Delighted to have him on board and he should gun it at Brisbane next season. Can't see many reasons why he won't play lots in his first season.
Can't help but notice Billings' first name has been typo'd even though it's in the next post. :P

Holz said we weren't skipping anyone in the first week, and I've been busy
although, now you've been a dick about it, I might just take my time.
Two wrongs don't make a right Zip, come on man.
How has lez been a dick about it? You've been the dick about it by holding this draft at a stand still. Busy? You were online last night and this morning.
Haha, I was just about to go anyway :P
I'll take Luke Mcdonald.
Finally!
Oh and btw, there is an error in the pick numbering. Apparently we have like 4 Nat 22's.
Last night I had a throbbing headache and couldn't think enough to make a decision, and this morning ff opened automatically as a tab when I opened chrome when I was checking the weather before I left.
Holz specified we wouldn't be skipping anyone in the first week, hence why lez was being a dick. I gave you guys heads up twice that I probs wouldn't be able to pick until saturday.
Zippy took Hawka's first preference so he'll get his second pref in Marcus Bontempelli :).

Zip was fine to take his time, we have plenty of time to do this draft and i would rather people make an informed pick.
picking my man luke mcdonald was a jerk move though, should have taken that JZ + 7 option could have got two of the guys i wanted.
8 picks and the first 8 gone, yawn.
Lets hope Lahug/CF can mix it up abit.

Ok so the Bison have come to a decision for pick 9. We are going to take a guy who averaged 113 in the TAC Cup this year...
Ben Lennon
Richmond seem to have a knack at picking great players with their first round picks recently, i.e Vlastuin, Ellis, Conca, Martin. Hopefully Lennon will perform just as well :)

Yeah I agree with you but it's how we did it last year so sticking with the same format. The rookie draft will still be pretty strong.

They do, but it has always been our rules (for example, Craig Moller last year as well as GWS pre-lists such as Jed Anderson). Pool is a little shallower this year because I don't think GWS had the rights to the pre-lists. It is pretty much just international rookies and rookies from other sport codes.
ahk, that makes sense.
I was just confused, soz :P

nah, hogan/ martin aren't worth even a top 50 rookie pick. Overrated.
3 more picks and the AXV draft is finished ............ enough said
Haha I understand that Hawka might have had a big night but if he's not up and about yet I would have some serious concerns about his health :-\ This, or he might have seen Everton throw-away a Merseyside Derby win and would therefore be cutting right now aha :(

Difference with work is that (for people with your standard 9-5, mon-fri jobs), you've probs already done research/ looked into players and can make a pick in a manner of minutes... while at finals for a student, we don't have the time (generally speaking), to research, and subsequently can't make a pick as quickly.
That being said, I think most students should be done by around now...

Violins anyone?
I work and study I think you can find the time if you want. We have a long time guys I would rather the draft take a while than we rush through it in a week than have nothing to do till we wait for Dpp announcements to start the new trade period.
Also gives you guys some more time to put some research in. You all need to lift your game, letting Dixon and Douglas slip to me last year ;)

Disagree. Drafts shouldnt take anymore than a week...at this stage we will finish this draft by round 4 next year. Moving way too slow, needs a cap whether it be 24 hours , and just make it if you miss your pick you get the highest picked player left. I have spent the last two days checking this page to see if its our pick yet and we are still probably a day or two away. Gets pretty frusturating

Why do we have to wait for DPP listings for the next trade period? I thought it re-opened straight after this draft finishes. That's like 3 weeks away haha.

