The Ashes are on. Time ceases to have any meaning for me for the next 6 weeks. One day in and I’m already feeling sleep deprived.
Preview will probably be delayed until after tonight’s game.
Best of luck to all 8 finalists.
Not only did he not make the cut, apparently Jeremy Cameron is out for me now.
Fantasy karma gods got me.
And Newnes too. ■■■■.

Now Dahlhaus is late withdrawal “rested”. These post-selection outs are super annoying.
It’s not looking good for me here. I think the predicted score is easy out
@saladin v @The_Melkman is looking like a good one at the moment.
I’m fractionally up atm, however you have better players to come IMO. You may be one player short, but my “extra” is Jordan Roughhead as Dahlhaus’ replacement; so i’ll call that a +20 advantage, tops.
@Aceman putting up a 1600 score and playing 1 short.
Whooooped!
I’ve got a feeling straight-sets are on the cards 
Far out, just checked and couldn’t believe that I’ve had 7 players score over 100 
WHE was on 0 at 1/4 time
Changes for emergencies made. Looks like @The_Melkman is in trouble against @saladin
Really frustrating when one player costs you the match. Just needed Lachlan Murphy to score 200 and I would have been in with a chance.
Well done @Birch19 - far too good. Straight sets here I come!
Unless Lyon and Dunkley go totally bananas in the second half I’m well cooked here
Need to name up 103 in the last quarter here with 4 playing 2. Seems very unlikely, closed by about 60 in the previous quarter
Elim final win. Condolences @The_Melkman , just didn’t quite click for you this week.
We’re really really pleased. We had to cover a lot of missing players and barely scraped together a full side, but posted 1480 anyway. The depth has stood up - Ballard tonned up!? - on a crucial weekend. We felt on draft day that we’d managed to build a good 30 and I thought we were a bit better than our ladder position suggested.
The aim was to win a final. Another one would be nice.
1631 with 1 man short 
Reckon that’s my highest score ever
Outstanding effort.
No ruckman was the difference in the end. Good luck next week @No.5
Can’t be disappointed with the season overall though. Wooden spoon only 2 seasons ago. Certainly headed in the right direction.
In hindsight I should have taken my dire ruck situation more seriously in the mid season trade period. But I still wasnt really rating my chances then. Oh well
