EXV: 2013 / 2014 Offseason Central

[Scrads]

Just a suggestion for trade period 3, maybe give us like 4 movements but make it draftees can't be traded and players who played 8+ games during the season can't be traded or something like that.

i was going to go with no trade period 3 and an additional 2 trades can be used in trade period 2 if you can justify legitiamte dpp reasons.

for example last year in the wolrds I did Dale Thomas + Troy Chaplin for Joel Selwood + Lachie Hunter. the reason I already had enough forwards and was lacking mids so I would have had the have played daisy in the mids which is a waste so traded him for a mid only.

Everyone knows we will be chomping at the bit to trade during the nab, why not have a baby period then? :P

What's the point of that? If you need to fix DPP changes you can use your 4-6 trades you already get in that period to fix it up, you shouldn't need an additional 2 movements.

Agree that we don't need a trade period 3 though, unless it's for novelty reasons.

Trading is great Scradsy, don't be a spoil sport ;)

Sure its not crucial but its not hurting anyone! :D

good point. think just scrap trade period 3 all together. Really 10 trade movements is alot and will probably restrict it even furter next year. So my advice is set your team up this year as hopefully you will be keeping it in the long run. The picks will hopefully be the main way you build a team in the future with a few trades.

Like the afl system.

Which I completely agree with, the only downside is that after our rookie draft finishes (which will probably be about January 20 if it starts on the 11th) then the EXV will have literally nothing to do until late March (barring NAB friendlies, but that is only 2 weeks + a rep game in the AFL next year)

Somebody should trade the Metal players to improve their team

10 + picks is more than enough. in fact its very lenient will likely be 6-8 in 2014.

could always put it to a vote but i have alot of PMs about people wanting the cap.

Yeah don't like the idea of mass movements between seasons. Also don't like the idea of a complete 2 month dearth of nothingness in the EXV though. How about this for a suggestion:

Trade Period 1: from now until day before AC and official positions are released (mid December). X amount of list movements.

National draft, immediately followed by rookie draft.

Trade Period 2: starts after drafts are done (early-mid January) until a week or two before NAB (mid Feb). X amount of list movements. This period would have to be 1 for 1 or 2 for 2 etc.

That means:
-DPP changes can be fixed via the Nat draft, Rookie draft and second trade period.
-The competition remains constantly 'active' over the off-season
-Trade periods can still have the appropriate limits to prevent mass changes to teams
-Only real downside is we do our drafts about a month after they happen in real life, but is that really an issue? Just means more time for planning really.

I like that idea, will run with it unless anyone has any objections.

Forgot to add in trade period 1 that trades wouldn't need to be one for one because we can delist/draft players to adjust our list sizes to the proper number (40?). Would also mean we need our delistings confirmed before the drafts in mid December.

Also, you will have to decide on the amounts of movements for each period and which players/picks count as a list movement.
