Holy crap, Kilian Martin is absolutely killing it at the moment with the “old school” stuff. This is how people should skate!

An Brett Novak has done a stunning job with the direction/music/treatment.

And you’re here!

What a great round of football (so far!) - made it to the North Melbourne vs. Essendon game and nearly bit my fingernails right off at the end of the game.

Anyway - check back later in the week for a nifty little update that could help you win your league, plus a some quick…

My final post-partial lockout, pre-round one dream team.

A couple of quick notes:

• Yep, I have a man-crush on Watson
• I’m projecting Leuenberger to be the highest averaging ruck after round 6. Cox will come in for one of the rookies
• Forward rookies are tough this year, I’ve had Pfeiffer and Kerridge locked until today.
• Back rookies are tougher. Morris/Ellis really didn’t look the goods last night.
• Already regretting Martin.
• Only potential change will be Hargrave to Lake, not sure.
• The 80k is so I can move some of my cheaper rookies to slightly more expensive ones if I have to.

Footynerd Updated: Captains, Top 25 & my Top 50

I’ve got a couple of quick updates to the Footynerd Bookmarklet launching today. Big sorry to Super Coach fans - but due to me not having enough historical data, none of these features will work for you.

First up, is a Gold, Silver and Bronze captain ranking. The ranking is based on my own projections, but I’m keeping an eye on the Analyser, Fan Footy and of course Calvin’s Captain as a bit of a sanity check.

Each Thursday there will be 10 captains chosen, and up to three will be highlighted in your team with a coloured border. This week Scott Thompson is our man!

I’m adding another quick resource for people who are too tight to buy the Analyser feature (seriously, do it, it’s worth it) and adding my Top 25 players for the week to footynerd.com. I’m using my own projection algorithm and datasets. It’s a little all over the shop, but should help to give you a quick insight into the best choices for round one.

Those projections will be improving over the course of the season, but I wanted to get something out for you now.

Last but not least - another quick resource for people who are still deciding on their key players this year: The Footynerd Top 50. Mike Sheahan be damned, this is your number 1 resource for picking players in Dream Team this year. One thing I particularly like in this dataset is the “First 6” column. Players that start strong are great - especially if you’re going for overall and plan on trading around the byes.

Again, this will get some updates over the course of the season, but it should be pretty obvious what everything means.

You don’t have to do anything to enable these new features - they’ll be enabled automatically next time you use the bookmarklet.

Aziz Ansari is releasing his new comedy special online, for $5. Pretty sure this is the future for comedy specials.

What is this?

I did a standup tour called Dangerously Delicious. Then I filmed it at the Warner Theatre in DC in June of 2011. I paid for the production myself and wanted to release it online. While I was trying to figure out the proper method of release, my friend and hilarious comedian Louis CK did his whole thing and it seemed to me that people really liked that model, so that was the route I decided to go.

Perfect. Purchased.

Footynerd Dreamteam Bookmarklet

Just a quick introduction to a little “afternoon project” of mine - a bookmarklet to provide a little extra information to players of AFL Dream Team and SuperCoach. Footynerd is a little failed project of mine, but it will live on (for this season at least) in this form…

This initial version doesn’t really do a lot (I mean, it’s still pre-season) but what it does do is change your team screen from this:

To this:

Byes are going to play a vital role in team selection this year, and this should help make sure you’ve got a nice balanced team.

You’ll also notice a handy little export button on if you use the bookmarklet on your team page - great for posting your team on Dream Team Talk, Fan Footy and the like.

I’ll be adding more features soon, some will automatically be added to the bookmarklet, but check back here (or follow me on twitter) for the full details. Feel free to request features on twitter as well.
