you reckon will brodie is going to run another pb ?

I live around the corner from Alberton Oval and when they resume training I will be checking out Brodie, Marshall, Stephenson and Watkins.

Can I make an early prediction that all train the house down with massive preseason hype and exactly 0 play round 1.

Sounds familiar. Will be happy if 2 play.

So you don't have to listen to annoying voices for 1 hour.

Key points from the traders:
-Better upgraded system, user friendly, better features
-Editing trades no limit or restrictions. Example if you have traded a player who has played and the other hasn't played inside the same trade. You can trade the player that hasn't played as long as it's valid. Trade is only 100% locked if both players have played
-Triple position players (everyone will start as single or DPP, can become triple during the season) WOW
-Sub will count if they scored higher than a player on the field as long as player on the field has played less than 50% of the game. This is huuuuge!

Hope this helps because it is hard to listen to them.

Appreciate the summary and those are cool updates.

Love the Traders though, not sure why folks (not just you) hate on them!

Happy new year you lot!

Would think with the sub rule changes and the changes to the AF rules, key to have strong rookies on field and bench (without fear of sub, and need the bench cover for injuries.

More (under priced) premiums and rookies as an approach I would think.

 

[samFFC]

I wonder if your captain shits the bed and slips over doing an ankle in the process on under 50% TOG and gets replaced do we get VC or sub C or SFA4C or some other ... Loopy loopy doopy or hard luck suck eggs. Place your bets.

I would assume it would depend who you’re bench is.
If you don’t have a bench to cover, then the C would stay.
If you do, then the captain is subbed out, so VC would step up.

Otherwise you might lose more points from switching to VC?

 

[samFFC]

Todd Marshall is an interesting one. Priced at under $400k and allegedly playing in the back lines this year. I live around the corner from Alberton Oval so might drop in on training.

Might?? Mate, you’ve got 2 months to sort it out.

Glad you got the Xmas gift!

Same, they are amusing twits, and hurt no one.

Is that a euphemism for anything?

Is there a potential R3 that is appropriately priced who could be playing?

Will be interesting whether coaches throw this position for VC looping (I'm not sure you can throw one of the other lines) or try to get extra cash gen.

I mean fair to say that teams will likely end up with less than 30 playing after a couple of rounds, but its a question of whether you'd VC loop in DEF, MID or FWD knowing that you are risking getting a full EMG score for an injury.

I like to keep all players on the bench as active as possible, the cash gen is vital. I think that I will take the risk of looping over the early byes, but by no means set in concrete, it's not so much missing an emergency score because of an injury that concerns me, more the 50% rule.

Essendons ruck will be cheap.

What other occurences would this come into play outside of an injury though?

Do you expect regular on ground rookies to be getting <50% game time ?

I'm considering F8 at the moment

We saw with the sub rule that a lot of 1st year players got limited game time, there's no reason to suggest that it won't continue.

There is no sub rule now ?

I suspect most rookies will probably average 60% TOG

Just because there's no sub rule it doesn't mean that most rookies will average 60% TOG. Early days could well see 40%.

Right now, no one knows.

Anyone know when it's going to open?
