Edit…
Obviously…
He may be lining up on the wing, but I doubt it.

He was a mid last year.
He’s more forward than mid for mine this year.

But the thing is…probs the same thing has happened elsewhere that I have no idea about.
So how am I realistically supposed to vote for Keays but not someone equally as deserving?

I don’t like it.

I’d prefer it to come down to the commish, if it has to happen at all.

If it’s players in and out of the midfield, I can help with data.
When it gets to Bs or Fs, then I still have trouble picking them at times.
Even wings are tough to pick. There’s a few (like Jason Prior) who stick around as a CB for a while, then become a C. When I’ve never seen him play anywhere but C.

Personally…
I’d love to work out where Cam Mackenzie is playing.

But I’m not putting myself through the torture of watching a Hawks game…

I have no idea what any of that means.
Other than Worpel should be CB. :wink:

Will Minson?

FAs have been processed.

Best of luck to all the coaches.
I have no confidence that Nick Bryan will actually be selected ahead of Flip, but he may come in handy at some point as another option instead of the Reeves roller coaster ride.

@Trotters is the only coach with an LTI replacement still to use.

Appreciate it!

Apologies to the group, whilst I doubt anybody would’ve picked him up, I’d completely missed that the Dogs had signed James O’Donnell last month, so he hasn’t been appearing on the lists as an option.

He’ll be listed next week. Hopefully given he is debuting, he’ll also be available on Bench next week should anybody want him.

LOCKOUT - SPECIAL TIME: Given there are 2 Friday games, the lockout will be the 2nd game as some were caught out last season, when using the early game.

So 8.40pm AEST/11.40am UK/5.40am US CT will be the lockout.

I hope everybody enjoys their Mother’s Day weekend.

An inauspicious start to the round, another mid crippled.

Have the distinct feeling I’m about to get a spanking from @topdon and his donkeys

LOL!! Never underestimate the ineptitude of my donkeys @Alber_Goodthur ! :rofl:

Mills out on 3 :skull:

I’m fairly certain Bench continuing to display final scores as 0s is an offshoot of their archaic payment system, unfortunately there is nothing I can do on my end to stop scores reverting to 0 once the final scores for Game 9 are inputted. They’ll revert to normal whenever Bench finalises things overnight.

I think I’ve played short for the last month, would love De Koning back, or better Nankervis.

Great score Dunlop, congratulations on the win.

My mob are scoring ok, about 8th best in the league this week but sit lower than that, probably makes up for other seasons when we have scored lower on average but conceded much less overall than other teams.

Cheers. Pretty happy to put up our 2 highest scores for the season without Tobias. Pleased with the last 5 weeks, but we don’t have the depth of the other top 4 and have had a good run injury wise which’ll inevitably turn. With the exception of Tobias, the only players missing from my best 18 are due to form not injury, outside of splitting hairs with Flynn/Preuss.

Long way to go.

PS> I’m expecting Fahey to finally get a go, probably off the wing next week.

Forgot to mention, whilst people are waiting for me to post on Sundays (I’ll try to have scores up by 9pm), everybody can still find their final scores for their matches via predicted scores in coaches box. I’ve sent admin a message about the score resets - will it be fixed? Who knows.

@Dunlop just saw Jimmy Webster took the field for Sandy on the weekend.

Was I able to return Jimmy from LTI

Then place Logan McDonald on LTI as he is out for 8 weeks now

Yep. Jimmy just finished his 6 weeks, so consider the swap made.

Logan will be able to return to your active list anytime after Round 15
