Round 1: Teams and In Game Discussion

[OzRulesFootball]

Just got home, but geez I'm a bit excited that footy is back

Cannot wait for it to start. Been a long time since a season did not start until in April.

Hey Coaches. Novice question. Wondering what time the teams are loaded into the Supercoach web site tomorrow, and will it include teams for the whole round? Bit unsure about this. Do I have to guesstimate who is in for Monday for instance?

Rolling Lockout. Each player is locked out the second their team starts to play, while the rest are able to be moved about.
Means you will have unlimited trades, substitutions, captain changes up until the final match but players will gradually be locked into your team as games are played.

Hope it makes sense. If something has changed please correct me.

Thanks for that info. Wasn't 100% sure if I had to fully commit before the first bounce.

I can't correct you because I'm a bit of a noob

Yeah wouldn't put too much stock in the positions on the team lineups, both teams are clearly playing funny buggers before the season starts. The only important thing is that they are a) playing and then b) if they are going to be sub. Which we wont know until 1hr before the game.

Looks good for Cripps though if he plays in the guts all game!

 

[Philzsay]

To add further, which may seem very obvious but I've had a friend who not realise, it locks out all players from the teams 45 odd list, just the 22 who play in the actual game.

 

[Beijing_Sting]

Lambert and Van der Whatsit out ... Hogan and Smith in. Pretty disappointing really.

 

[Philzsay]

I just went into the SC site to make sure my VC/C and emergencies are all up to date and went and updated my Perfect9 and HotStreak to the players I wanted.

I must say the Perfect9 and Hotstreak sections were noticeably slow.

Thanks Matt. Keep those twitters a-coming!

What time are teams released tonight 6.15? So will that give us an hour to fight with the SC site?

Usually by 6:25pm

Channel 7 have the rights to show the teams first, however they often don't show them all as they often just highlight the 'newsworthy' selections. Plus now there news in Melb goes for an hour making it all a bit weird.

Most teams media department have their articles ready and set to appear at 6:25 although often it is tweeted a few minutes earlier.

Due to the nature of the h2h league games not starting until later rounds, when rolling lockout happens this evening, will other coaches (in the same league) be able to see our teams? Or not? (Even though we are still able to adjust those in the later games)

Wondering if someone knew how this worked? Thanks

No, from memory we can't see others teams until after the SC site reopens after round 1.

no real surprises there.

you'd think either Garlett or Miller to start as sub

 

[jobeywatto]

Hmm, I reckon I'll keep Lambert. Will hopefully get games at some stage in the near future and can be my DPP link for MID/FWD

People did this with Mitch Honeychurch last year.

I don't recommend it.

 

[benderiffic]

A mate from work told me his brother (who is a runner at Carlton) mentioned that smith will be the sub tonight. I'm still hoping he isnt

Depends if the plan involves him as a floating donut in the meantime. Might have to check out how many late games Richmond have. I doubt it's that many unfortunately.
