    Oct 27 2025

    A condensed gang gets together to celebrate some huge round scores (notably, Will makes it to the top 1000!)! With only one week to go, it's all about throwing your money at the final trades and crossing your fingers. The gang jam on some under and over valued players, VC-loophole trade targets and captains.

    Please excuse and enjoy the rain sounds of the Melbourne night storm in the back of Mel’s mic after ~1 hour.
