Ok so alot of people have been asking and this is my plan for how the drafting will occur this year. Its open to change and imrpovement and any advice would be helpful but at this stage this is the plan.
Ok so first thing is that squads size will be increased this year you will have your list of 35 that you already have but you can add a rookie list of 6 players. Just an explanation of the rookie list, it will work basically like the real one and when one of your players is placed on the LTI list than you can replace them with the rookie. So for my team when Lecras went down i coudl have brought a player of my rookie list. The plan is also for a mid season upgrade so you if you have no injuries you can take a guy of your rookie list and have 5 instead of 6 and 36 in your sqaud not 35. Need to read a litle more into the rookie list rules. But i think a mid season upgrade is good as if you have a star in the sqaud it would be frustrating not being able to play them.
Now the plan is that you take your 5 (or less if you skip) picks in the national draft and for this year you will have a max of 40 players so if you want you can keep your squad as it is. However to particpate in the rookie draft where leftover afl players will be you will need less than 40 pplayers to participate in this draft. This is the time where you drop players and every player you drop will be avilable for others to poach in the rookie draft.
So lets say i take my 5 picks in the national draft I have 40 players but i want to pick up Luke Parker in the rookie draft, I delist Kane Cornes and Pick up Parker. But PB my want Cornes so he takes him in the draft.
Now this part im still not sure and thats trading. You will be able to trade picksand im thinking of capping it at a max of 10 players leaving your club. I was originally thinking of having trade period the same as the real one but that may be too short and also it seems sensible to be able to trade after the natinoal draft and before the rookie draft.
So based on that there are 3 options with the last being the one im currenty going with.
1. Just one week in trade week (dont like this but is realisitic)
2. Can trade whenever you want in the offseason
3. Trading just before the national draft and a week after and than the rookie draft happens. Than a restricted trade period for 1 week DPP comes out. So probably a limit of 4 players moved in the restricted.
With the last one you can fix up any DPP changes that cripple your team but the skill in trading will be in the unrestricted (or less restricted) trade period around the drafts.
With the trading in the draft trading round you will be able to trade 3 players for 1 if you want to but as soon as the rokoie draft occurs you must do 1 for 1 or 2 for 2 trades. This means if say I want lots of rookie draft picks i could trade 3 players and get 1 instead of delisting players.
Still working on it but this is the plan message back with things you like dont like. Or anyway way you would improve it. I will take it all into consideration.
I recon trade whenver in the off-season.
But how many traded players can you have??

The plan is a max of 10 players moving from your sqaud, like this year but with 10 instead of 6.
I like it. Only got to the 5th line until my ADD kicked in but from what I can gather it looks good!
I assume the draft order be determined by the ladder?

Made sure it was long as i wanted to try and cover as much as possible.

yeah, I agree with off season.
Looking like a very good plan so far Holz, nicely done. These are my questions at this stage:
1) Will both drafts have the same order ? Is the wooden spoon going to get effectively 2 #1 picks ?
2) will the rookie draft have a cap on how many non-rookie players we can take like last year ? That rule annoyed me to no end =P
3) are the rookie draft picks tradeable ?

watch out though the team with the best youth are looking like they will have pick 1 and 2 so we should be dominating in a few years. unless we are like melbourne and have all the youth and still suck.

True. I am kinda concerned about Zip. Has been smashed by injuries this year but has some awesome youth coming through and its likel some high picks to go with that...

thanks scrads knew i missed some things.
1. Yes the plan was the draft the same order so yes 2 number 1 picks. Not sure if this is overpowered but from what i have seen in a DT comp a number 1 pick isnt as powerful in a draft as in real life. Because its harder to find a good DT player than a good player in my opinion.
2. No rookies cap you can go anyone you want
3. rookie drafted picks are tradeable so if you dont want any and you have a high pick you will be able to get rid of it.

thats exactly why he is getting traded.
Cool!
Where do we stand on tanking? Yay or Nay?
Not that we will... Just teams could if they wanted too and thus steal all the best picks in next year SUPER DRAFT...
Another question Holz, will the rookie draft picks automatically be our rookie list or can players from the rookie draft make up leftover spots on our senior list. Also, can we use our national draft picks on our rookie list or do they have to stay on the senior list.
it's a possibility, but it'll be really obvious if teams tank, and surely a penalty would imposed...

its hard to tank in DT but if it is detected the person will be moved to last on the draft.
No one should be tanking Ele.
Only the Wolves just to make the rest of the comp close :P

