Doch for Marsh 2. Doch needs a bit more form that he showed. Houston needs to show me he can play 80% TOG to go with a midfield role.

    Similar structure here, just rolling with Ryan over Sic currently.

    2020 Rucks

    I did similar a few years ago with Witts. It really depends on the rookies. I'll pick them and fill the rest from there. Rookies, then R1/2 with rookie R3, then fill the remaining mid slots, then the must-have FWD and DEF. If there's enough rookies and discounted picks, sometimes there's...

    2020 Rucks

    No decisions yet. Maybe Xerri at this stage. If there's a rookie named round 1 I'll probably take them. I am open to having Naismith at R3 if cash allows...
