2024 FF Original Discussion Thread

FAs have been processed.

Notes below:

  • everyone wanted Fiorini as their first choice. I think that’s the first time the same player has universally been chosen as the first choice.
  • Full disclosure from me:
    I farked up my PM to myself.
    Here’s what I wrote:
    In…
    4 players only (2 defenders max)
    From the following order of players:
    Brayden Fiorini GC C
    Jaxon Prior Bris B
    Lachlan McNeil WB F
    Tom Campbell StK R
    Jayden Stephenson NM F
    Liam Jones WB B
    Beau McCreery Coll F
    ??? ??? B
    ??? ??? B
    ??? ??? F
    I actually wanted 2 defenders, but because I wrote 2 defenders maximum, I ended up with McCreery instead of my next choice defender. I shouldn’t be short of players this week, but I could probably do more with a defender than a forward.
  • Oh yeah. I’m over the moon for getting Liam farking Jones for the third time this year leading into a final…

Terrible scores from me but somehow I’m still in this?

Seven scores of 56 or less is not ideal in a final. Very disappointing. But earned the second chance so hopefully can bounce back next week.

Byrnes was a late out for me and Bonner has been subbed out, so this game is going down to the wire. I’m going to need a lot of luck from here.

Well done, @The_Mad_Bomber .
6 points!
Cracking game.
Good luck in the prelim. :slight_smile:

Daniher kicked 4.3. If he kicks 5.2, I win the game in an epic comeback. lol.

Congrats to AB. Good luck for the rest of your campaign. Well deserved.

Slightly disappointing end to a pretty decent year for us.
Our last six weeks have been pretty good. Kennedy and Dow both starting as subs was a tough blow , but guys like dusty, kosi and Bolton also failed to hit their best form.

We weren’t too far off the pace when it counted, but enough.

Edit : gee, it stings a bit to see that despite a slightly down week, we would have beaten 5 of the other 7 finalists!!!

Me watching as Wood, Higgins and Prior give me about 100 between the 3 of them in the last game of the round.

I have not even seen the scores, but thank you. Pity we did not play like this earlier in the season.

EDIT: Just saw the scores, you guys could so nearly have pinched it, commiserations and good luck with injuries over the next few weeks.

EDIT 2: What the **** is going on with the Excitement Machines? 1456 or something like that and 4 of their last 5 games were losses!

No empty spots in teams. so scores remain as is.

I got so lucky to win with the second lowest score of the round. Really need Johnson and Mackenzie to get their spots back into the team. And the Byrnes late out also hurt.

I’d prefer to play by Def/Mid in the backline, but I haven’t had that luxury for a while.

Regarding FAs…
It is this Thursday. It’s reverse end of season ladder for everyone playing this week, then @Split_Infinity then @Blummers32.

Side note…
I realise I farked up FAs and listed them under this upcoming week than last weeks. I’ll clean it all up when I process FAs this week.

Out in straight sets again. Selection cost me this week. Curnow off injured and Webster as sub. Congrats @Allblack

This is a cruel game. Last week I had Kennedy and Dow both start as subs. This week, with 30+ minutes of footy to go, they’d have contributed 210.

I’m on 1452 and counting. This is looking like a monster score.
Oh wait…
I’m not playing anyone…
What a week to achieve my highest score…

@You_Shall_Be_Smoten too good mate. Thought I got a break with Melksham’s sub affected 3. But early injuries to Bruhn, Marshall and Fogarty were too much to cover.

Still nervous here

Don’t worry - ap has called it!
