[edit] Card lists
[edit] 2000
Never released as it was too complicated. This teamcoach had certin limits, like the use of cards for different rounds, Doubles in this game were actally very useful as the more you had of one player, the more rounds you can use that player. They came in 6 variations, making a total of 600 cards.
Some of the tests have found the markets.
The cards had corners, had the total number of game points, the average and the play rate.
[edit] 2001
The face of 2001 was Wayne Carey
2001 was the only year where some cards had to be got by packs, such as the Ingerson Siliver and Phil Matera Gold, Found in the Starter packs.

[edit] Promotion
Subway Restaurants released a promotional Subway Wildcard Series in early 2005, releasing one star from each club.
Their television advertising campaign was a rather forgettable one for Nick Riewoldt. He and a kid trading their Teamcoach cards. This was after Nick controverisially broke his arm in Round 1 of 2005 against the Brisbane Lions.
The first TV ads on Teamcoach came in 2005.
