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

@dunlop can I take nik cox off of lit and replace with jai culley?

I know I want get to use cox until his time is servered I just know I’ll end up forgetting to switch jai when the time comes

@Dunlop

LTI request for Zak Jones please, has had a setback on the weekend and listed as 6-8 on Saints website: https://www.saints.com.au/news/1332522/injury-update-jones-suffers-setback-latest-on-key-forward-duo

@Alber_Goodthur: Nik has also just finished his 6 week stint, so I’ve switched them for you.

@Stoops: Completely new injury, so he is approved.


James O’Donnell is available as a FB - he has also been added to Bench.
He played his 3 VFL games as a back, but I’ve also given him F status, because as a certified genius Bevo brought him in to play as a forward, with Lobb redeployed as a wing.

I’ve fallen like a led balloon! Injuries and my ruck (and now back) situation has killed me!

I’m winless and bottom of the ladder, but reasonably happy with how things are progressing. Last week we managed 1249 (would have beaten 9 teams), and the week before 1300 (would have beaten 8 teams).

It’s super young team, and about half the squad have played less than 3 seasons of AFL footy. I think there’s a core group of around 12 players that I’m reasonably confident will develop into solid dream teamers. Hopefully one or two free agents pop up before seasons end, and then a couple more are added in the draft. That should give me a strong group of keepers to work with going forward.

Bit of a stretch at the moment…
But is Setterfield able to go onto LTI?

“Upon further investigation, it’s been revealed he has a small fracture in his foot after being trodden on in game. At this stage, we’re unsure on the timeline, but it’ll be a short to medium term injury.”

I’m not sure what short to medium term means.
The Geelong injury list have had short term. Gary Rohan was also played against us a few weeks back and he’s still short term.

Sorry mate. Way, way too vague at this stage. You’ll need to wait a week, for a proper prognosis - the vast majority of bone breaks are 3-4 weeks which is in the ballpark here.

On the short-term stuff, assuming they’re adopting the standard Neil Balme methodology that Geelong and Richmond use:
short-term = 1-3 weeks
medium-term = 4-6 weeks

Thanks Blummers. Going to try our luck with CCJ again for the gazillionth time

@JBaller92 - You’ll need to delist someone to pick up Crozier.

You swapped Webster (off LTI) for Logan McDonald (onto LTI) - you don’t gain an extra LTI replacement pick in doing this.

EDIT:
@wezza: To play Salem, just name who you are delisting to elevate him.

I dropped Andrew Phillips who was the webster LTI
