2015: Fixture
- Thread starter Erich1036
- Start date
Sloane, ward close to lock with there early draws.
Risk will pay off with the late byes.
Stacked midfield and fwd line with premiums and a couple underpriced guns thrown in.
Try bolt out of blocks with points while others are going conservative and building there war chest's.
Obviously still having the must have rookies to generate cash.
Only problem is neglecting the defence with only 2 premiums.
Def rookies dont make/score as much as mids and ill be fielding 4. Lol very early there might not be 4 rookie defenders named round 1

I obviously have too much time on my hands! Here is a breakdown of the ruckmen grouped per bye. Obviously it would be nice if your R1, R2 and R3 are from the three different groups, assuming you make no trades here up to the byes! (PS Thanks to Erich, names swiped from his spreadsheet!)

Looking at draw a bit closer.
Must say as a footy fan in general, happy to see the majority of rounds are simply Friday night start and Sunday Twilight match to finish off the round.
So many rounds starting early or finishing late during 2014 was really driving me bonkers. A regular schedule is good for fantasy footy too.
Makes picking a team in keeper league and FDL easier in 2015 too.
Seems like 7-50 pm Friday night start is the norm. 2 Saturday day games, 1 Twilight Saturday game and 2 Saturday night games.
Then on Sunday looks like 3 games spread out the day and early evening with the round being completed usually by 7-15 pm each Sunday.

Wallace suggesting in the event of Victory winning the right to host the a-league final, the Bulldogs vs Freo game should be switched to Whitten Oval as a once off. I would love that personally. 14,000 there >>> 14,000 at etihad. Vicy park another option IMO. Such a waste of a stadium no being used.
Which brings me to my question. Should there be a 3rd stadium in Melbourne for these low drawing games? Either redevelop WO or probably Visy park would be better suited.

FYI
This info assumes you have a donut you can use each week. The casual data is for those that aren't surgically attached to their computer and discounts any teams playing on the same day. Rockliff's round 11 bye obviously means 1 less loopholing opportunity. The earlier Saturday night times meant some of the twilight games might be finished but will depend on the length of the game so I didn't include them.

I have a point of view that i wanted to share and get others opinion's on.
I think that some players play and score better when they are playing better sides. Inside mids, some rucks etc. So should a tough draw be such a deterrent?
I have started the last two SC seasons with Jobe and was thinking of doing the same again this season. Essendon do have a tough start to the season but if Jobe stands up (like he normally does) this could have minimal impact on his scoring or even push him to new heights.
What do others think about my thinking?
