    Thank you sire, that would have been some patterned effort if I'd managed 3 again this year :p
    It's taken a very long time to recover from an awful first draft..

    1322 - my best score for the year by the looks. Team isn't entirely off the rails, which is nice.

    Congrats Len on the win as well. Much deserved, good to see some evolution in a few of the teams this year, improvement and/or moves up the ladder.

    At least my mob can score a bit when I can put a decent team on the park. There's a basis of a good team to work with, now I just have to trim the deadwood and take a chance with some kids and trades in the coming draft periods.

    Guys like Stratton, Greenwood, Gleeson, Blair etc - they aren't going to drive a team forward (though they are pretty good back-ups I have to admit). Vickery's going to finally get the chop - so good! Bastinac hasn't kicked on this season ... KJack will probably get a reprieve given he hasn't be 100% - he's "good depth!"

    But after grabbing prospects in the draft like Naismith, EVW, Witherden, even Astbury (who is young in a football sense) ... why not grab some more and bank them for future seasons?

    A guy like Witherden might not play this year, EVW is ahead of projections; but the core of my team are all so young at the moment that they'll improve together and then the planning for regeneration can happen too.

    Given I've barely been around of late and putting my team in hasn't been a massively involved task thus far this season, I was perhaps thinking that the decision to continue this year might've been misguided.

    But nah, got some drafting and team building/re-building to do now. Gotta scan that free agent list! Gotta see if anyone wants some positional depth!

    Hope all you lovely ORFFA coaches are well. Stay good :)

    Bloody hell @Fitzy im trying to tank for draft picks!

    Good on my lads for nicking one...

    And @graeme you can indeed get beef bacon, I had it during my tour of duty in the Middle East... along with Turkey bacon. Both are forgettable

    I can teach you effective tanking, been doing it for years, just cost you a first round draft pick :p
