I gifted him to JBaller for perennially injured big man Preuss (who after a full pre-season might be on the LTI shelf again), after panicking that I didn’t have a keeper ruck. Hadn’t watched any pre-season games, so didn’t realise that Fremantle were now heavily overpossessing the ball in the backline, so most of their backs should inflate their scores vs. last year.
The kicker to an abysmal week for the Seagulls, but a great result for JBaller. C’est la vie.
I think I’ve finalised the benches, much harder to tell on Bench. If you have a replacement for a 0 in your side, with a replacement still on your bench, @ me so I can fix it.
Available Players on Bench
@Trotters
A version does exist, but nowhere near as easy to use as UF (nor as complete):
Will have a look at it tomorrow and see whether it contains any more detail/players post-round, as to whether I will also need to update the available players thread on a weekly basis.
Additional Way to see which available squad players aren’t in your 22 on Bench
If you don’t want to go old school and use a Word/Excel doc to sort your side, here is how to see which players aren’t named yet within Bench.
That shows 2022.
Hopefully it updates to 2023.
Got me worried there…
None of the scores matched up and half my team got 0s.
Mine is showing 2023, there is a pull-down tab under show statistics for - switch it to Rd 1
Wow. That’s weird. iPad is showing 2023. Mac shows 2022. Must be a cache problem.
I’ve had the round from hell.
May well be the lowest round ever. I mean, I feel like there have been some 700s.
16, 20, 26, 33.
But. I have great expectations.
Some horrible performances from some of my better players.
Round 1 seems to do that a lot historically!
Also… I knew trading Perkins was a risk last year but gee…
Bench has final scores up.
Some big upsets and Allblack narrowly hangs on due to Blummers playing short.
Congratulations to @wezza and @Alber_Goodthur
I’ve double-checked the benches for available replacements and whilst I don’t think I’m missing anything, I’ll leave these as unofficial until the morning.

Not that it makes a difference but I should be one point less. I had Davey on the field but the bench swapped him for Mihocek.
Pretty happy with that considering I managed to lock myself into a donut and had a decent score or two on the bench.
But we’ve lost Kosi for two weeks and the 2mp injury means the ruck is already a disaster zone.
One life positive with having such a low-tech website means we’re not constantly looking at score updates from Saturday night all the way through to Sunday even though you can’t do a darn thing about the result.
Super pleased to have scored above 1500. Made even better when my top scoring player from last year in McCluggage was a virtual non contributor scoring only 55. The Perkins and Sheezel combination up forward could be one of the most exciting things to happen in fantasy footy!
Positive signs on the bench as well with Dylan Stephens getting a ton.
He esceeded my expectations. But it’s only around 1. Will regret delisting McCreedy I feel.
Looking like a long season here.
Struggle game and injuries to boot
A) do we have a database that has scores updated end of each game?
B) we can potentially hack it up in excel
He fit my draft profile, but I worried about him in starvation corner getting points over so many other Collingwood players.
Any update on how this is going to work this year mate?
Sorry. I got caught up in the website being down.
I’ll posts something tonight, but it’ll be the same as last year, where everyone sends a PM to @FF_Original_FAs .
It’ll still be Wednesday night.
My only worry is that Thursday’s and Friday’s are my busy days so if I get things wrong (because of the way thebench is with available players), I won’t be able to fix it until around 5pm on Thursday. That’s not ideal at all.
@JBaller92
Can you do me a favour and read the rules.
It’ll probably take a bit to get used to but you find your sweet spot with it.
