Low par week but a Dusty donut and ass scores from Laird, Chapman, Rowe, Petracca and Gawn did me in. Dropped 1700~ spots. Will look to bring in a FWD premo this week and press the attack.
Shout to bAps though, who has been killing it this season and carrying Gun’s Regulars #1. Put up a 2200+ this week and shot up to 23 OA!
Absolutely thrilled with this score as I had a doughnut in my team as well, with Williams out and then Jones, Highmore on the bench.
Chapman and Rowe were horror scorers for the team with 28 and 36. Had Harrison Jones on the bench and that would have been a great cover for Rowe. It now appears those rookies will make way from the squad.
Bringing in May a week early paid off with his 145 and that actually increased his price tag by 1k!
Considering I was ranked 40k a couple of weeks ago, but rocketing up in the last few rounds has been delightful! Time to keep it up but what will a 22 team do for me?
Traded in Bolton and Zorko this week, captained Grundy and moved up to rank 23 overall! Still have 23 trades left too, so pretty chuffed at the moment.
Absolutely amazed that I moved up that many spots.
Very happy considering the below par efforts of Gawn, Laird, Ridley and CJ.
Saved by rookies Jordon, Powell and Tom Green plus my 9 other 100 plus scorers led by captain Grundy.
Won 7 of 10 leagues and moved up 28 spots in SCT group. Hopefully my season is back on track now.
Pretty stoked at 33rd overall for the week. Brought in Lloyd and Zorko this week for Dunkley and Gulden. A bit worried about cash generation for the coming weeks, and my forward line is sus, but have a few trades up my sleeve.
2040 Grundy/9523. Come from 80k after a poor round 1. The problem I have is similar to other people; with so many non playing rookies on the bench, how do I make $$$ to upgrade. If we keep trading rookies, there will be not enough trades to complete the team with premium players. This is quite a different year. I can see very different final teams rather than finding unique players.
Happy with the inclusions this week of Macrae & Walsh (for Dunkley & Neale).
Happy I kept the VC on Grundy and with so many rookies not playing (6 on bench plus Dusty ) was glad to get through without a donut, although Chapman’s 28 & Rowe’s 36 hurt.
With Chapman, Gulden, Berry & Rowe now all with high BE’s, decision to be made on who needs to go first, and which upgrade/downgrade targets to make, whilst worrying about the trade situation.
A few weeks without any injuries would be greatly appreciated SC Gods – 5 used so far on injured players – Danger, Rowell, H Young, Neale & Dunkley – and still holding L Jones who was my H Young replacement.
Climbing spots steadily and very happy with the look of my side at this point.
Will look to paint the fence and move on chapman and possibly gulden this round
Really surprised by the jump up with that score but ever so happy it keeps me in the hunt.
Only 4 over 110 (Reg, Taranto,Stewart and Short) and some dud scores from players who got me here (Tex, Jiath, Impey, Laird and Max) so can’t complain too much except it is SC and that’s what we do.
Small drop in the ranks but better than I expected after an awful week. Somehow managed 6/7 league wins including over Macca and GD think everyone got screwed this round.
+3s Powell Jordan, Taranto and new signing Walsh
-3 me for putting vc on macrae then not trusting Grundy with the c and getting cooked by Gawn, Phillips( how is he still in my team), new signing petracca, Chapman.
Got a lot of rookies that need to go similarly to many other scers so gotta figure out which ones first, think Chapman may force my hand
1785/Gawn/idc
This weeks heroes Ellis, Darling and J,Jones (out of nowhere) made a car crash bearable as I some mugged two people in my league matches.
Lets not mention the duds and be thankful my new players were not immediately injured like the last 3 rounds.
2062/Gawn – ranked 257, dropped 48 which was an awesome surprise.
VC on Bont and then went Gawn instead of my recruit Grundy plus dodgy showings from Tex, Jiath, Laird and Impey but I expect them all to tonne up next week!!
Each week, I take a safe VC score from Macrae or Grundy, only for Gawn to smash it out of the park. The one week I get greedy, he puts in this pitiful effort. F**k you Max.
In fact, the only two times I’ve had him as outright C, he’s put in a 93 & 63.
The only good thing to come out of this week was J Kelly’s return to form.
The sooner we can forget about this round the better.
2, 215 grundy rank 4, 666
Best score so far. Im soooo glad i took grundys points, thought about chancing Gawn for a second. No real disappointing scores other than gawn, Lairds 75 could of be bigger but other than those the rest did well. Taranto! Thats what im talking about kid!
Somehow rose about 100 in the rankings this week, and pretty happy to be in the position I am despite losing Dunkley and Neale last week, along with Dusty who I had just traded in! Macrae and Sidebottom came in for me and were a little disappointing but at least they got through unscathed! 23 trades left which I feel is a little on the high side compared to most, but cash gen looking like it could be a real issue for the rest of the season (as it may be for most).
Won 3/3 leagues this week and brought in Bolton & Walsh so good choices there. Orazio and Chapman to become Frederick and Salem. Might do Warner to Heeney next week.
For the first time this year, i didn’t get any carnage i did, however, get some spud scores but i am very happy overall how the team went this week. Trading in Ridley at 615k does hurt from a few weeks back =[
Studs:
Stewart
Short
Bowes
Walsh
Oliver
Taranto
Powell
Jordon
Grundy
* Had VC on Grundy all week until Friday morning. Switched to Macrae, but forgot to also switch C from Max to Grundy
* Rowe on field instead of Bergman – another last-minute stroke of genius
* Passed on Bolton because I didn’t want to burn two trades on Friday night – brought in Sidey instead
So there’s 150-odd points down the drain. Next week HAS to be better. At least Caleb Daniel remembered how to play footy this week!
1882/Grundy
Well I just don’t know where to start…
2 trades every round for a total of 14 used – NONE as up-grades
Danger,Rowell,Sloane,Neale,Dunkley…someone else I can’t remember… plus trying to correct most of my rookies…still got Cripps…Ridley,Boak and Martin out a game each…
Just gotta laugh really

