Also seems to occur in DT. Maybe a geek at CD has insomnia. Not sure exactly how long after the game I recorded Hill's score, but I believed the scores to be final when I did it.. the HUN has 60 points today for Hill Len... they do sometimes do some late corrections... generally for ORFFA it is irrelevant as the scores are rarely within a couple of points, but always pays to double check the close ones

Very lucky the Richmond boys did the job in the last game. Especially Ty Vickery - needed a big OOP game from him and got one. Might need another as Maric looks unlikely this week too. But Ollie Wines - wow, what a player that kid is. Just so perfect for Port right now - a great fit for player and club. Good victory Chris. Only wish I was playing Cradle Mountain. Do not in any way begrudge you Ty's score. He has been a 'filler' in my SC team from the start, always swearing I will trade him 'next week'. His payment was somewhat overdue. Ivan struggling a bit this year - just hope he comes good and hits his straps for SC finals and, we can now say it, AFL finals. Ty cops some pretty unfair criticism at times from some Tigers fans, but for mine - a 23 year old coming off major shoulder issues last year - he really looks like he is turning into a good player. And he's got a fair degree of mongrel in him too, which I like. And you're right - big Ivan is struggling a bit - had a problem all year and they're just managing him right now. Personally I'd be really surprised to see him play this coming week. Though that might help build a case for Champion Data/Virtual Sports adding a Ruck designation to Vickery, and having him as a ruck/forward. There are guys that spend a lot less time in the ruck than Ty who are R/F. If it happens, might solve my 'no ruck backup' problems going into 2014 in ORFFA!

Ive got a similar situation with Casboult playing OOP in the ruck for me on the weekend, even though he plays primarily as a ruck for Carlton. He should be R/F next year.

With numerous references being made to my drafting technique, I feel it necessary to explain the dilemma I was in and what I could do about it. Being the only Super Power left in the world, double guessing me is fraught with danger. Hiding out in the cellar of the Orffa League Ladder, we here in Gundagai had the choice of sitting on our tucker box & drafting 'bodies' or keeping an astute eye on the future and draft accordingly. Thus the majority of picks were really for 2014.......I don't think even Obama could dig me out of the hole I'm in this year. Dropping good players due to injury, players who would be certain starters in '14.....for schlep bodies this year 'just getting a run' seemed small minded and would see me wallow further in coming years. This reminds me, Chris......I have a trade in mind for the Pre Season. And lastly......Len, TiB, Chels.......this Masters Series currently going on ~ will the winner take over the reign as the only COC on TS ?
In a former life I would have described your 'explanation' as an 'ex post rationalisation.' In my current life I describe it as'<em style='font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-variant: normal; line-height: 18px;]ex postrationalisation.' At the Masters, I bowed out early sNoZ, and can only offer my moral support to those of you still in fray - good luck to those still involved. Notwithstanding, we all know that ORFFA is the one, true, long term test of SC skill. The side shows like the Masters are mere trinkets that amuse short term while lasting satisfaction is to be found in the long term. Drafting and trading for young prospects (e.g, in the Waikiks:Fyfe, Hannebery,T. Mitchell, Crouch and Elliott) and watching them develop and take over from the fading lights of yesteryear is the drug that drives us all. You know the names of the fading lights, let us hope you got some of the emerging stars in the draft amigo so you are at the sharp end of the game in 2014 and onwards.

Please check the logo Chris against the one in the thread. Sent you a PM some time back. Got the PM TiB, checked it and to be honest I'm in need of more guidance. Is there something wrong with the logo? There's two on the system, slightly different, have I used the wrong one? Need some clarification before next week's write-up, lest we return to the former logo.
Spot the donkey. The one you posted (Chris) says 'Football Football' whereas the correct one says 'Fantasy Football'.
