Squad size - definite no for me to an increase. There are plenty of players available that play nearly every week that noone wants cause they'd rather take a punt on 19 y/o's. Mandatory delistment - I think it helps even up the comp but I'm not complaining if coaches don't want it Round Review - don't mind how it's done. Everyone should make an effort to contribute but it's not a big deal if some don't Catastrophic Event-always think a vote is a good idea when something major comes up Non-Filling of teams - happy with the suggested way of dealing with it Team entry post each week-again it's good if everyone can get involved but it certainly shouldn't be mandatory MSD ranking - as we have been Loop holing - happy for it to be stopped if a clear effective rule can be made Another issue I'd like to raise is the rules that were added this time last year. All along it was said there would be a vote on any rule changes but in the end new rules were introduced without a vote. Some objections were raised at the time but nothing came of it and we all just let things roll along. Most of these rules relate to the commitment level of coaches and personally I think some of them are a bit extreme. I think it's important to remember that whilst we obviously all love our fantasy footy, this is just a game and it's meant to be enjoyable. I understand the intention of trying to get everyone involved and contributing, and I agree that the more this happens the better the comp will be for all. But we also all have families, careers and lives away from ORFFU that are much more important. We are a group of 18 individuals and in any group you are going to get a range of personalities. Diversity is a good thing and I don't think we want to turn this into a comp only for people who are online 24/7. It's important that everyone gets an equal say in the direction we take, rather than the more assertive forcing their views on the rest.
Hi Coaches, Thanks for the comments, debates opinions etc, I'll take what's here at the moment, summarise it, have a discussion with the other Board members and then go from there if there is a need for a poll in the first place or change can happen without a poll. Please don't let this stop you from posting more. I take on board Tylo's comments regarding changes to the rules without what was said was going to be done in ratifying thosechanges. Apologies to Tylo and any other coach that felt that a change was made last year and was pushed through with little or no input. In saying that not all changes should or will be voted on by every coach, some decisions must just simple be made by the board or as a Captain's call hence why we have a Commissioner & a board for some items. As previously mentioned I'd like to have a poll out there by mid-October if required and then the rules can be bedded down by the end of October so we all know exactly what's what even if we don't agree with every last rule. Hope you all will be screaming at the TV with a coldy in your hand tomorrow when GF is on.
Well it's been pretty active up here in Groote Eylandt, as reported by the ABC last Wednesday 04/11/15 $34 million has gone missing from the Groote Eylandt trust fund. Thsi sucks cause that's were the winnings from the ORFFU 2015 went to To top it off two guys are dead and another has been flown toDarwin for treatment after a large community disturbance on Saturday. Lucky enough for the Cuda's none of our players got caught up in it and pre-season training can start today.
But wait there's more! Rookie draft Friday for those that got delisted. Super Coach positions will be the nervous wait until January 16.

The Barracuda's have been shot down in the DPP stakes for 2016 with a heap of best 22 losing their flexibility, especially new recruit Everitt being allocated FWD after courted to GEFC as a defenseman.

Woops, I was away on work last week and missed the updates to this thread. My 2c.... Squad size - would prefer to leave it as is. any larger and there'll be next to no players to pick from in the msd Mandatory delistment - leave as is but any increase to list sizes i think should require mandatory delistments at both psd and msd (eg 1-2 at msd and 1-3 at psd) Round Review - home team Catastrophic Event - deal with it as it comes up. think it worked well this year with quite a few opinions were put forward then the board voted Non-Filling of teams - score of 1500 and a win recorded for first week for purposes of the draft Team entry post each week - leave as is. at times it can be a stretch to get the sc team in, updated tsleagues and post the 'fu team in the thread PSD &amp; MSD ranking - like how it's working now and agree with wrightbrendan that elimination final losers get picks 11/12, 13/14 for losers in next round of finals etc Loop holing - dislike it but not an easy one to stop. think we disallow any changes post friday night even for any monday games <div> </div>
Pfffft! ORFFU draft is over rated, I've managed to trade out of the first 3 rounds! 5 picks in total!!!
