Honeyball...looking to expaaaand, plenty of peeps on here who could apply for that, Wogitalia, Feeritself, NT Thunder, KLo, Rowsus, and countless others who run this show and contribute regularly. Would take up a lot of time though, and would require extensive research, you'd want to be paid well for the effort.
That's why I love this place, because the contributors/founders/ admins don't get paid for all their efforts, they do it for the love of Fantasy Sports....cheers guys.

Couldn't agree more Russty and there is so much good talent here that makes researching a pleasure. Have you heard anything about Oliver. Rumours are starting to gain momentum.I heard it at training but dismissed it .Apparently has something that flares up at any time and could keep him out a very long time. Going to try a few with substantial knowledge but already it is being kept in house ,

Hi Neil, no haven't heard anything about Clarry, gee I hope it's not true or nothing serious, if he's out for a bit wonder if it'd be worth replacing him with Petracca? Let us know if you find out anything mate.

'Pretty unsatisfactory situation' at Hawthorn football club

The author of the explosive Hawthorn racism report has been arrested and is expected to be charged on summons for allegedly stealing from a body set up to help indigenous communities.
Victoria Police financial crime squad detectives arrested former Richmond forward Phil Egan on Tuesday.
The Herald Sun revealed in December that he was under investigation over claims he fraudulently obtained hundreds of thousands of dollars from Murray Valley Aboriginal Co-operative, including via a bogus invoices scheme.

“Detectives from the financial crime squad have arrested a man today as part of an investigation into allegations of fraud relating to the management of a Robinvale-based organisation,” a Victoria Police spokesman said on Tuesday.
“A 60-year-old Aberfeldie man was interviewed earlier today by investigators. He has been released and is expected to be charged on summons with fraud-related offences. The investigation remains ongoing.”

Phil Egan is accused of stealing from a body set up to help indigenous communities.
The alleged frauds involving Egan are understood to have taken place around 2010-2012, during which time he was a senior manager at the co-operative, including chief executive for a period.
The expected charges will have a significant impact on the ongoing AFL-commissioned independent investigation into the Hawks report’s conclusions and processes.
A lawyer for one of the accused Hawthorn officials said in December that charges against Egan would be a “game-changer”.
“Storm clouds are gathering over the integrity of the Hawthorn FC-commissioned report,” the lawyer said.


Egan has been arrested and is expected to be charged on summons.
“If Mr Egan is proved to have engaged in serious wrongdoing, such as to have harmed his own First Nations’ community by the removal of funds, what confidence can anyone have in any investigation process he has managed?”
Egan’s damning report on Hawthorn’s handling of indigenous players stunned the football world when it was leaked in September.
The report concluded that between 2010 and 2016, Alastair Clarkson, Chris Fagan and Jason Burt used “bullying and intimidation” against Indigenous players and their partners, two of whom had been pregnant and lost their unborn children during the “traumatic events”.

It described some incidents as so serious as “to amount to human rights abuses”, triggering Clarkson and Fagan to temporarily stand down from their senior coach roles at North Melbourne and Brisbane Lions respectively, despite both categorically denying any wrongdoing.
In a statement released in December when the allegations surfaced, Egan declared: “I categorically deny that I have stolen from the Murray Valley Aboriginal Co-operative in any way whatsoever.”

I wonder if this alters the way he plays? Can't have your captain being suspended for 4 weeks. 😁
No more flying Karate Kicks for Toby, would never have thought they'd put the C on him, thought it would've been Kelly if it was just going to be one guy. Let's see if bad Toby can get through a season without doing something silly :)

Also not common to leave them rotting in a forward pocket watching the game fade away as they lose clearance after clearance! Although it must be added that they did the same thing to Coniglio for most of his captaincy so if anyone's going to do it, GWS has to be the hot favourite.

You know what I think would be great, if the SC site allowed the user to input a predicted season average against players to help determine structure and starting line-ups.
Add to this, a shadow screen.
You have your team screen, then another screen that replicates your team screen, but allows to fiddle and change things, without actually changing the structure of your current team!
