Expect a lot to be cut. it was their worst 5-6 players each week that cost them.
More than 1/4 out of four teams is still pretty good. I think a few more probably deserved to make it in there.
The problem is that - The squad includes a lot of mid range players - Each player in the squad's weighting is only 1, stars count for as much numerically as fringe blokes - Team strength isn't determined by the top 50%. Only as strong as your weakest link. In all these cases, the Bulls suffer here. - their weakest players were what won it for them. Their worst 6-7 >>>>>>>>>>>>> birds/bears >>>>>>> rbs - they've got very few mid range players. When 13-15 players are cut for the final squad, I'd expect only 1-2 Bulls to be cut tops while the RBs could lose up to 6-7 - Bulls also have a few genuine stars (oz/schaw/diggler/son/himann/alessi) which should count for more in determining squad strength, and does, but as each player here only counts for 1 it doesn't look as so in this.
All australian isn't on activity. Look at his stats, tell me any half backer than comes close. A lot of Bulls were really unlucky. Chung was the stiffest, very few pockets did well here and only 1-2 were selected. He was definitely stiff. Jager was the next best mid I'd say, him, Rask & Dforum were very very unlucky, Manera would have probably got someone like Ryabovol's spot had he kicked straight throughout the year, that was the difference and Harding v Eds was a flip of a coin - harding slightly better up the ground but eds slightly better defensively and scored a few more goals. A lot of unlucky blokes too.
The other selection I didn't like was James. 3.8 disposals per game. Would like to see a comparison with him and Chung. Harding extremely stiff. Really rate his work.

The only sim I'm remotely good in I was going to ragequit Cricsim if I didn't make this squad. You can all thank Skippos for me not RQ-ing.
