Hah! Bate would be a good player in any other side, so good luck to him. I haven't seen too much of Toy to make a comment, but I hear he's good.

Our VFL team only has three players Duscher, Toy and Bate not a bad start, no really good sauces for VFL news around apart from the facey group

quote Hell Fire

Breaking DT news. 2 trades per week, every week.

There goes the strategy. Noobs rejoice.

But
Rolling lockout seems to being scrapped

The changes are for both supercoach and dream team if i remember correctly. We as a group will have to make our minds dreamteam or supecoach?

Rolling lock out and 2 trades a week supercoach Hell Fire i doubt that is better that is much worse

SuperCoach still has rolling lockout and unlimited trades. You're still better off playing DT, Hell Fire.

I can't see how having 2 trades per week is going to be very fun. Every team is going to be exactly the same now. There's no skill or tactics involved here at all. I'm glad I won the league last year where there was at least some skill involved.

I know why they have done it. It's to keep the noobs interested a bit longer. The fact is, though, that if they have been getting bored in previous years it's not likely they are going to last much longer anyway. This change is also likely to drive the oldschool players, so in essence they aren't really gaining anything here at all. Stupid decision which will ruin the game imo. Some people may like it, mainly because it makes the game easier, but for I'd rather a challenge. I'll still play DT, as I love it that much, but I can't see myself having as much fun as I have in previous years.

SAY goodbye to everyone having the same team and book in your draft party - the exciting new face of SuperCoach is here.

When SuperCoach opens on February 1, players will also be able to sign up for free for the new SuperCoach Draft game using the same login - the game will run alongside traditional SuperCoach and you can have teams in both competitions, or continue to play traditional SuperCoach only.

But players who sign up for SuperCoach Draft will be able to take the game to an amazing new level.

The biggest change is that every player is selected in a unique private league draft - which means they can be selected only once; if you take Gary Ablett with pick one, no one else in your league can have him.

So much for concerns about the same players ending up in every side.

It also makes getting the right players at the start of the season crucial - check SuperFooty in coming weeks for plenty of tips on how to do that.

SuperCoach draft also brings a new level of flexibility and customisation to the game - you can set up your league to run exactly how you want it.

Users can set up leagues of six, eight, 10 or 12 teams, choose their preferred fixture and whether to play finals or head-to-head matches, or just compete for total points.

There are seven options for team squads, ranging from 12 players to 22.

A rolling lockout every weekend is optional, and so is giving double points for your captain.

And players will also have a huge say over their league draft - which can be conducted live, automatically or in users' own time based on several formats - and trading rules.

Unlike traditional SuperCoach, there are unlimited trades in SuperCoach Draft and players can orchestrate trades between each other - but other players in their league will have the option of a veto to prevent Kurt Tippett for Jesse White style shenanigans.

If all that sounds daunting, don't worry. There will be step-by-step guides on how each option works or you can just click on the "quick start" button to create a league based on a default set of rules.

Organising a draft party with your mates is a great night in - or out; a team of sports nuts with laptops is a common sight in US sports bars and restaurants at the start of fantasy season.

The game brings new challenges and a lot more fun - this is where the real bragging rights are.

SuperCoach and SuperCoach Draft are both completely free and open on February 1, and drafts can be run from February 11.

Meanwhile, a new rule has been confirmed for the classic SuperCoach game, with only your best 18 scoring players to count towards your team score during the three bye rounds.

With players from six teams unavailable each week from Rounds 11-13, the new rule levels the playing field and will help avoid having your season derailed by one disastrous round.

This sounds like it could be a good option for us, selecting as many teams as we want and selecting everything else
