i asked a few in chat if anyone ever played a afl fantasy game like dt/sc before they existed by fairfax media
i remember it was 100 points to spend with players costing between 1-10
m0nty has some slight info on it here

had to mail in our trades i remember doing this with my brother Bratpack spending hours discussing our trades
now i know for a fact packed away at parents i do have the actual sheet that had all the prices and how to pick a side
i wouldn't mind asking them if they know where and taking a scan of it and uploading it
then could be fun to make a team form back then possible making a comp of it

though this early stages so not too sure as in no interest won't bother too much and might not be able to keep up :P

either way i reckon we will all get a kick out of it  ;)

also after a few years before DT/SC came on and it sort of died off i remember BP, a mate and i would take 2 dice and roll and whatever number rolled could choose form those players (11 or 12 cannot remember if re-roll or carry over points)
but say needed 5 defenders firsr roll was a 2 and a 3 so can pick any1 costing 5
etc

ok so BP is looking for it
i was speaking to him and he seems keen to run some form of comp with me for this if we can find that sheet
thoguh atm we are leaning towards doing a DT/SC style instead of a say worlds style as it makes scoring a little easier for us
but in saying that we are not completely sure till we see the sheet
also of course alot hinges on weather we find the sheet too as in no sheet no game

Lads, I'm keen as for this. Real classic DT / SC. get the format right and I reckon all the old school coaches will get on board!!:)
