Hogg Shield 2010 Sign up thread

[Rik E Boy]

This thread is for anyone who wants to join the Hogg Shield in Season 2010. Yeah, I know it's only December but organising these leagues at the last minute is a nightmare. I'd like to be able to fill the leagues much faster than I did last year and hopefully this time around we won't have a league full of randoms in the lower divisions.

What is the Hogg Shield?

The Hogg Shield is a series of leagues in the Herald Sun SuperCoach online fantasy football competition. The Hogg Shield will be in its fourth season in 2010. Last year there were five divisions in the Hogg Shield: Hogg Premier League and Hogg Divisions I, II, III and IV.

Most Hogg Shield participants are from this site, AFL Online and from Ipswich City Council but they include people from all over Australia. The reigning premier, Reuben is from WA. The ultimate aim of the divisional system is to increase the standard of Hogg Premier and Hogg Division I which was pathetic last season.

How do I get into Hogg Premier League?

The only way to get into the premier league is to qualify for the Grand Final of Hogg Division I. The Grand Finalists of every division get promoted and the losers of the relegation finals get demoted.

Invitations will be sent out to coaches who have qualified for Premier League. If anyone does not claim their place the next seeded coach will then receive an invitation. The 2010 seedings for all 2009 coaches will be posted in this thread at a later time.

I was in last year. How do I sign up again?

I need you to PM me with your email address so I can update my database. I will send out the invites for the leagues once SuperCoach is up next year.

I am a newbie. Can I still join the Hogg?

Yes. Please include any past results in SuperCoach (link if possible) so that we don't get any Sharks in with the Goldfish. New users will have to start in a lower division but there might be up to two new divisions depending on interest. PM me with your email address to receive your invite.



GET ON THE HOGG IN 2010.

Time is running out for the Elephants and the Gorillas to join the zoo. If you are an existing Hogg Division I coach you'll be hoping that they do get their A into G because the coaches on the bench are much stronger. hawks rule finished in the top 100 in DT and the jack, while new to the Hogg has racked up strong scores in the past.

Hackham Hawk will be setting up this league and sending out the invites. If any coaches in red don't front the order of admission into this division as is on the bench. I don't know who Big Bangers are so I gave them the flick and Dogville, who I think is dinglinga has two days to contact me. I promoted The Jack and Sam instead of Manbaggers and Go Tiges who aren't that strong. The other new coach is Daryn37 who finished in the top 300 in DT last year but isn't as good at SC.

Bloody Darios! Not too many bunnies in Hogg Premier this year. Three of last year's bottom four are out of Hogg Premier and the bottom four are also out of Hogg Division I. Both leagues should rank really well in SuperCoach this year.

Is it too late to join up?

Is it too late to join up?

No problemo mate. Just PM me your email address. Let me know of your past SC record as well so I can put you into a divvy with someone of similar ability. Last year I canvassed hard for Hogg Shield members only to have about seven coaches try and join up at the last minute.

For anyone reading this.. you won't miss out if you put your hand up, but if you wait until the last week before the season opens then you'll end up in an unofficial league rather than one where you will be playing against fellow SAFOOTY.net posters (and others Australia wide. No international players as yet).
