Awards vs Nth Wellington
Blogs 4th post of the day - the Stallions are excitable!
Awards from this weekend's game:
Stallion: Aaron (enough said, see Logan's drawing)
Pony - 3 candidates:
Rauru - Some classic misses, notably that 'chip' of the keeper - and especially after using that Beckham video to represent his successful pre-season chipped goal. Apparently the ground was too hard, the ball too small, Rauru was too busy organising the team to do any pre-game shots, Panda was looking at him funny etc etc.
Joe: 'That will be my last rash challenge of the season', umm at least this lasted into the second half of the first game! Bad tackle - but could be worth the assist since they were all complaining and Logan scored.
Dan: First game as a permanent stallion, brings the team into disrepute by falling on his arse during a throw in right in front of their supporters who pointed and laughed. Most impressively, Dan managed to hold onto the ball through all of this.
And the winner is ... Dan, for your second game you will be wearing pink and writing the match report. Nice start!
MVPs: The defense dominant, no doubt. There was a lot of discussion about this, with so many options from a great team effort. But it panned out this way:
3 - Tangihaere
2 - Aaron
1 - Jason
Long may this continue. Fantasy points to come later in the week.

Aaron's Goal
This is how I remember it... I'm sure there were a lot more Stallions around, and more passing prior to the goal.

Oggie or not oggie?
Hopefully this will clear up any confusion about who can claim ownership and assist rights to this goal.
What was it the ref said Aaron? A goal to the attacking team?

I thought we could all do the match report. post
something or things you remember happening in the game
Welcome to Fantasy Island
Think fantasy was fun last season, but we needed to tweak the points system to even out the different roles. The basic points allocation is here (about half way down the page).
But how to make sure defenders get the recollection they deserve? I reckon Spencer's idea of doubling the defender's output will go to far in the opposite direction, but think Rauru is onto something with the idea that we go:
Defenders get: 6 points for a clean sheet, 4 points if we concede 2 goals or less but still win, and 2 points if we concede 1 goal and draw. Damn, throw in a goal and the inevitable mvp points and defenders could score big - fair enough too.
That should balance it out nicely and stop the strikers from getting all the glory (midfielders would get half of these points - because last season with the exception of Paddy (on all free kicks, corners etc) midfielders also struggled to score points in relation to strikers - especially the workers who don't get into the box too much - Nick White for example was the one player who jumped out to me last season for fantasy points no where near matching on field performance).
I also wonder if forwards as a collective should lose points for the team not scoring? Seems a bit unfair that defenders lose points for conceding 2 goals or more, but there is no penalty for the team not scoring. (midfielders would lose half of these points for not assisting, just like they lose half points when the defenders lose their points for conceding 2 goals).
There are other things we can do as well - like make sure when bonus points are awarded we don't just look to those who have scored goals etc.
We could perhaps thrown in a couple of non specific points allocation not related to position - a point each for best tackle and pass in a game?
So if we are playing 4-3-3 the wide players will need to be classified as forwards.
A work in progress, throw any ideas this way.
