Dream Team 2011 Rule Changes
Several changes have been made to the game format of the 2011 Toyota AFL Dream Team that may impact on the way you coach your team, to account for the introduction of the 17th team and the changes in the AFL Fixture. These include:

    * Squad sizes have been increased from 30 to 33 players, with an extra defender, midfielder and forward on the bench - to allow for more flexibility when players are not available due to a bye.

    * Four additional trades, for a total of 24 for the season (maximum of 2 per week remains unchanged).

    * Leagues head-to-head competition begins in Round 1 - you'll play over 15 rounds, with the 5 rounds where three AFL clubs have a bye (Round 4, 5, 6, 16 and 19) also being 'bye' rounds in your leagues (no head-to-head match ups). Your team continues to play and score as usual in the general comp over those 5 rounds. Finals series follow during Rounds 21-24.
