Not really what I meant by a free agents list, probably should have explained it better.

All I mean is a list of leftover players who just sit there without a club and are then be added to the draft pool (PSD?) the next season.

Pretty much what happens in the other games I play, but again not too fussed by it but worth bringing up.

I get ya. Either option works for me. May just be tidier to have everyone on a list.

I don't understand what you're saying, so it's highly likely you've misinterpreted what I said.

What do you think I've meant?  :unsure:

um yeah, I'm confused :lol:

Surely there must be enough AFL senior listed players to fill all senior lists in this game.
It's seeming like now there will be 8 AFLPL teams with rookies on their senior lists and I don't understand why if there are enough senior players available through the ND.

I thought you wanted rookies to only be available as rookies?

It's got nothing to do with having enough senior listed players.

Right.....

At the end of the All-in and National drafts, there will be 8 clubs with 1 more player each than the other 8 clubs.

My plan was to give those 8 clubs that DIDN'T get that extra player, an extra pick at the end of the rookie draft, and then perhaps allowing those clubs to elevate a rookie to the senior list so ALL clubs start off with the same amount of Senior listed guys.

Yeah, we're basically going to have every single AFL listed player on an AFLPL list.

I thought I remembered us setting a maximum for senior list size (can't be bothered checking as I'm happy either way) and thought there should be enough senior players to fill our lists without having to use rookies.

You'll have to forgive me for my confusion, I'm at work and we've been having christmas drinks for the past few hours :P

Just for interests sake

8 clubs will have 40 senior listed players
other 8 will have 39 senior listed players

The 8 clubs with 39 players will have 7 rookies
The 8 clubs with 40 players will have 6 rookies

There will be two leftover rookies, and going by the draft order, SWR Slappers and Geelong Lightning will have 40 senior listed players and 7 rookies.

No they're not.

The 12 hour time limit started today at 8am.

If TSM haven't taken their picks by 8pm tonight, then the Sharks may pick.

Just a reminder people that yesterday morning it was announced that a 12-hour time limit will be brought in for both the National and Rookie drafts, starting at 8 am today.

The timer will stop at Midnight each night as well.

If you haven't sent a preference list and haven't taken your pick in that time, you will be skipped and will have to take your pick when you come back online.

I won't be around between 6-9:30 tonight so if it gets to 7:46pm Vic time and P4L still hasn't picked, skip him and move ahead.

Perth Swans..........

I found this thread on BigFooty regarding Kyle Coney - http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.p...36#post13394936

It appears Coney is staying in Ireland. If you wish, you may drop Coney and pick another player.

South East Cougars will then be allowed to take their pick.
