Still need to provide you a line-up to take on Jabba, but I think you've got everything you need from both KATA and I for my other friendly.
Vs Skip Code: FB: Dunn Lake Hibberd HB: Lumumba McDonald Harbrow C: Stanton Cross Sidebottom HF: Blair Franklin Goodes FF: Matera Roughead Breust R: Lobbe Selwood McVeigh I: S Martin Thomas McLean S: Yeo Back Third: McVeigh / Yeo (when subbed on) Middle: McLean & Thomas Forward Third: McVeigh & Sidebottom Ruck: S Martin
not sure i understand the interchange instructions. McVeigh's meant to cover back and forward despite being named on the ball?
Yeah, he's liking that loose role. Only issue is really whether you're happy to allow blokes like Suckling and Hibberd to go loose as well as they carved up as well due to Hombsch being loose.
If you need to sub a forward or back move McVeigh and insert one of my middle third replacements into his original position.
ugh. i know it's not realistic but it makes simming take half the time if it's just a simple back/mid/fwd sub instead of convoluted if this player is off then move this player there kind of subs. Might make sense to you but when I'm simming it rarely makes sense to me unfortunately.
I'll see if I can work with what you've got when I do our game though and let you know whether I can work with those kind of instructions long term though
Cheers mate, don't think my squad is particularly suited to standard replacements considering McVeigh (C/B/F) ,Sidebottom (C/F) ,Harbrow (B/C) and Lumumba (B/C) are all versatile but very much needed in my starting lineup and I have stronger replacements for their primary positions then I do their secondary positions hence why I'd rather move them and insert a replacement into their original spot. Might switch a Yeo and Thomas around in the future because both my HBF can play on the wing if you end up allowing us to make interchanges like that
Yeah I see what you're saying but at the end of the day most people have versatile players - I know in my team at least half of my players regularly cover two or three positions. I'm not even sure your fellas aforementioned are really versatile - like they can cover positions but they're not utilities as such - Sidebottom barely ever plays forward if ever, Lumumba's a half back 90% of the time and McVeigh was a midfielder his whole career until he spent half a season back last year - something that stopped this year. He rests forward like every sydney midfielder does but that's not out of real aptitude IMO. Harbrow's genuinely a utility though. I know it's frustrating but my aim is to keep motivated with this for as long as possible and the rotations rule is one of those shitty rules for everyone but makes life far more easier for me to sim than trouble it is for everyone, as shitty as that sounds.

Ack. I hadn't noticed, but my team's shooting accuracy was atrocious. 10 goals and 20 behinds. Is that something to be worried about?
