2023 FF Original Discussion Thread

Change made for you.

The system won’t let normal users make changes that result in open spots once the rolling lockout starts.

If anybody else needs a blank spot opened up to take a bench score, let me know.

CJ’s destroying Port Melbourne today and Binns racking up yet again, while the Hawks have 3 small fwds on the bench and Cartlon play Ed Curnow… fantastic

I’d be thrilled with that score but very surprised if I get 1400 with Short, Fyfe and Goldstein all subbed and both Dangerfield and Heeney stinking it up big time.

I can’t let this round go with a bit of a summary of the last month or so…

The Good

  • Rowan Marshall take a bow. Only 3 sub 100 scores this year. Very good.
  • Sheldrick has been nothing short of brilliant. Exactly what I needed to stay invested in the team and keep on the path I’ve set for the last few years.
  • May as well add Matthew Johnson to that list. It looks like I’ve got a few good ones here.
  • JUH and JHF are going to be massive for me in the coming few years. Again, just need patience.
  • Cam Mackenzie hasn’t performed quite so well, but he’s shown he can go big. Just need to have patience.
  • Somehow I’ve managed to win 3 of the last 4 games. I’d love to say it was by design, but I genuinely wasn’t expecting any of them. Especially while I was trying to make all those trades.
  • I got some value from the trades. I could have probably got a bit more, but I’m fine with what I’ve got and should have a strong draft hand next year to focus on my backline.

The Bad

  • Some selections errors. Andrew Phillips deserves a spot in my 18. Not sure why I’ve missed naming him a few times.
  • Will need two of the last four wins to make finals. I doubt I make finals.

The Ugly

  • If I make finals, I’m getting smashed. I’m the 8th worst scoring team in the league and my highest score of the year was 1340~. That’s not beating anyone.
  • Looks like I’ll be holding on to a few VFL/SANFL scoring talent a little while longer. Very disappointed with Sharp, Dow and Brayden Cook. They will find it tough to make my keepers.

@Dunlop can I take Duursma off the lit list this week please.

If you could keep his spot warm for a fortnight until he inevitably returns, he, I and our high performance team would be grateful

You would be able to, but he’s never been on your LTI this season - you’ve got Culley & Williams on there currently. Who you have on LTI and when they can return from are at the top of the current squad thread.


Speaking of LTIs - 2 more weeks for new LTIs - nominations close at the start of Rd 19, so if you want to switch anybody that has already served their 6 weeks, now is the time to do so.

@wimmera1: In the event McGovern, is selected, and you want to name him as part of your 22, you just need to delist someone (@ me on here so I can update my records) or nominate a new LTI to replace him.

I’ll take McGovern off and put Zach Reid on, if that’s okay.

Forgot old tissue paper williams was on my list

Done

FAs have been processed.

Weirdly…
All but one of you got your preferred choice at every pick.
Don’t recall that happening with 7 coaches bidding.
Unfortunately, red bull missed out on Taj Woewodin.

I’m going to need to hope that people drop their half decent non keepers a few weeks before finals.
This is probably the only time I’ve ever really felt there hasn’t been a delisted player worthy of a waiver claim.

@Dunlop Can I elevate Touk?

Wasn’t on LTI, so no issue playing him.

You’ve only got Teakle on LTI.

Has rolling lockout already started? :sweat_smile:

@Dunlop Matty Roberts played reserves today.
I thought he had a few more weeks to go. Weird.

He’ll come off my LTI list.
And I’ll delist Adam Tomlinson to make way for him.
