Permanent rolling lockout in 2013

[Speculator]

I'm not big on DT talk as I live ff, but the ratio there is aboit 5/14 for a no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Seriously wtf are the imbisiles thinking? Worst thing they could ever do!

Surely the Captain will be locked at partial lockout? Simply cannot allow that advantage all year

I Will just have Walker as VC every game ;D

Are you saying that only 5 out of 14 DT Talk writers were against the rolling lockout? If so I'm staggered by that.

I think what he's trying to say is out of every 19 coaches 5 dont mind it and 14 dont want it.
The pole has had 2114 people vote, 1496 (71%) dont want it and 618 (21%) support it.

Can't believe all the whinging going on about rule changes this year. FFS people, it's a free game. If anything the rule changes make it more challenging because we have to change our strategy every year. No one on earth is so pathetic that they will be standing by their computer checking late outs and updating their SC team all weekend, so relax a bit everyone. If you want to eradicate something put your time towards something important like third world poverty or saving the amazon.

Dayne Beams became an elite fantasty football scorer in 2012
AFL FANTASY coaches will be allowed to make two trades a week, every round this season.

The change gives coaches a maximum of 46 trades, up from 24 in 2012.

However, with trades still limited to two per round, they cannot be saved up for later use.

The increased number of trades is one of several changes to the AFL's official fantasy game.

The field structure has also been altered, with gameday squads now featuring six defenders, eight midfielders, two ruckmen and six forwards.

In previous seasons it has been seven-six-two-seven.

And coaches will also be allowed to set four emergencies each round, up from three in past seasons.

This gives teams the ability to cover for late changes on every line â€" backs, midfield, rucks and forwards â€" for the first time in the game's history.

By popular demand, the green dot has been reinstated, giving coaches an easy snapshot of the ins and outs for their team every Thursday night.

Unlike its major competitor, AFL Fantasy will not introduce a rolling lockout, with teams to be locked at the bounce of the first game of each round.

This allows coaches the freedom to set their team for the weekend without having to worry about checking back before every match for late changes.

It makes AFL Fantasy the game for those who want to have a life beyond fantasy football.

As has already be announced, there will be a change in scoring during the bye rounds, with only the 18 best scores across each coach's squad to count.

And AFL Fantasy will continue with the same, easy to understand scoring system, which makes it easier for coaches to follow the progress of their players during matches.

An announcement on new game formats will be made in the coming weeks.
