Contents this issue: Opening CommentsLast Year's Stats Extravaganza!
Well, as we gear up for the new season in our shiny new automated Munch system, we have a lot on our minds. So to take some of the pressure off from poring over cut lists and training plans, I thought I'd FINALLY get around to mailing out what Nick Guoth (Roxburgh Kittens, Gold Division) so kindly sent me way back, oh, months ago.
I have some old submissions I never printed in an issue (I don't think...), but I'll save them for some other time. In the meantime, if anyone has learned anything fabulous in the off-season or has become newly-confused, the submission lines are back open for business, and as I have actually already published a T&T for the EEFL, I can hopefully promise to be a more responsible editor in the season ahead.

[Editor's Note: Successful teams do all three offensive skills well: Scramble to get open, Mark to get shots, Kick to score goals. It's hard to extrapolate the importance of each skill from the above stats, but do some thinking on your own about the correlation between the number of Markks and position; also, between the accuracy and position. The missing link, obviously, is defense, but still, if you are planning how to train your offensive stars and your mobiles, you may want to consider Kick vs. Mark a little tighter.]
