I've also had to inform Jen that Rhys Stanley is out for the year .... tell you what - all going well her 2016 model Lilacs team is starting to look increasingly impressive given the kids and then the guys coming back from injury.
A trade has been schemed (if that is a verb) between Darraweit and Whitsundays. Young forward Nathan Hrovat is heading to the green pastures of the Guim, while Kamdyn McIntosh is going to thaw out further north. Hopefully this is a mutually beneficial trade that fills needs at both clubs. Welcome Nathan. Darraweit's ratio of guys aged 24 and under vs guys aged 25 or more remains at 16/12.
Apologies for the delay folks! I've got a few minutes now to have a look at the free agents, but I doubt it would be enough time to pick 1. I'll have a better chance to have a look in a cpl hours when my kid goes to bed. I'll be back then. My apologies again!
The delay is all a bit fortuitous ant since the time allowed Chris and myself to close a mutually beneficial deal and thus I can reconsider my last pick.
That's good TiB! So, pick 76... Now that he's been picked for Sydney, I can't go past <table border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' width='493' style='color: #000000; width: 370pt;] <tr height='17' style='height: 12.75pt;] <td class='xl73' style='height: 12.75pt; padding: 0px; border: 0px; text-align: left;]Tom DERICKX Even though it sounds like Pyke's injury is not bad, and Longmire has said recently he wants to give a few of his backup rucks a go... So Derrickx will probably only play this week, but he's worth a shot for the rest of year.

Top notch as always Len. And cheers to Fitzy for coord of some of the trade side of things. Hope the concurrent draft/trade thing wasn't too onerous. I liked the concept and I reckon it might have helped speed the draft up by having coaches in and around the site more.

I have fallen a bit behind with the ORFFA awards as I have given priority to the articles I write for True Sainters celebrating St Kilda milestones. I will be able to start catching up on the ORFFA awards after the Gilbert article is published.

Nicely done Dean, plenty of work and well researched writing, had to read it in three sections, like a good novel