haha, I'm not trying to make it out like we have it ridiculously hard, because we don't for the large majority of the year.
But for most students, come finals and there's literally no time to do anything, you just buckle down and cram like flower. I worked full time in my gap year, and it was hard, but when it came down to it, if I needed to do fantasy football stuff I could just stay up an hour or two later and do some research, and be a bit tired the next day. When you're cramming for exams, you can't take that loss of sleep, that two hours will probs mean that nothing you look at the next day will stick in your head, which means another day wasted and a day you fall further behind your cohort.
I don't have the experience of having a young family, and I can see how that would make things harder, but I'm still maintaining my point- at finals you don't have the memory to waste on fantasy football.
46-48 weeks a year, uni life has nothing on real life. That 4-6 weeks of exams though is absolute hell, and it's unfortunate that the draft started at the end of that period, when everyone is absolutely flowered. In my case, this exam period was especially showerhouse because of the fires immediately prior to it, as well as some family issues coinciding, I was already a week behind on my work/ assessments.
That being said, most people should be done now, and have had time to catch up on their research.
*edit*
It's also the fact that real life is pretty constant, while stuff like uni finals makes more sense to work around, as they're only an issue for a small time period.

I work and study I think you can find the time if you want. We have a long time guys I would rather the draft take a while than we rush through it in a week than have nothing to do till we wait for Dpp announcements to start the new trade period.
Also gives you guys some more time to put some research in. You all need to lift your game, letting Dixon and Douglas slip to me last year ;)
Disagree. Drafts shouldnt take anymore than a week...at this stage we will finish this draft by round 4 next year. Moving way too slow, needs a cap whether it be 24 hours , and just make it if you miss your pick you get the highest picked player left. I have spent the last two days checking this page to see if its our pick yet and we are still probably a day or two away. Gets pretty frusturating
I don't think holz anticipated it would be moving quite this slow to be fair. That being said, it was explicitly stated there would be no penalties in the first week, and I think it would be a unfair to instigate some now.

Why do we have to wait for DPP listings for the next trade period? I thought it re-opened straight after this draft finishes. That's like 3 weeks away haha.
Because teams needs can change a lot and that's why I made it do you coukdnt use all tour trades in period 1. For example in my team I have about 4 guys who could be d/m or m what they get will affect my trading and rookie picks.
I can play you guys the world's smallest violin?
I don't mind taking time to draft, mainly because I lack picks and haven't done any research >:D.

Not just students here... working week starts tomorrow
I'm actually finished for the semester anyway :P
Difference with work is that (for people with your standard 9-5, mon-fri jobs), you've probs already done research/ looked into players and can make a pick in a manner of minutes... while at finals for a student, we don't have the time (generally speaking), to research, and subsequently can't make a pick as quickly.
That being said, I think most students should be done by around now...
Time for a reality check. People with young families and fulltime work committments do not have much spare time ever mate. You will find this out soon enough ;)

What a load of rubbish, what's unfair is what's been happening.........There are actually rules in place, but it's been arbitrarily decided to ignore them
Having no penalties is almost asking people to take all the time in the world to pick. :-X

We established before the draft was starting that a large portion of our coaches would be relatively unavailable immediately, hence why holz established that penalities weren't going to be instigated.
Quote from: Holzman on November 21, 2013, 06:08:44 PM
I'm going to be a lienent in the time you have to make picks. There will be nobody skipped in the first week. I trust people wont intentionally take a long time picking. So if you need your time to research its fair enough and you can have it, just say your need time. If someone is blantatnly taking their time they will be skipped.
The early drafting is because those who want to draft can do it early. Lets us have as much time to draft as we need.
If anyone had disagreed with this when holz said it, then fair enough that you would be irate now. But nobody opposed it, which indicates acquiescence. There isn't any real rush to finish this draft, considering our next tradinign period doesn't start until dpp is released anyway.
He did say if someone was 'blatantly taking their time, they will be skipped'. For instance, if I hadn't taken my pick 7 when I did, and instead decided to be a dick about it, it would have been perfectly reasonable to skip me. If Hawka had been online several times in the past day, it would be fair enough to skip him... but he hasn't. It's only just gone over the 24 hour mark we normally use anyway.
If you guys want to message me a list of players that you want to draft since I'm just at home studying so i should be on most of the day just to get the draft moving a bit faster.
I think the issue is that everybody's ready to go as soon as hawka picks :P

annoyingly the guy i wanted to last to pick 12 did. I know two people who will be happy that i gave it up.
Ok well the Bison are ready with their pick once Scrads takes his :)
Same with us we have a.list of 5 names for our pick
I have no idea who I'm selecting with my pick ;D.
I'm just going to post in here so it appears in my new replies because I keep spending too long finding the thread. But yeah, as CF said, we're ready :)

