2023 - Preliminary Finals Lodgement Thread

Preliminary Finals

IMPORTANT NOTE - PLEASE READ

AFL teams will be announcing their teams at 6:20pm AEST on Thursday (Wednesday for Thursday night games)
Sunday teams are confirmed at 5pm AEST on Friday (Saturday for Monday games)



We WILL NOT be using a partial lockout, please read the rule below.

You are encouraged to name your full team at the start of the round and edit accordingly as teams drop each day. I understand this is not possible for everyone, hence why it would be preferred that people name their full team to begin with.

If you make any edits to your team, please do so in a new 'quote' post.

There is no loopholing allowed in ADT

- With Fri-Sun games back, you can name four (4) emergencies.

- In the event a coach either submits an incomplete team or fails to submit a team at all without contacting the admin, they will receive a warning/strike and their submission from last week will be used. Penalties for this can be found in the rules post (no sacking coaches because we barely have enough as is). It's finals so I hope this doesn't happen




Friday night FULL LOCKOUT at 7.50pm AEST

Preliminary Finals - A Test of Resolve

Dallas Demons Dealt With
Dallas Coyotes (1960) defeated Washington Senators (1742)
A flexing of the muscles from Dallas as they dispel the demons of 2022, breezing past Washington to book themselves a ticket in the Big Time! Captain Tim English lead the way as he's done all season with a monster 146, but was well supported by Sinclair, Bolton and Flanders. Washington posted a very respectable score, but they just didn't have that explosiveness of Dallas' top dogs, and ultimately that was the difference. 3rd place is an improvement from last year for the Senators, but they'll be hungry to go one better next season (maybe). Dallas will be licking their lips as they look to gain much needed reinforcement in the midfield for the Grand Final; Walsh, De Goey and Setterfield all coming back? We'll see.

El Paso Not up to Snuff
Springfield Isotopes (1867) defeated El Paso Pioneers (1444)
A limp end to El Paso's spirited charge, but as alluded to last week, it was simply a case of contenders versus pretenders. A 400 point walloping was probably not on the cards, but aside from Tom Green, no one responded to the challenge. Perhaps like Essendon, they simply ran out of puff at the end. Springfield posted a big score of their own with an 1867 spearheaded by Marshall, Newman, Amon and Laird, but with a few too many passengers for FTC's liking. Interesting to see how they'll shape up next week, but they're the only team that has beaten Dallas this season, and the only ones who looked likely to do it again. (aside from Guadalajara) Bring on the GF!
