AFL now requiring players to sit out 12 days if they suffer from concussion.
AFL mandates 12 days off for players who suffer concussion (theage.com.au)
How many has he had?Big for players that get concussed lots like Zerret
I want to say 2 i know of but i think maybe 3 or 4How many has he had?

Surely they won’t try to force the carnival of footy on us again just for the “fans” this year. Players could miss 3 games for a concussion if that’s the case
He’s been good for 12 months though hasn’t he? He’s a top 3 and potentially the number 1 mid in 2021 imoI want to say 2 i know of but i think maybe 3 or 4
Definetly just don't want him to get a head knockHe’s been good for 12 months though hasn’t he? He’s a top 3 and potentially the number 1 mid in 2021 imo
Defiantly especially if they do a thursday game as well, could be disasterThe big one is that potentially with shorter turnarounds, you'd need to be really careful. A 12 full days gap could prevent someone concussed on Sunday R12 from playing on a Friday night R14 - depending on the exact wording, so you'd potentially have to carry someone missing two games...
That's a concern I hadn't thought about, I'm hoping last years disasters were a one off.
I agree. Concussions and bye rounds aside - you just pick the best team you can for round 1 IMO. Figure all the other stuff out as it comesYeah I think the concussion rule will either hit your team hard or it won’t. Luck will play a bit big part in this respect, like most seasons in some capacity. This rule just adds to the rollercoaster of fortune - or misfortune. For me, it will no doubt be misfortune lol
All the best laid plans just cannot cater for stuff like this happening!
No current season stats available
Basically rules out all Geelong players. Sucks because I was thinking of starting with Duncan.I'd be surprised if anyone played the full season': Cats set to rest in tilt for flag
Chris Scott's side will begin the campaign with 14 players aged 29 or older, forcing decisions to be made around periods of load management.
"We've put a list demographic together right now that we don't think any player should have to play all 22 (games). We'll just see how that plays out … we've got a lot of guys we want to get games into, too."

Skipper Joel Selwood expects every Geelong player to be managed throughout the season in the hunt for a premiershipwww.afl.com.au
If I read a potential strategy ...Mids & Fwd's moreso than defenders like StewartBasically rules out all Geelong players. Sucks because I was thinking of starting with Duncan.
I think he should be okayBasically rules out all Geelong players. Sucks because I was thinking of starting with Duncan.
I think he should be okay
But does mean rookies like Stephens Clark get gigs
Nope just hope there is a decent 5 gamesYeah, but can you rely on them to play ??

Depends we need a Simpson again will also depend on injuriesProbably not a risk I’m prepared to take....
Laird would be better. No way Lloyd goes higher than he does last year, especially if the Swans are to improve as a team which they likely will.I want Lloyd so bad, and have managed to fit him in, but at the expense of Laird who I think is a great pick as well. Who’s the better pick? Was sh*t not having Lloyd at all last year, but Laird playing midfield is good value
I do agree that he’s maxed out average wise, but he was just about the best scorer in the game from those last 8-10 games last seasonLaird would be better. No way Lloyd goes higher than he does last year, especially if the Swans are to improve as a team which they likely will.
but only for 1 weekI think he should be okay

Why not both?I want Lloyd so bad, and have managed to fit him in, but at the expense of Laird who I think is a great pick as well. Who’s the better pick? Was sh*t not having Lloyd at all last year, but Laird playing midfield is good value
I have Whitfield locked. Can only take 1 of Laird/LloydWhy not both?
Im just wary of him missing games and the odd terrible scoreI have Whitfield locked. Can only take 1 of Laird/Lloyd
