If he's not back a week before the draft appoint an assistant to do draft research and draft for him? Reckon he will be back though he has been an FF member for a while so maybe just on holiday or something.

[Spinking]

Like it. FisherSaints (Currently an assistant at the Warewolves) has let me know he'd be happy to help MTTY out with this. That could be a good solution.

[KoopKicka]

Im also available to help out if needed. :)

[Ringo]

Like Jbs-hawks said MTTY has been a FF member for a while so I can see him coming back.  May just need to give him a push along though,

[Colliwobblers]

You can have Fisher Saints, nothing personal :) But i have no need of an assistant coach.

I would say letting Fisher draft for MTTY is a very generous offer given any of the rest of us would be sacked. If Fisher or another can't be found then there is only one option left.

Drafts are NOT that far away IMO...

National - Late November

Rookie/Preseason - Mid December

Let me know or tell Fisher to let me know if he wants to take on MTTYs assistant role or possibly his team if it comes to that so I can release him, don't want to sack him otherwise if he isn't required for MTTY.

My assistants for my teams are great  ;) Zombie2.5 ive spoken to prolly 3 times and Hawka in Asians doesnt really care so i just do what i want hence trading the only player he wanted in initial draft suckling lol ;D

Righto folks.  Another rule that needs clarifying.  I am so confused about the list movements calculation that MTTY has left us with:

1. A list change will occur for both teams if this happens: Player x for Player y

2. A list change will occur for both teams if this happens: Player x for Draft pick

3. A list change will not count if: Draft pick x for Draft pick y

There are a hundred scenarios that aren't explained by this rule, several of which have already been encountered.  I've just been trying to tally how many movements we've made, and honestly Im starting to guess a bit.

Lets discuss it a bit but my suggestion is a slight change to make it more simple.  What if we all have 10 trades rather than 5, but every time a player leaves your team (whether they have been traded in previously or not) it counts as one player movement for your team.  This would be much simpler to calculate and hopefully much less confusing.

I am reluctant to change the system mid trade period, but at the moment I'm lacking confidence to tell coaches that they have reached their limit as it is really ambiguous.

Thoughts please.

Why don't we make it 5 trades and every time someone moves its a trade? The whole idea of drafting a team is that you don't make so many moves, and if we have a second trade period we can trade more then anyway if we have to.

Yep, would agree with that except that some have already made more than 5 trades by using players they brought into the side.

Really hard one... ;)

[picker_man]

Dont like that idea at all BB if anything should be increased not deacreased....

In Asians it was put to a vote and nearly everyone voted for an increase, i think the best part about these comps is the trading period keeps everyone wanting to try improve there teams which ultimately keeps everyone interested. As the new administrator (assistant ::)) you should have complete control Spink and determibe new rules for the comp.... Really who gives a flower if itschanged mid season anyone seen umpirez act different week to week in afl........

[Spinking]

Hahaha.  Says the man who if there were 50 trades available, he would want to use 51!  ;D

Good to hear those points of view folks. Keep them coming!

[picker_man]

Good point :P but still Euros trading was a whole lot more fun compared to this comp.....which is wat its all about! Dont see why anyone should have a say in what a coach does with there team its there team ::) the good old days like being in school

why arnt there 51 trades allowed cause i have 52 ready to go ;D

[Spinking]

Any other thoughts on the rule clarifying list movements?

Also still need to know team rivalries for:

Bilston Bunnies
Grope Lane Giants
Hastings Hurricanes
Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs
Leeds Leeches
Manchester Magic
Nottingham Hoods
Oxford Owls
Swansea Breakers
Swindon Swaggers
