1930ish (waiting for scaling)/neale/4000 overall heading into this rd (will drop heaps)
absolute shit show
Wingard, Townsend, Taylor, Starc, dev smith, doch, Cripps horrible
year was going along nicely until now :((
its hard to go past the double downgrade of Rankine and Simpson but part of me wants to use the 250K I have in the bank as well
offloading Starc and Townsend for now
Was a weird round, my hawks bias let me down this week with ceglar and wingard being very disappointing.
-3s starcevich, Steele who I brought in this week and the obvious doc and Cripps
+3 Doedee delivers along with Viney sicdog, whitfield rewarded my trade this week and sympkin delivered this week
Overall a bit of an up and down week, just hoping Cripps will get up next week so I can downgrade some rookies and there is some sexy cash cows this week
1926/Gawn
Back to reality this week after hitting top 300 last week. Only 8 tonnes for the round, then having Duncan, Dusty, Cripps, Doc, Devon and Weller for premos under 70.
Also have to include Starcevich and Taylor, with Aarts not doing much better but still would have outscored Taylor if fielded.
Surprised I gained 1500 odd spots. Copped poor scores from Taylor, Dev Smith, Cripps and Doch like most, but Berry’s 21 and J. Kelly’s 92 stung. Backing in C Gawn over VC Neale seemed to keep me alive.
Double downgrade seems to be where it’s at, but I’m very tempted to press the attack and bring Bailey Smith in this week. Might be able to get away with passing up on Day and Simpson considering I’ve got Pittonet sitting at R3? Conversely, my MID cows have dried up with McInerney and Brown dropped and Hayden, Budarick and Pickett all potentially on the chopping block this week. Very conflicted.
Won’t put much thought into trades knowing Thursday night will invariably f*ck us all up lol.
6 players under 50 & not happy with 2 weeks in a row under 2000, but remarkably went up 606 places in rankings. Was looking at trading in either Duncan or Shiel this round so glad I went with Ridley instead. Looking forward to culling some rookies next week but 2 trades won’t even begin to cover it. Lost 5/10 leagues, but 4 of those by 22 points or less.
2072/Neale/ 631
I am astonished I actually went up the rankings with this score. Back under 1000 so I was lucky.
Guns: Danger, Sicily, Neale, Macrae, B Smith, Gawn, Viney.
Spuds: Ceglar, Wingard, Butler, D Smith, Cripps, Doch and the rookies.
Double downgrade for me this round : Starcevich and Ceglar have to go probably For Day and Simpson at this point depending on JS.
Managed to scratch out 2007 with the common suspects having stinkers, so with wingards’s bad stain (again!!) added to that, reasonably happy. Gawn c and ranked 7506 after now recovering most of the r3 disaster…those lost 500 pts would be handy. Won my $100 per head cash league by 4 pts…it was a stressful Sunday night !!
Finally getting my season going after a horror start with injury & poor performances. Was as low as 60000 after round two so happy to begin the climb, still hoping for a finish in the top 1%.
Double downgrade like most, quick question how many trades does everyone have left I’ve got 16 after two this week.
Doch, Williamson, Parker, Dunca, Cripps, Wingard, Dusty, Dev Smith, Taylor all waaaaaay under what i wanted from them.
In particular super low scores from POD mids Duncan and Parker were costly.
Rankine and Simpson look the obvious trade in targets to keep the cash flowing. I will eagerly wait on news of how long Duncan’s expected to be out for and also the BE’s of the rookies.

Trade plans for your week Andy?

offloading Starc and Townsend for now
Maybe double down this week and double upgrade next week to premos? I think the rookies this week are too good to ignore
yeah mate I think thats the way to go
2037/Gawn/ awaiting for round results

