Without further ado, here is your final edition of ‘The Weekend That Was’ for season 2023!
The Weekend That Was
The Weekend That Was: Round 23
Round 23... The penultimate round of the season in fantasy land! By now plenty of coaches will have 'silly season' well and truly underway but those who press on have the opportunity for ultimately bragging rights! Let alone those in contention for a hat / major prize - stakers are high this week. 23 down, 1 to go... For the second last time this season it is time for The Weekend That Was!
The Weekend That Was: Round 22
Round 22... Week two of finals in fantasy land - whilst many push ahead to prelims with bigger fish to fry, it'll be curtains for many as they crash out and head on annual leave for a little while! As always, plenty to rant and rave about! 22 down, 2 to go... Time for The Weekend That Was!
The Weekend That Was: Round 21
Round 21... The dawn of fantasy finals! Plenty of coaches will be moving on to next week but for others it'll be a case if coulda, woulda, shoulda as they launch into Mad Monday (not exactly a terrible outcome!). As always, plenty to unpack! 21 down, 3 to go… Must be time for The Weekend That Was!
The Weekend That Was: Round 20
Round 20... The penultimate round of the home and away season in Fantasy land! Coaches will be cock-a-hoop for the most part, with some big scores from some of the biggest dawgs in the game! As always, plenty to recap on! 20 down, 4 to go… Must be time for The Weekend That Was!
The Weekend That Was: Round 19
Round 19... A little less carnage than round 18 but fair to say plenty of coaches were not spared (again!) leading to the fielding of sub-par players for this time of year! Also, R.I.P. Walsh and/or Ashcroft owners. 19 down 5 to go… Must be time for The Weekend That Was!
The Weekend That Was: Round 18
Round 18... Serong, Cameron, Dunkley (again), Sheldrick, Young, Green and Keeffe - just to name a few of the bullets we were contending with! Fair to say round 18 was one of those weeks coaches contemplated why they play this game... 18 down 6 to go... Must be time for The Weekend That Was!
The Weekend That Was: Round 17
Round 17… A largely fruitful weekend for coaches as we push toward 'complete' squads! A couple of key injuries did throw a spanner in the works for those who thought they had fool proof early plans. As always, plenty of rant and rave about! 17 down 7 to go… Must be time for The Weekend That Was!
The Weekend That Was: Round 16
Round 16... No better feeling than kissing goodbye to the byes and getting all your premos back on deck! This ultimately culminated in some uuuuuuge scores across the board with many teams pushing 2500+! As always, plenty of recap on! 16 down 8 to go... Must be time for The Weekend That Was!
The Weekend That Was: Round 15
And just like that we say goodbye byes and hello to the home stretch of the 2023 fantasy season. As always plenty to rant and rave about! 15 down, 9 to go, must be time for The Weekend That Was!
