The best AFL draft game on the internetz:thumbsu:

Please post if you're interested.

It's a category based game with a live draft (if that's what everyone wants) with no one getting the same player (unlike SC/DT)

Teams:
vinum coupe - Vinum Kings
whoopsman - Red Devils
krisholio14 - Carnegie Crustaceans
Lancelot - Crazy Cats
Selwood_14 - Sellys Zoopers
TheTimeCometh - Hammer Time
darren forssman - john west
YIIIABLETTT - Citizen Erased
 
The usuals will be in I assume. We need to get the rules set early this year.

It would probably good if someone went through last years thread and extracted the comments / suggestions.

Really need the live draft too !

Cash in this time?
 
The main issues last year were the FF and FA cats were destroying games and that people didn't stay for the full season which made trading impossible with some teams.

Here's a couple of quotes from last years thread:

I like the keeper idea.

Gives you a chance to build a list. Not sure how it would work but it would reward talent spotting etc.

I haven't looked at the survey yet but I'd like a couple of cats changed that would throw a great dynamic on the comp.

1/ Drop % and bring in goal assists
This would deter some from holding all goal kickers (possibly) or forwards who are there just for possessions (such as daisy). TV would be the number one draft pick for this cat.

2/ Drop FF and bring in defensive 50 rebounds
This would make the draft deeper. I.e. you may not take griffin as he plays more midfield and is a possession getter and you may go for a scarlett who only gets 10 kicks but clears it 8 times (guessing on stats)

3/ Drop FA and bring in 50 entries.
This is pretty obvious I guess, it's similar in application to rebounds.

The other possible one is hardball gets.

And it would be interesting to pick a double stat captain. (with a vice) But this would have to be locked when the round starts.

That's the main thing, it creates some new angles on players.. and then when you head into a game against someone who's dominant in one or two categories it doesn't come down to a coin flip on the FF and FA categories.

So we'd be taking out FF, FA and introducing 4 new cats? Disposal efficiency, clangers, contested possessions and scoring assists?

I like the idea Means we need to give a lot more consideration to developing our squad.

Yeah from my attempt at making a league it looks like the cats are still the same which is a shame really.

We could do the same cats except have no FA's and FF's?

what would that make it, like 6 or 7 cats?

either there wasnt much interest in feedback about expanding the cats or the turkeys just didnt listen to the peeps.

this could be a really good game if they could just fix a few things.
 
I think we need more than 4 players first !
 
i think i could rope ttc back.

i could be the commish for the league and may have a big surprise for you all.:cool:.

just not sure if i have the time to chase people up and set everything up, especially since i will be interstate from the 9th to 14th.
 
Well i could get one of my friends to play.

Don't think Rockfords going to play. He's too busy.

Just thought i'd pop by to announce that I have two guys who are definite ins for next year and will stay active. They are Fantasy Footy nuts, so there won't be any issues.

Tryin to talk my brother into it as well, so if everyone who has been active for the last two seasons back up again, that would give us 11 players (if my bro signs on).

Also just wanted to put the idea of making this a keeper league out there for future seasons.

Ok I'm in again and this time I won't hord all the cats players from you all.

I again entered as Lancelot so you can either invite me or give me the info so I can join a custom league!

cheers
 
I'm keen to play also - I've got a league that needs a few members too if you are interested. it's called the ultimate league and you don't need a password to join. it's category based and has a live draft on the 21 march i think
 
I guess woopsman or the other guy need to start 1 allready ;)

I count 5 or 6 now? Anyway we need to get this stuff setup in time. Need to figure out who to draft and how I can place Ablett last in my draft pick!

Can someone please outline what is involved in this comp for any newbies?
No don't point to the web site.

From me.
To play you need to spend some time with a bit of research.
We do a live draft which is absolutely brilliant and takes 4 hours. But be warned, the top 100 players are gone in 5 minutes.

The good work is done 100-200


After the draft it's all plain sailing and comes down to your ability to trade to any sucker that will accept that fevola trade.

To be invited into the competition it helps if your name is voss.

i think you summed it up well.

i would setup a league, but with 2 ultimate footy teams, supercoach and yahoo fantasy nba teams to look after not sure i will have the time to put in.
 
Also if you are anything like me and sometimes sleep through your alarm always fill in the first 200-300 of the auto draft list (is it still there?) so that you won't end up with a gold coast team if you miss the draft.

Oh yeah and pls if you setup the league don't change the draft day/time just because you got a bad nr in the draft. In any case I should get nr 1 as I live the furthest away from Melbourne ;)

Anyone can play, but there is one simple rule.

You must play the season.
It only takes 5 minutes each week (at the barest minimum) to make sure all the guys on field for your team are playing.

Over the past 2 years we have had problems with people finding they have a crap team and they lost interest.

This completely roots it for the rest of us.

I have been in the position of having a crap side. I know.
It is imperative you don't trade out all your great players once you are dusted. Or the comp is crap and becomes one sided (as happened last year)
