Didn’t want to but traded thrice to get 18 on the field. Had 7 Dogs and Cats alone to start off field. At least they are all back on next round with only Dusty and Grundy missing from my entire squad.
Petracca , Brayshaw and Walters all not in my best 18 , as well as underwhelming scores from Williams , Shuey and Martin
Last 4 only recent additions to my team as well
2040/Neale/2645 (+1708)
Really happy with that score this week, as it makes up for the horror show last week.
Williams, Whitfield and Dusty were the 3 let downs but 2 are well owned so not much of an issue.
Midfield was on fire with my PODs of Langdon Lyons and Parker all scoring 120+
I now wonder whether it is worth offloading Dusty to bring in Macrae/Bont for the final 3 rounds.
Been loading up on post-bye players for a while, so I’d been eyeing off the mega bye round for a rank bump. Could’ve gone larger were it not for Racca, Brayshaw, J. Martin, Nic Nat and Shuey, but I’ll take it.
Can’t believe I actually moved up in rank given that I was counting scores from Wicks and Schoenberg but I’ll take it. Weird week, glad I didn’t make it worse by downgrading Bont to Brayshaw which I was seconds away from doing before the Freo vs Tiges match started. Having Shuey as a POD has really backfired and will make my last few trades tricky, but I think I’m happy to be forced to get rid of him. Carry on!
Let down by Williams, Whitfield, Martin & Brayshaw. Brought in Gawn as C, Zerrett and Kennedy this week which really helped. Also the bench players Serong & Schoenberg both counting.
Really happy with my backline. 5 scores included in best 18 the lowest being Cerra’s 97
A pretty mixed bag from the Midfield with no one going huge.
130 for Oliver being my highest. Some reasonable rookie scores from Scho-berg and Wicks helped a little.
Rucks were down this week.
When Dev Smith top scores in your forward line you know your in trouble.
Three trades left to upgrade Draper and complete my team.
If you don’t have Gawn. He is a must. I’m trading him in this round.
Last round you gave me advice about me overtrading and try save a trade or two.
I totally followed your advice. I was going to bring in Mills, luckily i didn’t. So I held extra trade until after melb/swans game. I had poor scores from Petracca and other premos. I panicked and traded stewart out for Haynes which literally saved me and boosted my rankings into Top 100.
So thank you for saving my team, I really appreciated it. Otherwise I would’ve had Mills.
Thats what I love about this site. We all have different ideas / opinions. I’m so glad I ended up having a positive influence.
I totally hear you with Gawn. I really want him. I just have a long memory when it comes to end of season carnage. I have to weigh up weather I get Gawn, or save a trade for another injury.
Will Gawn and a rookie looped, outscore Grundy and a Fallen Premo ?
If any of my Ubers go down , i will have to field rookies as I wont have a trade to sideways them. Ugh . It just seems safer to hold Grundy.
Surely ( after this week) the difference between Grundy and Gawns scores can’t be worth a trade and $80K ?
Then again if Gawn goes 150+ again and my oppo has him as Captain, I’m probably gone anyway.
Way too much to think about. I think I need a a drink !
Needed to remove Macrae to ensure I had 20 and some v poor scores got bumped out but question is whether I bring him back in now. $220k in bank, 5 trades. Fwd upgrade seems critical now though with my punt on Walters really not working.
I made two trades bringing in Merrett and Daniher (bench cover). Then made a last minute trade, Stewart out for Haynes to cover up poor scores from premos which literally saved me this week.
What an absolute bloody disaster.
2073/ Gawn/ Around 5000
Hoping to move up a bit, did a lot better than I thought considering I only had 19 on field

Disappointing result given I had 22 players available .

Petracca , Brayshaw and Walters all not in my best 18 , as well as underwhelming scores from Williams , Shuey and Martin
Last 4 only recent additions to my team as well

Same boat as you GB
Challenge is now how aggressive to go with trades in rd 16 .
I’m in 7 league finals but straight to rd 17 in 6 .
Yep, P. Goodluck.

Lol. I thought Shuey would sink me and yet I still went up as well, Emile!
Bravo Emile. Vas-y , fonces. You just have to trade aggressively until the end and see how far you get. Good luck
2021 / Gawn / 90 (+50)

Nice work, Pope. Keep it up.
Well done pope .
Good luck in climbing even further in rankings last 3 rounds
2087/Mitchel/244
1896/Titch/ now 2154
Went up 183 spots which is fantastic considering I thought I would drop. Hope to keep climbing but need some huge gains to crack top 1k
1877 / Grundy / 11K up 1656 spots.
Funny old round really.
Really happy with my backline. 5 scores included in best 18 the lowest being Cerra’s 97
