    I'm not sure anything has been confirmed just yet......only 12 coaches out of 17 voted........and the poll closed with only 8 votes for.......that is not a majority......I reckon we need 9 votes for or against, before confirmation...

    Hey, when's the draft? It'd be helpful to pin key dates.

    Yeah, it would, wouldn't it.
    If only there was someone responsible looking after things like this.

    I'll get to it shortly, sorry.

    ok gentlemen,

    We almost-certainly need a replacement coach, so if anyone knows anyone who is keen, please make them known.

    As for fixturing, we can still have that debate for the next few weeks.

    The AFL round zero starts on Thursday 5 March, so we need to have everything in place by then.
    Working backwards, the one official week of pre-season is from Wednesday 25 Feb.
    Prior to that is the match sims, commencing Monday 16 Feb. I'm not sure we can get everything done by then (but we can try if everyone wants to...).

    It normally takes us less than two weeks to complete a PSD, so at worst we'd need to look at starting around 13 Feb.

    How does a PSD start of Friday 13 Feb sound to everyone? With a clock of 12 hours.
    Otherwise Friday 6 Feb could do the trick.
    I'm open to opinions on this one.

    The pre-season draft begins Friday the 13th.
    A cursed date for a cursed event.
    Expect panic picks, panic trades, and one coach proudly holding their pick for the full 12 hours while everyone else melts down frantically refreshing their screens
    Bad luck for some — terrible list management for others.

    Speaking of time, six hours should be sufficient between picks ........

    Agree, as long as we remove night time. But reducing pick time has been knocked back before