First time inside the top 5k.
Walsh great on debut.
Traded in Bolton and Zorko this week, captained Grundy and moved up to rank 23 overall! Still have 23 trades left too, so pretty chuffed at the moment.
Any chance you wanna swap teams?

You’re dominating Gun’s Regulars #2, ty for carrying us lol.
Cheers GD!

1766/Gawn/10,916 (fell 6172)
BUT – it’s only 1 week – ready to go and make changes
2,082 / Grundy / 32,966
Captained Grundy and score in top 4% is pretty good. Don’t have Gawn so smiling (for now). Moved up 11,000 ranks. :).
2114/Grundy/2826 ^1589
10/10 Leagues.
Not too bad despite a bit of on field carnage.
2054 / Grundy / 18,600 (up 6,113 places)

2,087 / Grundy VC / 216th (was 230th)
$400 off Guthrie left me bringing in Treloar, still slightly bitter about that.
Chappy over Kosi 🙁 #rookieroulette
I think I’ve had it with Cripps, finally going to trade him.
PSA: I love Walsh.
My worst round ever with 22 on the field.
That is all. Actually I can’t remember a worse year.
2200/grundy/season 38518
ripper week for me – 365 overall and improved 19.2k in position after a horror first few rounds….light…tunnel…
2252 / GRUNDY / 813
49 overall for the round.
Climbing spots steadily and very happy with the look of my side at this point.
Will look to paint the fence and move on chapman and possibly gulden this round
1780/ Gawn / 12,936 (dropped 6,345)
Oh my lord what a round. Went into the round thinking I had covered my o’s, but then ended up with 2.
I had 7 outs from last week. Disaster. Then had Gawn captain….
2058/Grundy/3724 (up 875)

Good stuff, Tom.
Thought your C Gawn had me in with a shot, but Walsh saw me off. Nice trade in.
Thanks gd, I was 50/50 on Grundy and macrae but backed macrae which hurt obviously. I’ll be seeing you when we hopefully both make finals!
1785/Gawn/idc
This weeks heroes Ellis, Darling and J,Jones (out of nowhere) made a car crash bearable as I some mugged two people in my league matches.

1822/Grundy VC
Dropping like flies, 2 donuts this week which were unavoidable.
Somehow still ranked 27,111st despite 3 donut weeks in a row. I honestly feel like my rank should be double.
2062/Gawn – ranked 257, dropped 48 which was an awesome surprise.
VC on Bont and then went Gawn instead of my recruit Grundy plus dodgy showings from Tex, Jiath, Laird and Impey but I expect them all to tonne up next week!!

Likewise been VC Macrae/Grundy, I brought in Gawn this week and made him captain.
I’m sorry for the misfortune.

Second lowest score of the year. Still managed to win all 10 of my leagues & move up in ranking.
2038/Grundy/2374

Duds: Gawn, Ridley, Crisp, Orazio, Laird, Chapman, McGrath, Steele, Rowe, Warner, Impey.
Won 3/3 leagues this week and brought in Bolton & Walsh so good choices there. Orazio and Chapman to become Frederick and Salem. Might do Warner to Heeney next week.
1982/Grundy/17228 up 1956
So chuffed and honoured with the privilege of being smashed and desecrated by bAps@SCT.
Apologies in advance for any future injuries this appraisal may enhance.
Ps Onya bAps!!!

You want mistakes? I got mistakes:

* Rowe on field instead of Bergman – another last-minute stroke of genius
