Theres a salary cap, you choose your team, which is the most labour inensive part, at the start of the year and you can change it during the year if you want, due to injuries and stuff.

Was a lot better when there was only two trade periods, IMO.

Nah, because then guess-work pre-season paid off, took less skill I reckon. Whereas with the trades, you choose the good to very good players who are great value, rather than the superstars who are completely overpriced, and you trade and get the stars in your team when they fall in value.

Speaking of Dream Team, anyone seen the Herald Sun Super Coach thing? Its pretty much exactly the same as AFL.com.au Dream Team (including the interface) however points are given on how effective a players' possession/stat is rather than just for getting a stat. Eg. no matter how crap a kick is in Dream Team, the fact that the player got a kick resulted in 3 points. However in this Super Coach, an effective kick is worth 4 points, an inneffective kick is worth 0 points and a clanger kick is worth -8 points. There are other differences too, such as contested vs. uncontested marks (which is a great change).

Obviously the problem with this is the definition of an effective and ineffective kick is subjective, and you really are unsure as to how you did during the round, particularly if you didn't see the game. Whereas in Dream Team you just add together their kicks, handballs, marks, goals etc. and you know how well you did.

That's what made it great. You had to work out who you thought would be a great pick up. I killed it that year, guessed who'd go really well. Make you search for the bargain players.

Like last year I had Goodwin from the start, then everyone else jumps on the bandwagon. That sucks.
