If people want to to just register and then we'll worry about getting the team together after that, but will need to know soon.
Basically, just register, let me know what your nick is and I'll do the rest.
Hello Moi,
What's that on TV? Footy? In Dubai? WTF?
It's that wonderful time of year when losses don't mean anything because it's just the pre-season, wins show your team is going to make the 8, and every player is training the house down.
Of course in two months' time Tiger fans will be tearing up their membership cards, Pie fans will be wondering why their team isn't as good as it should be, and Eagles fans will involuntarily cringe every news break.
Still coming to terms with life after Sheedy and Hird, the Bombers are now reeling from the news that 8 time best & fairest winner and team of the century member Darren Goldspink has decided to hang up the boots. Goldspink says his body can't keep up with the demands of the game. By that we assume he means that his beloved Bombers will be so bad that to get them over the line each week he'll have to start finding dodgy free kicks early in the first quarter instead of half way through the last like usual. Don't let the door hit you in the backside on your way out Darren.
To launch the season, Paul Roos was accused of tanking in the NAB Cup. There were many questions to be answered - the main being "is Chris Judd is available in the draft again?". Roos was found not guilty after an AFL investigation found that footy was back in the news.
Yes, footy is back and so are we. A few of you told us we were a bit negative last year. We read our good, bad and uglies for the year and you were right - it did read a bit like Gumpy Old Men at the football. So we are declaring this year International Happy Fun Time Football Year and we will only say good things each week. Or nothing. It might be very quiet. Either way Goldspink has gone so things are looking up already!
We'll be all set up and ready to go for round 1. It starts on Thursday night and selections will be open all day Thursday (and again on Friday for draft-based leagues). If you want a league then let us know so we can set it up for you.

The 2007 Footy Rocks Grand Final

The Footy Rocks Brownlow Medal
We used to do this before the real one but it's proven to be completely useless as a betting aide. The rules for the Footy Rocks Brownlow Medal are simple. Suspended players are eligible because any award which disqualifies Chris Grant and Corey McKernan but can be still won by Tony Lockett, Greg Williams, Robert DiPierdomenico and Tony Liberatore is a joke. Chris Judd actually has to do something more than turn up and spell his name correctly to get votes. Fair dinkum he's like Lisa McCune at the logies. Back-chatting the umpires is allowed because they're idiots who don't know much about footy anyway.
We give 3,2,1 votes for each game based on the Footy Rocks scores. It's simple. If the umpires can use a stats sheet to help them decide then so can we. Except that we don't leave out key position players on purpose because they are big and scary.
So the winner of the Footy Rocks Brownlow Medal for 2007 was...
A TIE! Matthew Pavlich (fr) and Kane Cornes (pp)
Both got 27 votes to just edge out Chad Cornes (pp) on 25. The other players to poll 20 votes or more were Jimmy Bartel (ge) on 23 votes, Dean Cox (wc) with 21, Jonathan Brown (br) and Brent Harvey (ka) with 20. Click here for more details about the voting.
The Footy Rocks All Australian Team
We've got a Collingwood player in ours! Actually, we've got THREE. This team is worked out by the number of times each player was selected by you in each position. Note that we leave out any selections by people who submit 22 players from the same team. For some reason this year selecting the team was pretty easy. Almost every player who made it was streets ahead of their nearest opponent. The most popular player was Dean Cox (wc), closely followed by Dane Swan (co). That makes Cox our All Australian captain and Swan the vice captain. Click here if you want to see the raw numbers used to pick the team.
Here is the Footy Rocks All Australian Team for 2007...
BP: Darren Milburn (ge) FB: Brian Harris (wb) BP: Tarkyn Lockyer (co)
HBF: Heath Scotland (ca) CHB: Chad Cornes (pp) HBF: Heath Shaw (co)
W: Joel Corey (ge) C: James Bartel (ge) W: Kane Cornes (pp)
HFF: Paul Chapman (ge) CHF: Brad Johnson (wb) HFF: Cameron Bruce (me)
FP: Dane Swan (co) FF: Barry Hall (sy) FP: Gary Ablett (ge)
R: Dean Cox (wc) OB: Chris Judd (wc) OB: Scott West (mb)
I: Joel Bowden (ri) I: Daniel Cross (wb) I: Matthew Pavlich (fr)

Who are we?
Footy Rocks is an AFL-based dreamteam competition. Unlike other dreamteams we don't muck about with player values and salary caps. We keep it simple yet challenging. Each week you simply pick a team of players IN POSITION. Pick anybody you want but you can only have one full forward, two wings, one ruck, and so on just like a real AFL team. Each player gets points for kicks, marks, goals and other stats which we add up to tell you your team's score at the end of the round. It's easy and it's fun. Check out our FAQ for more!

Moi, count me in too as long as I can log in. I always have trouble with this site logging in for some unknown reason. Should we be able to login yet?
If so I tried using last seasons login without success.

I can't help you in how you log in, Tiga.
Maybe try and re-register under a different name because if you can't log in under your old account it's not going to work.
Let me know how you go, otherwise I'll tell them you're in the comp so they include you, but let them know you are having problems logging in and hopefully they can sort it out between now and Thursday.
I've got a funny feeling they'll mess up round one because of the early start on Thursday anyway. Didn't they have problems last year but all was resolved eventually. Doesn't give you much confidence does it lol
Good luck sorting that out :thumbsup

Thanks Moi! - Oh! bye the way where are all of those on the forum who air their football knowledge and delight in taking cheap shots at the coaches, leaders, and players. apparently they are not prepared to be exposed!! :wallywink
-
I like leaving myself open for exposure ;D But you are right Mopsy c'mon so called experts, expose urselfs, it's only fun and a bit of luck chucked in.
If footyrocks isn't up and running tonight, I am out round 1 as I no get on the website from work.
OER is about the only footy site not blocked (Yet) :thumbsup

All of my problems have been resolved - "Thank You" Moi! :thumbsup

I've managed to put my team in so it seems to be working.
Just make sure you put your teams in and if we're still having problems with the league, hopefully we can get that sorted out later.
-
Me too Moi submitted my team. :thumbsup
Hopefully the Gremlins in the system sort themselves out.

That's great, Hellenic.
The main thing is to put your selections in this week and we go from there.
All we need now is to sort Tiga out and I think everything will be okay.

I can't read that link at work - they've blocked it. How dare they lol
Tiga has re-registered under the nick of "portfoleyo" cos he was having problems logging in.
But we've got to contact them to let them know that he is our last person in the league.
I'll do this when I get home at 3.00pm.
Hopefully they'll receive it in time to set up our league by tongith.
If not, it will have to be next week. Our scores for the round will be okay for the overall competition though.

I think they gave you a base team from the team you support.
So full of Richmond players.
Or sometimes I've noticed they've given me teams from what I picked a year ago.
Don't know how it works, but even if you don't put in a team you still score something.
I guess that's MT's excuse because coming dead last lol :thumbsup
But Londontige's in trouble because I've picked for this round :lol
