So this means that the Werewolves get a compo pick for Damien Cavka retiring as well?

I didn't even know he retired, when did that happen?

But yes, you should also get a compo pick. Will wait for ringo to confirm though.

I missed the announcement too GL.  Apologies to Werewolves otherwise I would have contacted you as well.

Cavka retired in January so Werewolves are entitled to a compensation pick.  Please post selection in this thread when selected so UF can be updated.

That's actually really strong...if you don't get any injuries, will probably push for top 6 potentially :o

But if you do get 2-3 injuries, depth could struggle

For the first time since taking over the horrible mess that was the Staines Steins when I first started I'm really excited about our team's chances. We're not going to win, but there's a chance we could challenge for a Top 8 spot perhaps if we get a bit of luck.

We finally have Mid and Uti lines to be proud of, instead of having to just play whoever's starting for their AFL team. And, our ruck options are probably the best in the league. Defence and depth are still a bit of a worry with most back-ups being improving kids.

Def: Elliot Yeo, Lee Spurr, Ricky Henderson, Nick Vlastuin
Mid: Kieren Jack, Marcus Bontempelli, Jack Redden, Lachie Hunter
Ruc: Max Gawn
Fwd: Jamie Elliott, Jesse Hogan, Josh Jenkins, Adam Tomlinson
Uti: Brodie Grundy, Josh Kelly

E: Tendai Mzungu (D), Callum Mills (M), Rhys Stanley (R), Christian Petracca (F)

That is a nice looking team considering where you came from.  Well done and watch out for the Staines in 2017 as they have some handy developing players as well.

Did I vote yet? I think I said 20% but not too worried and will go with the majority if I haven't.

Re-send the PM to those who haven't I guess, as they may have missed it
