As head coach, I'm very happy with the way this team is progressing. Looking towards the future whilst not closing our short-term premiership hopes. Many thanks goes out to all the staff - please keep support coming. It is greatly appreciated.
Do you have a rival?

Harsh!
But fair.
ROUNDS 1-10 DRAFT SUMMARY
After 10 tough rounds of drafting. We are very happy with our squad:
K. Jack - had a stellar 2012, especially his 2nd half. He has finally adapted to the AFL and I believe he will lead the Strikers forward. He is a tackling machine that kicks goals...perfect for this comp.
T. Rockliff - very young and has huge upside. We hope he is listed as a fwd in 2013
S. Jacobs - every team needs a good ruckman, and we have a great one in Jacobs. He is consistent and very durable
S. Grigg - one of the best outside players in the game. Great average and only 24
R. Conca - one of the best young backmen in the game. Has massive potential that we think he can fullfil over the next couple of years
M. Clark - up there with best key forwards in the game and still improving himself.
H. Scotland - top 5 backmen and will add some experience to the backline.
S. Gibson - showed this year he is more than capable of becoming a premium mid.
M. Golby - a young back who we fell will peform a lethal combo with Conca in a couple of years.
K. Simpson - couldnt pass up when saw he was still available at pick 147. Gun ourside player who still has a good few years left yet.
all lists updated
Even though a body dies, I like to think the person lives on!

ROUNDS 11-20 DRAFT SUMMARY
Another 10 rounds goes by. Looking for some insight to our selections? Here it is:
Josh J. Kennedy - key forwards are gold in this comp and he is one of the best when fit. We feel he can dominate for the next 5 years
Tom Scully - at pick 179, what a steal. No1 draft pick with huge potential
Josh Jenkins - given a chance at crows and is improving steadily. Look for a breakout 2013
Justin Westhoff - he has an x-factor about him. Could turn premium as his team improves
Michael Walters - a lot to like about this boy. Massive upside with plenty of improvement still left
Shaun Burgoyne - proven gun, sub 30 so still a few years left of being one of the best backs
Gary Rohan - unlucky 2012 but will break out in 2013. If fit will be an absolute gun
Jamie Elliot - should cement his place in the magpie side in 2013. Very young so still on the rise
James Sellar - def/ruc dpp which shall be very handy. High draft-pick and only 23
Alex Johnson - 20, yes 20 years old. Cemented his place in the 22 for years to come

ROUNDS 21-30 DRAFT SUMMARY
Will Hoskin-Elliot - high draft pick and showed it in a handful of games this year. Can only get better©, and will be a major part of the Strikers midfield in the coming years along with his GWS team-mate, Tom Scully.
Curtly Hampton - this kid has major flair. With MPP and an improvement in work-rate,:should start to fire in the coming years. He was worth the punt at pick 339.
Brad Sheppard - very young, high draft pick. He's on an improving team and should increase himselfbto a fine player and take part in the devastating young backs I have with Golby and Conca.
Ryan Schoenmakers - much maligned but he is still young and puts out solid scores. Has improved dramatically and hopefully he continues the trend in 2013.
Scott Lycett - as soon as Cox retires or NicNat goes down, this guy will be ready. Imagine the good its doing to him watching Cox and NicNat train/play.
Jackson Painedef/fwd is always handy, and this guy has some serious potential.
Steven May - has the potential to explode. He is a work in progress but I'm very confident he can start to.cement his place in the Suns team.
Rhyce Shaw - his 2012 finals campaign with the Swans impressed me and we feel he will continue to be a solid back for a few years.
James Podsiadly - we needed an experienced, proven forward and we got a good one in.J-Pod! A steal for pick 462
Rhys Cooyou - impressed in NAB. Young , athletic forward who should cement his place in the Giants lineup during 2013
ROUNDS 31-36 DRAFT SUMMARY
Steven Salopek - finally got out of Port Adelaide and could thrive at a new club. On his day, he is a ball-magnet. Was obviously worth a punt at #494
Luke Brown - Crow/Norwood boy, so I couldnt resist. He was all the rang in the pre-season then died off a bit. Still young and I see him having a bright future.
Jason Tutt - if he can re-capture his debut form then he will be a steal...pretty big 'if' but only time will tell.
Cameron Guthrie - I like this boy, should have a solid career. Great to add another young gun to the backline
Tom Swift - Tabs is a fan of this boy so I think he'll prove his worth. Only 22 so plenty of improvement to be done
Jed Lamb - This kid has major x-factor...almost stevieJ like!
Quote from: tor01doc on October 01, 2012, 09:54:31 AM
Even though he has the potential to be a crowd favourite here at the Dolphins due to his nickname, management are willing to offload Jason Porplyzia.
Is he of interest to my erstwhile team?
I will look at your list if you are keen.
Missing me? :-*
yes we would be interested in him. PM me Doc
All lists made to reflect the trade with the PNG HeadHunters...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first trade in AXV history has been made, and we are part of it! In a blockbuster deal with the PNG HeadHunters, we have received Andrew Gaff, Jeremy Howe and NAT draft pick 21. Will be sad to see Tom Rockliff, Mitch Golby and NAT draft pick 51 be shipped off to Papau New Guinea but we believe it is the best thing for the club.
The Lobsters are happy to be affiliated with such a great club ;)
In a trade with the Dongs, Heath Scotland has left Sri Lanka - wanting to win a premiership before he retires in 1-2 years.
We welcome Scott D. Thompson to the Strikers :) he is 6 years younger than Scotland so we believe he will be around for our next flag, unlike Heath.
We also get NAT pick 48 in replacement for Rookie pick 19.

