2221 gaz as captain.
ahh, surprised about my score a little, a few let downs, cloke is a massive let down.
im confident that the minute his contract is signed he’ll start playing better footy but i dont know if that will translate into a good sc score and if i can afford to wait untill then. pendles is as cheap as he is going to get with a BE of 116 next week sitting at 595k time to pounce i think.
cox, chappy, selwood, goddard, goodes slight letdowns but i know you cant expect them to all play blinders every week.

Mine: 2135/Pavlich Captain/ 1 donut in Darley (though I did select Guthrie as an emergency but live HQ is not putting his score on there for some reason. It does have an E next to his name though?). I’m assuming they’ve included his ‘massive’ 17 pts in my final tally *rolls eyes*
So I ended up with 4/4 league wins. 5 trades up my sleeve. Still kinda wishing I’d gone Cloke to R’OK. But I got the wins on the board so I guess that’s all that matters. In one league I’m on the verge of missing the 8, but had a few wins recently so with a little luck this one has popped me back in there. Unlike my own team who you’d think have missed the boat now (the North game was the one that cost us the most, plus the tigers and now this one against the swannies). Could be a massive rd23. Motts and I will have to buy out the bar I reckon! (Saints V Carlton) -our teams will probs be fighting for 10th spot ;)

SCTTL: 2247/Gaz captain. 1 donut in Mohr.
2/3 league wins. 3 trades left.

Not happy with Chappy and Goodes.

Very angry with Goddard and Mumford – WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GET INJURED ALL THE TIME!!?!!

Everything else is fine!

Hopefully move into the top 20,000…

No trades this week.

Loved the loading that just went on the Freo game… Pav the lazy 160 and Johnson went up to 101 to give me a win in all 5.

2387/Pav

No trades needed this week but Miles might be the trade down target in a few if Sheedy decides to have a good look at him over the last few rounds. Still have Buddy on the bench and 4 trades to go so looking good for finals time!

2407 in SCTTL1 and 2 wins from 2.
2277 with a Buddy shaped Donut in main team, lost to Rob’s Incredible’s by 42 in LOEC2 but won the other 4 games. Tipped 7 correctly and also had my highest ever DT score of 2306, not that it counts for anything.

Absolutely stoked with 2506. Wins in all 5 leagues, although I’m out of finals contention for one of them, so a loss there wouldn’t have troubled me anyway.

A few disappointing scores at the death, had 6 players on the field today, only Pav was able to crack the ton. That being said, With the C on Pav, he was the one I needed to go large. I think this was the first round my Captain has been my highest scoring player (before doubling).

Who should I trade Cloke for? Got 188k left with 3 trades. I wanna trade him for a gun midfielder that’s cheap like Murphy or someone.

2521/GAJ 5 from 5 Ws

My fishes are flying again. Didn’t think I’d outdo last weeks score but I smashed it……. by 4 :) Hoping to finish in the top 1000 so this will help.

Beams, JPK, GAJ, Swan and DangerMouse led the way. Goodes and Goddard – you got outscored by Lee Spurr FFS. Lift.

I’m actually a bit worried that I didn’t make a great call getting Goodesy in two weeks ago. I haven’t seen the Swans play their last two but I get the impression that with the likes of Jack, Kennedy, ROK and Jetta doing a great job in the middle, Horse might be happy to anchor Goodes in the forward line. Not good for his scoring. Any Swans out there got any thoughts?

The Swans have great midfield depths which will only get stronger with Parker coming back soon. So I think Goodes will be playing the rest of his career in the forward line trying to take defenders away from Reid. Although this will help out the Swans in the future, it will not generate the high SC scores we are use to from Goodes

2260/pendles, gained an extra 43 points in the wash up with the Freo game, got to be happy with that, not enough to push into the top 100 I wouldn’t think, although plenty of Prems down this week.

Beat first on ladder but it’s unrealistic that I’ll make Top 4, so I’ll have to settle for a bit lower ha.
1 trade left kinda worries me, Dempsey scoring 57 two weeks in a row is really alarming my trade trigger finger, but I gotta resist.

Trading Broughton > Newman in a desperate attempt to win a pivotal game in LoEC1 against top of the table ‘Don Cottagers’ failed miserably. Would’ve won all my other league games without Newman anyway, so all that resulted was a waste of a trade. Now just 2 remaining with another Mumford injury to contend with and still a win and percentage outside the 8 in LoEC1 with 2 games remaining. Destined to finish 9th like my Tigers.

Hey all,

Again, this appears to be confusing many participants in the SCTTL leagues, and I think we might need clarification from up-on-high. I was under the impression that the Top 8 teams across ALL five (5) leagues would then be manually competing in an overall SCTTL finals series. So it’s not necessarily about where you finish in your specific league, but your total overall score.

so i am getting pendles in this week for horsley. problem is i dont have enough cash in bank. time to trade cloke? i was thinking maybe brad green? BE of -14 averaging 91 the last 2 weeks(89,93) after having 4 weeks off. admitted against power this week(93) but freo last week(89) so i think maybe could work?
i have 237,100 in bank 2 trades left
NO GUTS NO GLORY…..RIGHT?
pendles is 593,900 – horse is 304,000k so i need 289,900.
gotta find an extra 52,800 from either smedts, sam shaw, sam gibson, big O.
suggestions on who to chop and for who?
cloke for green has me keeping these bench guys, Mark Baguley is a back option for shaw. miles is an option for gibson

Not one of my stars (So Called) scored over 100, A Swallow, T Goldstein, Goodes, Dusty, Lids, BJ , Roo, Steve J off after 3 quarters although got 136, Won however up to 4th. I am regretting getting Goodes 2 weeks ago, should have went Pav or Petrie.
