Feel bad for you, rb.
You’ve built your team up very well.
Yep. I stuffed this week up. Unlucky. The Bench will be the death of me. All I want is the green ticks

Congrats Dunlop. You deserve to go out with a bang and win the thing.

Disappointing end to your tenure in this league, with multiple premiership heroes, lowering their colours this week. I was hoping Taylor could recreate his GF performance last year to finish things off well for you, given DBJ was turning in his best for 10 weeks, but not to be. Luck seemed to desert you for stretches this year, particularly with your traded-in players. I’m thrilled however to see you’ve upset the Melkmen and will continue your legacy against League 2’s ultimate Boss character of the last 2 years in Crazy Bomber. Lots of luck for next week, CB will be really tough to beat.

FAs have been processed.
Shout out to @Stoops this week. He put in 5 FA pickups. Got his first choice. Missed out on 2, 3 and 4. Then got the fourth.
@Crazy_Bomber on the other hand had 10 pickups. Got his 1st, 2nd, missed out on the 3rd and got his fourth.
Best of luck to the remaining coaches.
Side note…
Apologies for the delay. Thursday’s are my longest days.
I might have next Thursday off, but if I don’t worst case, I’ll process them before 9am Friday morning.

@Allblack I’ve picked up your players for you. You’ll just need to allocate them to your squad
@Crazy_Bomber - ditto for you, with the exception of Lloyd Johnston.
You delisted Hibberd 4 weeks ago for GWS’s Daniel Lloyd, but evidently never made that swap on Bench. If you want Johnston, you’ll either need to delist Lloyd or someone else for him.
I’ve delisted Preuss as he had to be removed from LTI.

Shows how much attention I pay to the Bench, but I’ll just delist Lloyd.

Must say I feel like a huge underdog to Dunlop, If I win this it’ll rank right up there with most most memorable victories. My scoring has been OK at best, probably carried by Sicily and a few others, whilst Dunlop has been powering big 1600+ scores…not to mention being pitted against the retiring sentimental hero against my mob of scum and villainy.
Losing Libba was a huge blow, and was badly hoping I got back any of Walsh, Setterfield or Hurn, but it seems not to be the case. Best of luck to everyone in the depths of finals.

Best of luck Allblack, hoping to avenge the prelim loss last year but again think you’ll be too strong, not sure the projected scores do your team justice this week, some very juicy match ups. Feel like I play you every time we face Josh Kelly so he’ll be a lock for 130.
Tom Mitchell is absolutely cooked, scored as many tons in 2021 before I traded him in than the last two seasons combined. Crisp went missing in q3 also

Cheers. Still trying to drag you down to my level. I think you’ll get me pretty comfortably. You’ve got a great team.

Greene rested for the 2nd half and Seb Ross subbed out. Craze right in this.
Stoops can seal himself a spot in the Grand Final tonight. He leads by 240 predicted on the back of excellent performances again from Newman & Fisher.
Congratulations to @Stoops, our first team into the Grand Final. The #1 seed and highest scoring team over the past 3 years. Richly deserved mate.
Current: Stoops 1256 (14) vs. Allblack 916 (12)
Predicted: 1607 vs. 1339
In the other game, get out the popcorn, as this’ll go down to the wire.
After a incredibly gutsy 122 from Brad Hill, which would’ve had @Crazy_Bomber screaming and yelling from his seat, particularly after Brad looked potentially done on 40. Craze is neck and neck and in with a huge chance of an upset. Best of luck mate, with the players involved this promises to be another epic slugfest.
Crazy Bomber 986 (12) vs. Dunlop 1088 (13)
1.10pm: 3 - Dale, Daniel & Kelly vs. 2 - Bont & Duggan

Melbourne gave up 138 to Ziebell 2 weeks ago, so Sicily could go huge.

A team-inspiring 37pt opening term from Tim Kelly and Bont being the lowest of the 5 scorers, has CB well placed at the half.
He’s taken 59pts off the margin to only trail by 43.

Bont the champ pulling Nate to a GF with an impressive 2nd half!
@Awesome_Scotty - I hope Will Phillips & Max Ramsden + whoever you take with my 1st end up being brilliant players for you, as Bont has absolutely saved my arse today. An 103pt half is insane.
@Alber_Goodthur: Really impressive start to Hustwaite’s career.
