What is this emotion called "criminal negligence"?



This was funnier in my head I think.

Anyway, I don't know how you blokes do the Supercoach thing. I set up a team in my dad's competition and lose interest before round 5. Too much like hard work I reckon.

Chin up Tiger, There is always next season...
I don't like the idea of names because one of the more fun parts of footy for me is when you don't know who some newbie is and you get this little buzz around the crowd with everyone asking the person next to them when they do something cool. You hear like 15 little "Who's number 38?" things in a minute and it's cool. Then someone knows their name or has a record/phone and you get possibly even more people around you saying their name now and getting excited.

It's a little thing, but it really adds to the experience.

Also I think the guernseys look cleaner without them, and no club ever chooses a nice font. The text is always too small and cramped, if you're going to put names on the back they need to be way bigger (difficult with a non long sleeved guernsey), the numbers need to be smaller (A possibility) or you need to get rid of the sponsor logo over the arse (Not going to happen in my lifetime).

Yeah you can definitely get fatigued by it pretty easy, mainly due to the 'stock market' style of tracking people's value. Ultimate is much better if you're time poor. Who's good crossed with who's available pretty much.



I know Kouta wasn't 22 that was the only footyjumpers pic available.

I for one am really excited about names. 36 dudes running around, with possession constantly changing hands, is a bit to take in. Names are a lot more distinct. Instead of watching the stream and trying to sort out who "big boy" is, and saying "Wow, nice play by 19," I'll be able to say "Nice play by Lynch," and then the next time he does something, I'll be like "Oh hey, it's Lynch. I remember that dude. Lynch owns." This is a lot better than my old method of picking out players, which was basically "Holy poo poo, who the hell is that bald guy?"

Went to buy tickets to the WCE vs Freo game in the NAB cup but it's at 4pm on a loving Tuesday. Would I be correct in guessing it's because they want it to be on TV at a decent time over east?

Sounds like it, with the current three hour difference it'd be 7pm over here.
