I'm not complaining about the rule but I am hating on it hard at the moment for a different reason!

My supercoach, dreamteam and ultimate footy team have all been rooted because of it!

I had Connors and Foley both in my team combined for [censored] all possies, and I can tell you through out the year this will actually wreck games!

It's semi- reasonable for the Friday game because you find out about the sub an hour before the game but for every other game they only have to name it the hour before their game thus no way for us to change it.

I'm blaming it if I have bad fantasy years :D

    Yes it's a tricky one. Unless you're glues to your computer screen or Iphone all weekend trying to glean information, it's pot luck.

    Even then you can't be sure. Neil Craig talked up Andy Otten as a sub for tonight's game but apparently he started.

    Throws a real spanner in the works and means that you're 7th, 8th, 9th players in each position need to be getting games.

    Ps ... Try not to get the sh1ts with Foley. Apparently he was already doing plenty of that himself!

    It sucks, but that's part of the skill, at least in Ultimate footy. You have to take your backups seriously. I have 3 great centers.... and one more really good one I could trade easily, but I'm keeping him for the three weeks I lose the other ones.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
