There are 2 certain starters from the FA pool with C status, while another 2 are named on extended benches. I would expect @westozziebomber to take at least 1 given he is top of the FA priority pile.
I may be overreacting here, but I just donāt think it is a good component of the comp when we are giving people heads up about who is available in FA week-to-week, even if it is a vague reference of people being available with a C position. The competition has enough limitations as it is to differentiate and get a competitive edge without taking away the ability to ā ā ā ā ā ā up talent on the FA list by coaches being proactive, diligent and thorough on a weekly basis.

PS. āsn@tchā is a censored word? Itās true definition is not the sexual reference. This PC world is getting out of controlā¦
With all due respect, WOB has been 4 mids short for the last 4 weeks. Not sure how that is good for the comp. Personally I think it would be worse if he hadnāt picked someone up again when there were a couple available.
As for coaches been proactive I believe we have made it very simple with FAs done after selection.
Dont worry I canāt even name the Blitz Player Award by its correct name anymore Nobby Clarke isnāt annoyed in the title.
edit - its weird that it works in posts.
Yup, so we really donāt need to be telling people thereās playing Cās in the FA pool. Thereās 6 hours from team selection to RFA processing, so lots of time to check and put in a bid.

Itās not good for the competition; Iām with you there. But I am short a mid this week due to injuries and I put in the effort to figure out who may be available, who IS available and lodged FA requests in the hope of maybe snapping up someone before another coach in the league noticed. But that all seems redundant when we are out here advertising who is free and up for grabs. This is a competition hereā¦

Very average beginning. Cal Wards numbers have really dipped as the young gws mids have developed.
353 from 4 players. Would have liked a few more. Macrae couldnāt get a sniff in the last.
Yeah, a pretty strange game from FF viewpoint. Most players came in and out of the match in fits and starts. Patton was frusteating, dropped several easy marks that would have added 20 odd points straight up even aside from potential shots at goal. Heāll score 120+ for me one day, but around that itāll be irritating.
On target for a terrible score, lol.
Got away with a lot less damage than I thought @DonToDeath was going to inflict with his Port Adelaide posse. The first quarter they went crazy with huge stats but fortunately for the Bulls they couldnāt keep it up. Benching Callum Sinclair wouldnāt have been something I would have done if I had known Tippett was going to be a late out. Always hurts seeing a 100 plus score sitting on the pine.
Seems if you need to score 1700, you play me and youāre a chance.

Need a few 2nd half points from Atkins to squeeze past Wobbies boys. Wouldnt have got near him without his midfield issues though. Pretty tough luck for the reigning premier.
Fairly disappointed with my score, so many below par scores from my lads and yet still a chance to break 1320+. Thats probably a good sign in a way.
Watching that live it looked more groin than hammy. Looked painful either way.
Agree. Was a severe case of doing the āsplitsā. Was surprised when I read it was a tendon.
