Well done, @The_Mad_Bomber .

Way too good for me this week.

This was posted around the club, your team talk worked a treat!

Thanks and good luck for the finals. Yeah the automation of the comp has had the sad side effect of less ■■■■ talk.

Couldn’t think of a sweeter way to sneak into the 8

In all seriousness, can consider myself pretty lucky to make the 8. The next three teams have all scored more this season.

I just wanted to say on the eve of finals, best of luck to all finalists.

I hope no-one gets an early injury. That’s a crappy way to lose. Thanks to Windy for steering the ship. Changing platforms was absolutely the right decision.

And I just want to say again…for the estimated scores of all finalists to be within 140-odd points…that’s amazing. Makes everyone feel like they’re a chance. And looking at the estimates for Saracens and Macleods, they’d have been a decent chance of taking it out with a little more luck during the season.

Lots of people have posted great scores. It makes for a great league, and I appreciate all of you.

Good luck to all but CB and Melk (whose R1 picks I own)

Good luck to all. This has been an absurd year of injuries for all coaches to manage. The finalists are well deserved.

Very lucky to sneak into the top four and get the double chance. Gonna need it with Laird, Berry and Peatling all out against Essendon where they would have feasted.

Commiserations to @OntheRise .

Obviously you’d have won if Blakiston was selected, and I was biting my nails until the final siren.

You’ve posted some great scores this year, including a 1516. With a bit of luck you could have finished H&A higher and given the title a shake.

Best of luck for next year.

Thanks Wimmera

Congratulations on your win. came down to the final Qtr of ESS v Adel

Very happy with the year. Scored the 3rd or 4th highest for points for.

Struggled most of the year finding a ruck that was playing. So open to trading in a ruck for next season. Any takers hahah

Wishing everyone luck for remainder of year.

Been a great season for all. Thanks everyone and Windy Dill for organising this season

Oh well, turns out we needed to get the double chance. Now we have another match up with our padawans from down the highway and a little bit further, the Pimpino Tigers. Good luck to everyone else! :wink:

Nah good luck Wimm and may the best regional Western Victorian side win!

I’ve done myself (and others) a bit of a mischief.

I picked Lorenz up from free agents and then immediately dropped him when I saw Wardlaw was named.

This puts him on waivers until next week, so I was wondering if that could be changed somehow? In case some other team wants him?

Don’t want to disadvantage anyone through my stupidity.

Edit: that does seem to be a rather nasty loophole for people who perhaps wouldn’t play within the spirit of the game. I feel like you could do it multiple times…

Hey Wim
I appreciate the gesture. I don’t have oversight over who is a free agent or waiver. Don’t think it really matters in the scheme of things. Thanks anyway.

Best of luck, MB, and to the other finalists.

Again, hoping for no injuries or any late out nonsense.
