I got Richmond over the line in Gauntlet last week and seriously considering backing up with WCE this week over the Saints, could really set it up for a huge crack at winning it. Roos over Tigers is another option this week although they do get WCE in Tassie later on.
Other than that Brisbane vs Melbourne at home look the only other safe option

I think it depends on what your goal in these comps is.

Just survive as long as you can, for a bit of extra entertainment?
Or generally trying to win the whole thing, in which case, take a punt and see if you can get those bottom few out of the way, and if you bomb out, then so be it.

So far I haven't really taken either strategy.
I used Melb in Rd 7
Essendon in Rd 8
Richmond in Rd 9.

Good to have 3 sides out of the top 8 done, but yeah, need to work out when I'm going to get North and WCE done, or do you play it safe and hope that everyone else bombs out before round 22???

I haven't looked at who has the bye when either. I wonder if I'll get to a point where all the teams playing have already been used and therefore I get knocked out by default!

I'm not in any of the comps but if you get to round 18 and WC haven't won a game which I think is likely who wins the prizes?

Survivor/Gauntlet styles.

Only being able to pick one side would be a nightmare.

Having trouble finding a week to pick Sydney, may have to risk them in R24 in Perth vs WCE, who knows what players will be in for surgery by then
