WXV Draft/Trading Timetable....

[meow meow]

I have 39 players on my list who played AFL games this year. One of the strong suits of my team is the depth. It will weaken my team if I have to cut it back to 36, but I don't have a problem with that at all. It's fair. When Tambling goes on to be a superstar at someone else's team it will just add to the rivalry.

Sid and I were having a discussion about trades and drafting and Sid had suggested that we should have originally had "zone picks" when we started; for example Wellington could have picked Dustin Martin (one of his parents were born there), Toronto could have picked Mike Pyke Mania and I myself could have landed NicNat.

Oh what a brillant idea that would have been. :o

But it got us thinking, for future drafts, should we look at introducing a drafting rule, like the father-son rule, that allows teams to bid for the right to draft a player from their home country?

We reckon that this will add some spice to future drafting as well as having some home-grown international talent.

Thoughts?

Hmmm, I like that. New players that are from or have a parent from one of our 18 coaches...

Do it like the F/S rule and bid I guess

There have been 2 German players..... I don't know about parents, but I think some coaches wouldn't have any eligible picks

[Boomz]

I doubt we'd have any eligible but it's the same with the FS... More will become eligible :)

Zonal draft picks will be great in the meantime. FS picks are a long while away... ::)

Anyone want to swap some picks around?
Wouldn't mind getting higher or even getting some preseason picks instead.

How about this....

Out of each team's delistings, you can nominate 2 that will not be available in the National Draft (they go to Preseason)...

Why not the other way around? :o

Or that....

[Purple 77]

Why?

Maybe I've missed something Oss, but I thought that all our delisted players go to the preseason draft so we could pick them up again, ala Michael Coad.

Also if I wanted to pick up someone that say The Seoul Magpies delisted, how would I go about that without them being put in the preseason draft?

[meow meow]

Chumps, they'll be available in the national draft.

[My Chumps]

Which then rolls over into the preseason if unselected, right?

Cheers meow.

[meow meow]

Yep, that's it.
