i don't think they are doing the 3 bye round thing because the seasons a bit later but not 100% sure obviously

Great if so

[Ringo]

Worth considering Will look at it when actual draw is announced and see what can be worked out. We have an opportunity here with the reduction of teams to 16.

[kilbluff1985]

sorry if you have posted this already Ringo but

since all coaches are in place will trade period commence on the 8th instead of the 15th ?

also would you be against people posting trades after this weekend but obviously not to be approved until trade period opens?

not easy remembering deals for every trade especially when in multiple comps i'm sure i'm not the only one that would like to do this

[Ringo]

Have updated they key dates thread to reflect changes that have been agreed to.

Regarding posting trades can not post until trade period commences. Sorry but that defeats the purpose of having a designated trade period.  You can agree on trades before the period commences but they must not be posted until the official trade period begins.

no worries was worth asking lol

[kilbluff1985]

Rocky, B Crouch, Miles, Ziebell
McEvoy
Zaharakis, Howlett, Billings, Clarke/Schulz
Caddy, T Mitchell

Not sure that's really fixed. I doubt Zaka gets fwd, McEvoy hasn't been playing for the Hawks lately so you'll have a hole in the ruck if you play Clarke forward and Titch is still on the outer of the best 22 at the Swans

It's definitely better though.

+1 Zaha will be a mid only

[kilbluff1985]

Titch isn't on the outer he has had injury troubles all year they just managing him will be fine with an uninterrupted preseason

Zaharakis is every chance to get DPP they gave it to him in AF

i have McEvoy, Clarke and Bellchambers as ruck yes Belly had a poor year but he had like no preseason and even if i have to play Clarke in the ruck i can play Schulz or Turner who should get DPP and be a decent scorer and Crisp i think will get DPP and scored pretty well this year
