Couldnt trade Martin cos he was a pre selcted player from the new side.

Quote this rule for me, because Dylan Grimes was pre-selected and got traded...

The reason you didn't trade him IMHO is because you were sweating on getting Comp Pick 2

Anyway, regarding this process, Elite Pete managed his list well enough to afford Rioli, Roys didn't. Simple

Re: 2011 Draft

Lose a high contract for a first rounder. I reckon I might go over the cap next year. Anyways I'll bid pick 56 for Shaw.

Re: 2011 Draft

Dont see how that is fair Russian. Oh well it is ur game. Unless i didnt understand properly

In Launceston uncontracted player selection thread
"These players will also be the opposite of other players in terms of tradability - they will be untradeable until a bid is won (and Launceston will automatically make an inactive minimum bid on each selected player whenever opposition bidding opens), and tradeable after a bid is won."

Re: 2011 Draft

BTW when i did get offers most were better the pick 2 imo. Top 10 pick plus quality player

Re: 2011 Draft

If the penalty wasn't harsh, no-one would care about going over. Roy boys had some offers to go back under the cap. Granted they were waited in my favour but he said himself he'd rather lose players for nothing than take a deal that wasn't in his favour. In my opinion that should mean he does lose his best players for nothing since he didn't even try to get under the cap. I also don't think you can blame the first off-season for going over. The rules are there to read and it's a pretty simple concept. Plus russian answers all questions.

Whilst its my fault and i take full responsibility and its russians game so i'm not going to challenge hes verdict or anything but what you just wrote is garbage.
Yes i did reject your offer because frankly it was insulting and losing him for nothing probably isn't all that much worse for me.
I put myself in a whole but some of the offers i got following this were insulting and again i don't blame you guys for doing that but don't insult me with this crap that i had the chance to get under the cap.

Re: 2011 Draft

Ok perhaps I was a bit harsh in my wording. What I wasn't ok with is the fact that you said you'd rather lose him for nothing than do one of these deals. I think this means you should lose him for nothing (ie. The pick 70 odd). The fact that you're getting compensated with a first round pick for going over the cap isn't a harsh enough penalty for me. There's every chance that you could be getting a cheaper player who can average as much or more than the player you're losing in a couple of seasons. With a developing list it almost becomes like staying over the cap was beneficial for you. Anyway, this is the last I will say on the matter as it is not my decision to make. I'm sorry if I offended you with my earlier comments.

 

[Russian]

Melbourne gets Shaw
Gippsland gets Rioli
Mozzies get compo pick 19 and pick 56

End of firesale

 

[Roy boys]

Cheers Russian thank you for doing it so swiftly.

Loopy you wanted Ward, Cunnington, Compo pick 1 and Beams and you were not giving me much in return. I fail to see how that could of possibly helped me at all and i said losing Rioli for a cut price is less fatal or an average list then trading away 4 of my best players.

 

[Woefully Inept]

hey guys sorry have been away

so i can offer pick 72 for Cyril?

EDIT: guess not...that's cool for me
