These are the new rules for 2010 season, there may be more to come if I think of them

Rookies - ALl players on rookie lists can not play unless promoted because of a long term injury, there will be a thread later where all LTI applications must be put. All promotions of rookies must be approved by myself or another respected coach.
Once your LTI player returns from injury he goes back onto list and your rookie list player can no longer play.
If you name a rookie who hasnt been promoted there will be a penalty.

Trading Rookies - If you decide to trade a rookie, the player you recieve must go onto your rookie list. If there is a 2 for 2 or 3 for 3 trade including rookie list players, you can choose which new recruit goes onto rookie list.

KPP - There will be no KPP as some teams would be severly and unfairly disadvantaged. But there will be a rule that teams need to be very realsitic.
This is an example of a realistic team

B - Aaron Joseph - Daniel Merrett - Steven Dodd
HB - Paul Duffield - Ted Richards - Brendan Whitecross
W - Josh Kennedy - Gary Ablett - Ricky Dyson
HF - David Mackay - Jonathan Brown - Beau Dowler
F - Parick Veszpremi - Jesse White - Kane Lucas
R - Aaron Sandilands - Daniel Rich - Farren Ray

If teams are not realistic there will be punishments, this rule will be strictly monitered

EMERGENCY RULES - You will now name 4 emergencies (not 3), there needs to a variety of players in there. If you need an emergency you will get the player who IMO is most like the player he is replacing. Eg - Jonathan Brown will not replace Daniel Rich as they are completly different players.

so for emergency, we name a forward, a back, a mid and then a ruck/utility or the next best?
And with LTI/Rookie List. If I bring a player up from rookie list due to a lti. Can I then later swap them for another rookie to promote? (say this year I had C Pearce and G Broughton as rookies and I upgraded Pearce, would I then later be able to drop Pearce back to rookie list and promote Broughton?)

So would that mean i have to play ottens in ruck?

I'm happy with that, very good rules, and no KPP! Even better. And with those Rookie rules I'd of done the exact same thing.

Aww. I reckon I'd have some safe KPPs. >> <<

The rookie situation will be mighty interesting (damn Melbourne taking my Daw).

Already doing a bang up job Neil

Best AFLMG runner ever

Just how it should be Neilos

* What happens if say our ruckman gets injured and our backups are out of action or something who will you replace this player with? I honestly am not a fan of this and i liked the simple way of naming emergencies from last year. I also dont get the rookie rules.

Rucks will not be as harshly adjudicated on

My main reasoning for it is last year some players (myself included), were naming players who werent going to play in the ruck/chf/chb, and then would get an emergency who doesnt play those positions.
If were going to have very realsitic teams then I think this is necissary, as I can see people expoliting it easily

Hopefully that makes sense

I'd better hope Goldstein gets regular games, then ...

I kept playing Cox in the ruck last year (who was injured) and an emergency scored for him.. I had no other options.. what if that happens again this year?

You have Simmonds, Pattison and Graham still

Worst come to worst I have 8 rucks, 6 I think will play so I'll trade a few

Teal you're not admin. Every team is required to have depth in positions. If they choose to forgoe that for depth elsewhere, bad luck. There's AMPLE time to recruit a new ruck. If you don't agree with it, easy problem, recruit a ruck!

Where did I say I was admin and any form of power? Just because I'm not admin I don't get a say in this? Idiot.

It's a stupid rule, so your supposed to recruit a ruck based on the fact you already have a good ruck but he's injured, you don't get any points? Stupid Rule.
