"Ken Hinkley will hand over the coaching reins at Port Adelaide to Josh Carr" - I think the late TiB danced a little jig and opened a bottle of red before realising the sentence finished "for 2026, with Hinkley to coach his final season at the Power this year."
Updated with relevant MSD dates, someone please check that it all makes sense 2 June 2025 MSD Trade period opens 9 June 2025 9:00pm - Delist deadline 16 June 2025 - Teams finalised for State of Origin competition 16 June 2025 7:00pm MSD starts 2 July 2025 - Lists final for 2025 season pt 2
Am I reading correctly that our MSD trade period opens before the last pre-mid season bye round is held?
Hey gang, I know it'd be a little while off but just checking in, when are we thinking to kick off the draft?
Our first 2026 fixture is Round 1, which begins on Thursday March 12. Hence our draft needs to be complete by (say) Monday the 9th of March. If we allow approximately 2 weeks (historically that seems sufficient) we can kick the draft off on Sunday the 22nd of February. Which suggests we should commence de-listments now - 11 days to get squad number down to 20 maximum. This is a link to player positions for 2026 (and some other stuff on the site) https://dreamteamtalk.com/2025/12/12/2026-afl-fantasy-classic-prices-positions-priced-at/. We can keep trading through until Draft Day. Hope that @Len can once again work his magic. He might want vary the above dates, which is fine by me. Key point, start de-listing from now.
@graeme, @Len, @JC giving me a chop out (thankyou!!!) to get us to season start, and I'll run with it from there I think is the current plan, although would love someone to step in FT Jen & Chris doing their usual wizardry with the FIXture
