Things are getting underway earlier than planned!

Qualifying Final â€" First Finals Taste

A fantastic win for the Cobras in our first ever final! The lads worked their way into a preliminary final, and the chance to play on the biggest day of them all. Trent Cotchin won the Finals Champion Medal with a mammoth 175.

Things are seriously tight at the top! A three horse race is going down to the wire! Selwood still with a handy 3 vote lead could be the difference.

We have a new leader!
Kennedy storms to the front with one game left. I haven’t been this nervous since the Grand Final!
Watson still in touching distance, but probably between Selwood and Kennedy now.

lol, amazing stuff :)

[Purple 77]

I'll take that 5k please  ;)

[Torpedo10]

I bet 1 Million on each, lol.

[CrowsFan]

I bet 1 Million on each, lol.

Yes but you bet 1 million on each player, which is 46 million bet. The money you received from the 3 winners are:
Watson - (2.50/3) x 1,000,000 = $833,333.33
Selwood - (3.50/3) x 1,000,000 = $1,166,666.67
Kennedy - (5.00/3) x 1,000,000 = $1,666,666.67
Total = $3,666,666.67

But since you bet 46 million you end up down $42,333,333.33 :P

First Trade Week Over

A relatively busy first trade week for the Cobras saw two trades completed.

The first trade completed, was with the Cairo Sands.
This trade saw young, talented defender Jacob Brennan come to the Cobras, as well as national draft pick 78.
Unfortunately, Lindsay Thomas was traded in return. We thank Lindsay for the great year he has had at the club.
Nevertheless, the Cobras are excited about this trade because we attained a very promising defender that helps alot with depth, and future ambitions.

The second trade we completed was with the Buenos Aires Armadillos.
This trade saw Billie Smedts, Nathan Vardy and national draft pick 15 come to the Cobras in exchange for Jack Grimes.
Losing Grimes is of course very dissapointing for the club. He's an excellent player as shown by his 9th finish in our best and fairest vote count.
But we believe that the acquisition of two of the best youngsters around right now in Smedts and Vardy makes up for it. Vardy and Smith will be the leagues best ruck combination in just a matter of years. The 15th draft pick is of course also very handy.
