To be eligible for the prizes - are you still restricted to only submitting one team? Or can you now submit multiple teams?

If they ever allow for you to have multiple teams, I'll quit DT.

Would be handy to be able to have 2 teams - 1 for the league win and 1 for the overall comp - but i guess not!

 

[SkankDanker]

You used to be able to have three teams once because the promoters used to make a buck out of it - you just had to buy a book/magazine style thing online from the UK.

Now that has stopped it is now basically about the sponsors - they want to believe they are getting access to 300K individuals. It isn't really about honour.

DT is a funny game - you have to try and win three games: League, Overall, Eliminator - with the one team.

Most commonly though, success on the Overall scale general results in success in the others.

The Eliminator prize is a bit disappointing this season, would much rather the highest score prize be given to the eliminator winner. But then again to get the highest scores of the season is pretty tough but seems more luck while eliminator you can kind of do more to beat certain people.

All the prizes are really pretty poor considering the growth in popularity of the game.

Back around 1997* when The Age first introduced AFL fantasy football, the participation was around 50,000 and the winner received a Mercedes.

* not 100% sure on the year

Hey guys,

Im not quite understanding this new substitution system which has been introduced in 2010 and woundering if someone can shed some light on it for me (By the way I have read the rules section on the AFL website and still dont quite understand it). Does this new substitution system mean if i have Leon Davis for example as a forward and is also available in the mid field. And i have Matt Pavlich in my midfield who is also available as a forward, i can switch them at any stage during the season without sacrificing a trade? So leon will be in my mids and Pav will be up forward? Is this correct of have i completly read it wrong?

Correct. It works exactly the same as switching a player from the bench to the field.

ok i'm not sure if this has been asked before but, in my team i have 7 hawks players and to me it seems kinda unhealthy to have so many, should i trade a few or is it fine considering that so many hawks players are cheap and promising?

You can do it any time you would be able to substitute any other player. i.e. not during lockout.

If you think they're the best option in their position at their price, then which club they're from is irrelevant. The reason so many Hawks are well-priced is because we expect them to improve.

That is such a lie. You should be ashamed.

 

[BACCS]

I would say just finish in the top 100000 and you'll be adequatly qualified.

Are people taking into consideration who teams play twice. (eg: if a player plays against richmond twice this year) they could/should improve their avg. I have Richmond finishing last and it looks like they may finish last by a long way IMO. Its only one NAB but i cant see where their gonna get goals from and players like Deledio really struggle in weak sides. Foley is a little way away, Jackson is a tagger and probably couldve swerved the influence of Mitchell or Hodge slightly but the affect of a tagger in a weak side does little. They didnt have alot of quality players missing.

 

[Yellow Feathers]

Good point.

Teams that are at the top of the ladder score higher than those at the bottom. You should generally (particually in the midfield) choose players from the top as keepers.

Im starting with 4 gun midfielders, all of them are from top 4 teams.

If am keen on two players with only one spot to fill, I will consider the draw and who they are likely to play.
