With the start of the season ticking ever closer and since Ill be spending the rest of the arvo in the <a href="http://www.fantasyfooty.net.au/wa/home">TS fantasy footy draft[/url] , I thought I should post up a few reminders.

First cab off the rank, I guess, would be the TooSerious articles in the Herald Sun. Particularly for those of you who are a bit newer to Supercoach, these articles give a pretty solid base from which to structure and plan your team.
