When do teams come out for this week's finals? Is it tonight since they start tomorrow or does Thursday's teams come out today and the rest on Thursday night as usual?

Article about the SC winner in Perthnow. Sounds like trading in Nick Roo was his winning move.
My own pending move prior to the Sloane suspension was going to be Gunston to NRoo - oh the luck :p

Would love to see his starting team!
I can't even remember mine. I had it somewhere but can't find it :( Is there a way to go back and look?

Yes, you can just go back and look at your scores from each round on the my team tools menu on the right hand side of the home screen.
You can look at your scoring players and add in your non scoring players. Just prepare to be disappointed as you realize how many points you left on the pine for each round.

Link to another site but here is the 2016 winners analysis!

Starting Side
Shaw, Laird, JJ, Weitering, Dea, Brown (Hartley, AMT)
Danger, Ablett, Hanners, Priddis, Rocky, B.Crouch, Mills, B.Kennedy (Menadue, Gresham, Davis)
Goldy, Gawn (Wyatt)
Barlow, Robinson, Hall, Wells, McCarthy, Kerridge (Adams, M.Cox)
Bank - $15k

On the whole a terrible starting side with picks like B.Crouch & Robinson but the structure was spot on.
His early trades getting in Parker, Zerrett early were the key winning moves for him to put him into contention
Then his final moves of getting N.Roo, Dahlhaus and Treloar late were the good choices that won it for him in the end.

Thanks for posting Bomber. Plenty to take from that info and analysis. Aggressive (but not sideways) trading seemingly the key.

I'm not so sure refraining from sideways trading was the main thing. I think one of his best decisions was Barlow to Zerrett in Round 3 (and also Robbo to Buddy in R2). In hindsight how many of wish we had rid Barlow in R3 and just been over and done with that rollercoaster?

He undid his good work though going Wells to Barlow in R14 and then Barlow to Docherty (essentially) the next round though which goes to show even the winner can get away with a blunder.

My impression is that it was more fortuitous than strategic compared to other years. He seemed to piggy back off some nice little hotstreaks and was pretty quick to cut players.

Here's an initial comparison with how I started:

Simpson, Laird, Bartel, Lonergan, AMT, Adams (Brown, Ruggles)
Danger, Ablett, Pendles, Parker, Rockliff, Libba, Mills, Menadue (Hewett, Davis, Petracca)
Goldy, Gawn (Wyatt)
Martin, Barlow, Hall, Wells, Kerridge, BenKen (McCarthy, Ueber)

Apart from Rocky and Lonergan initially, was pretty happy with this starting side. Will try and do a it of a write-up soon :)
