2023 BBFFL#2 Discussion

Not a problem. Was always going to be a battle with so many topliners out.
No sign of Fyfe returning…8 weeks now and he has been listed as 4-6 and 3-5 weeks by those ■■■■■ at Freo…it will be most of the season and no chance to LTI…

Off my game this week, half the side scoring 60 or less.

Luckily for me @DonToDeath had 3 donuts on field on top of his own group of low scorers

Terrible showing by my mob this week, late withdrawals with no cover, early injuries, no tons.

Not quite sure what to do next with the list, the natural improvement I was hoping for hasn’t eventuated, I was scoring 1400s at stages last season but have been right back in the numbers this time around, even after trying to go for some more experienced players to complement the youth.

I’m already two games off 9th despite being 10th on the ladder and it will likely stretch to 3 games if I can’t beat Fog. The definition of no man’s land I think

My boys can run through brick walls at the minute. They didn’t shy away from the game of the week spotlight and we are borderline flying.

With 1254 I take my 3rd scalp for the year which is already more than last year.

6 best 18 players missing and copping the inevitable roller coaster from kids . Martin is still looking strong but NWM and Rachele showing signs of probably getting rested soon.

Congrats to @Crazy_Bomber , clearly a better side. Didn’t completely put us to the sword though, and it may have been interesting had we been able to select our preferred side.

We’re likely to get weaker as the season progresses though, so I’m not expecting to be a serious threat to the title. Some key injuries are long termers, we’ve just lost another player to a hammy and scraping an 18 together is getting tricky. Might get Acres and Selwood back, that’ll help.

0 from 3 for my free agent bids this week.

I am very unhappy with the lack of available rucks. Currently I have 4 on my list - none who are playing. My two best in Xerri and Pittonet both went down injured for a reasonable time in the same week. Unfortunately Comben is behind Coleman-Jones for games at North and Campbell was never going to play regularly unless Ryder and Marshall go down for several weeks.

Also damn you @DonToDeath for grabbing Jamieson before my priority bid. Not sure why you need 3 playing rucks when some poor coaches don’t have any!!!

Daunting playing @Crazy_Bomber

With so many key outs plus Ziebell & Anderson barely firing a shot at present will need some of my team to pull out monster scores.

Gawn, Oliver & Langdon going biggggg vs West Coast hopefully.

Love it to be a contest but it’s wishful thinking

Glad to see Poulter get picked for a game, nice to be able to use my utility slot on a mid rather than mediocre forward or back.

Not too far off getting close to a best side on the park, need Salem and McStay back but hopefully my guys can put in a good showing this week

I’ve put in an unrestricted fa request to cover a fwd donut. Will you process that manually?

If UF didn’t let you pick up the player then they are a restricted free agent as they would have been delisted this week. A selection of an unrestricted free agent should go straight through.

Ooooohhh……

That said UF predictor bots are kiddin’

Oh so cancel and try again

Mate talk about playing down your chances. Outside of one huge game from my boys, you’ve been scoring basically neck and neck with me all year, and I’ve just lost O’Brien, Bonner & Switkowski. Should be a good game.

Your midfield is milesss ahead of what I am rolling out at present. You even have Rowell on the bench.

Had me by 150 odd last week

Stiff to miss match of the round!
