With the change to the tackling position post 2017 season and previous major position changes post the 2016 season I thought it useful to outline all our positions and how they score.
We have 2 forwards and 2 midfielders and 1 of every other position making 10 positions on field. We also have 4 subs.
Each position below (except the Forward) also has 2 x FA’s taken off their score post the calculations outlined below. Forwards are not penalised for FA.
A picture of the 2017 Dark Side Premiership team is included below demonstrating the positions.
Forwards: (6 x Goals) + (1 x Behinds)
Half-Forward: (I50 x 3) + (Goals x 2) + (Marks x 1)
Marker: 4 x Marks
Midfielders: Disposals x 1
Extractor: (specialised midfielder): (Disposals/2) + (Clearances x 3)
Tackler*: Tackles x 5
Half-Back: (R50 x 3) + (I50 x 1)
Utility: ((Disposals) + (Marks x 4) + (Tackles x 5) + (Goals x 6) + (Behinds) + (Hit Outs))/2
R50 = Rebounds from defensive 50
I50 = Inside 50’s
*Note this is the last season of the tackler position. In 2019 it changes to a Tackling Midfielder as per this vote
