Ok the only thing that will make up for having hayes and Rachele on bench is if my captain Touk goes big tonight! I’m thinking a 160 will suffice. Rowell can play a cameo and get 120 too would be lovely! Cmon
Touk as Captain for me., and Dixon on the bench. I ended up passing on Rowell, The pain of last year is still raw. He could certainly hurt me tonight, I just couldn’t fit him in my structure.
Hard for me to say this, but it would be great to see WC get up under all this adversary. Keeping a close eye on Hough, as I need an Owens replacement.
Best of luck to everyone in the last game of the weekend.
Witts looking awesome too. Even though he’s not in my team I want to see the best from the big fella and I’m sure he’ll do much better with Rowell and Miller back in the guts together.
Eagles are a sniff here GD, I’ve tipped them and will win 120 if they get up tonight which on top of my hawks today would be a great sign off to a dodgy fantasy weekend!
2112 so far with just Rowell to go in this one. Pretty happy apart from going Martin to Baldwin mid week and not going back. Tipped the Suns for some reason, but the Eagles looking better than expected given the injury list..
Fair play, I had no loop so had to take Steele as C and Martin would’ve been benched still anyhow. Just always hope to reduce corrective rookie trades as much as possible. Does anyone ever manage tho??
Geez Gold Coast have a load of talent but they have some very ‘dumb’ footballers. I have just seen so many poor decisions from them so far this game.
On another note great first half for my Captain Miller and his running mate Rowell. Just so happy to see Rowell back out there running freely after the last couple years
Yeah spot on GD, that coast to coast goal would have been a hard watch from your perspective. GC getting plenty of the pill through the wings and middle but just blowing some chances. If Eagles can keep their pressure game up in second half they are still in with a shot.
Always hard to watch your team but barrack for your SC captain on the other team. Lol
How exciting is this end to a great first week of SC footy. Got my C on Touk, Witts R 2, wishing I had Rowell with a mid bench from trying to be cute of Brodie, Daicos and Rachelle.
We’re set for a year on the decline, so losses like this are going to happen, but more than happy to go down to a resilient, talented Suns side with a potent engine room – which looked massively strengthened with an actual ruck.
strewth … just had a look in my leagues … there is some insane scores out there above 2300 and 2400 … and shout out to Nato currently on 2422 … insane!!
No late changes
Eagles sub: Isiah Winder
Suns sub: Alex Sexton

Only thing that will make up for the Eagles getting pounded at home by Gold Coast in Round 1 is if C Miller and Rowell go large!
Resigned to a loss, only here for SC lol.
I’m not backing against him I see a 140+ coming. Bring it on home for a huge score.
What? You hate Touk or you don’t rate him?
83 at half time. Rowell 79.
Currently 2130 with Witts and Rowell to play. Hoping all goes smoothly for a great season start
That’s a real nice score so far! Good luck.
Wow! I’m on 2000 with touk and Rowell left and I thought I was flying!

2154 with just Rowell left, so hoping for at least 50 to get me over 2200 for Round 1. I’ll take that.
Attention Macca, Chips Ahoy!
Need two fillers for Tech league 2 so could you please join before the end of the game. Thanks.
League code: 761676
Apologies to the site for wrong place but It probs wouldn’t happen if not posted here, Cheers
sorry James – I’ve been working and just logged back on now to see this note … I think it may be too late sadly mate …
edit mate – I just tried to join – even though it says the whole things is “locked out” … at this stage it says I am in … so lets see if it works????
Come on C Touk /Rowell.
Currently on 1799 so need some big scores to make something out of this week.
Right idea wrong execution with my Def as had 4 primos average about 70 each
Was tossing up between Whitfield/Hewett or Mcinnerny + Dale (bulldogs) look to have chosen very poorly
Mate there’s a lot of premos who really need to lift their game next week..
For sure, just wanted to have a whinge
Took and Rowell both with tons at 3qtr time so hope they keep it up and go big
Rowell looks like a man possessed out there in the first five minutes, bashing his way to the bottom of every pack.
Witts looking awesome too. Even though he’s not in my team I want to see the best from the big fella and I’m sure he’ll do much better with Rowell and Miller back in the guts together.
I was thinking of trading him to get Hayes score. Phew !!
64 at half time means he might just beat Hayes.
But it isn’t a guarantee yet.
I’ll take my Grundy/Marshall/Hayes lineup but Witts looked good from what we saw in preseason so you’ve backed a good one.
Eagles are a sniff here GD, I’ve tipped them and will win 120 if they get up tonight which on top of my hawks today would be a great sign off to a dodgy fantasy weekend!
Aha, we’ll see Tom.
The fact we’re tackling and applying pressure is blowing my mind. Very uncharacteristic lol.
Go Eagles!

Cruel game. I went the other way Friday night and looped martin

Got the same combo, Jam.
It’s phenomenal to watch isn’t it? Magnificent duo.
Only a narrow load for us into HT. Need to contain the ease with which they’re (namely Miller and Rowell!) moving the ball.

By the way I am absolutely blown away by Miller’s work rate. He just gets to so many contests
If I could only budget for one of him or Steele it was always gonna be him.
The potential SC upside with a better ruck, and with less heat due to Rowell back and fit was clear.
The late game times for captain loophole were just a bonus.
Lol miller shot at goal at half time
is rioli in trouble there?
en you jump off the ground to bump is a fuckin charge always ffs terrible umpiring
absolute farking joke
Geez Jones looks like a class footballer with a slick turn of pace
How exciting is this end to a great first week of SC footy. Got my C on Touk, Witts R 2, wishing I had Rowell with a mid bench from trying to be cute of Brodie, Daicos and Rachelle.
When is the first price rise? After round 2 or 3?
Round 3 tom
Thanks, Tom. So no need to panic with trading the rookies we missed yet.
Plenty of time to reshuffle, obviously some rookies look like a must get but if your rookie underscored a little dont be too stressed.
Tom toms
We get an extra on demand trade this year too. So R2 trades are less about cash correction and more about on field points
Absolute pleasure to see Rowell back!
Matt Rowell:
33 disposals
22 contested possessions
10 clearances
5 inside 50s
6 tackles
157 points
Robbed !!
I’m on 2,393 before scaling, would love to crack 2,400. Come on Captain Miller & Rowell!
That’s a huge score mate
Was able to get Hayes and Martin on field, that’s helped a lot. Plus some big scores from my midfield today: Brayshaw, Miller & Rowell.
Yeah, It looks like I’m 2323. No Hayes on field. Carnage in the premo defenders. But all in all most of the rest did good.
Brave effort by eagles but suns were too good, exciting midfield though with Anderson touk and Rowell.
My decision to hold Witt’s and not chase Hayes pts has paid off
Been expecting a good outcome from him since the preseason. There’s still injury risk but he looks a good option at this point.
We’re set for a year on the decline, so losses like this are going to happen, but more than happy to go down to a resilient, talented Suns side with a potent engine room – which looked massively strengthened with an actual ruck.
Genuinely hope they have an ascendant year.
Miller C and Rowell also made it digestible lol.
strewth … just had a look in my leagues … there is some insane scores out there above 2300 and 2400 … and shout out to Nato currently on 2422 … insane!!
Thanks Macca!
In one of my leagues I am actually sitting 3rd for my score
