    Welcome Everybody to the 2016 Trading Games league!

    *** TEAM UPDATED - PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE TO THE ONE SHOWN BELOW BEFORE SATURDAY ***

    What's it all about?     Basically every year some of the leaders in the community gather together and choose the players picked in a team we all start with. The players in every team in the group start the same before the round 1 lockout. Then, as the year progresses, and trades are made, the challenge becomes finishing on top of the group with the most points overall. That's it; just use your trades and your emergency/captain picks wisely, and turn the team we all start with into a winning team by scoring the most points.

    Rules:1. EVERYBODY must start with the exact same 30 players. No exceptions.

    2. You don't use your main team, we would prefer if you 'invited' your daughter, wife, grandfather etc to create a team that you help to manage throughout the year. Don't join this league if you don't want to follow rule 1.

    3. Like always, let's have fun and keep positive. Banter is expected and welcomed! Anyway, the whole thing is up in the air for discussion as always. What are your thoughts to make it interesting again this year?

    Throwing this post up to gauge interest in this year's effort. It's getting pretty close to the deadline, so I'll get a team up shortly. Will be very cookie cutter I reckon (Unless there's any objections to that in the comment below)

    Will also have to throw a shoutout to the Two-Time champion, @Buzzboys - you gunna throw down for the triple crown this year?

    How to Join?

    Step 1: Sign up to the Trading Games group
    http://supercoach.heraldsun.com.au/afl/classic/group?cic=615554

    Step 2: Makes sure you have the correct team entered! Prior to the Melbourne-GWS game the team should look like this:
    TradingGames2.JPG

    Step 3: Choose your captain/vice captain and any emergencies. You could get the jump on the rest of the field with some astute choices even with an identical 30-man squad.

    Step 4: If you wish, you can use DPP to rearrange the 30 players shown above. e.g. Petracca could be brought to the MID line and Wells could become a FWD. Just don't change the squad of 30.

    Good luck everybody and happy trading!

      I brought in Pendles in my own team this week, but i was $5k short of being able to afford him in this. His points woulda been handy.

      The Skips slipped a couple of hundred places in the overall ranking this week, but are looking forward to bouncing back quickly straight away.

      I've also considered launching a new thread, but won't have the time to do so this week either.

      Im playing against @bunza @bunza52 and I see they have VC on Danger, but Cap is still Pendles.
      They better bring on Aaron Hall or Connor Menadue to be captain.

      I didnt get around to setting up my team before the thursday game. For both my own team and this TG team, Ive ended up with Laird on the bench and not even emergency. missed 91 points there.
      Whats worse too is Im probably going to have to trade Jacob Hopper early to avoid a zero as ive only got 17 players playing (woulda been 18 with Laird)