yeah, I was tossing up over him and mcdonald at 7.
still 15 picks to go till serbia gets there first pick.
so it was Sheed Hogan Swallow for Martin.
it was a high price to pay, but hopefully it gets me the flag.
Very happy this guy has slipped through the last few picks.
Bashers will take Matt Crouch
Massive steal at pick 14, have no idea how he lasted to 23 at the Crows. Brenton Sanderson told the crows players he would throw a party if Matt was still available at pick 23 and now he has to stick to his word ;)
Averaged 37 disposals this year, 25 last year, the best inside midfielder in the draft...Ollie Wines was a huge pickup last year and went at 7 to Port, Crouch is Ollie Wines x 10
#creamedjocks #moist #bashers2013
the reason why he slipped is because you dont get points for playing in the SANFL. I think he is possibly the best DTer in the draft but not sure on his JS. Very similar to mitch grigg.
round 1 over, back to Hawka for the priortiy pick round.

haha, I'd hoped crouch might have been available for my pick 24 :P
Honestly, I wouldn't have gone him with a top 20 pick... I heard his speed was worryingly slow, which didn't affect him at TAC, but his numbers were significantly lower in U18s against better opposition. That's why he slipped to the crows pick- it doesn't matter how good you are at getting possessions in B-grade, if you're too slow at AFL level you're not going to be getting much.

So the 'best inside midfielder in the draft' will be playing an outside mid role at the crows? ::)

I haven't seen him play but from all reports he is a contested ball winner. So he gets to stoppages and wins the ball in close. Speed would help but its not as essential as for outside players.
Anyway, we'll see how he goes. Don't exactly need him to play for a couple of years with our young midfield anyway

I'm just saying, we've seen accumulators like tom couch, cameron richardson just really struggle at afl level.
14th isn't too high to take him, like I wouldn't say you've jumped the gun. But I don't really think it's a massive steal, and nothing to be creaming your pants over :P

Great get Rico. I reckon Crouch will be a ripper in a couple of years time. Prob wont see much action till 2015 but will be well worth the wait.
Crows will work on his disposal and tank in 2014. One thing is for sure, he knows how to find it!

Dane Swan is slow, Joel Selwood admits to being slow...he is a contested ball winner at stoppages, doesnt need to be particularly quick
I dont know why you think he will take a few years to play
- He was named in the best for every single game.
- Averaged 37 touches a game
- Missed a bit of action in the 18s champs due to a broken hand but came out and collected 27 touches.
Mr. Craig "Crouch's status as a ball magnet will hopefully see him fast-tracked towards an AFL debut"
Brenton Sanderson "A week before last night's AFL national draft the Crows coach said he would throw a party if Victorian midfield ball magnet Matt Crouch was still available at Adelaide's first pick at No. 23"
Crows have lost Vince so i can see Crouch slotting straight in there. They will want to pump games into him asap as Crows are only a year or two off being a top 4 contendor. He isnt small, he is a hard inside midfielder similar to an Ollie Wines...should play 15+ games
But hey, why do I have to defend him, He is in our team now and my jocks are well and truly full of Jizz #bashers14
I actually said great get. I rate Crouch but he will take time. His fitness and disposal isnt AFL standard yet.
There is no need to defend him at all. We grabbed him in the AXV draft at 10 for the same reasons.as you guys. He knows how to get the ball and a lot of it.
Swan early days was used as an impact player off the bench. Nost and I both see a lot of similarities between Crouch and Swan.
Stoked to get our hands on Crouch. Will be a premier DTer by the time we need him to start in 4-5 years haha 8)

I thought he missed some TAC because of a broken hand, not champs? Actually, I'm pretty certain about it.
Like, he's a good player, but fact is, unless his his speed/ fitness were extremely worrying, with his contested numbers he would have gone top 5, top 10 at the worst. The fact that he slipped down so far means that it must be a pretty big issue.
To be fair though, I was exaggerating when I said I wouldnt have used a top 20 pick on him... if I'd had your pick I would have been strongly considering him.
He isn't worth jizzing over at that pick though :P If he'd lasted to mid 20s, then it would have been jizz worthy :P

the reason why he slipped is because you dont get points for playing in the SANFL. I think he is possibly the best DTer in the draft but not sure on his JS. Very similar to mitch grigg.
Hey! Watch it mate... Grigg is locked best 21 for the Crows :)
How long did that take (if it is indeed true)
The half a dozen games he played at e.o.s ;)
We'll take Blake Acres thanks.

