Ok,
Here's the rules...
Coach A (you) says I trade <player(s)> for Coach B's <player's>. Coach A needs to give a reason as to why they are trading...
Coach B then needs to post to confirm, AND to give a reason why they are trading.
Each day I will send a list of trades that have been confirmed to all coaches.
Once you receive an email, you have the option to REJECT a trade by replying to me or ignore it. If you reject, you must give a REASON. If the reason isn't satisfactory, it won't count (I will be very flexible with this, doesn't have to be a detailed reason)
If 6 people give valid reasons to reject WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE PM, the trade won't go through.
Trade Opens TOMORROW (19th January) at 8AM.
Trades Close Thursday, February 2nd 8AM.

sounds fair.
The only thing I would say is that 48 hours is too long... Because if one of my trades is blocked I want plenty of time to be able to re-negotiate...

Agreed.
Also I think if both people really want the trade then why can't it go through?
My trades are always fair as you can tell how I'm going in Euros with this trading thing :-X.
So many reasons to be given :-\.
24 hours? Same as the draft rules?
Hmmm, I'll do the 24 hour thing. Think Boomz is right, 48 is too long.
OPEN by the way
Guess I'll announce the first trade of the competition, and it's between me and pyro :)
I give Bernie Vince and Matt de Boer.
Pyro gives Rory Sloane and Jason Porplyzia.
Reason being I was after another forward so thought I would take a big risk on the Porpoise, who is my favourite player. Sloane is my second favourite player so just bringing in my favourites really :)
Cheers CF, now pyro needs to confirm (with reason) and next stage goes through!
Was expecting lots of people to be posting trades by now. I wanted to see them all :(

confirmmmmmmmmmed :P
I felt I needed an experienced player who isn't particularly old, like vince, and CF wanted Sloane and Porps, who I don't really need and he threw in de Boer to even it up a touch I think :P
Toronto Wolves and Mexico Suns have struck a deal.
I trade youngster Keiran Harper.
Toronto trade Jordan Lewis.
I accepted this trade because I need more experience as I'm going for the title, and although Harper has loads of potential he has no value to my team situation. 19 year olds dont suit me :P
I trade Anthony Morabito
Pyro Trades Jake Carlisle
Reason: I like Carlisle and need defenders more than mids :-X
Mr and oss have struck a deal.
Kreuzer and Sidebottom for Deledio and Dangerfield.
O_O
Nah, surely not!

Quote from: Purple 77 on January 19, 2012, 04:15:56 PM
Me, the Berlin Brewers and Hellopplz' PNL Reindeers have struck a deal.
I trade Luke Ball in exchange for Hellopplz Trent West
Reason: I wanted a dependable, relatively young ruckman who will serve me in the years to come, and it also allows me to do another trade which Ossie will announce when the this trade becomes official.
I accept.
Reason: Ball was taken some time before West was (In the draft). My midfield is somewhat lacking and Ball brings a very consistent and solid scorer there. Let go of West as already have Lobbe and Graham there, not to mention have almost secured the services for West's replacement.
Quote from: bomberboy0618 on January 19, 2012, 02:57:07 PM
Mr and oss have struck a deal.
Kreuzer and Sidebottom for Deledio and Dangerfield.
Confirmed. bomberboy needs a ruck, I need a premium defender, and Sidbum and Danger make the difference.
BB, you need a reason!
Hilly and I have struck a deal:
Robert Murphy, Jarrad McVeigh and Stephen Hill
For
Trent Cotchin, JPK and Ryan O'Keefe.
I like this deal because I gain two very good young mids in Cotch and JPK, and a premium forward with a couple of good years still in him.
I'm guessing Hilly likes this deal because he gains what will be his number 1 defender, a premium mid and an up-and-coming star in Hill.
Purple and myself have also struck a deal that will see Greg Broughton come to the Cape Town Cobras, and Jack Watts leave to the Berlin Brewers... Please note that I will not follow through with this deal if that deal with Hilly falls through for whatever reason, if that suits the rules? ;)
Fair enough MC, will remember that :)
2 oldies and a youngy, for 2 youngys and an oldy.

McVeigh is only 26 but he seems way older because he's bald. The beard doesn't help either.

