No one 213cm can possibly be co-ordinated, real-life or simmed.

I'm only 200 cm tall and I struggle as it is for co-ordination.

A height limit is in order for mine. 205cm or something similar.

Ever watched basketball? But yeh, some amazing athletes here.

I know everyone's just joining for something to do, but it's making it very hard work for the organisers. I have no idea about soccer, so I didn't sign up for CW Soccer. Maybe if the people that don't know the sport just gave a basic idea of what type of player they wanted to be, it would be easier for us.

The main problem was the ratings right, had no idea what should go where myself. You can change mine to whatever suits a half back that likes to go forward.

I didn't put my real age, I'm actually 20 but put 24, didn't know whether we had to or not. Since people are actually putting 15, maybe we were supposed to?

Nah, we can't have a side full of <22. Need some guys with more stats than just the minimum.

HELP
Here's something to help AFL newbies out:

Ruckman are usually 196cm+
Key position players, such as full forward, centre half forward, centre half back and full back are usually around 188-199cm.
Midfield players - ruck rovers, centres etc. are usually around 170-185cm, the odd midfielder will be around 185-190cm.

If there are any other problems, let me know.


*LOOK*
Ok, we have already reached the quota of 5 people who have listed their first preference as forward fifty, forward, ruck or centre.

The first preference quotas are currently at:

Foward Fifty - 5 (full)
Forward - 5 (full)
Centre - 5 (full)
Back - 4
Back Fifty - 4
Ruck - 5 (full)


Due to an influx of unexpected sign-ups, I'm looking into extending the quota at some stage

All these people wanting to be forwards. Gotta realise that the best position is a soft half-back flanker who gets cheap possessions, runs with the ball and has an accurate kick. They're the coolest footballers around. :cool:

Eg. Bowdens, Heath Shaw, Gilbee, Goddard, Nathan D Brown, Andrew Welsh, Jordan McMahon, Sinclair, Complete Hawthorn backline etc.

*LOOK*

Now that we have enough backmen and the like, the quota for all positions has been extended to 7.

The first preference quotas are currently at:

Foward Fifty - 5
Forward - 6
Centre - 5
Back - 5
Back Fifty - 5
Ruck - 5

If there are a lot more sign-ups after this post, then we will look into creating another team.
