With player positions, are we sticking what we did last season? Or are we going to allow new changes when dpp get added in rd 3?

One randomish player out for the season, you have my full pity and sympathy! ;)

More a personal view rather than a fantasy view.

The kid is a unique talent (a more technically advanced version of Deledio - although not as athletic), I don't know if it would convert well in fantasy football (only averaged 97ppg at the National Championships), but I was willing to take the punt on him with pick 4.

Again, not best 22 for my fantasy side, more upset that he won't debut this season - his development was fantastic over 2015 and he was one of the Giant's best against the mature bodies in the NEAFL.

The Giant's say that his welfare is their priority so I'm hoping they don't rush his recovery (from a fantasy football view, I'm more worried about Gold Coast rushing O'Meara)

Before anybody says it, yes 6 teams have 6 home games and 6 have 5 home games, but that'll be reversed in 2017.

Soonish

I'm a busy guy ok haha

[kilbluff1985]

thought i'd still be able to make the top 6 but not with the injuries we have

looks like Chicago trading Rosa for my first pick will work out well for them

not fussed next year will be unstoppable

MEDIA RELEASE FROM THE SANTIAGO COCKERELS

20 May 2016 - 3:51pm AEST

Today the Santiago Cockerel's Board of Directors decided that the Cockerels Football Franchise will be following the lead of the Carolina Panthers and relocating the Franchise to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, during the 2016-17 off-season.

The Club will represent the entire state of Wisconsin in the AMERICA XVIII's SC competition as the "Wisconsin Cockerels Football Club". This will hereby support the recent trend of centralising the competition and enables the club to retain its status as an Eastern Conference side.

The club would like to thank the city of Santiago for their support from 2013-2016 and hopes to retain its supporters in Latin America long after the move.

Accordingly, Cockerel's coach PSK, now in his 3rd season at the helm, had this to say;
"The move seems strategically important as it will reduce the stress of our away games north of the boarder and should hopefully expose the club to a larger target market".

I could be realistic and say that this means nobody turns up to any games and you don't get a HGA, but I'm not that mean :P

RIP Santiago.

I think I drafted that list pretty damn well, some of the later picks turned out be to guns!
