Power Play 2014... comes out in 9 days

[troy titans]

the cards are still visible on the website, you just need to click on 'all cards'

Like seeing some new player cards.

Same old Manly set from last 3 years.

Probably other clubs too.

Would like to see more variety in the cards .

3 sets a year is not helping!

I agree, they should use either traders or power play to give others a go

I've always thought it was funny for the AFL, that their basic 'kids' set - Champions - is all the stars, and the collectors set - Select Posh - is all nuffies.

For mine, a 18 card per team set (in-between Traders and Elite) with all the bells and whistles would suffice, along with a Powerplay / DT set for kids would be enough. Then you have your posher rep set and smaller GF winners box set.

The 18 card set would be sweet i agree. It always seems to be the same players over and over

I hate how someone like a Ben Lowe or a Dave Tyrrell always misses out. But that said, with every release I get a bit OCD and want the top players in the set - Burgess, Luke, GI, Reynolds, etc.

I actually proposed to ESP recently a Traders Update Box Set (to come out about June/July each year) which would have featured players not able to be included in the initial release of Traders (due to production timings). You could have 5-6 cards for each team of players that have just joined a team or new rookies that have make their mark.

They said that Elite is the set in which they have done this and will cover this again with new images for the teams/players and 2014 photos.

Cheers

Yeah, I've always got a bit annoyed by end of season transfers that aren't in the first set.

Anyway...

Theres an idea for a Traders low end insert Matt! have a few per team of headshots of recruits as they wouldnt have a body shot but it should be possible to do something like this:

a foil finish with Star recruit, New Signing or something clever, would be a nice addition and it can be done as player shots are released the year before right?

Those cards ruined the 2011 champs team sets but as a low end insert would look cool

just a thought

Why not just have 18 card team sets in Elite? I'd rather have them all in the same design and series anyway.

I find it rather prehistoric that there's 17 players in a side, and we still only get somewhere between 9 and 12 players in each set.

I would hugely prefer an increased team set to more endless parallels.

I like this theory for all common sets. Get rid of parallels and have an 18 card team set comprised of at the least the top 13 (maybe with the jersey number somewhere on the card), club logo with info on the back or at least as a team check list, coach, best back and best forward or similar

I do like the sig cards to eg: Young guns or something similar. Plus include a few inserts such as captains card

I think you guys are all forgetting that commons suck!

Or why don't they just bring out a new set every week , they're struggling to give you 3 quality sets a year now !!! Bring back predictors & redemption cards...

What'd it say? I got the notification I got quoted.

 

[ooneil]

Bring back predictors & redemption cards...

Why would you want redemption cards back. Its a lot easier to get it straight from the packet.
