Hi All, first of all sorry for the lack of posts lately, but this is just something for you to consider for your team in ’11.
Last year players who played less than 8 games received discounts, generally, although there were some odd exceptions. For each amount of discount there were also some exceptions. This is how it worked; REFERENCE TO FANFOOTY’s MONTY.

Adam Cockie, WC CTR (rookie). DT $232,200, SC $295,200. 7 games at 58.7 DT, 55.6 SC.
Yes, you will notice a common theme running through the stats of all these players: seven, eight or nine games played last year, apart from Tiller. This is a change of the “rules” from last year whereby playing 6 games or more disqualified a player from any kind of discount.

Similarly, this group all played one to six games last year. Last year there was some position-based delineation over who got what percentage discount, but this seems to have been abandoned for the moment.

At this point, the VirtualSports boys are just making it up.
40% discounts
Jack Steven, SK CTR. DT $200,400, SC $210,300. 1 games at 76 DT, 66 SC.
Colin Garland, ME BAC. DT $195,100, SC $293,200. 1 games at 74 DT, 92 SC.
Brodie Martin, AD CTR. DT $188,500, SC $221,500. 2 games at 71.5 DT, 69.5 SC.
Xavier Clarke, BL CTR/BAC. DT $168,500, SC $227,900. 7 games at 63.3 DT, 70.6 SC (2008 figures, missed 2009).
Josh Hunt, GE BAC. DT $164,100, SC $252,300. 20 games at 61.7 DT, 78 SC (2008 figures, missed 2009).
Your guess is as good as anyone’s as to why Clarke and Hunt are in this category instead of the next one. As with most analysis of the reasoning for these discounts, it’s a waste of time as they’re only going to change it again next year anyway.
50% discounts
Beau Waters, WC BAC. DT $152,800, SC $151,100. 8 games at 68.9 DT, 56.3 SC (2008 figures, missed 2009).
Austin Wonaeamirri, ME FWD. DT $138,700, SC $177,900. 18 games at 62.5 DT, 66.1 SC (2008 figures, missed 2009).
Jesse W. Smith, SK BAC. DT $137,900, SC $220,100. 2 games at 55.5 DT, 73 SC (2008 figures, missed 2009).
Robert Warnock, CA RUC. DT $101,800, SC $132,200. 9 games at 45.9 DT, 49.1 SC (2008 figures, missed 2009).
Henry Playfair, SY FWD (rookie). DT $101,800, SC $107,400. 11 games at 51.3 DT, 62.5 SC (2008 figures, missed 2009).
Wayde Skipper, HW RUC (rookie). DT $95,800, SC $101,400. 1 games at 43 DT, 41 SC (2008 figures, missed 2009).
This replaces the old 42% rule, for the most part.
Finally, there are a handful of outliers. Matt Maguire, Rohan Bail, Trent West and Andrew L. Browne get dragged down to at or near prices of $101,500/$99,200. Sean Rusling should really have been priced at the $101,500/$99,200 given he played one match in 2008 for a score of 18 in both DT and SC, but he has been given the seemingly arbitrary prices of $128,900/$161,700. Don’t ask me, I have no idea why.
Note that in 2009 only players who played less than 5 or 6 games got discounts, this is why I have included players in the following post that have played 11 games in 2011. Remember they are POSSIBLE discount players. And if they do get a discount it would only be 10% or less. So these are my considered players;
Possible Discount Players (Which are Up For Selection)
Leroy Jetta (Played 11 Games)
Paul Bower (Played 11 Games)
Liam Anthony (Played 7 Games) Possibly a 20-30% discount.
Hamish Hartlett (Played 4 Games) Possibly a 40% discount I would assume.
Shaun Grigg (Played 8 Games)
Jed Adcock (Played 9 Games)
Andy Otten (Played 0 Games) High discount. Possibly 50%
Drew Petrie (Played 2 Games) High discount, 40-50% i reckon. Also only averaged 50 pts per game so before discount his price will be still incredibly low.
Nick Riewoldt (Played 11 Games)
Robbie Gray (Played 11 Games) even without a discount he still had a low average this year- for what he can do!
OK So there you have it. All you need to know so far about 2011 discount players, leave a comment or query 🙂 and remember to subscribe to this blog 😀