For future reference people, I said this in the offseason thread I think, but when you take your pick, message the person with the pick after you, so we can avoid people's inboxes just being spammed :P

Massive steal at pick 14, have no idea how he lasted to 23 at the Crows. Brenton Sanderson told the crows players he would throw a party if Matt was still available at pick 23 and now he has to stick to his word ;)
Averaged 37 disposals this year, 25 last year, the best inside midfielder in the draft...Ollie Wines was a huge pickup last year and went at 7 to Port, Crouch is Ollie Wines x 10
#creamedjocks #moist #bashers2013
haha, I'd hoped crouch might have been available for my pick 24 :P
Honestly, I wouldn't have gone him with a top 20 pick... I heard his speed was worryingly slow, which didn't affect him at TAC, but his numbers were significantly lower in U18s against better opposition. That's why he slipped to the crows pick- it doesn't matter how good you are at getting possessions in B-grade, if you're too slow at AFL level you're not going to be getting much.
I haven't seen him play but from all reports he is a contested ball winner. So he gets to stoppages and wins the ball in close. Speed would help but its not as essential as for outside players.
Anyway, we'll see how he goes. Don't exactly need him to play for a couple of years with our young midfield anyway
Great get Rico. I reckon Crouch will be a ripper in a couple of years time. Prob wont see much action till 2015 but will be well worth the wait.
Crows will work on his disposal and tank in 2014. One thing is for sure, he knows how to find it!
Dane Swan is slow, Joel Selwood admits to being slow...he is a contested ball winner at stoppages, doesnt need to be particularly quick
I dont know why you think he will take a few years to play
- He was named in the best for every single game.
- Averaged 37 touches a game
- Missed a bit of action in the 18s champs due to a broken hand but came out and collected 27 touches.
Mr. Craig "Crouch's status as a ball magnet will hopefully see him fast-tracked towards an AFL debut"
Brenton Sanderson "A week before last night's AFL national draft the Crows coach said he would throw a party if Victorian midfield ball magnet Matt Crouch was still available at Adelaide's first pick at No. 23"
Crows have lost Vince so i can see Crouch slotting straight in there. They will want to pump games into him asap as Crows are only a year or two off being a top 4 contendor. He isnt small, he is a hard inside midfielder similar to an Ollie Wines...should play 15+ games
But hey, why do I have to defend him, He is in our team now and my jocks are well and truly full of Jizz #bashers14
I thought he missed some TAC because of a broken hand, not champs? Actually, I'm pretty certain about it.
Like, he's a good player, but fact is, unless his his speed/ fitness were extremely worrying, with his contested numbers he would have gone top 5, top 10 at the worst. The fact that he slipped down so far means that it must be a pretty big issue.
To be fair though, I was exaggerating when I said I wouldnt have used a top 20 pick on him... if I'd had your pick I would have been strongly considering him.
He isn't worth jizzing over at that pick though :P If he'd lasted to mid 20s, then it would have been jizz worthy :P
He went at #8 to JBs in Americas DT (same as Euros) sooo... #steal ;)
And besides, who are you to say what FARK will and wont jizz over. For all you know he might have premature ejaculation. Thats a serious issue. shower bloke mate, shower bloke.

