2023 FF Original Discussion Thread

I’ve been boned.
Heavily.
In many different ways.

Phillips was suspended. I didn’t realise Sheldrick was injured (that was my bad).
I screwed up FAs. Didn’t get a defender and Moyle was unlikely to play.
JHF wasn’t known until the morning of team selections.
Dev Robertson our and named emergency didn’t help.

Unfortunately, Bonner, McKenzie (the Hawthorn one) and Parnell barely made it to emergencies.

I have 4 empty spots in my 18 and 4 emergency named players on my bench but only three of them can actually end up on the field. Regardless of the setup.

I fully expect @Allblack to totally smash me this week.

Tried to make changes, including to Logue who isn’t playing (for the rest of the year).
Interchange will cover it.
Honestly, this site makes it way too hard for me to care very much.

I agree.

In a weird reverse way, the platform has made me less interested in checking my team through the week & weekend, because it’s just too damn hard to look for players & info.
@Dunlop has done a great job of filling in as many gaps as possible this year.
I will confess that I began this year thinking this was going to be my final year, but somehow, the platform didn’t make it an easier decision. I do want to stay in this competition a little while longer.

It goes without saying that we are going to be changing platforms next season. There aren’t many options at the moment, but we’re hoping more come into the market once January / February rolls around.
And unless someone wants to volunteer to take up what Dunlop does (please PM @Allblack or myself if your interested), there will need to be rule changes.

It’s probably a good time to mention that decisions on rules won’t quite be made for a bit of time. We have discussed quite a lot of rule changes, so there are a lot of options on the table, but that’s all they are right now. Options. We’re hoping to send out a survey to gauge what the group think about certain rules, etc. but for the meantime we’ll let the season unfold a bit.

If we abandon our custom positions, there’s a few good options for us to choose from.

It’s pretty much our only option at the moment unless something like UF pops up again.
But there’s other stuff we need to consider.

Regardless of what happens, continuing on the Bench isn’t an option imo.

How on earth did I miss McGovern staying in :expressionless: what a blunder

I missed Brayden Maynard, thought he was out this week.

Last week of regular season this week or round 20?

Round 20 is the last round of our H&A.

The good- 4 point win
The bad- tumble down the ladder and out of finals due to percentage caused

@Dunlop can I LTI Angus Sheldrick?
He’s out for the year.

Blackburn Marvels has two games in round 20

Zurhaar just got listed as 5-6 weeks for that ankle, was I able to LTI him as that should see the year out

@Blummers32 & @JBaller92 - Sheldrick & Zurhaar approved.

Jefferson’s extra Rd 20 game fixed.

Reminder that this is your final week for new LTIs. I will continue to accept nominations until the start of the round.
