How good were these! When you could trade money which could then be used to upgrade your stadium (I’m still not sure if there were any tangible benefits of having s big stadium, didn’t it give you a small advantage in weekly scoring?). Either way, let’s make AFFL great again and bring these bad boys back.

Anyway I’ve had a couple of beers, and it’s triggered a few ideas to review at the end of next season.

27/7 FREE AGENCY - Why wait til a mid year draft when the fr e agency could be going bonkers 24/7/365? Rhetorical question - there is no good reason to NOT have a 24/7 FA. Works a dream in fantasy NFL, NBA etc.

Also note how all the big gymnasiums around tdountry are now going 24/7? It’s the way of the future.


COACHES - Every AFFL club has a real life coach (who can be traded). Basically if that coach’s team wins on the weekend, you get however many sc points that the coach’s AFL team wins by. I.e if the cats wins by 23 points, whoever owns Chris Scott gets 23 SC points.
Pros - it adds strategy, and gives teams another price to trade with.
Cons - people are bitches and fear change.

Happy holidays

Also, you butchered the stadium explanation. Let me fill you all in on this genius system.

Each teach would have the same capacity stadium, and start at level 1 training facilities. Each team would also have two sponsors. So to earn money, you'd get a payment from your sponsors and revenue from your stadium capacity each week, this money would then be spent on improving your training facilities which would give you a small bonus on the end of your weekly score. Both increasing your stadium capacity, and improving your training facilities would take place on a weekly basis. So if you announced in round 1 that you were going to improve your level 1 facilities to level 3, your would get a level 2 bonus in round 2, and a level 3 bonus in round 3. There was no cap on either stadium capacity or training facility 'levels' so you could actually gain a significant advantage by doing this.

There were a few problems tho:

- If this still existed today, all AFFL games would be played in front of 950,000 people and all clubs would have level 1000 training facilities. For a level 1000 training facility, I'd expect nothing less than a state of the art cyrotherapy lab and private cloning facility.
- Despite the aspect of stadiums, the concept of home games had not been considered by AFL2007 admin and both teams received stadium bonuses for each individual game. When 13 year old Colbs brought this up with Cobba, his response was "eh fuck it" and thus the AFFL cornerstone lived on.

Pretty sure the stadium system didn't survive RLL's coup.

I thought we didn't like the waiver system because it would water down the MSD?

MSD was only a wank because we didn’t have a waiver system.

i think there is certainly merit to have a waiver system implemented.

only positives to come from it imo.

Fuck waivers. You need a quick cover for a particular week? Trade. Otherwise, wait for the mid-season draft.

Waivers are the fucking bomb in fantasy sports.

If we’re wanting “trades” - we’re already significantly losing the battle (no fault of waivers)

If we’re wanting “activity” - waivers is a great idea.

But we’re a passive bunch who fear change, so I expect the waivers to be heavily frowned upon. So not getting my hopes up.

Most fantasy sports aren't played with 16 lists of 45 and therefore have more choice available on the waiver wire than 80 or so duds/rookies who nobody's ever heard of.

I agree with Colby. If a coach needs to fill a 22 spot, I'd rather the onus was on that coach to get a trade done.

Just FYI I recently got out of a kick ass NBA sim league, 30 teams, 10 players, (you do the math how many players are left there)

... and the waiver system worked a treat.

So the point about the depth or lack there of is a bit redundant.

As I said, I would be staggered if it mounted any support, but I think they add a lot to every fantasy comp I’m in.

I think both Stoney and Schulz raises good points. Maybe we cut list sizes to increase the need for waivers and the quality of players available?
Unfinished business.
