ORFFA Weekly Ladder

Jason, you are correct in part. As per my post above the deal is that an Emergency only scores if there is a late withdrawal. Emergencies are not a second bunch of interchange players.

If a player withdraws from the names team - e.g., injured in warm up - then the emergency player on that line comes in. DPP's have to be nominated for a specific line. For example, Mitch Robinson is M/F. As a emergency you have to nominate him as a M or a F, he cannot be both.

Again this is my reading and understanding of the rules. Happy to bow to anyone with complete knowledge.

Thanks Jas & Ant. Learning on the job here. I didn't write down my interchange players names. How can I check who they are?

Upon deeper reflection got a feeling they may be 2 of Black. Russell or M. Brown

 

Gundagai scored an unofficial 1245

 

As I understand the emergency rule (And we have not agreed to change the emergency rule so far)- the emergency has to be nominated for a specific line and only counts if an on field player for that line doesn't play. You don't get half points for an OOP emergency.

PR also was in this position last weekend, which we discussed in one of the other threads.

X could you clarify please what you mean by: "the emergency has to be nominated for a specific line and only counts if an on field player for that line doesn't play.." In particular, "and only counts if an on field player for that line doesn't play."

By "on field player" do you mean someone named in an AFL team (e.g., Heppell by Essendon) who is then a late withdrawal and replaced by an emergency in both the AFL fixture and an ORFFA team?

Or do you mean someone picked in my ORFFA team (e.g., Hibberd of Essendon) who was not selected by the club for an AFL fixture and hence does not play so my emergency comes in and scores points.

hope that is clear, thank you

 

Yep - the emergency can only come from a player nominated for that line and then substituting for a player in that line.

Let's say you have Sammy Mitchell nominated in your mids and then Sammy doesn't play. In order to act as an emergency and then have their score count, you would have to have an emergency named as a mid. An emergency named in the fwd's for example, could not act as a substitute for Sammy, and cannot act as an OOP emergency for half points.

PR, CR & BB from ORFFL were all affected by this rule this week.

I understand that ORFFL are voting at the end of the season on whether to change this rule so that OOP players can act as 1/2 score emergencies and if we wish we can have a vote too.

A jelly wrestle.

 

Rock paper scissors.

 

To be serious for one moment, I would prefer percentage, but don't mind being shouted down if others prefer points for.

ORFFL does it from points for.

Points for may be fairer.

 

I reckon percentage, more AFL like, even though the ORFFA is more superior... But I like Percentage alot more to be honest