Excuse me erstwhile boss, (and do you even know what erstwhile means?),
Why the fluck are you applying for yet another coaching job?
Seems to us that you are struggling with the onerous duties you have over there in Sri Lanka.
May I suggest you withdraw your application and concentrate on 'our' Strikers?
Cheers / all in good faith

That will not happen mate.

Lists made to reflect the trade with the Eskimoes :)
Check it out guys
Rumours are that a huge deal has been done which involves some quality players leaving Sri Lanka! In return, we have strengthened our backline while dropping our average age + got hold of a valuable draft pick!
Stay tuned
Everyone in Sri Lanka would like to make Toga welcome as he starts his job as our draft consultant. He will providing us with valuable information during the drafts and we are sure to pick up some steals with him on board
As the NAT draft begun the speculation came true. The Strikers took Brodie Grundy, the best ruck in the draft with pick 3. We received numerous offers before the draft and one of them proved too good to be true.
So we have reached a trade with the Crocodiles resulting in us getting Shannon Hurn + Levi Casboult. We wish Brodie Grundy and Steven May all the best.
All of Sri Lanka has been rocked by the news that Reece Conca will be a mid only in 2013
We vow to our supporters that even though this news hurts we do not regret picking and we have high hopes for his future.

Though he did frustrate my DT every week when he sat in a forward pocket :o I do not believe he should be a pure mid, no way, not yet!

Half of these trades have no even been posted? Are they for next period??
Yeah. You could call them gentlemens agreements but that term never seems to end well.
The rumours have been confirmed. Andrew Gaff has not been enjoying his short time in Sri Lanka and is looking for a new home. However we will not trade him easy, and are looking to do the best thing for our team.
We will listen to any offer but have an interest in star backs and/or fwds
Sounds like you want to get rid of him more than he is not happy. Or he is not happy because on every thread you said 'I want to trade Andrew Gaff'
Haha, poor gaffer
Goodbye Mitch Clark. Welcome back Shaun Grigg
The board of the Strikers has been rocked by Player Development Manager - Tabs' decision to defect to rival club - PNG Headhunters. We wish him all the best and he's provided us with the solid foundation we have today.

Plus i hav no idea what im doing so having someone like tabs is essential :p
But mons it is fun having no idea what you're doing!
Just ask me.
U no, thats y u wont trade with me haha ;)
We would like to welcome Brett Goodes to the Strikers. We rate him very highly and thought he was worth using pick 3 in the rookie draft on.
It has been a huge day in Sri Lanka! Throughout today in trades with the Lambs and Llamas we have lost Shaun Grigg, Jeremy Howe, Shannon Hurn, Andrew Gaff and Luke Brown. But we would like to welcome Steele Sidebottom, Mitch Clark, Sam Darley, Mitch Golby and Hamish Mcintosh to the club.
Steele has been named VC for the Strikers
Looks like you're excited with your new recruit Jay :P
Teams looking good now, might be able to push for a good finals berth at this stage of affairs!

well I needed a new DP and Sidey was the first that came to mind. ;D
Think I can push for the premiership now. We'll see, cant wait for the season :)
The Strikers quest for the inagural AXV premiership has dramatically increased overnight with a deal being done that lands us one of the best young forwards in the game, Dale Thomas. We have lost the services of Hamish Mcintosh and Rhys Palmer (we wish them well in Vietnam) but we believe this trade has really improved our squad and is a major chance to take out the premiership in any of the next few years.

Hello all,
just would like to thank the 'Strikers' in considering me for a 'Trade advisory' roll within their Club.
Hopefully in the short time and the trades made, Sri Lanka has become a stronger team with Youth being the main aim.
The building of a squad with potential "ultra" Premium players under 25yo and quality Rookies, the 'Strikers' will be competitive in the short term and a Force in the near future. With a window of opportunity for multiple Premierships.
Good luck to all Teams for the 2013 season.
Team list (http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,66628.msg863925.html#msg863925)updated :)
Some nice surprises when looking up players' positions
Sorry to hear about Suckling and Johnson Jayman :'(
Just increases the amount we will smash you by in 11 days ;)

I will stick back my boys to take care of the Eskimoes - especially since you traded Blair and Masten for peanuts :P
How flowering good is Toga! Get around him...

