I'm afraid I'll have to once again concede Berlin's season. With my shallow team, I won't be going past Week 1 of finals without Hibberd & Viney confirmed out, with possibly Fyfe not getting up in time too  :-\

Tis a relentless beast, Worlds.

Sounds stupid sitting in 2nd at the moment but I've lost too many first-choice defenders this year (due to poor form or injury) to challenge much in the finals I think :-\ It's one thing having our midfield fit and firing but I can't have spuds like Roarke Smith and Tom Clurey playing down back if I'm to match it with the big guns.

Tom Jonas (90 avg, injured), Tom Cutler (82 avg, suspended), James Aish (75 avg, injured), Sam Mayes (80 avg last year, dropped), Jayden Hunt (70 avg last year, dropped)

Then backups: Easton Wood (injured), Jackson Thurlow (killing two's, no opportunity at Geelong), Tom Williamson (injured), Ciaran Byrne (injured)

Sounds like you need to bring in some defenders, and can probably offload a mid

We should talk  ;)

Getting just two of the above back would be pretty handy but might have to chat at the end of the year ;)

Edit forgot Tommy Cutler as well :D

After i trade pick 1 for Andrews I'll have harris, lmac, mills, blicavs, Carlisle, showertard, bowes. I'm sure we won't work something out toges.

Meanwhile the premiership favourites are likely to welcome back Stringer, Sandilands, Darcy, Griffen, Moore, Stewart, Andrews and McKenna this week with McVeigh a chance for the first week of finals.

I believe it can be modeled by the equation; y = 2x + 1, where y is the number of consecutive years without success, and x is the number of consecutive years where you complain about not being a wxvs coach

Tokyo just took out the Asian cup.

Taking out NDT Seoul Jing.

That is some achievement its not like they are in the weak AAP conference.

Zach Williams back next year. Whitfield getting dpp. Just a shame they wont get a top pick as they almost made finals.

How many times can someone apply for a Worlds team without success... Salty much.
