AFL RDT Round 1 discussion

If Sportsdeck actually spend a cent on marketing, they wouldn't lose everyone

But where are they going to do the marketing you speak of. AFL doesn't want to know about them nor does the Herald Sun.
I've always thought that they should be looking at SEN but I'm not sure that SEN are not interested or the other way around.

SEN has a commercial agreement with Supercoach.. The AFL/Telstra run AFL Fantasy.. Unfortunately Sportsdeck just can't compete with the big boys..I can't see the Sportsdeck platform being available to us in 2 years time...I feel sorry for the guys running it as this format is by far the best imo... Supercoach scoring system is a joke.

You only have to look at the number of coaches who no longer participate here to realise how quickly RDT may die.

I don't understand how those who grew up with RDT can switch to Fantasy so quickly and still be satisfied

Totally agree. Amazing to see so many complain about the prize money on RDT and that's why they are now playing fantasy.
What a wank!! Do they still think that way when they are positioned 23,000 out of 100,000.
Granted, DaTBird did actually win DT a few years ago but winning these comps and getting prize money is something I don't even consider.
I play DT because the format is 100% better than the other 2. In fact, I find fantasy absolutely atrocious.

Fantasy is terrible compared to RDT. I play it out of habit.

I play Fantasy out of habit as well but invest far more time into RDT.
It’s funny though and I wonder if anyone thinks the same but Fantasy feels like what you would play at school with your mates...you play RDT when you become an adult.

Gday guys, I'm not playing this year, but I'll still be around on this board

I think locking the weekly round/trade discussions like what the Supercoach board does midweek after that particular round is done will help us quickly navigate through other threads seeing they're all in the place now.

Anyways, good luck for the season
