It's always interesting to play this game preseason but in reality it always seems like we have half a dozen best 22 go down injured in Jan/Feb. Usually with mid to long term injuries. I'll wait till about a week out from week one to make my prediction.

Seems ironic to redraft Byrnes but have no place for Steele. I know who I'd rather have on our list despite their age difference and the size of their contracts.
The biggest fault in the fixturing is plain for everyone to see. All properly organized competitions revolve around teams playing each other twice, home and away. Continually increasing the number of teams in the AFL only makes that possibility a pipe dream. Until then team placement on the...

Since Misson departed Lyon has upgraded from RTB to El Supremo with all his new temporary roles.
Let's see if that holds up to the trade deadline.
