The general discussion thread for anything and everything AFL Team Manager. If you have an AFLTM topic or opinion to discuss or share with other AFLTM coaches, this is the place for it.

First up, with the introduction of the Tasmanian AFL team in 2028, I'm likely to increase AFLTM senior list sizes to 44 per team, staggered over two off-seasons (26/27 and 27/28). This means senior lists will increase to 42 for the next off-season and then 44 for the following. With this will also come an increase to the total player payments allowed.

Any thoughts of increasing the number of scoring players in matches from 18 to 20-22 by introducing a bench or 2-4 players?

I'm open to it, biggest negative I can see though is that some teams are struggling to field a full team as it is. The introduction of byes when Tasmania enter the competition also won't help.
The increase in senior list size does help though.

Not a rule change but it looks like AFL Fantasy are introducing triple position classification for 2026. These positions will be incorporated into AFLTM position classification.
