Pre-PSD

(aka the “Roofa shenanigans”)

  • starts at Monday 24th February at 1900 AWST
  • Each coach will only have 30 min to select their pick.
  • If they don’t select a pick it will default to the “next highest available pick”.
  • They can provide prior instructions to the group re their pick choice if they want e.g. “I’ll take the lowest pick available”

Final PSD Order

This will be released by the morning of Tuesday 25th Feb. It will contain the compensation picks that you receive where you choose not retain a specific ranked retention. Compensation picks are designed to be mildly generous so if you have a player in a particular rank (e.g. Elite, 11-20, 21-30, Sub-30) that you do not expect finish this season fairly high up within the same rank or above that rank, do not retain him.


The Pre Season Draft

  • Saturday 1st March at 2000 AWST
  • The 1min rule will be strictly enforced. If you fail to take your pick, you simply move down 1 pick. i.e. the next player has their pick. After them, you then have only 10 seconds to select your delayed pick. If you fail to, you move down another pick, having 10 seconds at the end of that player’s pick to make your selection … and so on. This worked excellent the last 2 years.

Post PSD Free Drafting Period

  • This will commence immediately following the conclusion of the PSD i.e. it will. be continuous withe PSD.
