    K, got a quick question for an article I'm writing, but don't think it's worth a whole new thread for it.

    Thus, the general discussion thread is now a thing.

    The new AFL draw, with the bottom 4 playing the bottom 4 twice- that only came in last year yeah?

    That's correct mate, at least as far it was a formally acknowledged approach

    Cheers Len. Just interest to run the numbers for these teams- as I have a feeling that having double games against bottom 4 teams benefits both teams SC scoring.

    Wondering if it would help with any of the 50/50 premium decisions (particularly with premiums moving into and out of said bracket)

    I'm not sure it's that linear mate, though there would have to be impact for sure.

    The consensus of opinion seemed to be that for 2016 Geelong get a free ride and the giants got shafted, below is a link to one of the more in depth ones I read.

    So I should be taking that, and sub in SC scores instead of actual scores. :)

    Or alternatively, sum up the ticket numbers as that is essential what's going on there!

    Yeah, not too many articles written this preseason. Been pouring all of my energies into the stats side of things.

    Lots of chatter about various keeper leagues though! :D

    i think once the pre season comp commences there will probably be more content posted.
    Is there something specific youd like to see? Or just general info and opinion pieces?

    I swear, my AFL Fantasy team keeps changing every time I log into it. But I don't log in enough to notice.

    The team has enough legitimacy to look like someones effort, but Malceski, Rosa, Seedsman? 3 premo rucks?

    Was I drunk?!

    Doesn't work for pre paid. But I tell you, I couldn't have seen this at a better time having just moved to Darwin for a year. I'm guessing there's not going to be quite as much AFL on free to air up here as back in Vic. Connect a HDMI from my laptop to TV and bingo.

    I used to do that with the Appleguts site, there's never enough footy on free to air TV up here in the NT