1990/Neale/6k
Have a funny suspicion this is a good score. Many popular players scored below 70 this week.
Have to agree, think 2000-2100 will be a decent enough score this week. On a positive note there wasn’t as much injury carnage this week
2001/Neale
Over the moon about cracking 2K
1951/Neale
With a donut and considering how my season has been – this is something to be happy about considering the scores this week.
Ridley has been a great inclusion.
Wish I stuck with Houston and Brayshaw.
trading out Houston and brayshaw the week before they both ton up twice in a row has not been amusing
If it makes you feel any better: I traded Houston to Tom Stewart. Broke his collarbone the same week.
2077/Neale
Only fielded 21 which counted Taylor.
Traded in Mills this week which helped.
1917/ Gawn.
Besides doc and cripps , dusty and Parker really stuffed my Sunday! Oh well had a good week last week back to reality.
2079… 1 donut….Gawn…. was 4500ish
2284.
10/10 H2H.
Trades Whitfield and Ridley.
Thinking could be Top100. For this round.?
Wow! Good shit, Vic!
Let us know where you end up OA!
Current Rank 2254.
After being 76k after Round One. Very happy with my comeback.
Outstanding work mate, what’s your squad looking like?
Current Rank 2254.
After being 76k after Round One. Very happy with my comeback.
DEF Docherty crisp Ridley Smith Williamson hill / brander rivers
MIDS Neale Mitchell Bont Cogs Viney Green Pickett Bennel / McInnernyBrown Buda
RUCK Gawndy / Xerri
FWD Simpkin B. Smith Bradshaw Whitfield D. Smith Long / King georgiades
Looking as if double downgrade this week rankine is a definite. Just waiting on injury report Narkle Duncan.? Simpson looks promising.
60k in the bank.
top 100 i reckon
31st for the week! Congrats mate!
2104 Gawn was 505
1926/Gawn
Back to reality this week after hitting top 300 last week. Only 8 tonnes for the round, then having Duncan, Dusty, Cripps, Doc, Devon and Weller for premos under 70.
Also have to include Starcevich and Taylor, with Aarts not doing much better but still would have outscored Taylor if fielded.
1908 , Neale.
lowest score of the year. enough said.
1981/Neale/was 4K odd
Rozee has been an absolute liability the last couple of weeks!
1910 with Neale captain.
I thought with that score I was going to drop out of the top 1000, but only went from 79th to 350th.
Could’ve been much better if I fielded Rankine over Aarts. Oh well
2026/Gawn/3626

Round 6 Score. : 2124
Captain : Gawn
Season Rank. : 34. (Up from 77)
SCT Group Rank. : 2.
Taylor, Starcevich, Ceglar and Docherty really hurt.
Well done Pope, any score over 2100 is a good effort. Keep flying the SCT banner
2072/Neale/ 631

Nice, Jeannot. Holding strong.
Score = 2085 (only 21 players on field thanks to Sturt being late out)
Gawn C
Rank = 3358
Won 9/9 Leagues… Cash League win by 3 points !
Had the same with Sturt out, 22 green lights Thursday night became 21 pretty quck
2167/Oliver/9222
Managed to scratch out 2007 with the common suspects having stinkers, so with wingards’s bad stain (again!!) added to that, reasonably happy. Gawn c and ranked 7506 after now recovering most of the r3 disaster…those lost 500 pts would be handy. Won my $100 per head cash league by 4 pts…it was a stressful Sunday night !!
2024 / Neale / 581 (+71)
I didn’t think 2024 would help me climb the rankings this week.
Let down by Doch, Duncan, Starc, Cripps and Taylor.
Glad to see Macrae go big, otherwise the inclusion of Ridley and Mitchell paid off.
Looks like double downgrade is the vibe this week!
2087/Gawn/18300 ish
Finally getting my season going after a horror start with injury & poor performances. Was as low as 60000 after round two so happy to begin the climb, still hoping for a finish in the top 1%.
Double downgrade like most, quick question how many trades does everyone have left I’ve got 16 after two this week.
I’ll also have 16 after this week.
1878 / Neale / 4093
1/3 in my leagues
That round was brutal.
Doch, Williamson, Parker, Dunca, Cripps, Wingard, Dusty, Dev Smith, Taylor all waaaaaay under what i wanted from them.
In particular super low scores from POD mids Duncan and Parker were costly.
Rankine and Simpson look the obvious trade in targets to keep the cash flowing. I will eagerly wait on news of how long Duncan’s expected to be out for and also the BE’s of the rookies.
2023 / Neale / one donut + Mitch Duncan / $208,300 handy
Tempted by Double Downgrade but have $208,300 sitting handy…
Budarick -> Rankine
Starcevich -> Haynes
Or Pittonet -> Cheapest available ruck/fwd
Pittonet on the pine with Gawn and English rucking and is at risk of starting to lose money
Thoughts?
1771.
Traded in Duncan and Aarts sums up my round.
