British General Discussion 2017/18 Season

[SilverLion]

Just wondering, do the players not currently on anyone's list get chucked into the draft, or is there another way they can get picked up?

In the rookie draft :)

Cheers iZander, and can we trade rookie draft picks?

Still looking at further ways - Would not be an Admin if ideas not flagged.

Just thinking that as AF clubs have a minimum of 47 players on their roster should we increase our lists to 47. To achieve this proposing a mini draft of the left over players based on finishing positions for 16 - 1.  Discussion on whether to snake for second Rd or  redo the 16 - 1. We have some 83 players left over from last year so would take 32 in this mini draft.
Bottom Teams would get a chance to improve lists from these players as well.
If consensus achieved would do prior to opening trade period and start asap after consensus.

Yeah i dont mind either way in this tbh
But if it were to be done shouldnt we just add it on from the end of the rookie draft? This would allow the team to be able to use those spots to trade in players or trade in nat picks or whatever. instead of having a 3rd different draft? or did i misunderstand?

[LF]

I assume it would be like a top up draft which we’ve had before when the teams in the comp were reduced

[Ringo]

Basically a top up mini draft over 2 rounds to bring lists to 47 before trading and give the bottom teams a chance to get some quality left over players as a priority. There are some players left that were overlooked in draft that have become reasonable depth players,

[GoLions]

I'd argue this could hurt the bottom teams. Less likely of picking up a good player in the rookie draft the following year.

Maybe but remember de-listed players go into the rookie draft each year as well and teams have to de-list to get draft picks. They also get first choice of players from the rookie draft,

My point is that it weakens the rookie draft, which kinda goes against what you're trying to achieve to help the bottom teams :p

I do like drafting though so I'm not gonna complain too much about extra picks haha. If we do this, I'd just extend the nat and/or rookie drafts by an extra round or two. Don't need an extra draft.

Fair enough so maybe we add an additional rounds to this years rookie draft as that is where players will be added to bring team lists to 47.  Need to get agreement on lifting to 47 though,

[SilverLion]

I'd be happy to lift to 47, if that's what the AFL uses with 18 sides, then it makes sense that we could do the same.

Would the 47 include players currently on our lists that have officially retired? (Such as K. Stevens, C. Rioli, C. Hanley, K. Tippett etc.)

It'd make sense to do this by adding an additional two rounds to the end of either the NAT draft or rookie draft, whichever seems more appropriate (I'm not sure which myself).

[iZander]

these players are forced delistings and you get infinite amount of picks at the end of the rookie draft until you fill you list fully

Righto, I can get behind this idea then :)
