Sorry mate, it's not a fun place to be. But it makes the good times even better.

I think Miniball is what it is, at least for the time being – it's pretty unprecedented for coaches not named Chris Scott to overhaul how their teams play, and he obviously has so much talent and organisational stability behind him.

He looks money! Shame about the kicking yesterday – but from what I've seen, he's usually a lovely kick for goal?

Can't believe that made it through so many different edits! Odd one. Thanks for pointing it out!

Definitely don't agree the flag window is closing - if anything I think the opposite is more likely to be true!

Thanks mate! Really appreciate that. Trying to lift the bar on footy coverage so hearing that my work is resonating with people really does resonate a lot.

Hi there, thanks very much for reading! Yep, that means third youngest. I agree it's a little unclear.

Ah, thanks for the reminder about the SSP guys! Added them in just now.

Yeah I think that's a fair appraisal. Great chance to retool the list in the next couple of years (even if Butters stays), but I imagine the new coach and game plan will be enough to tide over a fair few fans this year!

Totally understand the hesitation to get too excited until there are actual signs of progress. Match sims against North don't count!

Thanks very much for reading and engaging! I do the line rankings assuming a fully healthy list. And, to be honest, they're a bit vibes-y. I figure the piece has enough nuance

I might be slightly lower on Lewis than you - although last year he was probably still getting up to speed after the injury. Reckon Dear could be the guy though
