Yeah have tapped a couple of times in last month. General gist is that RL is his priority atm. Have extended a hand to give him a chop out if needed. Awaiting reply.
Cheers mate, I suspected something like that, might be a good idea for him to jump in th back seat for a while so this can ba a welcome distraction and not something he has to focus on..
As much as I would love a few more JLT matches to enable me to make a few more knee jerk PSD selections based on one good preseason game (I am looking at you Harrison Wigg) I don't think we can delay the draft start any later so happy with that and with trading starting on the 15th.
Ok Trippers, The board has convened and agreed to the schedule proposed by @TheTassieHawk OP has been updated. Anyone is welcome to kick off a trade discussion, auction and completed trades thread.
Hey @That KI Guy it might be time to put in the rest of the season's key dates but most importantly *Completion of the PSD* - Post PSD trade period opens 11:59pm XX/03/18 - Trade period closes 22/03/18 - 2018 ORFFF Round 1
Thanks TTH OP has been updated. Once the PSD end date is known then i'll add this in. Motoring along, so at this rate we'll be done by end of Feb. Well done all. reminder - Any post PSD player trades need to be one for one to ensure lists remain at 30.
I reckon any post season trade period should be 3 week maximum, if we do have one. As for timing I would be happy starting sometime after AFL trade week ie October 18 onward. Key player movement dates (all times AEDT) Restricted and Unrestricted Free Agency- 9am Friday, October 5 to 5pm Friday, October 12 NAB AFL Trade Period – Players and Selections - 9am Monday, October 8 to 8.30pm Wednesday, October 17 NAB AFL Trade Period – Selections only - 9am Thursday, October 18 to 2pm Friday, November 16 NAB AFL Draft First Round: Evening Thursday, November 22 (time to be confirmed) Second Round to completion: Friday, November 23 (time to be confirmed) NAB AFL Preseason and Rookie Drafts Evening Friday, November 23 (time to be confirmed)
Tbh guys, I’m not in the least bit fussed on duration and timing. I just decided on a number and posted it. But yeah, democracy and all that, we can discuss. @TheTassieHawk you seem pretty savvy with polls. Can you whack one up and get a gauge on people’s preferences?
Yeah it's a bit of an awkward window which is often why it's always one of the least active. Didn't happen at all last season, 2016 was <4 weeks looking at the dates. Having any fantasy trading over actual trade period is problematic when you have the chaos of lists changing daily. Pointless doing it before Draft and if doing it afterwards it just becomes the pre-season trade period and you may as well leave it open until the new season. Which leaves now (after our GF) and September during AFL finals, before FA starts.
FA we pretty much let it all hang out, close to what @That KI Guy proposed. We tend to be reasonably active and participation isn't compulsory so those that don't wish to don't indulge.. Each to their own I guess
Ok, i'm going to leave this upcoming trade period timeline as is for the time being. Our current rules state that we have 5 defined trade periods which include a post season and a pre-PSD. The exact duration of these trade periods is not detailed in the rules, however the post season and pre-PSD trade periods are ones with most scope for timing flexibility. I will organise a discussion thread / poll over the weekend to gauge some views on the timing of these trade periods.
I'm not fussed over timing of trade periods, although I do agree that it's pointless having trading open during the actual AFL trade/FA/Draft period because of the constant list changes. That said, I assume we kick off our 1st trade period now??? Or is it already open??? Been a bit sidetracked past month with @MrsBear having the long awaited neurosurgical procedure last week and having to get ourselves organised for that (including having one surgery date cancelled). If anyone is looking to propose a trade to either myself or @MrsBear, it might pay to send me an sms after making the proposal to alert me that a proposal has been made, that way I can let the boss know if it is a proposal for her, and if it's for me then I can get on and check it out. Just making the suggestion because we have 3 trips to Adelaide in September alone for follow up appointments for the boss. If you haven't got my mobile number and think you might need it just in case then shoot through a message here before next Thursday
