HS don't want you to go to the game because it doesn't make them any money, they want you home on your bum on your puter so they can make more money!

There will be lots of people on forums next year complaining about how they cant get on to the website to update their team as well. Its hard enough to try and get on to update your team on a Friday arvo. Imagine if GAJ was a late withdrawal how many teams would need to be updated.

People talk of using their phones to update their teams whilst at the game, but there is an issue with that as well. Say there are 20,00 people at the game and 10% of them have a fantasy team that needs to be updated 5 mins before the game. Sure your phone will show that you have reception but that is only for calls or sms's. The backbone from these mobile phone towers isnt that much, doesnt matter what carrier you are with, you will struggle to get your team updated.

The rolling lockout is the answer to people complaining about players getting the green vest or being late withdrawals. But i expect the servers to get a real bashing next year and expect alot of down time.

FFS if you work weekends or have commitments as everyone does anyway including me it shouldnt affect ya anyway 4 emergencies and if there is a late change is usually only for one week, what are ya gonna burn a trade? just have your side ready by friday like normal hahahhah im sorry but all of yas that dont want this rule are obviously not looking into the rule as a whole and are just jumping on the obvious negatives as i already said people work friday nights too and dont have time to finalize their team with the announcement of the sunday squads please spare a thought for them.

Yes! We have 30 of those as well so why not burn a trade to make sure you win.
And there were plenty of times that I didn't have an emergency playing on certain lines so you cant rely on emergencies every week

so what about people who work fridays?? and not too mention the monday games when its an extended bench till the saturday? you dont give a flower or?
Well if you work Friday then it's no different to before is it? :-\ What have i missed?

What I'm trying to say is the changes from 2012 to 2013 make no difference if you still work Friday evenings. You'd have to do your trades for Friday beforehand anyway. :)

it makes it easier for those working fridays- it means even though they mightn't know the sunday/monday teams, they can still cover outs.

Thanks all for your support so far, currently on 126, please share this anyway you can, it would be a massive help. :D

Just as an aside Koop do we still register on the petition even though we do not contribute cash via paypal.  You can check to see if you have me as one of the 126 to confirm.  Was a bit confusing asking for money as the next step.

Do you guys realise that there is no longer any motivation to trade on friday night. In fact you will be disadvantaged by doing so.  In this new paradigm you will gain the optimum advantage by delaying your trade until the last poossible moment. This way you ensure that the player being traded in is not a late withdrawal. Plus if there is a late withdrawal to one of your players who was not going to be part of your original trade you can abandon your original plan and attend to the late withdrawal of the player who was not part of your original trade plan.

So now you need to decide two things each week.
1. What are your trades going to be (Plan A)
2. When during the weekend will you make these trades?

The more you think about this the more there is to consider.

The rule is an absolute frickin joke.