Sweet, you can cop it from everybody instead of me >:D.
Is it our pick now?
Ok we'll as JBs said u guys took all the guys we wanted just then. So we are going for the guy who could be the most handy for us in Michael Apeness.
His fwd/ruc status should be very handy and he can make an immediate impact at Freo given their need for tall sand ageing talls. Will play in tandem with Sandi or Griffin (in the future) when ready and free up Clarke to be used in another position.

nice pick mate, the kid has talent
OK we really need some fwds so we'll take this guy. Mature aged fwd/mid, who has kicked bags of goals in the SANFL.
Nathan Gordon
Scrads picks Zachary Merrett
Unfortunately the two blokes we had our eye on were Merrett and Taylor. Now they're gone, and considering the relative lack of depth DT wise in this draft, we're going to go pretty left field with pick 24.
Mitch Honeychurch
Not only does he have one of the top 3 names in this draft, he's a bit of a dt machine. Averages 103 in U18s and 94.5 in TAC, he's a contested ball machine
averaged 25 possessions in U18s, 11.5 of which were contested, the 4th highest out of those who played more than 4 games of U18. He also averaged 4 clearances a game, 5 tackles and more than a goal a game.
Unless he tested very poorly in the draft combine, the only reason I can see him slipping so far in the draft is his size.
Speculative pick, but I'll back him in.
Go Honey-bunny!
I haven't really consulted Bunny on this one, but I sent him a PM telling him to trust in my drafting skills. :P
Might as well exercise my powers as an assistant at the Iceland Polar Bears and select Jarman Impey.
Our midfield is pretty good and has nice depth, but our defenders and forwards could use some bolstering.
Impey, who not only has an awesome name, played forward and midfield in his junior career and looks to be used as running defender by Port... Hopefully that means he gets given DPP (fingers crossed).

Yeah, when I first saw his stats I was so confused until I saw how little he was. Fingers crossed he can crack into the dogs side.
I would have liked Honeychurch and he almost slipped :(. Although Impey looks like a good option, cheers Nigey 8). Nigey shall be handling the Nat drafting for Iceland as we trust him to do his job ;).

Small forwards that push into the midfield. Motlop a lot younger and without the fitness base to play as much in the middle as Stokes atm. Pretty similar really.

Matthew Fuller.
cow
Are you saying that cause fuller's a cow or because I took your selection?
We were considering him but we weren't going to pick him unless he was there at our pick 40.
Knight and Crouch, two elite ball winners. Averaged 72 touches a game combined...so happy with these guys

I actually never had a say in Iceland's draft pick though LOL. I was sleeping when it was taken so Nigey took it to keep the draft moving... Mentioned Honeychurch and Knight to Nigey in a PM before I slept the night before.

Even if he has been told, he's usually a little slow. Give him time. I did notify him of his BXVs pick earlier.
Yep, I messaged him after I picked.
Jake Kolodjashnij
Rory Lobb
So, lez is up then spink?
Cameron McCarthy
Darcy Gardiner
Going to go speculative again (and now really grateful I didn't trade this pick like I nearly did several times) and with pick 38 I'm going to take 97. Jake Barrett.
2nd in the beep test, =9th in the 20m sprint. NSW zone selection for gws, averaged 96.2 ppg in U18s and 110ppg in TAC. Averaged 6 tackles a game along with 8 contested possessions, so pretty solid.
We were thinking about him next, nice pick.
Averaged about 90 in Neafl as well as a 17 year old, so pretty happy with him.
90 in the NEAFL = 20 at AFL level ;) But he looks a good prospect!

So, HP is up?
Yeah he is 8)
Just got home fellas so give me some time to research and pick will be up in hopefully an hour! Putting off dinner to do this :P.
Ok, in a bold move, Iceland is going to PASS this pick. This will likely mean we can use our first 5 rookie picks once we delist some players.
Making sure we get a team list of 40 players then we rookie list 5 of our choosing? Think that's how Holz intended for it to work, but may be wrong as memory is rusty haha.
Ok so Belgium up then :)
The Bashers are following the lead of Iceland and will PASS our National Pick 40.

curious- would you guys have taken barrett if he was still available?
and once you've passed, you've passed all your remaining picks right?
Nostra is currently offline. I have messaged him here and on facebook.
I need to hear back from him as we were very undecided what to do last night. Hopefully wont be too long :)

It was very very 50:50. I am really glad you picked him so I didn't have to make the call haha.
I didn't think that was the case and don't think it should be but if it is, no biggie. Chances are we will pass 54 as well.

