  1. Big 4 here. Macrae, Bont, Dunks and Sinclair. Going to avoid putting the VC on anyone tonight as every time I do it on Friday night football it flops so VC on laird tomorrow. Hoping for a good start to the round here. Good luck everyone.

    1. Trac scored 189 just 2 weeks ago. He should step up this week with Oliver out.

      Trade Cripps all day !

        1. Too many blokes in that team having a lick of the icecream.
          I think Cripps is the one who has sacrificed some on ball time so Walsh and Hewett etc can run through there.

      1. Hunter out and Smith back are flags for me.

        Macrae named on the wing.

        I’m happy to pass and put the Vc on Laird.

        Now watch Macrae go 140

    1. If you have Laird ,I’d hold,I’ve been guilty too often this season of using vc on first match.

  3. Gresham on 6 at qtr time with 1 disposal….

    He works as my m9/F7 loophole but with Oliver out he has to be fielded. I benched him only because I saw Culley named and his last rounds score of 49.

    Having Culley play his first game and no clue what he has scored still might end up being better than Gresham if this continues

  4. A mate talked me out of Bont as he was adamant he’d play more forward with Bailey Smith back, and especially with Naughton out.

    Let’s just say I’ve sent several enquiries as to when he’ll buy me an apology beverage…

  5. Wish l had Bont instead of English
    Maybe a bit harsh but maybe on never again list
    Started English , traded him out then in again then injured then poor again

      1. Funny enough resisted Heeney all season Tiger but tempted to roll dice for Jackson this round but Jackson could possibly do ok against Port .

      1. Agree Gezza, I was desperate to get him but other priorities kept getting in the way. Feeling lucky with his last couple scores.

        The concussions concern me a little. Not just from a SC perspective, but generally with his footy.

        1. English did seem very undecided on quite a few occasions tonight – hence his disposal was poor at times (with 5 clangers).

          But also thought he was very close to taking quite a few more marks throughout the night, his team mates missed him being open a few times (somehow!!), he played against a couple of pretty good rucks, and IMO he was also probably a bit unfairly scored a few times.

          That score obviously hurts his owners, and even though I don’t own him, think he is not that far from some good scores.

  6. Thanks for highlighting Bont as VC in your article GD. Always nice to nail it on Friday night. Carroll will do well as Captain this week 🙂

  7. Bont going full beast mode this game.

    It’s actually a crappy game of footy now so hard to keep watching but every time I watch some of it Bont is doing something spectacular.

  8. How useless are the rucks tonight and year in general.
    Marshall 44, Ryder 25 & English 47.
    2022- Not the year of the RUCKMAN!

    1. Only 7 ruckman have played every game so far, with Witts being the only true standout.
      If he plays every game, Witts will surely be the SC ruckman of the year

      1. Thanks Nato. Will be a close watch if a significant injury as it could make Marshall relevant once again at a cheap price.

        1. They did say Calf- and when it’s an older player can take a long time to come right. Might mean Marshall becomes only ruck for rest of the year maybe. Hmmmm

    1. It gets me how many ‘good’ forwards there are in the game right now who are unreliable in front of goal. IMO they can never be known as ‘greats’ unless they kick a good percentage of their shots…..

  9. Traded Tingles to Bont the other week and then grabbed Gawn over him last week.

    Didn’t like his concussion profile or ruck run home…DAMN it feels nice to have a move come together.

    Dale also great tonight despite Treloar, Richards and Hannan mega-seagulling. Who’d have thought I’d want Daniel back lol.

  10. Gresham recovered somewhat after his 6 point 1st term, but English not breaking 60 really hurts. It sort of takes a bit of the light off Bonts score
