I expected it, but still pesky wezzle.

Nothing untoward with the LTIs - everybody can check their LTIs - who they’ve placed on there, when they’re eligible to be removed and whether they’ve used their replacement pick or not - at the very top of current squad page.

I’ll endeavour to update the squads themselves on a weekly basis from next week as Bench can cause a bit of tunnel vision with selecting squads.

The Seagulls welcome back to the club, Mason Cox. He’ll be hoping to add to his 5 games from last season. My forwards are so dire this season that my 8th best back, would be my 3rd best forward, so Mason walks into the mix with the 5th best average.
Berry can’t return to form quickly enough.

I’m cursed. In search for a ruck… select Schache? Omitted. Now with no Backs (replaced Rampe on LTI), i’ll be playing two down this week. FML!

Finals next year.
I feel it in my waters.
Going from 1200 to 1350s.
Which is not to disparage coaches that have been building for five years.

Now, if people could please stop trading gun lifetime mids to CB for a handful of magic beans…that’d…that’d be just great.

I thought I got good value out of Ben Keays at the time.
I think it was a first round pick + 2nd round pick + Willem Drew.
I used those picks on Angus Sheldrick and Matthew Johnson who are yet to develop but starting to get their opportunities this year.
I eventually traded away Drew and think I turned him into Monty who I have since delisted.

Harris come on mate

I doubt I can adequately express my frustration with Fark Carlton and Fark Voss. Matt Kennedy, 61 in a quarter. As the sub. Ffs. My side could/should be going so much better.

Fingers crossed that none of my forwards are late out. Cumberland sitting as my first emergency with a subbed score of -2.

Seems like Ed Curnow is preferred over him, but I’m not sure why.

Congratulations Blummers. My mob haven’t performed well outside of finals on big occasions.

Nah.
You’ve got this one easy.
My for and against score is in the bottom 6. Nowhere near your level yet.

@Alber_Goodthur and @topdon is the more worthy match of the round.

Happy with the win, happy with the score. But it was built on two big returns rather than an even output.

Going to have to shuffle things yet again, with Rioli certain to miss some weeks. Hopefully Voss looked at that last quarter and remembers that Kennedy is actually an AFL standard contested ball winner.

Reckon I might be the worst team to ever get this deep into the season undefeated. We’ll take it but worry we’ll be easy prey in the finals. Come trade time I’ll have to make a decision whether to go hard or stick the path of quiet rebuild.

I’ll put up Kane Farrell thanks.
He was played off the backline late last year.
From what I can tell, it’s followed through into this year until he got injured.
