Hi everyone, We need to update the calendar and to do that we need to decide when to start the pre season draft. Once that is sorted, everything else will fall into line. There are only 2 board members at the moment and we have very different ideas about when the draft should start (I think maybe because one of us is from the FL and the other from the FA and both traditionally draft at very different speeds). Ive set the poll up with 3 options. Both our ideas and 1 in the middle. Please note the AFL preseason will run from February 16th to March 12th, and AFL round 1 commences on March 23rd. The poll will close after 7 days.
Given the trade period doesn't open til Jan 31. I suspect many in the league could be working to that rough timeline to check back in. My view is that we need some time to rattle everyone's cage and allow for a few weeks of trading with a majority around before jumping into the draft. In any case, a league wide wake up pm might be in order, at least to get a decent voting sample size.
Tough choice, part of me wants to draft asap as it's just about my favourite part of the season! But a little look at the preseason comp would be good to mislead a few of my competitors drafting plans.....
PSD will commence on Feb 26. Thanks to all who voted, the poll is now closed. I'll update the calendar later.
