Supercoach should have something similar to what Dreamteam has with the "Eliminator".
Would give added excitement to players that can't make SC finals/can't win overall!

One thing that has driven me away from SC into other formats is a simple thing like the lights for who is selected/bench or not. I know you can pay extra for it but I'm not going to and it makes it a lot harder to manage them team without it.
When they changed that to SC Gold only I started to be less interested

Not a big issue but enough that it was an annoyance to go back and forth between the team sheets each week. Other formats I don't have the same issue and they have become more enjoyable to me

Definitely in favour of an eliminator. Obviously trimming the trades back into the 24-26 range would improve the balance a little, but as has been said that's never going to happen. Also like the idea of losing R4 for an extra midfield rookie. (I have nothing original to add 
)
I was a big fan of the change to 18 top scorers in bye rounds this year, that really reduced the emphasis on planning for byes when picking the initial squad without removing that element altogether. Can anyone explain why the AFL don't just do another split round rather than byes?
I don't think it will be a tragedy if they change nothing at all, the product is pretty good.

It'll just be the single week off next year because of the late start, so hopefully it's just a split round rather than three weeks of byes.
I think they're planning on round 1 being done in one week (as it should) rather than taking the two weeks to do as it has in the past. I think/assume the season starts 1 week later than usual, so assuming round 1 is like the rest of the rounds then the three week byes will probably stay unfortunately.

If you trade in a Swans player in any given round, your total score for that round is reduced by 9.8%

One small thing: changing the bloody interface of the SC website. Compared to last year it was an absolute disaster to try and navigate about the furthest thing from user friendly possible.

I liked 'Fantasy's' mid season DPP updates. Bring it on for SC!

If i wanted to play fantasy i would.
I hate Dream team because all the skill got removed with multiple trades each week
the skill is picking the right players, IN THEIR ALLOCATED spots, with a mix of DPP players as you deem necassary
Changing the goal posts mid race imho is the equivalent of watching umpiring, you just never know what your gonna get and is just plain annoying
at the start of each Supercoach season the rules are clear and wont change, for me that is the very reason i play and love Supercoach
Fair enough.
New element of trying to get that 'must have' fresh DPP player I don't think is that much of a bad idea. You could also get lucky and somebody that you already own gains DPP. Which would be a win! Skill to a certain extent is well and truly out the window these days IMO anyway. Everyone has the same info constantly at fingertips via smart phones, forums etc etc.
Think most don't play Fantasy based on scoring. "SC scoring is better" factor. And nothing to do with amount of trades or rules. The rules don't change if it is explained at start or season in 'rules' that potentially players could gain DPP during season.
Other than the impossible dream of classic lockout, I'd like a whole suite of new customisation options for draft leagues, and I think the scoring could use a tweak. For example, my gut-feel is that the decline in real scores over the last few years should see goals weighted more heavily.

Aesthetically speaking, I want Fletcher to have a wheelchair icon under his picture, if you select him, from the second he turns 40.

Not sure the thoughts on this idea but think it would be worth bringing up - more than just 2 trades per week, but decreasing overall trades.
If you have only 20-22 trades, it's still got the element of skill, but if you could make 3 or 4 trades in just 1 week it would bring the flexibility into it as well so not every best team just follows the structured path to winning.

Would still be restricting you imo. I think the only proper restrictions needed are salary cap + positions + total number of trades. Be free to use trades however you see fit. Open it up to blazes of glory.
Evidently not serious enough to quote a throwaway post from two months ago for the purpose of a whinge.

I'd rather more accurate DPP that's not treated as a gimmick. It seems almost a whim whom they give it to and it has to be balanced by rookies as well. Ultimate Footy goes over the top with it, but something in between seems far more practical.
I agree with those talking about the interface. Been going downhill rapidly since they introduced the new HS paywall and crap. SC Draft needs a major overhaul too, it's a shocking system, hopeless to use. Only did 1 league this year for that and it was a chore.
There's possibly a fantasy saturation now. The market has caught up to the demand, and now the AFL's official games are all in your face at every turn. Not to mention UF, RDT, Sportsbet, fantasy betting sites too.
So not surprised SC numbers be down. Especially when you consider the scoring system is so open to interpretation and the numbers aren't as easy to grasp as the simpleton versions that is DT.
