Apologies. Family stuff. Should be back to normal next week, barring the unexpected.
Atrocious luck for CB & Trotters who would’ve won if not for injury, hopefully that’ll turn for finals.
This is the final week for non-finalists to use FAs/waivers, so if there are any roughies you’re looking at for a keeper spot, now’s the time to grab them.
Whilst LTIs are now closed, @saladin, @Stoops and @Trotters still have free hits to use at FAs.
Your choices can be perused here:

Final H&A Round
Crazy Bomber (2) vs. Trotters (5)
Dunlop (3) vs. Stoops (1)
You Shall Be Smoten (6) vs. Allblack (4)
Alber_Goodthur (8) vs. redbull (9)
topdon (7) vs. saladin (10)
Blummers (11) vs. wezza (12)
Awesome Scotty (16) vs. JBaller (13)
Mad Bomber (14) vs. wimmera (17)
Jefferson (15) vs. Windy Dill (18)
This round is based on the ladder at the end of Rd 17, so all games should, in theory, be winnable for both sides.
The deviations from that ladder are due to CB & Stoops and Mad & Jeff being unable to play each other 3 times. Both of those games swapped opponents with wimm-Dill & Trotters-Dunlop - Dill took the lower ranked club (Jeff) and CB (as the then top side) was allocated the team with the lower For score (Trotters).
If @Alber_Goodthur makes finals it’ll be his first post-season since 2017, whilst both @topdon and @redbull are striving to make their finals debut.
