ORFFF calendar of events

as asked by @leematty1 - are we able to get the dates for 2022 (similar to the following for 2021)

9am 7/6/21 - 930pm 12/6/21 - MSD trade period
10pm 12/6/21 - MSD delist deadline
9am 14/6/21 - Mid season draft
end of draft - 9pm 22/6/21 - post draft trade period

 

@Dale Duivesteyn @James84 @Darran @Len

Do have confirmed midseason dates yet ?

 

9am 30/5/22 - 930pm 11/6/22 = MSD trade period
10pm 11/6/22 - MSD delist deadline
9am 13/6/22 - Mid season draft
end of draft - 9pm 21/6/22 post draft trade period

i have updated the OP as per @Dale Duivesteyn's post above the same days (adjusted by 364 days) as last year - 11/6 and 13/6 can be shifted forward slightly if needed to allow more time for the draft and post draft (for 2023 PSD, 2023 MSD and 2024 PSD picks)

 

Which dates are we going with?

 

I’m just confused about the two different dates being posted. @TheTassieHawk why did you propose new dates after @Dale Duivesteyn said the first ones were perfect? Shouldn’t we go with what DD decided, except simply change from 2021 to 2022?

 

@anthak - it is 1 day difference so no biggie

given the dates themselves reflect days of the week the minor adjustment was to start in the same day as last year which should mean that we end up ending the trade period the same number of days before round 15 as last season

to be fair I would have preferred clear dates being specified and didn’t feel it was my place to propose dates prior to that announcement

I was keen to clarify dates post DD’s message but understand they may need some formal ratification or adjustment (I would prefer forward rather than back given the lack of action in pre-draft trading)

@Len has liked the post a couple above and as a member/alternate that is the only indication that it has been read and/or endorsed by the powers that be

 

I think Dale is somewhat distracted atm.
@James84 has to run the draft but in my experience the days are often more important from an organisation pov than the dates so the adjustment makes sense to me.
Thanks @TheTassieHawk for stepping up.

 

Sorry I hadnt seen that Len had liked it. That is reassuring.
I just found it a bit strange that DD had said we will go with the same dates as last year, and then you modified them. But I understand your rationale. Was just looking for some confirmation, and thats there now. No worries.

 

Hey no stress, take as long as you need, and then a bit more! Congrats and blessings to your newborn

 

Hey folks,
Are any of you interested to play fantasy NBA this season? We need one more coach to fill our third league.
The draft is this coming Sunday at 7:45pm AEDT (can set up a pre-draft list if you cant make it live)
The season starts on Wednesday Oct 19th
Our fantasy season runs through until Feb 5th; or March 5th if you make the grand final. So finishes nicely in time prior to SuperCoach 2023.

we probably should be looking to lock in some dates for the 2023 ORFFF pre-season ahead of SC opening

some suggestions from myself noting our draft has taken an average of 7 days over the last 3 seasons

Option A - assuming ORFFF Round 1 commences Thursday 23 March (Carl vs Geelong = AFL Round 2)
trade period 1 opens once supercoach officially opens (usually late Jan)
trade period 1 ends 10pm Tuesday 7 March
PSD delists due 10pm Wednesday 8 March
PSD commences 10am Sunday 12 March
when PSD is completed trade period 2 re-opens
trade period 2 runs until 10pm Wednesday 22 March

Option B - assuming ORFFF Round 1 commences Thursday16 March (Rich vs Carl = AFL Round 1)
shift the above dates forward by 7 days

feel free to suggest other alternatives !!

 

My understanding is we gain an extra round (magic round) but gain another bye round (4 byes) so can’t see the need for change.
Start our season at AFL round 1.

 

Canning the ORFFF All Star game (which was forgotten in 2022 and all but forgotten otherwise) would create the "spare" week and enable a bye week to be held anytime in the season, logically round 1 or round 24 would be the neatest bye options should the board decide that way forward for season 2023.

My post above was more about getting some dates in place sometime in the next fortnight, option A is the "latest possible" (only if it is a delayed start), option B would work in either case as would an earlier (February) start to the draft if preferred.

 

I'm all for starting in week one and finishing a week early from the AFL last round.

 

Thanks TTH
Yep go with AFL round 1 kick off and finish up a week early.