So after the Strikers great start to the season taking care of the plucky Eskimoes, selection night was an interesting one.
We brought inform Hampton into the side at the expense of Rhyce Shaw who although was good we feel Hampton deserves a shot at the big time. Mature age recuit, Brett Goodes makes his debut for the Strikers after scoring 116 in round 1 for the reserves, Heath Grundy we feel needs to work on getting more possessions and have sent him back to the 2's. Josh Jenkins was very disappointing last week despite being the so-called coach's pet, he could not perform. This gives old man Podsiadly another crack after his impressive performance.
Unfortunately the Strikers suffered this first loss, coming up short against the Bears. We were clear underdogs but put up a good fight. The captains Jack and Sidey couldn't back up their first 2 games and that was the end of it.
On a positive note... JUSTIN WESTHOFF is playing amazing footy right now and did all he could to get the Strikers the win. After cracking the double ton last week he backed it up with 190 :o Crazy stuff...
This weekend was bitter sweet for the Strikers. Coming off the back of a great win against the Tigers, we received news that Ryan Schoenmakers will be out for the season with a knee injury. This is devastating news as he started the season off well and was close to being selected for the best 15. This makes it our 3rd knee injury to Sri Lankan backman, just shocking luck. Our thoughts are with all 3 of them - we are confident they will be firing for the start of 2014.
Quote(8th) TIGERS (1884) v (1901) STRIKERS (7th)
Very close and nervous game this weekend but in the end we came out on top. Some huge performances by Captain Westhoff, Vice Sidey, Brett Goodes and Sam Gibson - all cracking 150. ScottyD also helped out the backs with a game-winning 140 to shut the door on the Tigers. This win sees the Strikers @ three wins, 1 loss and 6th on the table
Some selection issues this week with Mitch Golby again disappointing. Kade Simpson is struggling for form while Josh Jenkins played very well in the twos.

Bad news... Brett Goodes has been comfirmed out for the remainder of the season
He joins Suckling, AJ, Schoey, Kepler, Daisy and Clark watching our games from their lounge rooms.

Damn, just cant cop a break. So many season ending injuries for the Strikers this year.
Wow im in the same boat in BXV with Suckling, McPharlin, Mattner, Bock, Maister, LRT, Tuck, Clark all out and Tippett only just starting.
I have had 20 players to pick from the last 3 weeks
Bad luck tabs, it sucks doesn't it. Always next year ;)

Its true :( still think we have done very well to be 6th on the ladder and in the race for a home final when you consider all these injuries and the age of our squad. With some decent recruiting I think we will be knocking on the door of the top 4 pretty soon 8)
Just in case you didn't know Jay, there's no HGA in finals this year so 6th is almost as good as 5th! ;)
But yeah you've been cruelled by injuries this year, looking at your list I'm sure you'll be up among the best next year. 8)
Strikers give: Steele Sidebotom + Scott Lycett + NAT pick 41
Strikers get: Rory Sloane + Dan Jackson + Matt Rosa
Happy to have completed our first trade for the period! Welcome Rory, Dan and Matt to the club please lads :)
Strikers give: Mitch Clark + Rookie Pick 25
Strikers get: Andrew Mackie + NAT Pick 31 + Rookie Pick 15
Mitch Clark has loads of potential but with his troubling foot injury we feel we had to let me go. Andrew Mackie will be great to strengthen the backline.
Very nice trading so far, Jay. I expect the Strikers to be in top 4 calculations next year for sure.
You should post your Best XV underneath your team list. :P

Depends if big Sauce Jacobs lifts this season, the rucks could be my weak link if he continues his spuddy form...
I reckon Sauce will bounce back. Will average at least 95 I think. :)

So everyone you got rid of last year you are getting back this year??

Nice idea Jay, might have to do one after the trade period concludes ;)
I really like your movements, your mids are looking fairly gun now! Definite top 4 contender 8)
With only two of the Starting XV over 27yo, and a core of young premiums....
..The future's so bright we have to wear shades 8)
Crippled by injuries in 2013, the 'Strikers' will be in the hunt for a flag in 2014 and beyond. ;)

May as well copy and paste last years post, just change 2013 to 2014. Everything else holds true.
Crippled by injuries ever more so in 2014, playing the Prelim. final with over half the squad not available for selection. :'(
Fell just short again in 2015. The Strikers will be looking for flag glory in 2016.

Strikers win the 2019 flag Seasons of building and fine tuning a squad that could go all the way, finally pays off.
The Grand final Captain Bontempelli had an outstanding year. Special mention to old man Simpson, has been the rock in our backline for forever.