Confirmed.
Reason: I really wanted a young guy that will always be considered as a forward, and that has huge potential. Just hope Mark Neeld won't make him a full time defender!
Of course, as MC said, this will only happen if his other trade does.
Yep yep ;)
Oh, and reason for this one:
Because it paved way for my other trade and I gain a top 10 defender... It also means I don't have Sylvia and Watts in the same line, which could've cause problems if Melbourne lose by 200 or so points again :P
I think the trade is fair, I got a proper Ruck, and sidebottom will average 100 soon.
What happens if there are 6 block votes for a trade but they each have different views.
e.g. i trade Boyd for Pendles, 3 people say I lose heavily for losing Boyd, 3 others say i win too easily coz Pendles is a beast.

I would assume that would just count as 6? :-\
Yeah, I guess. Interesting point though PB
*yawn* different perspectives.
but pendles makes you a clear winner in that scenario, probably a poor choice :P
Why would anyone trade their No.1 pick in the draft for one player anyway :P
Me and meow trade treloar for lake.
Quote from: bomberboy0618 on January 19, 2012, 10:43:26 PM
Me and meow trade treloar for lake.
It's true.
I get a mid that I have been after, and he fits the youthful look of my team. I had to trade out a back to do it, since none of y'all want a piece of my forwards.

I needed a back and m2 wanted treloar.
Trade has been struck between CF and I.
I trade:
Sam Fisher and Beau Waters
CF trades:
Brad Sewell and Cheynee Stiller
Reason: Sewell is my favourite player and still capable of averaging 95+, Fisher is aging and gonna go downhill and Waters for Stiller is about the same except Stiller played more games.

Confirmed. Needed a premium defender cos I was lacking in that department. And taking the risk on Waters that he will stay injury free...

he has no assistants. I can show Ossie the PM's where he accepts?
I really need this trade. really need it :-X
I guess that could work. Or you have to wait. :P
Another trade from me tonight, this time with PB.
I trade:
Travis Boak
PB trades:
Leigh Adams
Reason: I really need to get some good forwards and Adams is a young guy who will hopefully improve.

Confirmed.
I know it goes against what i wanted to do and get rid of my fringe mids (as i'm stacked up on them) but Boak makes my midfield stronger, and i have some replacements for Adams who can take that spot.

I confirm this trade, my reason being that I have way too many midfielders and Lewis wouldn't be getting games for me so there was not much point in keeping him and Harper is one of my favourite players and is a young forward, which is what i really needed.
isn't lewis a dpp forward?
Don't think so. Could someone else confirm/deny this?
Quote from: roo boys! on January 20, 2012, 12:30:20 AM

fail, you got pwned in that trade :P
Quote from: Purple 77 on January 20, 2012, 09:03:07 AM
well if you didn't need lewis then he may as well have been trade bait, harper is a good find :)
19 year old averaging 63. I wouldn't mind either :)
I know it's a bit late.
but yes the deal between Chumps and I is confirmed.
reason being I was in desperate need for defenders, I think the. New midfielders I have are good because they are in very solid teams.

All seem good so far.
The Seoul Magpies are announcing they have a struck a deal with Berlin Brewer's coach Purple 77 that will see:
JACK TRENGOVE and CHRIS KNIGHTS head to Germany
and RYAN GRIFFEN and BRENT RENOUF head to South Korea.
Trengove no doubt will be a star, but the Magpies believe Griffen feels a more immediate need. Brent Renouf is needed to boost ruck-stocks given the departure of Matt Kreuzer, and Chris Knights loses a bit of value with the recent arrival of Patrick Dangerfield.

