Fonti’s first game was very impressive. I was one of the 5… disappointed

From the looks of it, there are no empty spots in team’s 18 to fill. Let me know if you see any out of the ordinary with your scores.
Ladder is as per the below.
I’m surprised that for the second time this year, I’ve snagged a good scoring midfielder off FAs with pretty much the last pick of the round. Hopefully, Luke Edwards gets a good run at things now.
I still think I’m short on quality so I unless my midfielders gain some form over the next fortnight, I could easily be bounced out of finals in straight sets.
Round 11, I lost to CB by 24 points, which could have been covered several ways with better selection.
Winning that game alone would have put me one game (and percentage) out of the eight.
Which is…pretty…pretty funny.
FAs have been processed.
A few notes:
- Finn Maginness isn’t available as @AVanderScreamer hadn’t picked him up from last week.
- Happy to get Max Heath. Was surprised that he’s made emergencies ahead of Campbell for one of the few times this season.
Best of luck to all coaches.

Selection certainly not kind to me. 4 of my 5 starting forwards from last week are out - Todd Marshall, Jake Waterman, Alex Davies and Jack Graham. Not sure I have the depth to cover that in one week.
The Excitement Machines will sleep easier knowing that they won’t have contend with that forward line.

That forward that sits inside the top 4. Is your mob even still in this league? My table only goes down to 12th.
Hooray!

If you’re not first, you’re last. As far as I’m concerned, we’re both bottom of the table.
Sorry!
lol.
If there’s a way to lose by not very much, I will find it.
No empty spots in teams to replace, so the scores stand.
Let me know if they missed something.
Ladder as per the below.
Last round of the season coming up. Only spot up for grabs is who wants to finish 4th to be favourite for a spot in the Prelim against me.
Match of the round is @Blummers32 v @redbull. 1st v 4th. It will define whether that 4th spot is available to other teams.

Best of luck to all coaches this week.
Dougal Howard is my usual bench loophole play. I haven’t had much luck with it for a while now.
I’m glad I got another ruck. At least Mason can play forward.
Happy with Turner. Can probably do with a player who can switch between forward and back.
Clohesy is a bit of a gamble. Scores well at VFL level so might be okay at AFL level.

Love that some of those picks are clearly for next year.
Well done, coaches.
I’ve tried to get in touch with @Alber_Goodthur, but he doesn’t seem to be active on this forum. Does anyone have his email address or another way to contact him?
I’m just trying to find out what issues he’s having with payment but it’s tough to know if there is no response to PMs.
We’ve decided to give him until the weekend to just respond or post something. Communicate, mumble, smoke signal, anything at this point will be a positive.
Otherwise, he risks being kicked out of the comp at the beginning of next year or if he wishes to continue playing he pays twice the amount to make up for this year’s shortfall.

I think I stuffed up on team selection this week.
After our loss to the Saints, I switched off somewhat from footy and didn’t notice that Turner was named as a sub. So didn’t get the chance to drop him and take Dougal Howard’s score off the bench.
That leaves 53 points on the bench and it’ll probably cost me the game this week. Whilst I’m in front, @redbull has a more players in the later game so I think he’ll overrun me.
Good effort by my mob, but a lack of quality players across the list is hurting. Really need Matthew Johnson and Cam Mackenzie back to give me better options through the middle and the backline.

Well done. Matt Roberts pulled out a worldie and my Sunday players underperformed. Too good.
Perkins a big concern for the Bulls

Pretty pretty happy to have made it into the finals, even if we bow out in an Elim final, as is distinctly possible. We threw in a shocking score last week before bouncing back , but we aren’t sure what we will get week to week. The scramble to get a few trades before the draft, and then a draft to try to suit the new ground layout of 7 mids has kinda worked. I haven’t had to chase my tail in the FA too much, but equally for many weeks life got in the way and I missed the FA deadline anyway, lol.
I’m quite exposed to injuries atm and I really needed a mid season trade for a semi decent defender but I couldn’t find a deal. But…we made it. 2nd time in three years, iirc. We were rock bottom with an average list age of about 39 a few years back, lol.

Next week’s finals series is as per the below.

Sunbury 1375 beats Arizona 1358.
Conargos 1387 beat Columbus 1315.
Red and All Blacks 1324 beat Saracen 1308.

Crunchas nearly the form side of the comp* Might be just the thing for reviving our rivalry with the Tigers!
*Results only, not actual scores.
