Looks likeSportal Dreamteamis going around again this year.

Sadly however, they look to be doing it without a prize

Still, provides a good place to try a cracked-pot scheme that you mightn't want to risk a prize-winning comp on.

It's the q-clash. Well, the pre-Q-clash. Actually, just between me and you, q-clash is a shocking name.

Anyways, teams up north, playing. Aish is there which is cool. So is Jack Martin, and Charlie Dixon I would love to see get some more game time in the ruck this week!

It's been pointed out to me that a lot of draft leagues run in Ultimate Footy, and that UF runs with different positions than the classic comps.
Which completely throws our Draft Plannerout!
So what's the best solution? Lets add Ultimate Footy to both the Draft Planner and also to the stats.
Now, I've currently only have it working for the default scoring system, but will be definitely looking to allow you to customise the Draft Planner screen with different scoring options. Probably won't have the time for it this year, but I reckon next year.
Quite a few changes across the comps though. Goddard being the largest, jumping into a top10 pick, while Deledio and Gibbs also find themselves benefiting from some DPP.
Anyways, if you Ultimate Footy- give the Draft Planner a look.

We're 9 games down and have seen everyone once already. Time for another look at the premiers, the Hawks and those up and comers, the Kangaoos.
Still no Gartlett is a little bit sad, but yanno, we always need downgrade targets, right? Suckling gets another run around which is nice, whilst we get to see what Gunston can do against a team battling for a top 8 birth this year (Sorry Lions fans )
Over on Norths side, Luke McDonald has a place in my side. e.i.e.i.o. And on that place, he has... nah, I'll stop that terrible joke that isn't working right now. McDonald. go son!
Ziebell is getting massive amounts of hype thus fan this pre-season. Heck, I put a tenner on him for the Brownlow two weeks back, $101-1. so I definitely see the potential.

<p style='background-color: #fcfcfc; margin-bottom: 10px; color: #444444;]As the pre-season plays out, I get more and more confidence in there being a reasonable offering of rookie-priced players for 2014.
<p style='background-color: #fcfcfc; margin-bottom: 10px; color: #444444;]More certainty around cheap rookies over the last week or so saw several changes to my previously listed team.
<p style='background-color: #fcfcfc; margin-bottom: 10px; color: #444444;]So with less Mid-Priced Madness and a more traditional Guns'n'Rookies approach, this is my current SuperCoach team:

<p style='background-color: #fcfcfc; margin-bottom: 10px; color: #444444;]Let's keep the RMT discussion going. But also let's quickly recap the ground rules for RMT:
<p style='background-color: #fcfcfc; margin-bottom: 10px; color: #444444;]1. In order to get feedback on your own team, you must first provide feedback on the teams that have been recently posted. This is the golden rule and is what makes this whole thing work.
<p style='background-color: #fcfcfc; margin-bottom: 10px; color: #444444;]2. If you just post your team without giving any feedback,your post will be deleted.
<p style='background-color: #fcfcfc; margin-bottom: 10px; color: #444444;]3. Please refrain from commenting on teams that have been posted by others that have not followed the golden rule.
<p style='background-color: #fcfcfc; margin-bottom: 10px; color: #444444;]4. Keep it civil. Constructive criticism is fine. But there is a line and please don't cross it.

Hey fellas.
&#160;
Anyone up for an ice cold beverage and a good ol' fashioned footy discussion this Friday night?
&#160;
Just a couple of weeks to go, reckon it's a good time for it.
&#160;
(Also, gotta raise a glass for the Bear fellow and his upcoming nuptials.)

Tell you what. I'm expecting big things from the Giants this year.
Seriously, I have half a mind to fill my squad with them- expecting a GCS styled increase this year. Actually, before I fill my team with them, I really should check the average increase in suns last year.
Regardless though, Coniglio, Shiel, Ward, Scully, Patton, Cameron, Tomlinson, Plowman all super interesting.
On the Swans, I'm looking forward to seeing Parkers role for this year. Expecting big things.
What are you thinking?

I just thought I would create a thread to get some chat happening about the last minor round of the NBA season as the thread from round 15 has been buried due to all the NAB cup games.

We like fantasy sports here, and certainly like applying said fantasy knowledge to win some of the monies, so I'd be remiss not to point this little ditty out to you guys.
Superboot
It's pretty much a fantasy goal kicking thingy- nifty rules set though

1st prize: $10k Cash

2nd prize: Ultimate grand final experience (Including hotel) (Valued at $4500)

Don't be seduced by line St Kilda are rebuilding and need get games into kids&amp;rdquo; and automatically think the Saints are relevant in 2014, because the cold hard truth is that they are not relevant at all. You might think that's little bit harsh, but in all seriousness apart from few players (who I'll touch on later), on the whole the Saints don't have a lot to look forward to in fantasy world in 2014.

The Saints will play the kids, but they will be heavily rotated like in 2013 meaning unless you want slow burning cash cows you should steer well clear. The kids will probably play 3-5 games, with couple those as a sub at a time. Then they'll go back to VFL for few weeks, hit the gym and work on other areas of their game and thus allowing more kids to play 3-5 games in AFL. The rebuild will be about getting as much time into as many players on the clubs list as possible.


If you look at new kids that played in 2013, you'll see they all played 7-11 games across the entire season.

Tom Curren - 7 games (7 games in row, 21 year old rookie)
Brodie Murdoch - 8 games (2, 4, 1, 1)
Nathan Wright - 8 games (5, 1, 2)
Tom Lee - 10 games (2, 7, 1)
Josh Saunders - 10 games (2, 1, 7)
Jimmy Webster - 11 games (7 and 4)



Whilst few those played 7 games in row, they were mainly in back half of season and they were used as sub on occasion during that time. These kids will also be high on list to be pushing for more game time this year, making it harder for new guys to break into the side. The recruitment of Josh Bruce, Luke Delaney, Shane Savage and Billy Longer also push younger, mature players into the frame before the raw 18 year olds.

One of the other major factors in looking at how Saints will approach the rebuild is that in only couple of seasons the entire list has completely changed. The Saints only have 16 players on their list that they drafted/traded into the club before the 2011 AFL Draft....