You could tank! I would just play Jetta over Robinson and make Rhyce Shaw captain. Then load up on players that aren't even playing like Darrou and Symes!

yes it does seem a little overpowered, im only thinking rookies dont start scoring well for a long time in DT. So looking at it this year.
1 Wingard:has been pretty bad this year nad will take a long time to payoff if he does.
2 Coniglio: has been ok but woouldnt make many squads this year, will have to wait 2-3 years for him to be a decent starter and will he be a big scoring player?
3. Patton: hasnt played and i dont think he will be a DT player anyway
4. Omera: Not playing
5. Dom Tyson: same as wingard
6. Tom Mitchell: hasnt played
7 Longer: hasnt played many
8. Butine: 1 game
9. Docherty: no games
so you can see that a high draft pick adds very little to your team in the short run and its really hard to get a good pickup and infact some of the late picks have been really good pick ups.
14. Greene, 16 Ellis, 26 Smith
The national draft is definitely staying as it is, but im open to suggestions for the rookie draft.

Its a litttle overpowered this year with the superdraft and the rookie draft having some good players in it but i can see a few teams have alot of older players e.g. PB and at some stage alot of his players will retire and he will be down the bottom of the ladder (unless he trades) so these teams will need the picks to rebuild.
Yeah, fair point.

Hird came from pick 73, Swan from the mid-40's and Ablett around there too. There are good players late in the draft ;)
What I mean though is that you'll get the best picks each round and thus 5 better players than everyone else if you pick right.
Seeing as its a superdraft it might not be a bad idea to have two expansion clubs?

what do you mean getting 5 a year? your 1st and 2nd pick will be good but 3 4 5 are normally rubbish
Hird came from pick 73, Swan from the mid-40's and Ablett around there too. There are good players late in the draft ;)
What I mean though is that you'll get the best picks each round and thus 5 better players than everyone else if you pick right.
Swan was actually 58

Seeing as its a superdraft it might not be a bad idea to have two expansion clubs?
Yeah the new teams will be extremely light on for a few years. Do you think people will stay interested?

I think they will.
With the two expansion teams we could have something like
Each team must choose 3 players to be restricted.
The new teams get to take any un-restricted player from another club (max of 1 player taken from each team by both expansion clubs together)
Also the expansion clubs are only allowed to pick up three players like this AND from those three they are allowed no more than one from each position.
After that we determine the draft orders whereby they should get a number of early picks.
Sounds interesting MT. If that was to happen I may be interested in stepping forward as a head coach. The Luxembourg Lemurs are looking for an EXV license ;)
hahahaha thats a fantastic name CF!
Only thing i recommend is that there is a timeslot for trading, so it doesn't go on forever like this one did. ::) Whether it's 1 week or 5 weeks i don't mind, but it needs a timeslot where nothing else happens during that time. :D
Other than that i'm happy with whatever is suggested.

Whilst I'm more in favour of longer is better I tend to agree.
I propose a month... Thoughts?
Also we'd need to work out if it's WA TIME or EASTERN STATES TIME... Think there was some confusion last year.

Another question Holz, will the rookie draft picks automatically be our rookie list or can players from the rookie draft make up leftover spots on our senior list. Also, can we use our national draft picks on our rookie list or do they have to stay on the senior list.
Holz ?
Also whatlez, give Ellis a break he is doing okay for a 19 year old, he hasnt even missed a game yet, he will be hot property in years to come ;)

WA time, i was thinking around 3 weeks for the first trade period and than a week after DPP for the restricted one.

there are already plans for this, i was thinking not next year but the year after introduce one team. The reason for this was becasue we still dont have our full squads yet. What are your opinions in this I would enter 1 team in one year and another the next.
Also if a person does want to pull out there team can be taken over and the incoming coach will be able to change the name if they want

I like your idea Holz, just wanted to bring some sort of expansion idea to you incase you didn't already have one. :)
Wait, Holz, ummm, ok, i'm confused, did you.. hold on, did he just...
PM me Holz.

Yeah he's fine.
Also I was wondering if I could make my own team and take all the draft picks? Then sneakily trade them to the Wolves haha. But seriously I would really want my own team :-X

Hahah there actually are so many ridiculously good names you could make... Forces you to wonder how we have names like 'Suns' when there are option like Lemurs, Rocket and Gorrilas available.
How much more imposing does Gold Coast Gorillas sound than Gold Coast Suns??
Or Gold Coast Guerrillas :D
I still think Hawka should've gone with the Dutch Ovens.