Yeah they are. Or so I think.
I can confirm this :/
So what happened with yesterdays trades??
Mexico Trades: Callan Ward, Billy Longer and Nick Malceski.
Dublin Trades: Paul Chapman, Nick Riewoldt and Shaun Burgoyne.
I have agreed to this trade with Holz because Ward and Longer are too young for my team and I don't really need Malceski because I have lots of backman anyway. I need old guys that will help short term so I have accepted his 3 players.
All trades went through AGAIN. But 7 different coaches objected this time, but no one trade got 6 objections.
Personally I think #7 is daylight robbery
6. Maca24 trades Keiran Harper to roo boys! for Jordan Lewis (confirmed)

I accept,
its obvious why i did it my 3 players going out are very old and my team is too young, i think ward could be the best player at GWS this year, longer is a promising ruck and malcheski can average the same if not more than burgoyne and is 2 years younger.
Boomz trades: Graham Johncock

My midfield now consists of: Selwood, Watson, Cotchin and JPK :P

meow is trading out Chris Masten to MajorLazer in return for Jordan Russell
I think that both players have potential, but I would rather have my speculative picks playing in other areas rather than midfield, so i'm happy to role the dice on a backman.

I'll enjoy the challenge of rebuilding when the time comes! :)
The thing is I can only see 1-2 players retiring at seasons end, so I feel I can still be very competitive in season 2.
But we shall all see I guess :P

3 guys around 30 for possibly the best player at GWS, a great ruck propsect and a backman who averaged 97 in 2010 when fully fit.
Quote from: Purple 77 on January 23, 2012, 10:11:52 PM
The age is an issue, but all three of your guys can get monstrous scores, also consistently and average above 100, Ward and Longer haven't proven themselves IMO, malceski is alright.
But, setting up for your future is good, tis what i did
i do agree with the monster scores but i think malceski is also capable of doing so, and ward 90 average and still 10 years of game time left, was too good to give up. It puts Macca as strong favourite for the cup though

It was the same with the MC and CM trade.

Stephen Hill (P186)
and CM gave:
Trent Cotchin (P27 and CM's second pick)
Ryan O'Keefe (P63)
Josh P. Kennedy (P99)
CM gave up 3 players that he had chosen before any of the players he got in return. Makes no sense!

Well there you have it. Maca wins Season 2012.
and the spoon in a few years
Sorry Holz, you lost that trade by a mile.
Maca gives:
Ward (P120)
Longer (Draft P7)
Eski (P336)
You give:
Chapman (P93)
NRoo (P94)
Burgoyne (P194)
Why would you even consider it?
I bet if we did the draft again, it would be majorly different.
NRoo and Chappy were both taken before Ward, but now Ward seems more valuable once people have thought about it and are starting to see the value in youth.
Would people give up a player with 2 years left for a first round pick? Probably.
So then it becomes Maceski vs Burgoyne, which isn't that uneven.
Ward and Longer for Chapman and Roo is not fair Meow.
Roo is only 29, Chappy just turned 30, so still a few years left.

i know i lost out on the trade, however when i made my chapman and nroo picks, i had logged in at uni to check something else, and was in class. I asked if people could wait 1 hour till finished, people said no so i had to rush my picks without researching anything or considering who was good for my team.
If i had time i would have gone Lecras over chappy and Nroo, and i would have tossed up between chappy, beams, ziebell, ward probably going with beams.
my alternative to not trading is, what finish in the top 8 for a few years than these 3 retire and i probably stay around the top 8.
i got offered much worse trades for these 3, so i though im not going to win the cup so why not get some guys that could give me a chance of top 4 in a few years.
I will have a decent team in 3 years with a mid of Thomas, Mundy,Barlow, Ward, Caddy, Omeara
probably the best young ruck lineup in Mumford, Clarke (who will become a forward) and now Longer
my backline is solid, i think Clarke could be a gun forward in a few years, schnieder is solid and walsh, day etc.... could become good players.

How on earth do you get banned for 2 weeks? I didn't even know it was possible.
BB and Cicjose were constantly at each other's throats on the cricket threads, and both have been given holidays by m0nty to cool off.
The old cricket thread seems to have a few dramas. I remember Cic saying thats where he thinks all of his boos came from.
BB will probably come on http://www.ffelitechat.webs.com so if people need to discuss trades with him then check there... (he's not on atm though).
I am the laziest coach to deal with. I never approach anybody and am usually on chat if at home. Feel free to contact me or my assistants :P. I still have 3 players to trade :).

