Commiserations @Crazy_Bomber, your team gave me one almighty fright. Realistically the only difference between the teams was you were missing virtually your entire first choice mid group.
You’re a crucially important part of the league going forward, especially with Trotters departing as you’re always enterprising with your trades, you never assume it’ll be a no, which I think stops a large majority of people from asking the question. You never let your side rest of its laurels.
Best of luck this week against Speedy - you’ve got the opportunity to achieve a rare feat, something that no team has managed in this league, and win back-to-back flags. Coupled with an undefeated season last year - and it has been an incredible 2 year run - an absolute testament to the amount of effort you put into getting every ounce of performance out of your team each season, and why you rarely miss a finals campaign.
Another week another @Stoops performance worthy of the record books.
