2021 MSD, Trade Periods and Deadlines

Below are the MSD, trade and delisting details:

  • Trade Period Opens: Friday 14th May 0800 AWST Tuesday 11th May 2300 AWST
  • Injury Condition deadline Sunday 16th May 2300 AWST (explained in this post)
  • Delistings Deadline: Monday 17th May 1300 AWST
  • Trade Period Ends: Monday 17th May 1600 AWST
  • 2021 MSD: Monday May 17th at 7:30pm AWST
  • Post MSD Trade Period – see below

Note

  • Due to the MSD being on a Monday, the pre-MSD trade period has been extended. 
  • Delistings Deadline is a few hours earlier than the trade deadline for administrative reasons to allow the draft order to be finalised earlier.
  • Unless otherwise specified, all trades made during this trade period will be FINAL so buyer beware! e.g. if you trade on Saturday and the player you acquired does his ACL on the Sunday, you are stuck with him.
    • Having said that, I’m happy as administrator to receive conditional trades early in the trade period that become unconditional later in the trade period: e.g. Dark side trade’s player X to Mustard Pots in return for player Y, subject to neither player being listed as injured in the official online post-game AFL Match Report. That of course might affect further trading so both coaches would need to be happy with the conditional trade terms.

Delisting Process

Go to our HFFL 2021 Drafting Googlesheet

Click on column G to select it (Player Picked)

Perform Find function (Apple +F or Ctrl+F) and type the name of player you want to delist to locate

Then cut their name from their cell and paste it 2 cells over into the Delisted column (Column I). This will show they have been delisted and by them being removed from the Player Picked column it will return them to the list of available players for drafting

Then also go to thebench and go to “Squad” and click the bin icon next to your player.

Both the above steps need to be taken for your delisting to officially count.

Trading Process

After making a trade, for players who have left your squad (Outward Trades), follow the instructions above in the Delisting Process except and copy and paste the player to the “Outwards Trade” column instead.
Then submit the trade on the bench and the Administrator will approve it.

Post MSD Trade Period

Last year we extended the Post MSD trade period by 1 week and it worked well so this year, by administrative decree, the Post MSD trade period will be extended by a further week.

So the Post MSD Trade Period will

  • Start as soon as the MSD ends
  • End at the beginning of Round 12.

If there are any objections to this administrative decision please advise.
