Should be same trading rules as last season, you got to rebuild your bottom placed team. Why cant we? :P

to be fair basically the teams that traded the most are down the bottom of the ladder. 10 trades should be ample to move up their ladder if you use them wisely.

also you have the nat picks and rookie picks to use. I actually did most of my damage in my nat picks and rookie picks.

Shuey + Picks got me Barlow + Douglas + Petrie + Sandi + Dixon thats only 1 trade.

How was that one trade? I had none of those players...

Just wondering if this:

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-08-15/new-date-for-rookie-draft

Is going to make any impact on the plans for our off-season? Last year we waited a few days after the rookie draft for all the adjusted DPP players to be announced before starting our rookie draft (so they weren't announced halfway through the draft).

There is a chance that we could start and finish our Rookie draft before the DPP are all announced. Having said that, since it will now be done earlier, perhaps VS will announce all the positions earlier? Then I would gather we would wait again. The other issue is timing of trade periods. Last year as best as I can recall it went something like this:

-Grand Final 2012
-Trade Period #1
-Nat Draft
-Trade Period #2
-Rookie Draft
-Trade Period #3 (DPP)
-Pre-season 2013

Now since the AFL Nat and Rookie drafts are only 6 days apart, it leaves us with only a tiny window for trade period #2 assuming we will still have one. An alternate option is just having 2 trade periods, one before the drafts and one after both drafts.

Another thing we could do is just run our Rookie draft a few weeks after it happens in the AFL, so that it pretty much lines up how it did last year anyway.

Just a few things for you to think about Holz :) Other people might also like to put their 2 cents in.

just push the rookie draft back.
