Hey team! With the amazingness that is the ‘festival of footy’ and 20 days straight of games - spare a thought for us poor modellers as we scramble to update our tips and blogs between rounds that have no distinct gap!

Just a quick note to confirm that fitzRoy is now on CRAN! You can see it here. Release notes for this v0.2.0 can be seen here.

Make sure you read the getting started guide and reach out on github if you have any feedback!
