Big week looming, ahead of trade deadline

With less than a week to go before the 2023 trade deadline, The Darkness’ list management team is preparing for an active trade period.

The club is said to be prepared to bear 2023 salaries, to allow a number of players to find new homes - whether chasing a flag this year, or offering their services for clubs making a tilt in 2024.

2023 finals plans are expected to be a focal point in discussions, but a number of clubs are already looking to improve their lists for 2024 and beyond.


Off the table
Nick Daicos
Jayden Short
Jai Newcombe
Will Phillips
[Rucks available, but one in, one out]



Gettable
All other players
All draft picks


The Darkness’ team are said to have the whiteboard ready to help navigate other club’s list constraints, and accommodate trade needs via player swaps, draft picks or contract structure.

@KLo30 - to minimize the risk of confusion/disappointment, could I please check what time players will lock out for the final trade deadline for the season?

It looks like we have Thursday 7:20pm (Swans hosting Bulldogs) and Friday 7:50pm (Demons hosting Lions) games to open the round.

Four players subbed for me this round - possibly a record…..?
Oh dear!

I was tracking selection for my squad earlier in the season, and had 5 players subbed either in or out, but that’s across a squad of 42+.

I suspect 4 subbed out would be a record!

M Kennedy not on field but makes it 5!

Argh - was just catching up on the day’s play, and I had assumed he was one of the 4!

The sub rule is not great for fantasy … it stunts the growth of the cash cows, and means that more cover is needed for keeper leagues!

I just want to double check before I do anything. Even though I verified my team before last night's game, can I still make changes to my team (apart from Swans and Bulldogs players) before tonight's game starts? I want to deal with the Tom Green news if I can.
No advice and I don’t want to break rules so I will just leave it as is and take the emergency score and hope for no more midfield outs.
