Let’s have those progress scores, no matter how depressing they may look, for those coaches out of trades and hanging in there by the narrowest of margins.

Glad Saad came good with a 91 for the lad who was asking us if he should play Saad over Couch. Saad is the find of the season for the Saints – his set shot routine should be copied by Nick Roo!

Well, so much for it being a cracker Roo. One game and it’s all over. You’ve got to give your three votes to C.Judd don’t you? Amazing what a bit of freedom can do for Smurphs
Spent my last two trades to get Scotland’s 62 too. Massive palm to face to end the LoEC year.

…and just spotted Motts’ Sam Mitchell post. Wish I knew that before the Watson debacle. My game would have been over already and I wouldn’t have cared as much. Less upset about the Mitchell one because I saw that coming. Again though, Dane Swan (can’t censor this one) FUCK YOU!

Wow, what a win!! 9 from the last 10 now. Like Hugh said, can’t believe the turn around.
Hansen and Tarrant are genuine targets now. Our backline is a well oiled machine. Our midfield depth is now there. Goldy as the lone ruckmen is dominating games. Boomer is a genuine great of the game.

Nail-biter here!
Me 1595/16/GAJ VS Motts 1590/16/GAJ
(I love how, as I was writing this post, the “SC gods” actually just marked me up 6 points and took 2 or 3 away from his, hahaha)
Our only difference is:
Me: Buddy Franklin Him: Jordan Lewis
I have Saad (91) as my emergency, he has no FWD line emergency. Not that I think either of our players won’t play.
Who’s going to win??

*the only difference LEFT to play… our teams did have different players play already… surprised it’s been this close… for all my stirring, I still thought he would be wiping the floor with my team.
Decided to get Rockcliff in the end with my final trade, all night I was bemoaning the decision not to go with Mundy… or indeed Hodge. Then Rocky goes and doubles his score in the last quarter

Is a big game Hugh but probably won’t decide the four.
WC will beat Port. Even if the Eagles beat Collingwood next week I think we’ll beat the Eagles in Rd 23 at the G and the Pies will beat Essendon.
That will have Colllingwood 4th and WC 5th.

That’s probably what’ll end up – but if Sydney beats Hawthorn and West Coast manages an upset, the Eagles might sneak into the 4. The formline of the past few weeks suggests this is a mere pipe-dream, but you never know what could happen. Of course, it would be quite a novelty to see Hawthorn finish top, West Coast win in RD 23 and finish 4th, setting up a QF at the G.
Oh, and I think Freo and Carlton will fight for 8th place on percentage. If Collingwood drops the Essendon game, then we could see a Pies-Blues EF. I can already see the AFL salivating at the prospect.

North can actually sneak up to 5th if we win both, WC drop a game, and we smash the GWS in the final round.

1445/15/GAJ. Projected to lose by two right now. Made the very late trade to get Buddy back into the side, then left him on the bench without an E when lockout caught me.
So Pfeiffer, NicNat, Birchall and 35 points vs Hurn, Buddy and Roughead. Pfeiffer would’ve been the man benched for Buddy too. There’s still hope, at least.

Buddy withdrawing could swing my only two matches this week. My opponents have picked up their F emergency scores of Fyfe (77) and Cloke (47) respectively, leaving:-
(Me) Goodes & Hale V (Him) Lewis + 67 points
(Me) Lake, Hale + 52 Points V (Him) Birchall
Second game looks in the bag & although it will be close, if i win the first i will be into the pre-lim for all 5 leagues. Immediately trading Buddy out after reading Duck or BS’s comment on SCT about Buddy looking more of a 4-5 week injury has been my trade of the season & won me a few games as most kept him.

Hugh G. Rexion on the live chat: Buddy’s out… Somethin is goin on. Maybe Aker is right
For me, if Buddy played today it puts the rumours to bed. After this illness thing happens, it certainly makes you wonder if they are waiting on a B sample or similar. What was Aker’s exact comment?

Boys Boys Boys did not you read my comments in the pre chat.
Went like this I gave pendles Capt one week 126 and Gaz got 170 something. Too much heartache when you do not make him capt. and think of the score you could have had.
Also pretty happy with my recommendation said take Goodes over Robbo and Smith hopefully he did 131.
2499 / Gaz a win No Mitchell no Franklin. DId have Sammy Gibson cover for Mitchell, but none for Franklin
