Yeah, I think that we should be able to pick from the FA list before round one based in last year's ladder. I am not sure if it has always been after round 1, but I am in too many leagues to keep track of rules
yeh im with you there, cant remember this being the rule but then we didnt have extra players added like that, so i doubt there was the same interest in the round 1 waivers.Yeah, I think that we should be able to pick from the FA list before round one based in last year's ladder.

I agree, it seems a bit wrong that teams that played in Prelim and Semi Finals last season are getting a shot at SSP players ahead of teams that finished outside of the Finals altogether last season.

This is what I've been trying to say and I haven't seen a rule. I always thought it was based on last year's ladder pre round 1 then after round 1 it's the ladder

Also having a look at the 2020 and 2019 season quickly both have had a FA player picked up before the season. So I'm not understanding why we have been blocked this season?
I think this rule came about in the 2021 season due to the SSP and mid season draft both having a lot more relevance. I wasn’t part of the league then but I did check in and recall a lot of discussion about this topic and remember that flaps had some concerns when UF would just randomly add large groups of new, important players that could be taken by anyone lucky enough to notice.
Blocking picks till after round 1 is a simple way to avoid this. As for the order being set after round 1 I’ll let you guys discuss that as I have pick 1 in this mini draft and feel it suits me perfectly this season.

Yeah there was a similar issue when the first mid season players got dropped in and could be picked up without waiver order, Marilyn Pickett ect
Well ya'll can have all the good RFA im just happy im in the 8 lol

This was my assumption too. It's always been that way as far as i've been aware (across every other league I play in too)

Yeah my concern with UF adding players was that it just became a first-in best dressed approach, which was entirely unfair.
The best case to make it fair was to have all players locked between the draft finishing through til the end of round 1. Then all FA were fair game.
And later in the season if/when mid-season players get added, no one can just jump in, they go into a locked FA pool as well.

I can't remember if it's been said before, but do we have a tiebreaker for RFA after R1?
What i mean is, we've got two teams that are 2-7, two teams on 4-4, and two teams on 7-2 in For/Against. There's literally nothing seperating them.
I don't know if this is just adding too much detail, but a flip of the coin doesn't seem right/fair if we're looking at splitting hairs for R1 waivers (which can be pretty crucial).
Would everyone be ok if we added a tiebreaker of last year's finishing position as the difference just for future transperancy's sake?
Therefore:
RFA 2-3 remains the same (Doggies finished lower than Lightning in 2021).
RFA 7-8 needs to switch (Olma finished above Wombats in 2021).
RFA 12-13 needs to switch (Raiders finished above Sparrows in 2021).
Does that seem fair enough to all? Would need to be actioned before the waivers process. And from there it's all the usual RFA, right?

Best way would have been to have had it the same way the first 10 preseasons have been hehe
I honestly think the current system supports the teams that need it most.
And I support the admins smart decision to pivot due to the SSP and the increased importance on this part of list management.
Me and my 14.3% look forward to the assistance the league has provided to me in my hour of need.
Man this covid thing is already killing my team i guess this is another rebuilding year sigh, prob shouldnt have traded my depth and my first, sigh. I was sure i could field a full lineup but im copping a donut this week. Stupid WC & stupid new regime at the Pies not playing Macrae and Poulter.

The wombats getting a little screwed by the sub rule at the moment. LDU early knock out means he's under the 30% game time so goes out for the "playing" emegency in Prior (medi sub who didn't get on the ground.
Still a few players to go. But LDU's 3 handballs, 1 tackle and one FF is enough to swing some categories

This is brutal. The game is doing the right thing but really not helping you at all.
Its been a rough round for my Wombats with late outs and injuries. But we'll bounce back in true Wombat spirit.
Hes playing my Wombats so it is helping him lol. But it's not UF fault,I don't think the 3 handballs and 1 free would do it, I'm just low on players which is my own fault for trading out 4 depth players in the off season. I thought a few guys had more JS than they actually had.

The extra free would have tied a category but needed another goal as well to change the result. Was much closer than the 6-3 score suggests.
Depth is absolutely key this season and I had just enough to get me over the line

Depth is key every season.. even with good depth though you can get stretched to breaking point. I did the same over the preseason and moved Sheed on (who had done a long term injury) and thought I'd have the depth. I've just heard Merrett is out now for 8-10 weeks as well. That's 2 of my top 3 ranked players gone with long term injuries. Even with bringing in depth players liked Newcombe and Sparrow.. they're not going to account for the stats that Laird and Merrett would normally put up. Just have to hope that they're all fit and firing comes Finals.
Laird will be back this week, unless he has had a setback this past week. I thought he was due to play the weekend just gone..
Any chance we swap the lockout to first Saturday of the round rather than first match of the round. The teams arent fully out in time so you have no way of knowing if your EIC players from Sunday are gonna play or be EMG.

We're not locked out. The lockout only happens per match when the match starts now.. because COVID.
