The draft is happening tomorrow night now, because when I went in to fix it wouldn't let me keep it on today, so don't hurry. But, if you are late again tomorrow, your team will robodraft based on your pre-draft list until you get there and take over, there's no lock out.

We need a 6th team to stop the thing breaking again same time tomorrow.

It's basically the same as regular fantasy, except each player can only be on one team, so you have to think a bit more about your bottom half of the team than just selecting the same 10 rookies everyone picks in Supercoach

Ah it looks like it won't let you hold the draft if you have an odd number of teams. Deadline is two hours prior to the draft. So we need someone else to join.

I've signed up to Good Golden Spoon 5 from last year's continuation but it says there are only 2 people in there. Have I joined the wrong one?
edit: nvm, apparently I have.

But I can't join the right one from the link above, there's no "join" option. Can someone send me an invite link please?

I think they prefer not to have to deal with adding a bye to the mix, it's easier if everyone faces someone every week

Draft begins in

0 days, 23 hours and 3 minutes
Monday 20 March 2017 at 8:00 PM (AEDT)


If you can't be there, set your robodraft list up when you have the free time! Otherwise it'll go by the default

Carlton undefeated at home for the 2017 AFLW season!

And from the afl.com match report:

quote:

Five minutes of madness
The match seemed over. The Lions were up by four goals, had full control and the Blues couldn't even get the ball inside 50 until Sarah Hosking kicked a goal against the flow of play halfway through the final term. Katie Loynes put her body on the line and kicked one moments later, before a free kick to Rebecca Privitelli gave the Blues another and suddenly they were within a kick. In a matter of minutes, the Lions were completely up against the wall after they looked like waltzing home in a warm-up for the Grand Final. Darcy Vescio gave it off to Bianca Jakobsson for the goal that levelled the scores with 23 seconds on the clock.
Five minutes of madness is fitting. What a great end to the game, glad we came away with a draw, not even mad at all. After a hard fought first half from both sides resulting in only 1 goal each, it stepped up in intensity from half time onwards.

Vescio had 1 possession in the first three quarters, that is how good the lions defenders were at double and triple teaming her. Ended the game with 8 disposals, 6 kicks, two handballs, two marks and two vital goal assists, mostly within those last 5 minutes. Post match interview with her: http://www.carltonfc.com.au/video/2017-03-19/postmatch-darcy-vescio

I'm obviously very biased, but the Saints vs. Dees looks like it could be the best game of the opening round?

Ess vs. Hawks also interests me for both teams, i'm curious to see where Collingwood are at (and how WB start), and if Adelaide knock off GWS it would surely start waaaaay too early media commentary about both teams.

Let's get a little crazy. Let's have some fun.
I'll have my dumb ratings on the site tomorrow or Tuesday, but as a preview
Richmond by 5
W Bulldogs by 5
St Kilda by 3 (I'm tipping Melbourne though)
Sydney by 45
Gold Coast by 26
Hawthorn by 55
West Coast by 10
Adelaide by 14
Geelong by 43

(yeah those numbers are a little different to what I just posted on the toots, I had to fix a rounding function)

Sure, assuming you have never seen a game between those two teams before and are instead going on things like ladder position.

St Kilda are going to loving carve us up on the outside yet again, Riewoldt will take 20 marks, and some previously unknown spud will kick 10 goals.

Probably curtains on his career realistically. He was only ever going to feature in the seniors this year as a result of injury.

It is going to test our depth a bit down back early, Hibberd and Frost injured, Garland out for the year, traded Dunn out. Really can't afford an injury to TMac/OMac, Joel Smith probably gets a rookie upgrade and thrown in the deep end for a spell.

Probably the most petty of reasons to be picking against Brisbane but seeing as the Dogs aren't there, I'm going for Adelaide because Tayla Harris thinks Dustin Martin is a wonderful human being. Plus y'know, Perkins, Marinoff and Phillips with premiership medals will be awesome

Yeah, Saints v Des looks the best to me as well (biased of course).

Crows V GWS should be good. Most of the others are a bit lackluster though. Some upsets would make for a very interesting start to the season though. Tigers losing to Carlton and Cats to Freo would throw some real spanners into the works for the losing teams prospects for the season.

I have a feeling round 1 is going to be pretty ugly for us. We might have a patch of play which we serve it up to the Hawks, but otherwise I feel like they're going to run rampant on us.

I ran into Tayla Harris on the boundary line while, said hi and good game before she went over to the lions fans and the rest of her team.

She's so short! But then again so is everyone in the aflw competition compared to me afaik.

But Tayla was pretty drat good at times and also attempted a near suicidal/superman-like mark across the boundary line.

Yeah it's funny working out the difference between the men's and women's height wise. Erin Phillips looks like a big, physically imposing player during games but she is only a centimeter taller than Boomer Harvey.

Meanwhile Harris is listed at 177cm, so she's just over 5'9, I would have had her at 6' or thereabouts from watching games

No Hodge, S. Mitchell or Lewis. The regular season return of Roughead.
And playing against a team that could come out in almost any fashion.
