    <p style='margin-bottom: 10pt;]There was a little talk preseason about fantasyAFL draft leagues. There are plenty of options out their now - Supercoach Draft, Dream Team Elite, Ultimate Footy etc etc etc. Tell us about their strengths and weaknesses as those of us who aren't involved may choose to avoid again next year or jump aboard to get another fantasy fix.
    <p style='margin-bottom: 10pt;]Are fantasyAFL draft leagues more or less interesting than regular Supercoach, Dream Team, Sportsbet and similar comps, and why ??
    <p style='margin-bottom: 10pt;]If you have created an fantasyAFLdraft league with mates tell us why it's the best thing since sliced bread or was fun at first but now has fallen apart.
    <p style='margin-bottom: 10pt;]If you could make all the decisions that need to be made what would make the best fantasyAFL draft league format?, ie I'd be keen to know
    <p style='margin-bottom: 10pt;]-Do you prefer to participate in a keeper league or draft afresh completely every year?
    - Do you prefer a live&amp;rdquo; draft over one (or more) night/s or a longer draft with a 12/24 hours time limit for each pick.
    - Do you like trading during the season, having a midseason draft or both.
    - Is a salary cap a good idea in a draft league and how should it work through the season.
    - Do you have a 3 week break over the rd11/12/13 byes, play with reduced squad sizes, or have another creative solution such as
    - picking teams as normal but counting each players best score only during rounds 11-13
    - having round 11 scores count as normal, then completign the round with the 6 bye teams scores from round 12 (not counting other games from round 12 and then having round 13 off)
    - Do you prefer leagues where the number of teams and team size means the worst players are mid pricers&amp;rdquo; or do you get a kick out of larger leagues or team sizes where teams are copping donuts or putting out spuds and rookies to make up the numbers
    - Don't forget scoring systems, rules about list size, positions for players, out of position players, emergencies, injury replacement, waiver claims, number fo teams and finals/playoff formatsetc.
    - What works well for other fantasy draft leagues in other sports- ie NBA, NFL, MLB - and whether that could be beneficial in an fantasyAFL draft league
    - Comment on anything else that keepsfantasy draft leaguescompetitive and enjoyable.
