America's DT XVIII: General Discussion 2017

[LF]

We are back for a new season.
Fixtures won't be far off,Atto is working on them.
Trade Period 2 is still active for anyone wanting to trade still
Pre-Season comp will be back as well so long as we have DT points available

With T Dog looking like he is gone for good,we've found a new coach for El Paso.
We asked the caretaker coach first but HP declined due to his other commitments
So I asked one of the assistants from another team and he has accepted the role as new coach for El Paso,he is very knowledgable in the DT format and also with AFL overall especially his team Melbourne

Please welcome Barra to the coaching ranks of DT America's

[Nige]

Barra's been a fantastic assistant in Euros for me so I'm happy to see he has a team of his own now. Welcome Barra!

[LF]

Also I forgot any team name changes need to be in asap

[Barra13]

Thanks guys. I seem to get a lot of sneaky PM's from guys with all sorts of questions regarding Melbourne players and have always given my honest opinion and tried to help out coaches where I could.

Time for me to use that knowledge but looks like I will have to brush up on a few players that I have now acquired. Unfortunately I am stuck with only one trade but will deal with that. Thanks TDog. 8)

Also I forgot any team name changes need to be in asap

Thinking about it, as the new coach I think the Alpacas name should rest with TDog.

We will be now known as the El Paso Pioneers.

In accordance with the rules regarding players that retire after we have finished drafting but retire before the season starts,Washington will be allowed to delist Lumumba and take another player from the leftover players in the rookie draft

Didn't even know the rule existed, great news for Washington who are looking to bounce back to the top 8

[LF]

We are getting to the stage where some things will need to be finalised

- Any name changes need to be in asap so we can make adjustments where needed and for fixtures as well
- Preference Lists need to also be submitted asap,you can make any adjustments right up until round 1 and then the thread will be locked

Just a couple of other things
Did we want the eliminator run the same as last season,which is lowest scoring team eliminated each week,with no HGA or bonus points,happy for anyone wants to put forward suggestions for another way.

And is everyone happy keeping these penalties for non posting of teams
1st - Warning
2nd offence - VC Score doesn't count
3rd offence - Captain score doesn't count - Sacking - Team taken into admin - new coach

We need feedback from all you guys on what everyone would like to do about the round 9 bye.
One option is to treat it like the other bye rounds and we don't have have any matches that weekend.
