  1. If all of my players got their average, I’d have scored 2350. I scored 1850. I’ve never had a round like it, unbelievable!
    English, Cripps, Boak, Simpkin, Smith, Doc, Yeo all under 80. All of my rookies scored under 60. Then Grundy as captain to top it off. Fun….

    1. Dw daise. I have a round or two like that a year and still finish fine. It happens, put it behind you and move forward. Your luck will turn.

  2. 2332/Gawn/5k

    Good score with a Hill donut I think. Hurt fielding Berry and Bennell over Hayden’s 105 and Aarts 50.

    T/U Rise significantly

    T/D Solid and above par but not enough to rise in excess of 3000 spots

  3. 2160/Grundy to Gawn

    Bit of a struggle to catch up really after only having having 700 from my first twelve, including Maccrae’s 169.

    Stars Gawn, Mac, Neale,Trac and nice scores from Viney, Whitfield, Ridley and Baz. Happy enough, with 5/10 league wins.

    Spud boys were Dev, Reg, Doc with Bont, Treloar and Danger not much better.
    One bonus is I saved a trade on Close as he’s been on my bench since R1.

  4. 2197/Macrae

    Really rude of Simpson not to scale up to 52 to at least get me to an even 2200.

    Keen to solve out this M6, 7 & 8 riddle – just sucks to not have any decent cash to do so with ease.

  5. 2,481/Gawn – waiting on rank.

    I received massive scores from Macrae, Kelly, Lloyd, Oliver & Gawn all going over 150.

    Having players like Weller, Doedee, Devon, Doc, Grundy all hurt this week as they couldn’t break 70. Hoping Doedee is still able to play next week.
    Had the wrong rookies on the field with Minchington over Georgiades, held me back.
    Duncan made up for his out with a good 148 mainly from 2 quarters of footy. Lyons also did a great job of 147, so my PODs are putting in some decent performances, shame others are at the other end though.

    Ok score considering I coped the McKenzie donut. Lost 700 spots last round, hope it is not too bad this round. Will start trading to get 18 on the field in R10. Thankful we got the extra trades for it.

  8. Some huge variations in scores this round – plenty over 2400 and some good teams under 2000. Should be lots of movement at the top of the table.

  9. 2271/Gawn/1537 (+900)

    Lloyd, Sicily, Neale, Macrae, J. Kelly, Gawn and Petracca all went huge. Allowed me to absorb ass scores from Doch, Williamson, Cripps, Grundy, Smith, Berry and Taylor.

    1537’s the highest I’ve ever been, very happy. Double upgrade this week and press the attack!

  10. 2349/Gawn/6940th (up 8,166 spots)

    After two weeks of sub-1900 scores I’ve now had two weeks of 2300+. 10/10 league wins and moved up 109 spots in SCT group. What a game!

    Eleven 100+ scores including 5 of 150+. Ten sub-70. What a rollercoaster.

    Probably triple downgrade this week to build bank for the rest of footypalooza.

  11. 2229 / McRae / 29th (down from 17th)

    Pros: Lloyd, Sicily, Neale, McRae, Gawn and Brayshaw all going large.

    Cons: 10 players <75. Too many to name.

    Not a huge score but was good enough to maintain a high ranking.

    Need to deal with Doedee this week which was unforeseen. Hurn would be a direct swap but with the WC bye coming up, will probably need to look elsewhere.

    1. Tom Doedee questionable for rd 9. Expected to be right but “timeframes and general load management will be carefully considered” – Steve Saunders Adelaide’s head of science and Medicine.
      Who knew they had a person with that title?

  12. 2,067/Gawn/1,548 (-970)

    Dropped out of the top 1000 for the first time since Round 2, due to some putrid scores from Taylor, Williamson, Simpkin, DSmith and Boak and the Carlton boys Cripps and Doch. Great scores from Sicily, Ridley, Steele, Neale, Macrae, Gawn, Walters and Whitfield softened the blow a bit.

    Need to get Petracca and Lloyd in ASAP I think. Can’t wait for the mayhem of 20 straight days of footy, going to be very interesting from a season and SC perspective!

    Been my best year of SC so far (7th year), big props to the SC talk team – content is always spot on and a bright spot in a tough year for everyone!

    1. 2331 – Gawn (C) – 2384 (+2897)

      Jelly! Finally. Great scores from Sic, Clarry, Trac. Very happy I started with Grawndy & Neale. Nervous about future cash generation as I’ve missed on a couple of rookies but it’s gonna be a fun few weeks!

  13. 2208/ Gawn/ 8569

    Still in recovery after starting terribly & being down around 50k on overall after round 3

    Had to cop a donut because of Hill but that’s my fault & not the first time that no def bench cover has hurt me. Other fails this week were Dev Smith, Doedee injury, Simpkin sore, Doc tagged & Grundy dominated. However lots of others had the same & some much worse.

    On the other hand J Kelly amazing with Gawn, Oliver, McRae, Haynes, Brayshaw & Petracca

  14. 2359/Gawn/ Ranked 2030

    What a rollercoaster of a round! Glad I held onto D.Cameron and Georgiades, not glad they were both sitting on the bench..haha

      1. Hey GB

        Your man Yeo has stuffed my trade plans for this week.

        Unless he fights it, he will miss 2 weeks ( R10 Bye )

        That makes him a must trade in this short season.

        I’m either going to trade him to B Smith or Daniel via Starc.

        Are you getting on Close ? or Watson ?

        1. Close surely only a short term fix with Selwood and Dahl out. Watson looks to have much better js.

        2. Yeah, Yeo gonna punish the 9% who’ve got him – and also us, need him v Geelong.

          Probably going to bring Close in. Goal in the wet should keep him on the selection committee’s radar for a few weeks.

  15. Scored 2316 which included Serong on the bench and pickett on field. Could easily have been 2380.
    Rose 2916 spots to 2740. The rd 3 debacle of missing 500+ pts and dropping 28k spots is starting to give me nightmares.
