If they added a rule that let you put players out of position at a 30% penalty to their final score, it would be better than all these zeroes.

Imagine a real AFL team fielding 21 players, but leaving a defender in the VFL because they already selected too many...

Wouldn’t mind AFL adopting the reserve system that NRL SC has. Would help resolve a lot of people’s issues.

Sub choices this round seem like extra important,
Feel free to copy and paste throwing your own thoughts in might help the collective.

So heres my guess:

Thursday
Sydney > Clarke; Bulldogs > Garcia
Tonight
Melb> Chandler/Dunstan; Bris > Robertson
Saturday
Coll > Titch; Freo > NOD
Suns > Fiorini; Saints > Clark
Carl > Hollands; Port > Burton
Gee < Touhy; Hind > Hind (Ridley out then it's Davey and Hind comes in?)
Adel > Soligo; Giants > Fahey
Sunday
North > Greenwood; Hawks >Smitch (He's my 22 player onfield if named!)
West Coast . Gaff; Tigers > Clarke

BOLD is confirmed

Really thought at the start of the year that 36 trades was overkill....
I think that is the problem most are having this year, though 36 was overkill (and it was) and did crazy sideways trades early as in why not got loads of trades. Some of the sideways trades I read earlier in the year were just nuts.

People will readjust next year because they will remember the time we are having now with a fair few rounds to go,

SC might need to go the Fantasy route with 2 trades each week.
Injuries, suspensions, restings seemed to have increased since I first started.
And to think I used to play with 20 Trades wow
Can’t imagine 20 any more but please SC don’t go down the path of 2 trades each week. Already given Fantasy away.

Back in the old days you really only traded anyone when absolutely necessary.
Also the starting squad selection was waaaay more important
