I have Toby Nankervis on the table (ruckman averaging 100+) on the table for anyone that is interested in a ruck. Has sole ruck dibs at Richmond.
Also have Taylor Adams (F/C) averaging near 70.

If anyone wants Caleb Mitchell or Nat Fyfe, offer me a pick.
I wonāt be around on Sunday.
Iām happy to hang on to my keepers and excess picks and sort stuff out during the draft.
Unless there is a very late change of heart, these guys arenāt making my keepers so all you need to do is choose any old crappy draft pick and post it in the confirmed trade thread and heās yours:
- Luke Pedlar. I rate him highly and he is a DTer, but Iām not sure he gets much of a look in given the players Adelaide have traded for and drafted.
- Deven Robertson. He is a forward mid. Poor guy was a magnet at junior level, but has been lost in the Brisbane shuffle his whole career.
- Hugo Ralphsmith. Is a mid but Iām expecting that to change through the year. Had his breakout early last year but tailed off in the second half. Should get a greater opportunity to score at Richmond.
- Brad Close. Tailed off last season after a strong start. Might return back to being a 70s scorer, may not.
- Mason Cox. Heās a forward / ruck. There arenāt that many rucks, so if you need one, just offer anything.
- Jack Darling. Well past his used by date. But may get back to high 60s at North. He seemed to have a spell in the ruck too so he might be a decent pickup.
- Lachlan McNeil. Average at best.
- Tom McCartin. I considered him a career scrubber, but he was okay this weekend. Itās most likely a false dawn, but heās already the coaches favourite.
Darling with 89 today

Heās a North Melbourne player.
Too many Ben Jacobs false dawn vibes about him.

How high can I get packaging picks 51, 56, 74, 92?
May consider Quaynor for a first who almost tonned up as a back.
Iād consider Ainsworth on the table if I can get back into the first.
Jordan Boyd potentially available.
Aliir Aliir is available. As is Darcy Tucker and perhaps even Mr Evergreen, Travis Boak. I after another ttop 10 pick so hopefully these pieces and swaps if necessary get me that I am happy.

Iām looking to trade into the second round of the draft.
Iād be willing to trade some of my current picks to grab a pick.
Iād also be willing to trade Wayne Milera or Cooper Lord if you have any interest in them.
If youāre interested, PM me.
Otherwise Iāll PM you with offers.
Editā¦
Something like a 4th round pick + a later pick for a 2nd round pick. May even add a player or extra pick into the trade.
Yep.
Fixed.

Iād consider trading down from 30 but I wouldnāt want to drop too far and itād obviously have to be worthwhile from the incentive viewpoint. And based on rules set out by Blummers itād have to be organized before pick 18 is taken.
Getting in early on future rounds.
Iād be interested in trading into the 3rd round if anyone is comfortable shifting down.
Iād prefer to trade anything from round 6 onwards.
If thatās not of interest, then Iād be willing to include a round 4 pick in the trade.
Also willing to include Wayne Milera or Cooper Lord into the trade if youāre interested.
PM me if youāre interested.
For those that Iāve already had some trade discussions with, Iāll offer something.
Will sort it out this sometime later tonight.
Waitā¦didnāt trade period end?I thought we could only trade picks now? So we can still include players?

Apparently, yes. The new platform allows a lot more things. But thereās some gremlins and the app version appears to be hamstrung.

I missed the fine print too.
Yes you can still include players.
Initially you could also include future draft picks, but that got scrapped due to concerns around trading away too many picks and then leaving the competition all together. This seemed fair enough and weāll sort out rules around this during the season and see if it can come in for the next draft.
It wasnāt so much fine print. The changes were highlighted and seemingly ignored when the rules were posted .
It is what it is, but they were firstly posted in January sometime and then tweaked from then as comments were made.
I tried to push some discussion on some of them which led to the removal of future draft picks being traded which was great.
But there was very little other discussion.
So weāve dealt with it as it being realised.
It is frustrating but it is what it is.
We can āturn offā the chance to trade players in trades if we want. There havenāt been any trades made yet and itās likely the only trades made will be pick trades anyway.
Thereās also a chance that no one trades at all and uses what the picks they have and sort the other stuff out later.
Next minute ā¦

Haha.
That was timely. Hopefully I win Tattslotto this weekend.
The most frustrating thing is you canāt trade picks on the app. Only on a computer.
And requesting the desktop version of website on my mobile doesnāt work either.
Didnāt we used to vote on any rule tweaks?
Completely acknowledge I didnāt read it when it was released but probably assumed we would vote on any changes.
My fault for not paying attention.
Also my fault for having no idea whatās going on in this draft.

Iām not sure about voting on rule changes.
There was only voting on position changes by the coaches.
To be fair, there were no real rule changes though weād done everything that UF could do. Then when that went bust, we went across to that other crappy platform (I think it was TeamBench) and had to make some adjustments to suit that. I donāt recall it going to a coaches vote. Dunlop just did what he could to fill the gaps.
There was a chance for coaches to raise concerns this time around though.
Maybe instead of posting the rules in a thread and hoping coaches read it, I could have sent it via PM. Or alerted coaches another way.
It also doesnāt help that we have a trade thread and a discussion thread which makes it a bit convoluted.
I still think there would have been confusion though.
Regardless, if you can, read the last few posts in the main thread.
It looks like weāll pause everything for the time being and try and work out with the admin group a way forward. Unfortunately, the AFL Fantasy functions havenāt quite worked for us. We donāt want to keep going if weāre having problems with it. I have time tomorrow to clean things up but Iām cognisant of the time weād need to complete a draft.
