I dont think there has been one. Roylion had something to say about it that i agreed with (too lazy to scroll back)
To be a bit lax on the rules this year as an introduction. Thought he was talking about under but may have been talking about over.
 
I do believe not many people really understood GST. That's why there's been so many applications, and it's taken teams over the limit
My feeling was that if a guy wasn't named as a GST, he couldn't play in a key position. But including smalls really confused me. What benefit does having small GST players have? Small defenders, guys like Harbrow, Wood, Griffen I'm not going to complain if they're named as back pockets, but they aren't stoppers. Small forwards I can sort of understand as you shouldn't be allowed to just load up with mids in the forward line. But I don't understand why they should fill your GST quota. I'm going to have Boomer, Josh Green, Charlie Cameron, Hogan, McKernan and JRiewoldt in my forward line, and I don't think I should be penalised for having them in my 40.

Russian said somewhere that GST players had nothing to do with naming them in a key position spot. Or it was more so all teams would have players in that position on their list?

Yes, but he did say that after applying had started. It's all a bit odd to me, especially with the "Darren Minchinton" types being Goalkickers, but not solving the KPP issue

I thought the intention was brought in because players who weren't KPP were being played in key positions. This is where having smalls included confused me. I understand that having a minimum is important so teams have enough to get through the season (barring disaster), I understand that having a max is important so there is enough to go around, but IMO, it's a teams own fault if they don't have enough. Go out and find more. When I name a team, I'll have at least 4 KPPs and a ruckman. Others won't and I see that as a problem.
 
Majority of coaches have been around long enough to realize you need to name a realistic line up consisting of key forwards and backs etc. A team shouldnt be penalized for having a wealth of KPPs. The responsibility should be on the other coaches to ensure they have enough of those type of players to meet the requirements of naming a team
 
(We're in the wrong thread here, but anyhow...)

I'd be more welcoming of a % penalty for players out of position. If I name Matthew Boyd at full forward, then he'd probably only have 50-70% of his normal production in that spot. It would reduce intentional out of position naming, and make it fairer for the opposition when a team has no choice but to play the only 18 they have

I'd be happy for it to be 0 to be honest. Maybe a % if it's a marginal one.

I'm ok with that if there's a viable alternative, if it's a case of this is all they have, then a %. Especially if all teams now have abided by GST requirements
