Should have just left it and rolled with the punches I reckon. Only had three and had cover (crap mind you) but I don't like this changing things on the fly scenario. Opens up a huge can of worms. In my line of work I'm around death a bit so probably a bit hardened by it but sometimes **** happens. Terribly tragic and all but the show needs to go on.
Round 14: Teams, In Game & Cancelled Ade/Gee Scoring Discussions - Best 18 Scoring
- Thread starter Matt
- Start date
Was thinking this myself. I've got 19 playing this week. If i'm tracking ok, i'll probably hold off on trading but if i've got more than 1 really dodgy score, i'll probably trade to avoid while making a couple of corrective trades (ie. SJ).
I really think VS were on a hiding to nothing anyway so they've probably gone with the solution that impacts people the least, and was probably the easiest one for them to implement.

The best 18 certainly helps me in sc cup. Playing a bloke ranked 260 overall and projected scores haf him winning by about 280
I had sj motlop danger and smith as opposed to his danger only so probably would have lost bu 350 plus at least rop 18 gives me a fighting chance. I am desperate for a new vehicl.

I worked out there is no advantage for me. With Bennell out, Docherty and now the rest of changes today I have 13 outs. Most will have 18 on field or more so good luck to those that it has helped. The game is a lot about luck we all know this. But you work with others thing you can control. I might have to simply use no trades as I cannot see myself winning in cash league for example. Just checked and playing IDIG. He was dealing with Franklin out and I was dealing with Docherty, Bennell and Sloane all out plus a mid pricer too. He would have had thoughts to trade Stevie J in recent times which can counter me trading Sloane. With Dangerfield, Blicavs and Thurlow out against his Jacobs and rookie Lever I will be down to 17 at this stage.
Making trades that compromise my structure going forward is no advantage long term when I would need some serious help just to get close this round. With Brent Harvey and Watson also possible late outs it would seem the risk of doing trades to give some hope of an unlikely win is just not worth it. I think this round I have to consider I write off in cash league and re-load for next weekend. In a way I am lucky playing IDIG because if lost to a team around me on ladder it would be more like an 8 point match. If I was playing you Phil it would have more impact on my chances going forward to get a finals spot in top 8.
I think I need to look ahead and consider Rockliff and Ablett are on horizon for weeks ahead and with uncertainty on Harley Bennell too I need to hold onto my few trades for weeks they can help me more. Trading this week for me looks like trying to fill in holes that simply cannot all be filled in.
This!!!
There are a lot worse things than damage to our SC teams. A way has been chosen by virtual sports for what to do so everyone should decide what is best for their own teams and goals for season going forward.
Just be happy we can breath and communicate to loved ones.

Would love some help. In light of the shocking death of Phillip Walsh (R.I.P.) & the now best 18 onfield scoring system, if i VC Goldstein and he scores well, can i then just have either Selwood or Dangerfield ONFIELD with the C on one of them instead of putting Nic Nat on bench with the E and having Read on the ground with the C? Do i have either option? Thank you.

How lucky are you Oz that instead of the Ade/Gee players scoring 0 like many on here wanted they decided to go down the best 18 path!!!!
You have essentially saved 4 donuts compared to others who could field a full 22! 4 donuts, that's like 400 points.
You really have advanted quite well from the Best 18 decision. I and many others could have made a massive leap over you if it remained the 22.
So chin up, luck has taken a huge turn in your favour!!!!!
