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.
Anyway, when do we start the trade discussion thread? Iām looking for a ruck and have a bunch of promising young forwards who canāt all fit on the listā¦
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. Thatās 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.
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

Win or lose, hopefully itās a titanic battle like the last meeting - 16 points.
Letās 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.
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.
