Premier League Season 6 is on the horizon so please jump on board this thread and confirm whether you are in or out for this upcoming season. Please confirm by 8pm on Thursday July 10th and we will commence recruitment for any vacancies and schedule the leagues first ever trade periods and a one night draft date to suit everyone's availability shortly thereafter. @FreoDockers @Peter W @hoschke118 @Chloe @Jono Steven @Athos123 @WillH_VI @Corza @FreeKickLiam
Yep, awaiting AFLW Fantasy mate, expect a stack of the high averaging DEF and FWD from 2024 to be given MID classification as is the case every season.
With 2025 AFLW match sim scheduled for July 25 and 26 and then practice matches scheduled for August 2 and 3 I have worked out 3 indicative sets of dates for trading, delisting and drafting:- - trade period of 1 week starting 9pm July 27 and ending 9pm August 3 then delist by noon Monday August 4 and draft on Wednesday August 6, another trade period to run post draft until 9pm Tuesday August 12 - trade period of 1 week starting 9pm July 31 and ending 9pm August 7 then delist by 10pm August 7 and draft on Sunday August 10, another trade period to run post draft until 9pm Tuesday August 12 - trade period of 1 week starting 9pm August 1 and ending 9pm August 8 then delist by 10pm August 8 and draft on Monday August 11, with no post draft trade period My preference is if everyone is available on a Wednesday night to hold it on the 6th August, I have created a 7 day poll (above) closing this time next week so that we can see who is and isn't available on that date. Please vote early to allow time to adapt and decide another date if needed.
Sorry for the delay I've been flying here, there and everywhere. Wednesday nights are my one 'can't do' night, or at least at 8:30pm. If you bumped it earlier like 6:30 I could make it work, otherwise chances are I won't be able to make a pick until 10. If I'm the only one holding it up, can work out some priority lists, but essentially it's the night I play table tennis between 7:30-9:30, and while I can check my phone, it could be up to an hour on court without checking it. Happy to roll with whatever though and work out something to accommodate the rest. The remaining Monday-Friday week nights I'm fine with, just unlucky the Wednesday is the one I can't.
FYI I have amended the time in the poll until 10pm Melb time (8pm out West) on the assumption that @Peter W is blocked out earlier in the night and we should be done in around 90 minutes. If the later time causes an issue for anyone please let us know.
The 2025 Premier League fixture has now been published, please note coaches have an assigned round thread week and you can swap with another coach by mutual agreement if you wish http://tooserious.net/forum/threads/premier-league-fixture-thread-2025-now-posted.91701/
2025 AFLW Fantasy positions are out https://www.afl.com.au/aflw/news/1356370/aflw-fantasy-2025-prices-positions-revealed @FreeKickLiam has provided a Google sheets link on Twitter for those wanting to try out some lineups before the game officially launches https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1FuedDoH1LAgPt59onMRVAEOM51Ykuw-oG-zzYbJCb_U/htmlview# I have noted that the AFLW fantasy list above includes both retired and inactive players, and also excludes post draft topup/injury replacement players this spready summarises each AFLW list as at today and indicates which players are Premier League Free Agents prior to our delists in August thanks to @FreoDockers for the time and effort required to update the Too Serious Database which makes it much easier to do this work each pre-season
I am in a similar position to Peter - Wednesday nights are quite tough generally, but 10pm start should be okay as a one off.
We have 7 votes, with Peter W’s NO being explained by unavailability before 10pm. The others have until Sunday before the poll closes but at this stage and barring any clashes for multiple coaches I am anticipating the 6 August as the draft date and the trade period to run from 9pm 27 July until 9pm on August 3. Prior to the 27th (and hopefully prior to match sim) I will be compiling information showing the 2025 Premier League teams by position, which should help those interested in trading by showing which of the other teams have had changes of positions from last season.
Cheers for the feedback, noting the Wednesday issue for you both I would be keen for a Tuesday midseason draft, to avoid another Wednesday (if it goes that way), but that can be discussed once the 2025 season is underway.
