Well this is it, the last go around in what has been best described as a completely rubbish season for me as coach. 3 wins, 16 loses and not a hope in hell of making the finals next week even if half the other coaches somehow fell over.
But still, I've loved it. I've loved the footy chat around the office, the increased interest in players I barely new before, the smack talk over Facebook messenger, it's been glorious. As terrible as I've played this year (and last) I am really looking forward to doing it all over again come footy season 2023.
But before that, I've got to put in my final team. And much to the chagrin of my opponent this week (hi Lobsters!) another coach has jumped on board with some timely news and suggestions...
THE ORIGINAL PLAN
The plan was, play the highest averages across my team and that's it. I figured if you worked hard across the last 19 rounds, you deserved a go in the last game before the Flavorless Flav's shut up shop.
However a few things happened across the week that killed that idea, namely:
McGrath got Covid
Something happened to Drew
God only knows where Dusty is
I've still been itching to get rid of Franklin
Right, so new plan time. Luckily Tysonic Hedgehogs decided he wanted to give the Lobsters a challenge and jumped on board to show me who was out and who I should put in. So there's a couple of new players lacing up the boots for one game this Flav's season:
SAM DRAPER - RUC
Originally I had free agent Rohan Marshall in this role....until Tyson pointed out that he too was injured. Clever me. So Sam takes over because he's free and healthy, go Sam.
CALLUM WILKIE - DEF
Another Tyson suggestion at the expense of Drew. That's pretty much it really.
Which means the final team shape looks like this:
Godspeed gentlemen, it's been an honour to badly coach you all so far...
SO HOW'D WE GO?
Thumping win or narrow crushing defeat? You can find out the fate of the Flavorless Flav's over at my new Fantasy Sports blog Coach Clueless. Come on over, I still have no idea!
