Roughy out for half the year stings Orazio2Joe. Ouch.

Oh ffs! Now I know how Paul Roos felt about Christian Petracca.

 

[MightyDons4]

Dang that's unlucky.

 

[monty1104]

Anyone wanna trade?

When I pick up Liam Jones we'll talk.

That's more of a wasted pick than my Roughead one.

 

[monty1104]

12hr has passed. Next pick?

Yep, someone tag eth in SVP

Early look at the teams and I reckon BomberTime has set the pace. Brutal looking midfield

Kicking to a forward line with the agility of the Titanic.

 

[BomberTime]

Haha yeah the forward line is not great so far. But that midfield Orazio2Joe is not bad at all. Still back Cloke and Patton to kick more goals than Roughy....sorry too soon?

 

[eth-dog]

I'm going like shit, I know.

 

[MightyDons4]

Was tossing up between Zaka and Edwards, guess who goes next pick...

 

[Mercuri Rising]

Confession:

In the spreadsheet where I've got my team and a few shortlists for the positions I still need to fill (that's not the bad part), I've just put in drop-down menus to pick players for my 22. I'm officially past the point of no return for being a footy tragic internet keyboard warrior. But it makes things SO EASY for my tiny brain, I'm not even sorry.

I'd still back Roughy to kick more goals than Patton this season. Gonna have to top up my key forward stocks in the coming rounds though. Unfortunately the cupboard is pretty bare. Any suggestions that aren't Liam Jones are welcome at this point!

 

[Mercuri Rising]

10 picks a day for the next two weeks (well, 15 days) at least gets us to everyone having a full team of 22 before the NAB Challenge starts. Go for gold.

 

[Mercuri Rising]

Commiserations BrewSmackerVeiny. Two KPPs down so far, and neither are eth-dog's...

 

[Shermy]

ouch, I think i'll go with a mosquito fleet across the park and just hope that the weather is shit when they play.

 

[BomberTime]

Is Freddy still involved do we know?

 

[Mercuri Rising]

Is Freddy still involved do we know?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He's been on plenty of times since his last pick, who knows.

Can we get the OP updated?

 

[Mercuri Rising]

Can we get the OP updated?

Ah yep, sorry. 2 secs

 

[Mercuri Rising]

Also can we get the available players list updated? I know it's probably a PITA....

Got updated two hours before you posted, but I'll try to do better.

Still a few like Sidebottom and K jack in there.

Lol, I knew there'd be some corrections coming. Glad someone's doing my work for me.

R. Murphy too, apologies to Kakkle.