You can take picks after you skip. And if you skip Nat 49.you get the pick after 49 in the rookie so essentially pick 50 rookie.
Yes you make a list of 40 guys and than pick 5 rookies from that.
Sorry for the delay.
We select Lloyd Perris.

Barret played just 4 matches in the Neafl
9 touches 3 tackles, 16 touches 7 tackles, 20 touches 6 tackles, 17 touches 0 tackles
Please tell me how that adds up to a 90 average? I call BS
We were looking at him until we saw those NEAFL stats...good pickup but he is quite a few years off any decent scoring in the AFL

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-10-20/jake-barrett
He played 7 games according to this
His stats there give him an average of 64ppg, but that's not including tackles, which he's a beast at, so I estimated he averaged somewhere between 4 and 5 a game, which would give him an average around the high 80s at minimum.
We'll PASS as well here.
im happy with everyone passing.
stoked to pick this guy up, i rate him very highly. would have taken him early but i didnt think anyone would touch him. because there isnt much info about him, just stumbled upon some stuff last year.
going for a New Zealander.
Kurt Heatherly
defender who can play tall (192cm) but he came second in the 20m sprint so has some serious pace. Has a nice 50m+ kick so and has been menotred by brian lake, so lets hope he can follow in his footsteps in a few years when eski, adcock, shaw, simpson are gone.
I don't know how many picks that I'm meant to take so I'm just going to keep picking lol.
Ok the Bison will take Sean Lemmens. Rebounding defender who averaged 74 in 11 matches in the SANFL reserves. Probably won't get a game for a while, but could be a decent prospect :)

Yeah not sure. Maybe because he has got a really small frame at the moment, but should bulk up over time...
From SC Paige
Player X is a strong rebounding defender, getting into the best positions, reading the play beautifully and showing off a good burst of speed to break the lines and create from defence. Player X also has a weapon of a boot, and has a long raking boot, a lot in the shape of a Matthew Suckling type, where he is precise from all distances. He showed in patches that he could push forward to a wing, and managed to kick a goal in both of hi his games.
Why is this kid still available all the way out at my pick?
Metal select Tom Cutler.
Though kinda wish I could talk to vinny first, not 100% sold he should be our 1st option on a needs basis...
Will have to speak to vinny if nobody picks before he's online next :o
That said, we might trade you if you draft the other kid I want.

still worth a pick this late.

one to go and the draft is finished.
hawka can take his pick/skip whenever.
sorry il pass, another weekend without a computer :(
I'm a bit confused, what do we gain if we pass here?
I'm confused. We haven't delisted yet or anything so what about list sizes etc. ? Do I still get to take all my rookie picks if I pick a player here?

If you pass, you get the pick directly after pick 59 in the rookie draft (which you may or may not use, depending on your delistings).
Is there a list of the rookies available? I had a quick look but couldn't find one. I had one last year, but not this year.
Also how many picks are there in the rookie draft? I couldn't see a list of rookie picks? Might as well take the pick if my passed pick is just going to end up being last rookie pick I guess.

Yes I will quickly find the link for you. Everyone will keep picking in the rookie draft until their squad is at 40.

National Draft Rules:
1. Squad numbers must not exceed 40 at any time. Squads must be reduced by delisting in order to use picks in the draft. If a team reaches it's capacity it will have to pass it's pick in the draft.
2. Only players selected in the AFL National draft are eligible to be taken in the EXV National Draft
3. Picks must be taken within 24 hours of the previous pick, otherwise the pick will be skipped, and can be taken at the skipped coach's next available opportunity.
4. It is not compulsory to PM the next coach to pick, although it is desired.
And on the thread last edited near end of November Vatican Valkyries team list is 43 players long. Clearly they have exceeded max players allowed and then continued on to take 4 draft picks.
This is the first team I looked at but looking at their team list on the thread they theoretically have 47 players and therefore have taken 4 picks they're not allowed to?
we havent had delisting yet, its the same as last year zip will be forced to delist 3 players, he needs to delist 4 or more to get picks.
even if he had rookie pick 1, if he only delisted 3 players than he cant use his rookie 1 pick.
so if you skip now you get the pick after 59. It also means it wont count in your senior list.
so if you had 42 players and picked a guy now. You would have to delist 3 players minimum if you skip now than you only have to delist 2 minimum.
I don't actually think that means that our lists couldn't be that large at anytime. Basically after the Rookie draft you must have 40. Which means Zip will have to delist 7 players at least (which would mean all his rookie picks are skipped). If he delists 8 then he gets his first rookie pick and skips all the rest. If he delists 9 then he gets his first 2 rookie picks and skips all the rest etc etc.

