Australian Premier League XIII

Most likely a full re-draft now that it's been 5 seasons.

Good idea.
I'll request for a new logo for 'Melbourne Divided' right away.

I personally vote against the full draft, this comp is different to the others and I feel like each team deserves to keep a few of their great players. Maybe only like 2 or 3, but we should be able to keep someone.

 

[Iridium]

Personally I'd like a redraft considering every single team I control in leagues used to be someone elses and the current squad has taken us to 5 straight losses. But I can understand how people would want to keep some of their players.

You want Hilfy don't you. I would agree to keeping 1 local, 1 international, but since we've had a bit of turn over with the managers we can't just keep doing the same old releasing 3 locals and 2 internationals because the big names will still stay at the same club whilst the lesser players rotate. I quite like the idea of you guys keeping your favourite local and favourite international because that will keep the 'foundation' managers happy (hopefully) but also it will be basically the same as a full re-draft for those newer guys who want it, amongst others (Chewie, Iridium, Hedger, Varun, bcvs).

So you'll all more than likely keep your skippers and another player. So even Chewie ends up with a fairly decent start with Hodge and Gayle/Sarwan/Morgan.

@ bcvstheworld: Logos/names don't need to change, I'd prefer if they didn't.

I'm going to have a crap team then, don't really want a full re-shuffle as it will be just like working out with the team yet again what we've done in past 5 seasons.

Well only if you pick crap players. I don't see how you can just assume your team will be crap, it might get better.

In that case,Cameron White and Daniel Vettori will stay.

bcvstheworld added 2 Minutes and 28 Seconds later...

This (retaining 1 + 1) seems to be the best thing to do.
Good job Biggy.

bcvstheworld added 4 Minutes and 4 Seconds later...

But lets not have another 'total re-draft' until the completion of season 12.

Don't need to know yet lol, and also you don't HAVE to keep your skip.

 

[Sartaj]

Well,he's the best local player (along with McKay) we've got.

 

[AkshayS]

I'm less active these days as exmas are approaching in 10-15 days and then they'll go on for 10 days more. Thus I might not find enough time for a draft, that's why I said that.

Now I'm pretty confused, whom to keep, Steve Smith/Ferguson/Lee/Symonds.

 

[Sartaj]

So,the likes of Gilly,Warnie and Haydos are going to have an extended run?

For the first time we play according to the situation!
The bowlers were hell good there, Botha and Floros showed their intentions of how badly they want to get retained in the team.()
Kohli, Bopara and Floros played patient innings, and didn't give away their wickets in haste.

Great to see that we had some long after it was confirmed that we were out.

I'd not mind a full redraft, in case of retaining the players, I guess mine would be Jason Floros (the lad has been pretty good recently) and either of Sehwag or Botha (haven't decided).
Our main target for next season to grab would be the likes of Steyn, Mills, Sachin and the stars we missed earlier.

 

[BKB1991]

Hmm I wouldnt prefer a complete reshuffle for obvious reasons, I mean it took me quite some time to build this team and get certain players, so its quite disappointing to lose them. Not really a fan of this idea, but I guess if thats what everyone wants, than thats what its got to be.

Makes us more determined to end this campaign on a winning note then.

Dropping Oram turned out to be a nightmare!, the batting collpased like a house of cards. Albie tried his best to get us there... but it was too much of him. Although the bowling was superb, everyone chipping in to restrict Brisbane to a chaseable score.

About next season, can we keep 2 home and 1 international? I've built a good team over the seasons and it'll be hard enough as it is to release my players.

I would say you should keep Marsh not Floros. Floros isn't likely to be snapped up early so you can just grab him in the second or third round of the draft if you really want him.

Yea for me it'd be Hodge and Morgan that I'd keep.
