fitzRoy 1.7.0

New Features

• Added a fetch_outofcontract function (with fetch_outofcontract_footywire) to fetch AFL out-of-contract players for a given year (2025 onwards), enabling team list analysis and end-of-season contract reviews.
• Added a new set of functions to fetch AFL Supercoach and AFL Fantasy (Dream Team) scores from Footywire. The main wrapper function fetch_scores() allows users to specify the scoring system ("supercoach" or "dream_team") along with year and round inputs. This addition includes helper functions fetch_supercoach_scores() and fetch_fantasy_scores(), which retrieve round-level performance metrics such as player rankings, salary, scores, and value.
• Added fetch_awards() function with support for three AFL awards:
  • brownlow (player and team vote tallies from Footywire)
  • allaustralian (final team and full squad)
  • risingstar (nominations and round-level stats)
• Added a new wrapper function fetch_team_stats() for retrieving team-level statistics from multiple sources.
• Improved code clarity and consistency with better error handling (cli), safer scoping (.data$), and modern dplyr syntax.
• Enhanced compatibility with other functions by ensuring consistent team naming and structure in outputs.
