Your approach was much more disciplined than mine would have been and the format made it easy to follow. I do think that last years top 4 are probably this years also, but after that the immense young talent building in some teams will have a big impact. I invest roughly 10 times the effort into this comp than in SC, the keeper aspect allows you to build, recover & destroy and the fun is in the plot Some of us less-fancied sides have already had our LTIs, while the top fancies have yet to enjoy the privilege. Many a twist and turn to come. For some, as Chris has noted, it could be season defining. Hopefully it won't happen, but it is a cruel game. I'll see you in our 2015 grand final playoff

I think I enjoyed enough of the injury 'privlege' last year Terry, so I'd be delighted avoid a repeat. Great job on the previews, Chris. Thoroughly enjoyed them mate.
And yep, there goes Suckers......dammit. Sam Docherty would be valuable right now A little silver lining is the acquisition of Karnezis in a trade, and the masterful drafting of one Danile Currie. BUt boy there is a big holein defense now. Can I tank ?????

Absolutely, after a lengthy investigation of navels the draftcommittee will recommend to the Commishyou be found innocent of all charges but fined $500,000 for being not innocent enough, however you can keep all your picks, even the good ones
Thank God for the mid-season draft and trade period. There might be welcome respite if the injuries continue. And no, we do not partake in tanking around here. In the time honoured AFL tradition, those teams that are struggling are instead playing for the Jesse Hogan Cup. All positional moves, including backmen as forwards, rucks as rovers and midfielders playing ruck will be carefully scrutinised, broken down 400 times and then conveniently brushed under the carpet by ORFFA management.
Great write ups Chris, enjoyed reading every one of them, and I think it will be interesting to go back onreflecton the questions/comments and X-factors in a review at half year?

I have this strange feeling I am being 'volunteered' for further writing tasks. This is definitely starting to sound like my paying job!! That said, the mid-year draft period might be a very good time to do something like this. Reckon that's fine thinking Bandit.

If my memory serves me correctly, Chris volunteered to do the weekly review. Won't hold him to it because we pride ourselves on flexibility here at ORFFA, but it is something he might be able to handball to Bandit to [span style='text-decoration: line-through;]Heppell [span style='text-decoration: line-through;]heppel help out on.
Nah, all good. Reckon I can give it a go. Will have to co-ordinate that weekly write up and scoring too, but it should be relatively easy.
That's the spirit Chris - if you need a hand with lifting paper or changing the toner in the printer just give me a yell!

If for some unforeseen reason that I don't get it done tonight, I'll defs make time tomorrow on my lunch break.
