Can I request that people make realistic selections for this trial round. One of the things I want to test this week is whether selections will be too similar and whether I need to implement a rule that makes them more varied.

Define realistic, not sure whether some of my choices are unrealistic or not?
I've tried to pick all playing players.

Realistic for me, or realistic as to only picking players I expect most people would pick? I generally do try to select a few unexpected players/margins in these sorts of comps in the hopes of a POD score, but I'm not going to go over board with it and avoid every gun player. Assuming this is still OK.

I mean pick players that you would genuinely pick if you were trying to win the comp and not random or speculative picks that you are only selecting because it is a trial.

Entered for the first six matches, will pick the Sunday ones after teams tomorrow night.

This comp really revealed how little footy I watch, as I had to confirm who was actually named in the team for most matches, selected a few players who aren't even playing, then had to change after checking the team. I'll clearly do well at this. :ROFLMAO:

There are 14 members who have indicated they will participate in the trial this weekend. I would want about 20 for the comp to go ahead during the finals and would like something similar this weekend.

The following tabls indicates who has expressed interest and/or submitted tips. Note that an orange shading indicates that you have selected a player who has not been selected to play. I have now modified the forms to only include players named for this round including all bench players for the Sunday games. I will update the forms again once the final teams for Sunday are known.

Seeing as 5 others picked players not playing, I might have some more competition than I expected... for one end of the standings that is.

For some strange reason I thought Flynn was back and why was Angus Brayshaw even on the list? :LOL: (yes I remember now, tragic retirement due to concussion).
