BBFFL#2 2019 Discussion

Well done @saladin

Pretty disappointed. Was building nicely and then it has fallen apart completely with my forwards in the last month.

That said, I think I have got a much much stronger 20 than I had a couple of seasons ago and am in a good place for the next few seasons.

Definitely moving in the right direction mate, and more improvement to come for sure.

Was a close one in the end mate, less than 100 points in it. Better luck next week :).

Condolences to @The_Melkman and @ivan. In many ways this is the worst time of year to have finals with so much of the AFL playing funny buggers with injuries and selection. Can be tough to get your best team on the park.

Great job to the victors. I will post the score tomorrow morning when I wake up here in Montenegro!

I got lucky, I know it.

You had your own injury issues.

Anyway, when do we start the trade discussion thread? I’m looking for a ruck and have a bunch of promising young forwards who can’t all fit on the list…

The trade period starts at the same time as the real one from memory but no reason you can’t start discussions with coaches now, i already have.

Wow. This week has been good to me with inclusions. Looks like I will have a squad of 26-27 playing and 2-3 listed as emergencies. That’s got to be some kind of record?

Unfortunately two of the three non-playing players are best 18 in Jack Watts and more importantly, Stephen Coniglio. Still, pretty good fortune at this time of the season. Tom De Koning the other player not playing, but he is developing in Carlton VFL at the moment, so not a surprise.

Is UF not yet showing who’s been selected in the sides this week?

Additionally, I would just like to thank my sport science guys Dean Robinson and Stephen Dank for the magnificent job they have done keeping the lads in top nick ready for finals. #BlackOps

Gonna be tough against the Fyfe’s. Haven’t managed to knock them over this year.

Ports refusal to play Lycett leaves us exposed, so we added graham off the FA purely for emergency Ruck usage.

Still some way off our best side but we have a full side and some cover so hoping for a decent performance.

Win or lose, hopefully it’s a titanic battle like the last meeting - 16 points.

Let’s go!

Edit: oh FFS. Hopper a late out??? Atkins better fire. And a good score from Bonar would be handy in case I lose a midfielder because I took Rowbottom out of the Emg list.

I’m sure I have the worst finals record in this leagues history.

When I was looking at it you have both an amazing and bad record. Off the top of my head you have only missed the finals once, every year you have made the finals you have played in two finals - yet you have never made a grand final.
