Awesome work mate... Although Kelly is still a Bunyip. Update... yep. Kelly is delisted from Essendon... AFL website was a bit slow. Bugger.
Nice work @YAD69 For your next update, I prefer the sound of Korumburra holding 5 of the first 21 picks in the upcoming PSD Or 23.8% of the first 21 picks sounds good to me too! Hahaa. Cheers
Great write up and effort as usual mate. The Bulls have done very well indeed. Only time will tell if offloading Hall was the right move or not!
One of my fav write ups that get done, cheers @YAD69 ! Removing trade pieces that went out the door as they came in, Serengeti list changes should be; Arrived: J Riewoldt, T Langdon, J Harbrow, S Reid, PSD 8, 17, 38, & 50 Departed: M Clark (Delisted), C O'Shea (Delisted), N Vlastuin, L Dunstan, A Oxley, J Silvagni PSD 6, 42, 45 & 60, MSD Rnd 1 & Rnd 2 It's been a busy period for the Buff!
Just having a glance through and there's some serious list turnover going on, Bulls and Barcrawlers in particular moving on close to half their lists. Vikings looking the early favourites for 2017 after adding a couple of premium backs to a list full of quality youth and still taking 5 picks to the draft.
Buffalo's, Blowflys & Whalers have also had big movements. With 52 PSD's and then 36 Mini picks (total 88 players) there will be even more new faces in FU teams. Interesting season ahead ; )
