Sad news for the footy World today. Thoughts go to Phil's Wife, Daughter and also his Son, who it appears will have to live out his days carryong a burden none if us could imagine.

Onto the lighter side of life...

Really stoked with my decision to hold Sloane this week, so I can swap for Sidebottom next week instead of bringing in JPK! I knew he'd stink it up :-? Eek!

Terrible news about Phil Walsh. This has just come out from the AFL

THE AFL has announced the abandonment of Sunday's Adelaide-Geelong in light of the death of Phil Walsh.

The following rules will apply for AFL Fantasy for this game.

- All Adelaide and Geelong players listed to play this weekend will be awarded their season average;

- Any new players (who have not played previously) will be awarded points in line with their break-even score;

- Throughout the weekend, Geelong and Adelaide players will appear as ‘DNP’, until the points are awarded at the end of the round (not during the game as per normal);

- Lock out will be lifted slightly later than usual on Sunday night.

Will this apply for SC as well? To me the best option was to postpone the whole fantasy round entirely, play this week in round 19 and then shift SC grand final back to round 23.

Anyone heard any news on dream team. Ranked 37th and haven't heard yet

Still can't believe it. Terrible.
SC says on app best 18 will count

BEST 18 SCORING - ROUND 14
- Due to the cancellation of the Round 14 match between Adelaide and Geelong, Best 18 scoring will be in effect for Round 14. Your team will score points from your Best 18 players (top 18 scores) selected in your Starting 22 only, from any position (including any Emergencies required). Click here for more information.

Apart from not being quite match fit, he looked good and moved well. Shoulder didn't seem to bother him too much. Took a couple of nice marks with arms out stretched. Kicked a great goal. The type of goal we have seen him kick numerous times. Had some nice goal assists. Not sure if he will get cheap enough for me to pick him up though.

Are crows and cats played locked at the time the game was originally due to start or can they be traded out at anytime? The reason I'm wondering is I have the option to trade out Sloane for beams if I need the points but would rather get ablett when he drops a bit more. Cheers

I wouldn't touch Ablett, he can't tackle and is prone to being hurt in a good tackle or bump

You just may be right about his being loathe to tackle, but 1st game back, I'll take his 31 disposals @81%DE, 11 clearances, 3 goals and 3TACKLES, every day of the week....
