I think that both myself and @M-Town Ballers would be happy with any of the existing teams. If there is no automatic way to reduce the number of teams in the original league would it be possible to ask the SC guys to help? Otherwise it does look like a new league is the only way to go. Which is...

Here is a run-down on the new rules: https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-02-27/remember-those-rule-changes-heres-what-will-be-different-in-2019

@Haychh @doddy2731 If there is just myself and @M-Town Ballers to take over teams - why not settle for a 14-team league and put the extra players back in to the draft? That way you won't have to start again and you'll probably have a better chance of everyone returning in 2020.

Depends. I'm committed long-term to two: the re-draft SCC $100 and a UF one. If I join this one then that will make three. Which is probably enough. Then again, if the conditions are right. I'd really like a 12-team, 5-7-1-5-4, no "c", auto-emergency off, rolling lock-out, keep 12 players league.

Good, looking forward to it. And thanks. I've scrolled through this forum so I've some idea of the specifics: 16 teams with a 4-5-1-4-5 structure. But a couple of questions: how many players are kept and when? I saw 10 suggested. Ideally it would be at least a week before the draft to allow...

@doddy2731 @Haychh If some do drop out and you need someone to take over a team I'm interested. I'd be happy to take a poor team as in a KL you get time to develop it. And you should know I'll be in for the long haul.

I knew he had some hamstring issue but missing matches? Latest on the web-site: "Ruckman Billy Longer is recovering well after hamstring tightness" After further searching I found confirmation: on the Saints latest injury report video they say Longer is likely to miss rnd.1 and start rnd.2.

Brad Scott on the rule changes: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-02-19/new-rules-will-mean-more-hammerings-says-scott "Most coaches believe the requirement that defenders and forwards start inside their 50m arcs – and can no longer station themselves on the edge of the centre square – will give...

Cavalier Roundhead 2018: 8,419 (lots of LTIs) 2017: 1,300 2016: 49,719 ( lots of LTIs) 2015: 34,847 (lots of LTIs) 2014: 11,323 2018 League: SCC #3, I think I'm getting better at this SC caper. Same amount of LTIs in 2018 as in 2015-6 but much better result. Ranked #84 (of 88,067) in recently...

The Hands in the back and Ruck rules As far as I can tell the changes to these rules are simply a reversion to the more traditional rules from a few years ago. hands in the back: a player will still be penalized if he pushes an opponent in the back but not for touching him or holding him off...

I'm thinking the same. The new rules have the potential to boost some defenders SC scores beyond most mids. If they give the same value to long kicks from kick-ins as they do to those same kicks from general play - usually +3 or +5 - then all a defender has to do to increase their SC score by 15...

On the 6-6-6 structure: According to CD, teams lined up in this formation 42% of the time last year. The teams that used 6-6-6 the most: Brisbane - 68%; GCS, Coll and WBD - 65% The teams that used 6-6-6 the least: Richmond - 3%; Adelaide - 4% Ref: interview with CD rep. in traders250 podcast.

The New Kick-in Rules (NKR) I've done some sums and I reckon there is likely to be an extra 20-30 SC ppg allocated to the players taking kick-ins. On average, there was a minimum of 20+ behinds per game last year. In the Sainters games there were 521 behinds over 22 games which works out at...

@doddy2731 I may be misunderstanding you but no, the 6-6-6 isn't how teams have lined up in recent years. Previously, the centre square was reserved for 4 players from each team but the other 14 could line up wherever the coach wanted them to - he often had some at the edge of the square, poised...

@Lowrider I appreciate your thoughts and the fact that you have responded. While you may be right about the 6-6-6 having minimal impact, the fact that so many commentators and some coaches see the changes as significant impels me to consider that impact. I've tried to find the Bolton quote where...

I thought it might be useful to have a thread focused on trying to understand the impact that the rule changes might have on SC scoring. Centre Bounce: The new 6-6-6 structure is aimed at reducing congestion. Will it? If so, to what extent and who will benefit? Theoretically, with only 6...

Wingard is meant to be playing AFLX. You'd think that if his calf was serious he wouldn't play. Wouldn't you? Given how much running is involved.

@bandit Week 9 and you're going great guns: likely top score for the week with a massive 700+ and likely rise to #1 overall. Congrat.s