B******. So close to 100 as well -_-.
The trade drought has been broken! :o
The Pacific Islanders have finally come to the trading table and have successfully worked out a deal with the Toronto Wolves.
Michael Jamison FOR Todd Banfield.
Islanders Reason: Needed more forward depth since we only have 5 forwards currently that definitely will be playing each week. :-\
Yep I confirm this, my reason being if you look at my defenders I am still a bit iffy in that department, and I need another one who is going to play every week. I know I will probably be losing points, but it was very unlikely Banfield would even play for me due to the forwards I have, but Jamison probably will.
The Pacific Islanders have made yet another trade! This time working out a deal with the Moscow Spetsnaz. :)
James Frawley FOR Jarrod Witts.
Islanders Reason: Witts is the final piece we needed for our rucking department since we now have 3 of Collingwood's ruckman. Good backup in case any get injured! :)

With the loss of Lake, we needed another solid defender. Witts will be a beast, but we already have decent young rucks, and Frawley is the right age 19-24 that I targeted.
My Bad! Completely slipped my mind to send out the confirmation messages. Will do now....
And having said that, i screwed up again!
In the message i meant rb instead of Boomz *facepalm*
cheers 77 :)
Finally got Witts 8)

Jolly/Wood/Witts

After weeks of negotiating me & HP have come to a deal...
I trade Harbrow & Dennis-Lane - HP trades Dahlhaus & Gillies.
Reason: Wanted another fwd even though it leaves my defence a little weak. Gillies good depth & should get more games with the cats defence not getting any younger.
*brushes off cobwebs*

Yep, I accept.
Reason: I got an itchy trigger finger for another trade :P. Seriously, my backline was kinda shocking and relied too much on some to step up. I traded for Harbrow who I like and can score well in Defence. Not to mention he was picked round 8 compared to round 15 for Dahl. Gillies I like but had to be given up to get the deal done. TDL was just thrown in as I couldn't get anything better (and was just taken like 5 or so picks behind Gillies) :P.
I am lazy and Boomzie is always on chat to discuss trades here and there, when I can be stuffed :P.
Last day (morning) of trades.
Let the frantic negotiations begin! ;D
c4 and I have reached a deal.
I trade: Nathan van Berlo and Aaron Hall
c4 trades: Kerr and Aaron Black
Reason: IMO Kerr and van Berlo are close enough to like-for-like and I really wanted Black, so it is basically Black for Hall.
TRADE CANCELLED!
Sorry, there was confusion over which Black, I don't want Simon. Too many midfielders. No deal.
And it's all over
c4 and rb unfortunately miss out on a last minute trade.... thanks everyone, has been a long trade period.
Oooo controversy on the final morning! :o
Should know tonight if mine & HP's trade went through right ossie?
That's right boomz
Yup. Severely doubt it won't go through though...
Stuck with Kerr and Black >:(
Final trade approved btw, with no objections

Lol. My only decent trade. :)
I got really bagged for my trade with Macca, i know its only 1 week but these guys are showing promise
Longer 85, ward 130 , Eski 80 for Burgoyne 61, Chappy 57, Nroo 116
From the first three rounds my 2 trades look very promising :)
1. CrowsFan trades Bernie Vince and Matt de Boer to pyronerd for Rory Sloane and Jason Porplyiza
Sloane = 290 points from 3 games
Porplyzia = 234 points from 3 games
Vince = 211 points from 3 games
de Boer = 233 points from 3 games
9. MajorLazer trades for Sam Fisher and Beau Waters to CrowsFan for Brad Sewell and Cheynee Stiller
Fisher = 310 points from 3 games
Waters = 246 points from 3 games
Sewell = 233 points from 3 games
Stiller = 151 points from 2 games
Total = 1,080 points vs 828 points
So far winning :)
I still wish Id managed to get a proper forward.
Lol. I traded luke ball to hp for trent west...... ;)
Lookin pretty good now isn't it? lol

Hilly and I have struck a deal:
Robert Murphy, Jarrad McVeigh and Stephen Hill
For
Trent Cotchin, JPK and Ryan O'Keefe.
JPK = 389 from 3
Cotchin = 354 from 3
O'Keefe = 108 from 2 :(
Murphy = 266 from 3
McVeigh = 251 from 3
Hill = 207 from 3
851 vs 724
Despite O'Keefes poor start to the season, I think I've done pretty well with this trade :D
