TooSerious

With SC opening, I'm getting more emails along the lines of "I can't log in".

So, I'm gunna sticky this at the top of the blog for a while.

TS has been updated!! Newer, faster, better. Way better.

January comes and goes, and before the preseason really gets underway- post your team here for prosperity.

I always feel that my January team is better than my actual team, so this year, I want to save it to compare/contrast.

I'll kick it off with the 2016 Hype train.

Bam! 6 and a half more hours.

Then another kajillion hours of tweaking.

Then lots of cursing.

Then it's the off season again.

Ah, the circle of Supercoach, how I love thee.

Howdee ORFFL Coaches! Hornsy here, hoping you've enjoyed/are still enjoying the fruits of a marvellous off-season. Yes, that goes for both fantasy and reality, distinctions this persona has always had great difficulty keeping separated despite my adoption of the early work of The Offspring as something of a personal mantra (90's kids anyone?).

Enough of the fripperous (eh?) jibber-jabber and onto things I has to say and the sayings of them. This thread here is a general call-out to all ORFFL coaches about your participation in the 2016 ORFFL Season. We'll get to the matter of draft dates and all the detailed specificities and what-not as it proceeds, but for now; HONRSY JUST WANT TO KNOW WHETHER YOUR IN OR WHETHER YOU OUT?

So post-up and let us know! As always no-one terribly minds if you don't wish to play anymore; we all have lives and commitments apart from this very serious but also equally silly league and we're all very kind and empathetic souls or can at least muster up the civility to pretend to be when the need arises. We'd just rather know ahead of time if you can't make it to the big dance so we can plan and find replacements.

I'll be sending out a big call out over the Twitterverse and an email BLAST that renders all proceeding email BLASTS null and void on account of it's volume and severity. However, if someone (you know who) wants to call Tino; much appreciated and Ja Bless your cotton socks.

I'll also be adding (along with the dates that we'll be communally deciding on), spreadsheets, a trade section and even a specially designed spreadsheet pertaining to the PSD so that if you so choose to take your 2016 season to the level of too serious, you can compile your own phantom draft - predicting what other coaches will do before they even know what they'll be doing.

You can then laugh, cry and tear your remaining hair out when they deviate of your carefully created script in the actual. Share my...

So, a lot has changed, and new accounts were created for everyone. Sadly, that means- new passwords.

The easiest way to do things is to reset your account. (Provided the emails have been reactivated by now).

Alternatively, using your email address to log in, and your old username (as opposed to the Display Name which was shown to everyone else) will also get you in.

And if you have any problems, feel free to email/message me!

Hey guys, welcome!

Feel free to pop in and test whatever in this thread.

Yeah, it seems that when I transferred accounts to the new TS, I transferred a good 2000 of them before noticing that I left the 'send confirmation email' button checked.
So, first of all, sorry for the spam!
On the plus side, should be switching the site over this week some time.

Sorry for spamming you (To those who went through before I noticed it!)

And if you did follow the link here, welcome to the new TS. I'm currently converting data across, but feel free to chat or whatever. It's still a work in progress.

A surprise round 23 victory over St. Kildasaw the Brisbane Lions narrowly avoid the wooden spoon and ensure another dismal season ended on a high.
The question is now whether or not the club can build on that encouraging end to the year and surprise a few people in 2016.
While it's unlikely the Lions are going to be troubling the play-offs next season, there are still plenty of interesting options in this squad for AFL fantasy coaches who are looking to put together their squads ahead of the New Year. As ever, the 2015 season was a fascinating one for Fantasy fans, and excitement is already building.
The loss of a number of key members of the squadto injury played a role in the Lions finishing 15thin the Fantasy points ladder, although there were a string ofBrisbane playerswho racked up some impressivepoints.
Stefan Martin, for instance, has been slapped with a $631,000 price tag to make him the most expensive player with a lot of Fantasy leagues. While he might be extremely costly, it'd be a surprise to see him not rank as one of the most popular picks when it comes to the Elite drafts.
The recent AFL Trade Period saw four new players added to the Lions' fantasy list in the shape of forward duoJosh Walker and Tom Bell along withmidfield duoJarrad Jansen andRyan Bastinac. The latter are a couple of which will certainly add options to Fantasy coaches.
It's highly unlikely, though, that any of those new arrivals will prove to be as in-demand as midfielderDayne Beams, who will start the seasonwith odds of around 33/1 to earn the Brownlow Medal.
The 25-year-old is coming off the back of a sensational debut season which was brought to apremature end thanks to a shoulder injury, but not before the former Collingwood man has achieved a formidable average of 116.4 fantasy points...
