Bit late so will just let you post here,
But this to start:
27 changes to Friday / Saturday teams.
7 confirmed outs for Sunday squads
So we possibly prepare for carnage.
Ouch. Hope that means Neale is coming back in there somewhere.
Tankaroos will be making many changes
Read Zorko has been in hospital all week with an infection

Hanners pls :'(
Bailey Rice is great as a Saints fan but poor for SC 2018.
Edit: Extended bench so may not play.
Apart from Hanners, and no Hurley, not the carnage I was expecting. Neale in good for some, Adams named very good. Week is still young though.

Was hoping for a little more carnage to allow loopholes! Newman back in hurts my ability to loophole D6 & D7
Gold Coast: Gary Ablett will not play in Round 23
Gold Coast: Gary Ablett & Jack Bowes have withdrawn from Round 23, they are replaced by Brad Scheer & Mitch Hallahan
AFL advises Ben Reid has withdrawn from Collingwood r23 team v Melbourne. Kale Kirby into 22. Jackson Ramsey added to emergencies.
These from Fags presser today:
On Zorko
CF: Dayne got an infection from a graze on his leg after Sunday. He spent a bit of time in hospital and got out middle of the week.
CF: He had a light session last night and will train again today. He will play.
On Hipwood
CF: Eric fell awkwardly on his knee late in the game last week. He may or may not play. We will see how he goes today at training.
Hipwood would be doubtful but should know before final teams announced
GOATwood will play
The AFL advises T. Walker and D.Talia have withdrawn from the round 23 Adelaide squad. J.Beech and R. O'Brien into the 25 man squad
AFL advises Jordan Foote (illness) has withdrawn as a Syd Swans' emergency for the Rd23 match v Carlton and been replaced by Jordan Dawson.
Greenwood out for the Crows also.

First donut of the year
Well there goes my Shiel to Josh Kelly manoeuvre. Only Fisher to cover so Greenwood to someone looks like. Or I just thought maybe just keep Greenwood to loophole Danger VC and stick with bringing in Kelly, but with shallow emerg. Now I'm confused.

Same goes, apparently 3 bench players as coverage isn't enough with Hurley, Darcy, Hanners and Greenwood :'(

Ouch just have to hope your opponent cops some bad luck
Burton, Gazza and Greenwood. Truly limping to the line. Can't afford another out, no more bench cover.
Final teams #AFLHawksDogs: No late changes to either side.

Not all bad, 1K for first and 500 for 2nd so I'll still do well, but just sucks it's already over before it begins and I'm zero chance down a player, where as I was every chance of winning the 1K prior
Ah well. Least I don't have to sweat the results over the weekend because it's already decided lol

Amen to this, don't chuck it in yet mate. This game can throw some odd events at us.
No late changes for Pies and Dees, so Taylor Adams good to go.
As expected, @EricHipwood a late out for the @brisbanelions - replaced by Cedric Cox #AFLLionsNorth
