Heads up coaches
I was about to try this and lucky I did some googling!
What a shoot out between @Trotters & @The_Melkman
Assuming emergency Cowans 51 will count Melk might just steal it at the death here
…
As an aside in my game Zorko has put on a Superman cape, 179 and not done yet
He won’t get Cowans score as Answerth played, even though he didn’t score.
Rough!
Wouldn’t have been enough anyway, still just fell short
Answerth concussion was frustrating, but it was lost at the selection table.
Stupidly believed a rumour Jack Macrae was going to be sub for the Dogs game, so put him on the bench instead of Logan McDonald (43) even though there was going to be rain in the Sydney derby. To get Macrae back on I benched Harmes (101) and then to get Harmes’ score I played a non-playing player in place of Daniher (98).
So if I’d have picked Daniher instead of McDonald I’d have enough points even with the Answerth injury which is pretty frustrating.
On the up side though good score after a few down weeks and well done to Trotters who also pumped out a great score to get the win.
We’re currently taking Hinckley and his medical team to court for gross medical negligence on Rozee. Incomprehensible stupidity.
What’s the diagnoses?
That Ken Hinkley should stick to coaching and leave the injury determinations to the medical department.
Massive series of screw ups from me this week. Teach me for going to the pub on Thursday and Friday nights and promptly forgetting to check my team had the right players in the right spots.
My side is rubbish this year, I think we’re on top but shouldn’t be if it’s ranking by points for.
Not like you are miles off, still top 5 on points
Banking ugly wins whilst key players missing - some to return, some done for year
They’re claiming that they didn’t make it worse. But now he’ll miss a game. Only miss the one game, mind you. We’ll see.
Ports medical department are highly questionable. They “forgot” to do a concussion test a few years back, have put concussed players back on the ground and now they’re selecting blokes with hamstring injuries. It’s quite extraordinary.

BBFFL#2 Ladder After Round 8

As noted, I spent too long at the pub and missed lockouts. Also didn’t notice a couple of players who weren’t selected (may have been alcohol related, but really North and WBD teams aren’t high on my priority list normally) that I had just assumed were locked in. Basically ended up with about 6 zeros. Couldn’t do anything about Draper, but should have had at max 3 zeros, not 6. Still would have got smashed though, as I just don’t have enough consistently high scorers
Think Ace has won one game since July 2021 and none since some stage of 2022, not great for competition balance
Ladder after Rd 1
By my take I should have been 6th on RFA list
Current RFA list has me 7th
A player I requested RFA this week ends up on FogDogs list.
The system is broken.
I don’t think I’ve made an RFA selection, but maybe I have, so in that case ignore me …
I think I did an UFA, but not RFA.
