2024 FF Original Blummers FAs

RULES AND STUFF

WAIVERS AND FREE AGENTS

All requests should be sent by PM to @FF_Original_FAs up to 10pm the night before the first game of every round, clearly stating the requested player or players to drop and player or players to add. If a team chooses to use a waiver claim this should be clearly stated in the request.
It is the coaches responsibility to ensure that the player named is available. Please check the Player Market on thebench.
Any PM that has a time stamp of 10:01pm will be ignored and rendered invalid.

An example of the format is shown below:

Delist…
Player A
Player B

Free Agent…
Player M Geel
Player X Syd (only if Player M is not available)
Player Y Haw
Player Z Car

I will accept choices with conditions.
Just to quickly highlight some historical examples of how people have prioritised choices.

Out: Mitch Brown In: Billy Frampton or Sam Collins or Lachlan Murphy or Sam Switkowski
Out: Stephen Hill In: Lachlan Murphy, Sam Switkowski
Interpretation - Brown for any one of those players and Hill for either Murphy or Switkowski.

Out: Hayden Young
In: 1 - Chris Burgess
2 - Easton Wood
3 - Conor Stone
4 - Liam Jones

Out David Cunningham
In: 1 - Conor Stone
2 - Patrick Naish
Interpretation: Young for one of the 4, then Cunningham for Stone or Naish.

Out: Sam Simpson - In: Darcy Gardiner, Michael Hartley
Out - Jack Payne - In: Mitch McGovern, Sydney Stack
Out - Kobe Mutch - In: Sydney Stack
Interpretation: Simpson for Gardiner or Hartley, Payne for McGovern or Stack, Mutch for Stack

Please note, for the above (and some of the others), because they are specific choices, if Gardner and Hartley are gone, then you hang on to Sam Simpson. Then I slide down to the next option which will be Payne for McGovern for a given pick.

If you don’t want to go with specific players, I will also take the following for specific positions:

Out…
Joe Blow
Tim Dew
Jake Kay

In…
Jack Trew FR
John Lester R
Mark Betts CB
Tobey Brand FB
Mitch McStay FC
Andy Smith R
Lewis Brown F
Beau Young B
Dictator Dan F
Oscar Cordy FB
Matty Cox FR

  • I only want 1 forward, one ruck and one backman.

Firstly, if you are going to be specific with positions, please type the positions after the name. I don’t want to be going back and forth from AFL Fantasy to check each and every position of the players.
In this instance, it’s Blow for Trew, then Dew for Betts, then Kay for Brand.
But if a few players get taken, it could end up being, Blow for Betts, then Dew for McStay and Kay for Matty Cox.

If you really want to be careful who you drop, I’d also take:

Out…
Joe Blow (for a F)
Tim Dew (for a R)
Jake Kay (for a B)

In…
Jack Trew FR
John Lester R
Mark Betts CB
Tobey Brand FB
Mitch McStay FC
Andy Smith R
Lewis Brown F
Beau Young B
Dictator Dan F
Oscar Cordy FB
Matty Cox FR

  • I only want 1 forward, one ruck and one backman.

This way, if all forwards are taken, you still get to keep the player you nominated first.

Basically, I’d prefer lists than trying to describe what you want. More often than not, it makes more sense in a list than described.
I’ve also found that when it’s in list form, you realise it doesn’t need to be so convoluted and might be able to simplify it down.

The results of the waiver and free agency requests will be processed and published to the league by midnight that night if not earlier, with any list changes on the AFL Fantasy website to be the responsibility of each coach.

I. Free Agents

All players delisted by a side the previous week as well as all available players are deemed free agents. Free agents are available during the weekly free agency period and are processed the night before the first game of the round. These requests are processed in reverse ladder order at the end of the preceding week of games.

II. Errors - taking a player that is not eligible (on someone else’s list)

Given every choice is not thoroughly checked at the time of processing, there may be times when a player is named who isn’t on the free agent list but on someone else’s list. The pick will be forfeited. At the end of the draft, if you still have some ‘Ins’ on your list that haven’t been taken by anyone else, then that player is assigned as the replacement.
This occurred in Round 11 2021 when Neela accidentally chose Meek who was on Dunlop’s list. After everyone had taken their pick, Neela’s ins were:
Lloyd Meek
Ned Reeves
Michael Owies
Tom Williamson
Jake Aarts

The Meek pick was forfeited. Reeves was already taken. Owies was already processed as Neela’s pick. Given he still had nominated Williamson and no one else took him, he was allowed to take that player in the place of Meek.

III. Weekly Signing Deadline

For each round, players must be signed by the start of the first game of that round.

Teams that fail to do this will be automatically prevented by AFL Fantasy from naming that player for the round.

IV. Pass vs No Pick
It’s just a terminology I use to identify the difference between providing pickups and running out of selections.
Pass means that you chose not to partake in FA pickups at all.
No pick means you did partake, but you ran out of players on your list to pick up.
