So did you give up for a little bit to have that many trades left, or did you just get to after the byes with not much to have to do like most of us?

It was definitely the best year I can remember in regards injuries/suspensions in the last third of the season.

I actually managed to sneak back into the top 1000 without trades for 3/4 weeks! Had to rely on the likes of Gordon/ET though to get me over the line after a few injuries to Teddy and the like

Yeah after the last bye I only made one trade between then and the last game and that was one almost or the hell of it. It was Macca to Friend. I was happy with my team and had J Turbo as my 18th man I felt like there wasn't really anything else I could do except bring in Cleary for Milford his first week but I don't anyone excepted Cleary to do as well as he did even with all the wraps on him. Like look at Luke Brookes massive wraps but shit at fantasy

Archer is voting Welshy.
Br en nominated you.
Chewie got a mention.

It's a firm grasp but not a fait accompli.  Not sure how I feel about that 

I actually havent nominated anyone for any awards yet

I better get onto that.

Might have gotten away with it when I was still in L1, us L7 plebs would just look silly wearing that. I might get a trade rage one printed though.
Actually a cows with guns shirt would be pretty good.

Indeed 

Just saw the doco, good one Milch, pity they didn't give you more airtime, I was more interested in what you were saying. You should have wore a T-shirt like like this though:

I don't think my thoughts really matched well with the focus of the rest of the doco, as interesting as they may have been to fantasy players

Although I think I did say a few things prompted by talk of the players having GPS track them all the time.

Here is the AFL version. I think that sort of focus would have been more suited to my views - and would have been interesting to see an NRL stats caller in action. But was good fun anyway

In terms of fantasy skill and ability yes.

Unsure why I upvoted this... Someone needs to create an "eat a bag of dicks" emoji

Surely you meant "always good to see a face on a post."

Hearing Ponga will line up on the wing. Then again if the Parma thread is anything to go off his last name could be pongy or pongi
