Really stupid of me to make that comment about having 27 available a couple of weeks ago. Danger signs on the injury front since. A couple of medium term injures, 2 out with H&S protocols this week, Higgins second concussion of the season and Zac Williams looking like a 12 month snapped Achilles.
Side struggling a bit recently very much falling away from the top few on the scoring front.
Still locked in a pretty close battle with @Speedy_Gonzales but worried his big names in Gawn, Oliver and Langdon are going to fest on a rabble Eagles side and get him over the line.
Good to see Griffin Logue put up a huge 110+ score, developing well.
All benches updated
Speedy might get me here, closing at the rate at knots and all my players have utterly stopped. Ben Brown putting in a stinker when I need him the most.
1616 - that’s an ok score.
Gee, it’s really getting beyond breaking point now. Steele will miss a couple of months as well.
The 2022 cliff is approaching. We’ll be in mothballs shortly.
Bad luck to @The_Ant . Injuries hampered you, but your squad is moving in the right direction.
Two wins in a row. This wasn’t in the play book.

BBFFL#2 Ladder After Round 9
Can I please place Zac Williams on the LTI list @saladin ?
He underwent scans on Monday afternoon which confirmed a high-grade calf strain, that will sideline Williams for the next 10-12 weeks.
Fortunately not another achilles issue, which is something I guess.
Wasn’t to be.
Dees players kicked back/wasn’t as many stoppages I assume and Gawn and Oliver were well below par
Might have got you if Gunston wasn’t subbed out at quarter time on 26. Did his ankle literally on the siren. And I was 50/50 on him playing vs Anderson (72) also.
Bad luck mate, I thought you had me for a bit, unlucky that Gunston got hurt early on, he was more than capable of the 50 more points needed.
As for my boys liked what I’m seeing from Bramble and Logue this round whilst Mills had a gigantic score to help make up for some of my other underperformers. I wished they didn’t let Perkins rot on the flanks.
Yep.

Lol.
Missing:. Stringer, Hopper, Lycett, Steele , Rowbottom, Hall, Sholl . And Bevo still refuses to give Crozier a game.
Somehow, miraculously, we can still field an 18. It’s not a very good 18, but an 18 nonetheless.

Don’t like my chances against CB
Scoring been very down recently.
Hopefully Cox can get some ruck time for the pies.
Bugger. Was hoping Long would make the Hawks side, was wanting another debut player.
We’re bare bones now. No definite playing bench players, maybe a sub or two.
Zero bench with 5 topliners out…the singapore team is going to find the going too hot this week
F sake, Tim Taranto late out not what I need. Will struggle to cobble together 1300 this round
