Supercoach DRAFT 2017 - Discussion thread

[Seymour Skinner]

Draft in a nutshell. Wouldn't even worry about trades. Too easy to swoop on free agency to tidy team.

Spot on, and no one wants to be in the dodgy end of a trade so they just don't trade at all I've found.

Yup. Exactly. I've been in cash leagues every year since it started. Still haven't landed one trade, ever. Guys don't check enough or like you said, hard to get fair deal. So don't even bother. FA swooping for the win!

I've done it every year with the same group of blokes (1 or 2 changes throughout the years) since draft started.
There's fewer trades every year. Last year I was only part of 2 trades, and they were both before round 4.
After that people just pick apart the wavier from week to week.
I tried my hardest to trade Hall away in the first few weeks when he was averaging 120 odd, the best offer I got was Mundy who was averaging stuff all at the time.

Yup, sounds all too familiar. That's it. Pick apart waiver. Got me the win last year. Gotta be quick!

Our cash league every year is the complete opposite, millions of trades and trade proposals.

Cash league?

 

[TRAWP]

Cash league?

Private cash league, same guys every year. $50 entry etc.

Weird. Don't know how to get the trade juices flowing. Guys just seem to back selves in via FA if required.

I think it comes down to the people, I play NBA and AFL Draft with a few off them each year. They love trading, it really spices up the league as well. Other leagues I know of are more tame with their trading, but still never no existent.

Guess the urge stems from the NBA trading.

I'd say so, NBA Draft being so long and so many more elements you really have to trade. You have no choice.
AFL as its only every weekend, it may lessen the requirement. But trades do spice of the league, especially if you can trade for a top talent and give away some lesser talent and then get lucky in the free agent pool.

As mentioned though, the common problem seems to be is that nobody wants the short end of the stick.

NBA / Boogie style.

Yep, hence most trades work into 3-3 trades etc. The guy who won ours last year did around 8 trades for the year in total. In comparision the people who traded the least seemed to all be in the bottom half of the ladder. #RiskAndReward

Sorry fellas but I'm out too. Just entered another big cashie so my focus will be elsewhere.

I usually grab a captain option first up. One of Fyfe/Selwood/JPK/Hanners will be available, I'd jump on.

Any draft that has captains active is ridiculous imo

 

[NSWCROW]

Pumped for sunday night.

Not so pumped seeing myself slip from pick 2 to pick 7 though ffs

 

[Huttabito]

Depends how many people in the draft.

But yes, I'm in a draft of 14 and that's equivalent to pick #1 getting Dangerfield @ 131 for the season to captain and #14 getting Zorko @ 109.

Probably a little diverse for my liking but it is what it is.

IMO unless there are 4 people in the draft it is a really dumb rule to have. Every season there are a few bolters and if you dont have one of them your season is over (if you use captains). you shouldnt be rubbed out of the league for missing one of the top 3/4 players

I have pick 11 in a 12 man draft, after losing the GF last year. Thinking of taking Selwood/Treloar. Thoughts?

Here's how I think the first round will go:

Danger (132)
Gawn (119)
Fyfe (106*)
Pendelbury (119)
JPK (113)
Rockliff (111)
Hannebury (113)
Ablett (115)
H.Shaw (106)
Goldstein (108)
Treloar (111)
Docherty (109)
