Retentions
- Retentions are due by Tuesday 5th March at 12 noon AWST
- Enter your Retentions into the 2024 Drafts sheet. You will obviously need to sign in with your google account to edit.
- Highly recommend you enter a set now that is your best guess and then edit it closer to the deadline when you’ve had more time to look at your stats
- Note the 2023 Squads and Stats are available on the main HFFL homepage
Pre-PSD
(aka the Roofa initiated shenanigan)
- starts at Tuesday 5th March at 1900 AWST
- This year, each coach will only have 30 min to select their pick this year.
- 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 morning of Thursday 7th March. 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 9th March at 2000 AWST
- Like last year 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 you 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 last year and was only actually applied once as coaches were prompt.
Post PSD Free Drafting Period
- This will commence at 0800 AWST the next morning after the PSD concludes and finish at 9am on Wednesday 13th
