2022 MSD, Trade Periods and Deadlines

Below are the MSD, trade and delisting details:

  • Trade Period Opens: Tuesday 10th May 6pm AWST
  • Injury Condition deadline: Sunday 15th May 11pm AWST (explained in this post)
  • Delistings & Trade Deadline: Monday 16th May 4pm AWST
  • Release of MSD Draft order: likely Sunday 15th evening some time
  • 2022 MSD: Monday May 16th at 7:30pm AWST
  • Post MSD Trade Period Opens: as soon as the MSD ends
  • Post MSD Trade Period Ends: at the start of AFL Round 12

Note

  • Due to the MSD being on a Monday, the pre-MSD trade period starts early. 
  • Unless otherwise specified, all trades made before the Injury Condition deadline are conditional trades – subject to the Standard Injury Condition
  • Trades should be made in good faith and be “approximate fair value” based on value in the current season.
    • The value of players who may be retained in future seasons is not taken into account in this assessment e.g. if coaches trade a young average player (who may become a great player in the future) for an established great player in a straight swap, that would be deemed to be not approximate fair value. 
    • There is wide allowance given in the determination of approximate fair value. However trades that are clearly one-sided that appear to unreasonably advantage one team or make one team uncompetitive may be declared as “nefarious trades” and disallowed by the Administrator.

Delisting Process

Go to our HFFL 2022 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 them.

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. Don’t forget to do this for the extra dummy player (Dummy FDP picks) we drafted at the PSD to fill out our squads. Also don’t delist on the bench until AFL R9 has actually finished or your squad won’t be full and you might not be able to name a team for R9.

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


Trading Process

  • Post your trade here
  • Announce your trade on the HFFL Banter group
  • After making the trade, for players who have left your squad (Outward Trades), follow the instructions above in the Delisting Process except cut and paste the player leaving your club to the “Outwards Trade” column instead of the “Delisted” column. The Administrator will later add them into your squad as an “Inward trade”.
  • Then submit the trade on the bench and the Administrator will approve it.
