Shall we do a selection competition ?
I posted about this a couple of weeks back, got a little interest.
Post seems to have disappeared completely??
Well, as the season starts in a couple of days it’s our last chance
Basically you pick 24 names before the season starts and get points every time time the team gets picked.
Three tiers
12 points for high
8 points for middle
4 points for low
And you can’t change list of tiers
It’s purely based on your hunches
Before the first ball is bounced
High. 12 points
Medium & points
Low 4 points
8 players per tier
NO changes
I’ll have a go at making my list later today.
Prize is a bottle is Shochu

Re: Shall we do a selection competition ?
Too complicated.
We used to have normal footy tipping but that faded due to lack of interest. Folks maybe decided it wasn't worth the effort.
It's silly to lock in 24 guys for the entire season.
Guys get injured, lose form, etc.
It should be, pick a squad of 24 on each Monday or Tuesday for that game.

Thanks for your input.
Screw tipping.
I'm talking about picking St Kinda players
But there is another thing, maybe, we lose a little bit of the magic by posting our predictions.
We can't start afresh each day.
I think the premise is simple as mate..
I'lll have a go right here and now.

Name your 12 pointers..
Your 8 pointers
Your 4 pointers!
Mr. Wellard, step forward.
name your players!
Can you out smart the brilliant Shane?
Of course not.
If I am being daft, what is the point..but I assure you, if you take this challenge on, I will show the responsibility that is commensurate with the task. If you beat be, I will send you a bottle of Shochu from Japan.
This will send that Me262 pilot into a spin.

OK
I’ll have a go at tallying it.
So if Cordy gets picked this week, you get 4 points , same for Byrnes. If Windy gets picked, you collect 8 and so on.
The points just add up week by week.
You can’t change. It’s locked.
If you get more points than me at the. End of home and away, (So far two of us! Lol) Bottle of Shochu is yours. If I win. I drink it.

Re: Shall we do a selection competition ?
OK
Terry
Thanks for having a crack
There is just three of us, but it should be fun
It’s closed now as the team has been picked
We will tally up the points when the final teams for Sunday are announced
At this point, I do t know when they have to settle on the final team, but as soon as they do, I’ll post the points.

Re: Shall we do a selection competition ?
Gee
I am gonna get my arse kicked!
I didn’t even pick Owens! Was thinking it wouldn’t fly..and didn’t put much thought - duh!
Nice going Terry
Very wise to have Sharman and Membrey as 4 pointers!
For now..
I think Owens needs a rest !! from next week.
Round One
Sanc : 168
Terry: 176
SG: 158
* my arithmetic is appalling but I’ll double check on the weekend
Anyway it’s all here plain for everyone to see..
I doing fasting today - all day- and I just did a 1500 swim ..brain is frying!!

Re: Shall we do a selection competition ?
Terry and Sanctorum,
After thinking about it, I think we should use the selected 22 players and also include the sub. which means 23 players can earn points.
Reasoning;
Sub, even if used, gets credited with a game.
Are you two OK with this?
And thanks again guys.
It should be fun.
I won't bother everyone posting in detail each week (unless people want to see - maybe they can bet on a three horse race?) - but just so we all know the system and how it works,
Scores post-Round One
Maximum possible total is currently 192 points ( 8 x 12 + 8 X 8 + 8 X 4 = 192)
Sanctoforum
164 (missed members 12, Windy 8, King 4, Ross 4, )
Shane Grambeua
160 (missed Members 12, Windy 8, King 4, Ross 4, Highmore 4)
Terry Smith Rules
172 (missed Windy 8,, Sharman 4, Membrey 4, Ross 4)
(But the magnificent Shane will strike back.)

Same additions to scores as for Round 4
Terry (692+160) = 852
Sanc (676+168) = 844
SG (670+162) =832
Webster being out is helping us close the gap.
If they'd only pick Highmore.

I have Gresham as an 8 pointer. You two avoided him altogether. It will hurt my come back chances if he goes.
Sancty and I have Membrey as premium 12 pointers, Terry has him at 4! Is that an omen!
Will be interesting.
Tight scoreboard ATM. Let's see what happens.
