Yeah good bunch thanks mate. Kane Williamson (NZ)

To answer the Q HT, I was in Europe for a month loving life and now I've back and started teaching prep. Probably no use apologising to you lot, but I feel like I've let the standard down (i.e. nfi that I already had 4 bowlers!). Kohli popped into mind about two weeks ago but just slipped the brain, amazing indeed. Good get Rogue.

JCB - shocked to hear of your ordeal but glad to hear that you're on the mend. If you log into the UF website, your list will come up when you click on Pre Season Draft and you can chose your keepers from there.

Is it too positive to say that the AFL desperately needs a good news story and a signal of normal integrity in the game, thus requiring an announcement of the innocence of the MFC?

Surely best case is that they find out that what they were injected with didn't contain banned substances?

Essendon and one player - as far as the AFL is currently aware.

Just checking. Something journalists should do more of

Did you read the article, Jack?

Geez - the more I look at selections, the more I realise that I probably shouldn't have put my hand up for this!

Wasn't he upgraded?

Tino Best W.I. No prizes for guessing how/why I chose him.

Good call on the 12th man. I bags Andy Bichel. Sorry I've been useless on my pick - will have to have a thinksy.

I think I've missed something, but the old ASADA chief said that its all up to the laboratory now -if the supplements are found to be fine it'll be ok, but if they're banned then Pandora's box will have been opened. What substance is he talking about? Have things been confiscated? From where?

Thanks HT and all. Might wait and see a bit how he's going. After the trip and starting teaching prep, I haven't had time to follow footy/best XI

Are they alleged to have taken the supplements in the Vault?

Who he means I had last time, so Nasher's a mountain of months behind...

Good to see it's been taken in the spirit it was given, well done lads. Except for you, HT. I was being serious about you.

Is Trengove cooked, HT?

If you're seriously talking up Guptill I give up. There's supporting your choices but then there's just being silly. Will he compliment your strong middle order because they're good at cricket and he's not? TD - if you're batting Wade at 6 you should just stop now (note; that is more intended as a word advice to Australian selectors, but still applies).

The B-grade NSW player has taken home his 4th Alan Border medal - averaging over 70 as captain.

Given that our keepers are still up in the air pending draft/holding out for possible NAB cup injuries I think we should be able to trade whoever? That said, my view is that we shouldn't be able to trade outside keepers for RP's reason - they're not really keepers if we can keep them and trade to upgrade from outside the 4.

I'm thinking Stafanie Taylor for my WI pick but will have to do a bit more research!

Beams, Shuey, Trengove and Prestia* looking like my keepers.
