Thursday – Early news
Teamsheets have dropped! Congrats if you managed to make the Grand Finals in your leagues, or if you are in the running for a hat, or even the competetion outright, good luck! Sheezel has officially been ruled out for the last game if you held. Unfortunately Rankine too will miss the last with concussion protocols, and Houston who did the concussing is out reported. No a debut, but pies will call up rookie Ed Allan (mid) $200k) if you want a budget basement rookie who is actually playing.

Also something I probably should have announced earlier, but didnt, apologies for lateness and a few mistakes the last few weeks. I have happy life news, I am the new father of a beautiful baby girl. With a few months of not exactly sleeping a lot I havent been my usual higher standard. Apologies .
Cheers Shags.
Legend! Great work, mate!
Congratulations Shags on the wonderful news. There is no need for apologies, family first.
