Trawling through the internet and found this game...Premiership Coach 2011. Seems to be an attempt at an AFL version of Football Manager.

I'm downloading it now, but wondering if anyone else has it and has thoughts?

EDIT: Wasn't sure if this belonged in here btw, mods feel free to move if you feel it is off-topic.

    The off-field structure of it is good but the actual gameplay itself is awful (though obviously some don't think so).. The only way I could play it (old and new versions) is to autosim the matches.

    Yeah, finding the match engine is total rubbish. Not even bothering, just simming the games, but the backroom stuff is great.

    Now if I could only get the Dees to win...

    Don't know why they didn't go for an option where you could just show the text overlaid on the player stats - showing the ground counts for nothing considering that it's well behind the text (which is generally impossible to follow because it skips and jumps).

    As you said the off-field stuff is great (except the trades are a bit wonky. North were very kind to offer me Daniel Wells for the lowly rated in game Stef Martin) but the game 'play' itself is awful.

    http://www.footyfanatic.net/ is ancient (came out in '07 I think and 2009 as late as you can get for lists) but considering that it's free it more than matches up if you don't want to fork out $25 for something which is badly flawed.

    Got the Dees to runner up in the 2010 version. Lost the big one by 5 goals to St Kilda. Jack Watts won the Coleman with 80 something goals.

    if we compare it to the early FM'ers, than i think it shapes up ok..

    give it time, the afl cant get the rules right in the real thing, so it will take time for a game to get all the variables in the match engine up and running

    has amazing potential though

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
