's message, "Issue with Roos selection" on 24/06/06 3:55:51pm
So theres no way a coach would not pick Lucas and Carr if they were fit. Makes the game a bit farcical if we have half the teams tanking. The tops I'm sure would find it boring. I'm slowly building a team up and hoping they "gel" before the end of the year, I think with this comp the best player (ie early draft pick) won't necessarily be the best scorer. My best pick up from last year has been Rischitelli, who I selected quite late.
A way you could regulate this is that any player who averages above a certain score (say 70), must be selected in the 22. That way you have to play what would be an automatic selection in the AFL. One for next year.

I think we have enough negatives from coaches to say the outcome here is.... -- SL, 27/06/06 10:28:08am [1]
A warning to the Roos is now handed out, to say that this type of selection tactics is not on, and that if it happens again this year, then the first round selection will be stripped from your side.
It is not a punishment and you shouldn't see it as one, as you didn't know but if ANY side decides to tank obviously, then they will lose their first round pick also.
Last rounds scores will be the top 18 players score on the list.

So if i drop Rocca this week -- RB, 27/06/06 2:07:14pm [1]
Are the Fockers tanking,or am i reacting to his poor performances that have contribuited to the last 2 losses ?

Your reacting to his poor form -- SL, 27/06/06 3:05:23pm [1]
You have the right to drop a star player if he is down on form, but if he had of been scoring highly, and you drop him out of the blue, you would just be asked to explain the decision. It is a grey area, but I'm sure moderators can tell whats what.

With the Fockers @ 8-4 expected that answer,however -- RB, 29/06/06 12:42:21pm [1]
If the Fockers were at 4-8 & Rocca was dropped Q's would probably be asked.The circumstances however are the same (dropping a name player down on form) although the selection of the replacement player would differ.
Fockers 8-4 (going for top 4)..In L.Brown Out A.Rocca
Fockers 4-8 (struggle to make 8).. In M.Pask Out A.Rocca
Understand the concensus opinion here on tanking & have no problem with it but the above is an example of a legitimate tatical change if i beleived the Fockers season was shot & the 8 was not a probable target.
