@redbull question for you. I’m at 30/30 free agent signings for the season so can’t make anymore on UF.
6 of those were trades being processed which I wouldn’t necessarily call free agent signings.
Am I still able to sign players this week, in which case can I get you to edit my number? Or am I done for the year?
Won’t be upset if not allowed to make anymore signings, just checking. Do think it is a weird rule though.
My 2c… trades shouldn’t count as FA signings
In my humble unbiased opinion that’s a no, you are all out of selections! 
…
My team has both lost a few and gained a few
OUT: Brodie Smith (concussion) & Buddy (managed)
IN: Shuey & Blake Acres (maybe, EIC - it’s his 100th game if plays) - Fire up Blakey!
Motlop back from injury and an emergency only but at least my squad getting a bit healthier. I’ll need to make the GF for him to be of use however it seems. As per Smith, Buddy and Langford??
Also took a leap of faith on young Charlie Comben a little while ago after kicked 4 goals in a half of his first scratch match back from injury and he’s named for his debut. Finally have at least some semblance of fit and available ruck coverage. Go well young lad.
I was knocked out in prelim last year. Time go at least one better this year.
Good luck to you @The_Melkman. Sort of. Not really.
Mills didn’t get up, and that’s a real blow. Dylan Moore also getting injured is a problem too. We’ll wait for final sides tomorrow before deciding the exact lineup.
I have updated it on UF. Trades don’t count. No one has ever got close to using the 30 pick ups before.
I would have this year. I had to ration my last 5-6 spots over a couple of months I think. I should have asked about trades not counting. Kudos to Melk for actually thinking of that aspect of the FA allocation limit.
Good luck to all preliminary finalists. I think its one of the few years that I have no blood feuds with the final 4.

Yikes.
Formline def ain’t trending my way. @The_Melkman peaking for finals
Projections for this week aren’t really to be trusted
I have removed last week for the teams which didn’t play, from the charts to show a more accurate picture
Good luck lads.
I’m actually itching to get back into it next year.
Underwhelming opening from Bolton and Phillips. Hopper went ok.
Ordinary performances from my boys in today’s games
Connor Nash had back to back 90+, now rolls out a 33.
@The_Melkman also copping underwhelming from Dunkley though
I’ll need a big 100 from somewhere to win and Dunkley and Taranto were two of my better chances. Probably need McCluggage to have a great game.
Jack Steel on 73 half way through the 2nd. he’s going to win this thing for @saladin
On track to peak a week late here
McCluggage & Menegola go big for you
I’m in strife here. Way too many below par performances, 9 players 65 or less FFS
And I tossed the coin on Mihocek vs Elliott to play and hasn’t worked out
Not gonna lie Speedy, it’d be good to see you go out early, seeming as you traded me every single one of your draft picks.
If the numbers fall the way I expect today it looks very much like beating speedy in the final round will cost me a grand final birth. I did seriously consider tanking that game too but pride got in the way.
Melkman seems like biggest winner from trade period. Traded out old guns for young jets and is on brink of making Grand Final still.
I on the other hand, loaded with old blokes, traded out my early picks and went out straight sets.
