Bowes made the cut! Miraculously, by trading in some rubbish and shifting some multi-position players, I have somehow scraped a playing 18 together. Its not a great team though, lol. And only one āliveā emergency so any late outs will likely be catastrophic. The average is going to take a hammering, methinks. Desperately need Ward, Mills, Fanta to get some form. But still, no donuts. With possibly seven outs on Thursday night, that didnāt look likely.

Think WoB will get his first win, my team is looking worse each week lol
Two imminent LTI developments following Round 8.
@Bargey will need to ensure his list is 30 players as Sam Lloyd becomes ineligible for the LTI list.
@saladin will need to trim the list to 31 if Jordan Roughead plays for the VFL bulldogs as selected.
Following Round 9:
@Redbull may have to trim the list by one to allow D Robinson to return if he plays NEAFL this weekend or next as his LTI period expires heading into Round 10.
Absolute FML
I moved achee onto the ground for Suban and DIDNT SAVE THE CHANGE. Boy oh boyā¦I could have had my first full side

sigh I remember when Liberatore was a beast inside midfielder with a tonne of tackles. Then he did his knee and bevo was appointed and that was pretty much the end of him as a fantasy scorer 
Match of the round update
Miles dropped from the final Richmond team isnāt ideal, but the Merchants welcome back Daniel Wells, and introduce debutant Daniel Lloyd, who has been a very strong performer in the NEAFL.
Friday night has been a mixed result, with 100s from JJ Kennedy and Caleb Daniel, but a poor 55 from Wellingham.
Redbull has had a couple of poor Friday night showings (and a couple of good scores) which should set us up for a very competitive weekend. The forecast scores now sit 11 points apart.

Not feeling confident. From memory the one or two previous occasions Iāve put my matchup forward as match of the round my team has been rubbish. My Bailey Williams gamble didnāt work. Pleased Yeo managed to get to 100 after a poor first half.

Geez reckon our Kreuzer, Daniher trade has been a huge win/win @redbull
Both in probably career best form.

I needed a ruck badly. Probably got have got more out of Joe. But he was someone I was willing to trade so it was good business!
Youāve monstered me this week. Zaka, Cripps, Henderson all going big.
Not yet i havenāt as you still have some big scorers to come. If all mine play to their average i should win but anything can happen in this game.
I think there were some excellent everyone wins trades done in hindsight.
Eg- Cant recall every detail but:
I sent Gibbs to Red for #5. Heās scoring well and is part of Reds surging team.
I turned #5 (to Ivan) into Hurley and Patton. Hurls last four weeks are 94,108, 99, 100 and im stoked. Patton a bit hit and miss but most weeks is giving me 70+.
Having 5 then alliwed Ivan the flexibility to bring in Jobe, Stants and maybe mckenna? From melky. His improvement is rapid and was able to still pocket Brodie.
Melk had a year well below his lists ability and yet was able to also snaffle McClug and Taranto who will score heavily in coming years.
I think we all walked away from that with obvious benefit.

roughly 550 in front but Mr Bewick has four extra players in action today. its going to tighten right up. if mills and dbj can fire iāll be much more comfortable.
As usual Iām playing short. You had it won before we started.
@Eggs looks like he is going to ran over the top of me. JPK and Hall going absolutely nuts while Iām getting little from my guys.
Damn Newman coming in a late inclusion. Sitting on the pine with 77 points to half time. Selection likely to cost me the win.
Clarke and towers need 78 in a half to steal the win from me
