***ANNOUNCEMENT***

After consultation with all members of the site, admin have decided the best way forward for AFFL is to reduce it to 16 teams. As such the Richmond and Hawthorn lists/picks will be placed into a pool and will be distributed via way of a one-off draft. Gold Coast and GWS will then take their perspective lists to Hawthorn and Richmond.

The draft order will be "reverse value order". Obviously, "value" is relative, so in order to determine the value order, admin ask you all shortly via PM to give your value order of all AFFL lists (excluding your own).

Once all lists have been received, admin will add the results (e.g. most valuable team each coach nominates gets 1 point, second 2 etc). The team with the most amount of points, is actually the least valuable and will receive pick 1. This will carry on down the line as per ND rules.

We hope to commence the draft next weekend if all coaches can respond in time.

***Normal draft order rules will apply for the ND/PSD/Rookie Drafts (Although admin are discussing moving to a lottery system, as per the NBA rules from 2017 onwards. If you have any strong opinions either way on this, please feel free to contact one of your friendly administrators).***

Did both outgoing coaches agree to this, or were they forcibly removed?

Great news, still would've liked to see a lottery for this draft though. Could be fun.

Removed.

Both have received private PMs, giving quite detailed reasons why they missed out on a coaching gig in the new 16 team format and what they need to improve on to be reinstated as a coach in the future.

I'll leave it up to them if they want to make those reasons public.

A tough decision but the right one.

Now for fucks sake gentleman, lets not get complacent. Get your bloody lists in pronto. Better still, start some trade talks!
Unfinished business.

I forgot to mention in the OP, please take into consideration a team's picks when submitting your value order.

Will the draft order be reversed too? Ie pick 3 in round 1 is pick 30 in round 2 etc.

Picks are absolutely worthless, hardly worth taking into account. Let's just forget about them.

Feel for RC, not sure he would've been my pick to lose his spot, but this will be good for the site as a whole. Still think the time to do it should've been when D2C pulled out, but better late than never.

Thankyou for your unbiased contribution ;)

I would like to put forward a few of my own ideas of how the draft order should be determined:

1. 2016 ladder position
2. AFFL join date
3. Alphabetical order, starting with the letter E

Have to agree, have made a few more trades the last 6 months but still need to increase that a lot as shown with the trade ladders.

Could St Kilda change their name to Richmond?

I'm very opposed to any form of list/name swapping outside of the culls. Leave each team's history where it is.

I'm guessing Spud goes back to Richmond considering he was their coach last year anyway, and you get Hawthorn?
