Had already traded out Goldy for Gawn when I made the “go big or go home” decision to trade out J Kelly & Z Williams for Haynes & Greenwood at the death knell of the GWS game which got me over the line in all 5 finals this round.
If I could get through one week without any injuries to deal with (Doc, Simpkin, Mosquito) that would be awesome!
Escaped most of the carnage except for Jack Martin but now it looks like I have to deal with the Doch as well. Should move into Top 500 as I was only 73pts off 500th place.
Won 3 out of 4 Semi-Finals including a double header against Catta.
Lost to Zac-ZacAttack by 13pts so I am in 9 Prelims.
Was looking good to progress to the prelim in SCT 5 but old mate Travis’ Mack Attack came out today and put the hard tag on my two guys who held a 49 point lead going in. His brilliant coaching won out in the end with his decision to play Lachie Neale on the ball while Lukosius and Rankine apparently stayed in the hub.
Well Done Trav and good luck next week against those Humble Pies.
Thanks PBuzz you were stiff in the 1st week of finals in Catta’sChallenge 2 League against my team as I think you only went down by 13pts if my mind serves me right anyway it was close.
Thanks Death Adder
Walters , J Martin , z Williams trades in have brought me unstuck but can’t complain with my overall rank of 717
Good luck in finals
Love your posts on twitter also
Gotta post the good with the bad and f*ck me this was bad.
Traded in Berry as my Shuey replacement only for him to go down after a tantalizing 32 point first quarter, ate J. Martin’s 35 with Schoenberg and Wicks dropping out of B18, had J. Kelly and Hurn missing and I’m now left with two trades. OOOOOF.
After plummeting down from a career best rank the last thing I want to do is think about SC but I’ve gotta have this captaincy article written by tmmrw lol.
A quick shout out to Gra Pol who is now ranked 146th btw!
Apologies for the win in SCT contributors. I think my captain Neale punt was enough unless Berry went 130 . Super unlucky with your scores this week GD. I thought I was dead to rights so held all 3 trades for my final upgrades to hit Motts cash league final hard.
Looking forward to your next article. Keep up the good work mate.
Not a bad result based on not having Naitinui & Kelly.
Simpkin & Doc are a real issue with only 2 trades left. I am at full premo but would rather not be forced with trades, not that we’ve had a choice this year
Walsh and Setterfield have being firing which is good to see.
Taranto not so much, keep playing good halves then going quiet…
much like the giants more broadly.
Congrats to Salamanda and Molly’s Allstars for there wins against me.
I have $144K and one trade. looking to do Draper to a M8* under $486 200.
This will leave Hurn at D6 with Rivers as cover.
New M8* and Wicks and Scho-berg as cover.
Max and ROB No cover.
Rozee and Close to loop at F6 / 7
I’m in 4 Minor Finals and still want to finish as high as possible.
Congrats to everyone above, Gra Pol , P Buzz etc..there’s some seriously good scores for best 18.
Thanks again to all the awesome contributors on this amazing site.
You guys are tireless in bringing us so much content, under unusually trying circumstances.
I’m sure I speak/ type, for all of us when I say..

Feels good to have Neale and Gawn back on the field together.

All class, Hutta. Yeah, Berry was on track for a juicy one too – and here I was thinking I was clever for dodging Shiel lol.
Nah, well played. Good luck in the big dance.
Writing the captains article rn, this week’s steer clear: ME!
2030/Max/Bang bang goes the minor premier 🙁
Lost by 24 with under performing Gaff Kennedy Parker Doch and Lukosius
Roll on (hopefully) CV-free 2021!
2100 / Gawn / 5100
Had to do the Grundy > Gawn trade which seemed to pay off as it got me into
The SCT Contributors prelim with 4 trades left…
Hope to see you in finals BB.
BB has to overcome me yet Hutta in the Contributors Prelim.
Good Luck BB!
HaHa – Will be a tough one TDA after the round you’ve had!
See you in the prelim!
Don’t forget our prelim in Draft as well Hutta!
Great work PBuzz consolidating your spot in the Top 1k.

2091/Neale/1700ish.
Scrapped through into the prelim of my cash league with a draw. The hail mary of Neale as a forced captain paid off.