the list is 40 not 35.
so he only needs to delist 3 not 8. will need to delist 4 to be down to 39 before he gets a pick.

Holz his list size is 47 atm, it was 43 but he drafted 4 players in the Nat draft. (So min of 7 delistings, 8 for first pick etc).
I think I get it, but I'm not certain
Let's face it, rookie 59 or nat draft 59 are both going to be largely irrelevant to a team trying to win a premiership. I'll just try and add some future potential as this kid won't be a big player for a few years imo.
George Hewett, has great numbers in the juniours.

It confuses me though Scrads. It clearly states "NATIONAL DRAFT" and then a line states explicitly
1. Squad numbers must not exceed 40 at any time. Squads must be reduced by delisting in order to use picks in the draft. If a team reaches it's capacity it will have to pass it's pick in the draft.
There's another banner for the rookie draft, so this is clearly in regards to the National draft.

He has 47 on his list though... so he'd need to delist more than 4?

so if you had 42 players and picked a guy now. You would have to delist 3 players minimum if you skip now than you only have to delist 2 minimum.
Holz his list size is 47 atm, it was 43 but he drafted 4 players in the Nat draft. (So min of 7 delistings, 8 for first pick etc).
ok yeah than your right 7 delistings min.

I don't actually think that means that our lists couldn't be that large at anytime. Basically after the Rookie draft you must have 40. Which means Zip will have to delist 7 players at least (which would mean all his rookie picks are skipped). If he delists 8 then he gets his first rookie pick and skips all the rest. If he delists 9 then he gets his first 2 rookie picks and skips all the rest etc etc.
It confuses me though Scrads. It clearly states "NATIONAL DRAFT" and then a line states explicitly
1. Squad numbers must not exceed 40 at any time. Squads must be reduced by delisting in order to use picks in the draft. If a team reaches it's capacity it will have to pass it's pick in the draft.
There's another banner for the rookie draft, so this is clearly in regards to the National draft.
Yeah I know what you mean, but it would have been silly to force us to delist players before the AFL Nat and Rookie drafts just in case players get picked up (like Darren Jolly could have been for me). I think it might have just been a mistake (Holz to verify).

sorry didnt look too closely at that, Spinking typed that one up it should be for the rookie draft not the nat.

Cool. So Nails, having over 40 at the moment is fine. However, after the next trade and delisting period you can only go into the rookie draft with a MAX of 40 players (which will mean you can't take any rookie picks). You can go in with as few as you like, and you will keep picking until you get to 40 players (additional rounds are added for any teams not at 40 players by the end of the allocated picks).
And with that our National Draft is done :)
Bring on the official DPP changes so we can get stuck into our next trade period!
Holman still stands,
not a good player but i just want him on my list.
Haha, sweet, glad I didn't flower up in the end. I assumed our list sizes didn't have to be less than 40 until post rookie draft. Btw, surely I'm not the only one with a 40+ list atm....

Definitely not, only one team has actually made delistings at this stage.

Yeah I wasn't trying to imply that, when I was just looking at team lists yours looked huge so I counted yours and I didn't bother with any other team
Only needed 1 example to ask my question with. I'm sure most teams are 40+
well, considering only one team's done delisting, unless some teams have been seriously packaging together players, I think the majority are over the count :P
yeah, I had a couple of delistings/ retired players this year though, so all good :P
