    Following trade negotiations with the cave men, we are down a Phillips and up a Keays.
    I believe this is called shuffling the deck.

    I believe this is called shuffling the deckchairs on the titanic.

    I know games aren't won on paper mate, but geez, this is about the best and fittest the Misfits have looked in a while. The patience and targeted recruiting is starting to pay off.

    4 years of rebuilding may finally start to reward :)

    Maybe one more backman if Orazio becomes a forward .... a midfielder to step up and a forward to step up. That's not a bad situation to face (and probably common to most ORFFA coaches, needing a guy to step up to become D4, M4, F4 etc)

    In order to observe the experts, the Misfit's draft manager will be attending the AFL draft on Friday, this is despite leftist views in Marble Bar not a junket but a study trip..

    Well, the Misfits now have 11 fwds according to the details leaked so far, ironic given we had to play OOP in that slot on a number of occasions this year

    Only a few more sleeps until Santa's sleigh shoots over the Misfits (according to http://tww.id.au/christmas/sixwhite.html)

    @Len may the jolly old man drop a Prospectus over the side of the sleigh to help you to choose your targets wisely as you trade your way into a balanced lineup for 2017.

    May take more than a Prospectus to get to a balanced Misfits' team. If you are looking for F's Len I have a few :D who are surplus to requirements.

    That was then, this is now; less fit..

    Backs;
    Rory Laird, Zachary Williams, Marco Paparone, Jack Hombsch, Adam Tomlinson, Michael Hartley
    Mids;
    Callan Ward, Lachie Whitfield, Josh Kelly, Marc Murphy, Daniel Rich, Luke Dunstan, David Myers
    Forwards;
    Devon Smith, Jamie Elliott, Caleb Daniel, Orazio Fantasia, Joe Daniher, Will Hoskin-Elliot, Josh Bruce, Lachie Weller, Ben Keays, Matthew Kennedy, Riley Knight, James Rose, Matthew Flynn
    Rucks
    Shaun Hampson, Patrick Ryder (Fwd)

    PSD Draft Picks: 2, 20, 56, 74, 92

    Don't have anyone I am content to delist, so will be looking for trades involving a Fwd for a pick, or a Fwd for a commensurate Def or Mid, if they are not listed as a fwd above they are not for sale :)

    Pick 2 is no longer on the table unless you are genuinely happy paying an exorbitant price.
