Pretty happy with new recruit Dawson in. Captain could’ve gone higher but can’t be helped. Won 8 of 10 leagues and one of the ones I lost was by one damn point!!! Oh well. Hopefully no trades needed this week. We live in hope.
Sunday was actually friendly for once! Score includes 26 from Judson Clarke with Butters and Preuss on the bench, so overall I don’t have many complaints.
2619/Witts/ was 17k
holy smokes
best score ever by a lot
+3=Stewart, Laird, trade in Witts, Oliver, Walsh, Bont and Brodie
-3= trade in salem over hall (100 points), Short
This has been a very poor week for me. 10 premos scored a sub tonne, with only 2 of them in the 90s. This has Ryan, Prestia and Taranto with 50, 16 and 56…..
I thought Taranto would perform a lot better under McVeigh, yet he had heaps of turnovers. Prestia as an ultra POD really hurt me because of Stewart, plus I don’t him so I missed his score, but won’t worry about his suspension.
My trade in of ROB was a great choice so I have at least 1 positive this week. I hope this isn’t a 1 off though.
Lost every game this week and will drop a lot in the rankings. I hope my 7 trades left can be a massive benefit if more premos cop weeks out
Used my last trade boost to deal with Butters, English, Preuss & Teakle and a very real donut in the rucks without trades. Appreciated the addition of Bont &
L Jackson who were great replacements,but additional trade in of Clarke’s 26 who I had to field at F6 hurt, but better than a donut. Won 7/10 leagues – 2 of the losses by 10 points to the same coach (SG Ninjas). Now to deal with the Stewart brain fart.
2371/Macrae/ Was 8699
Good round considering l was covering English and Butters and won 5 leagues . Thanks GB for gifting me 2 wins .
Started round well with new inclusion Jackson .
Would normally be stoked with Stewart’s score but his indiscretion as well as trading out Dekoning instead of McCartin hurt . Parker , Rosas , Ryan , Sicily and Sinclair also underwhelming .
Solid scores from my premiums .
2534/the Bont/was 21292 but hopefully go up.
7 out of 7 league wins
Shout out to SDK for tonight up.
Will have to deal with the Stewart situation but most people will.
I have 8 trades and zero boosts and 170k in the bank
Hopefully Preuss is back this week.
Can’t complain won all my leagues
English on the bench to come back in and only need to deal with my last rookie in mccartin
Not sure what to do with Xerri ( he was very handy as cover in the ruck ) but I have Teakle so could use the extra $$
Still have 10 trades so teams in good health leading into finals
This round can be aptly summed up by the following, my bench cover (N Daicos) outscored 7 of my ‘premium’ players, may go bold this week and jettison Ryan to get my last forward.
For those who have been paying attention, yes my tech side did better again, dropping in 2414.
8/10 league wins.
Had butters benched and took McCombs 59 that I looped to have another week to reassess after Bont went BIG. I was trading to one of Heeney (59), Jez (90) or Taranto (56) before holding so it worked out okay looking at their scores. Will luxury him to Bont now I think.
Dead last in the contrib’s league. Couldn’t handle the three big outs and decided to keep my boost and traded in Nank and Heeney, but unfortunately wasn’t thinking straight and left Butler on the field thinking I’d swap him when I traded in Heeney for Butters DUH!!!
Trades plan out the window so had to field McComb and McCartin, not ideal.
New recruit Heeney BURNT me. Stupid fellow, (When will you learn)? Great scores from Witts, Nank, Laird, Satan, Brodie and Macrae stalled what could’ve been disaster. There’s always next week.
My forward was my downfall (Heeney, Parker, Dusty and McCartin). I would’ve had my newest recruit Cameron in there instead of McCartin, but I needed cover for English and wasn’t willing to do an extra trade. Hobbs and Sinclair were my other two villians, but everywhere else was pretty consistent.
Finally got a C pick right. Quite happy with the score seeing as I had to field Clarke’s due to keeping Butters and Gawn. Also lucked out by not bringing in Stewart.
Lost all 10 leagues and moved down 61 spots in SCT group.
Copped a donut in the rucks and the weekend got worse from there. When a bench rookie scores more than your captain who played a full game then it’s time to write off the week and move on to next round.
2471/Oliver/100 down to 114
Going backwards 🙁 score not bad but not surprising given I had to take Clarke’s score of 26 (please play this week Timmy!) and ordinary performances from Crisp, Parker, Short, Doch, Brayshaw… Still great work from Witts, Clarry, Dawson, Walsh, Brodie and Bont… ran a defender heavy through the byes and flicked one of my PODs in Houston (over Crisp, Doch) which may come back to bite me the way Cogs continues to…
Nailed my captain for only the second time this year, but also had to cop a doughnut in the fwds. Too many sub par “Premo” scores and I needed to field Rioli JNR & McComb which probably hurt me overall.
Got 8 trades (& 3 boosts) left. One forward spot to fill but still carrying Butters & English, hoping one or both come good this week.
Every week I think maybe this is the week I start my charge up the rankings, but alas, after gaining some ground through the byes, I’ve slipped backwards this round.

We shall not speak of this round again.
2,204/Mills/was 8,751 – but going way down after this performance.
Missing English & Parish, Ryan being outscored by Wehr on my bench and Mills putting up a sub-ton as Captain.
2146/Macrae/17k pre ranks
Usually wait for SC open but f*ck this round lol.
Parish donut then Brayshaw, Hawkins, Clarke, Mills and Heeney all ass. Yowza.
Oofff….
Ooof indeed, BB.
Saw your 2591 though, great work!
Thanks mate. Had a bit of luck, but I’ll take it and run!
Huge BB well done.
Well done BB

Thought l was doing ok till l saw you had Witts and Dekoning as E
Thanks gents.
Yep, you were looking good on Sat night PB.

An increase to 2312 from that last game, slightly makes me feel better
2582 / Macrae / was 9570
Best score of the season. Shout out to Laird who I just brought in scoring 150+
Might bring in Sicily for Stewart.
2595/Clarry/ should be in the top 1k now
Oh what could’ve been had Mills not sh#t the bed. Although I was fortunate I hung on SDK…

Great job, Lisa!
Great score Lisa. Good to see one of those wins was in Wighty’s league to help me get back on top haha
Super close Lisa, thought you were in the clear until Cameron kicked his second goal during the 4th.
Have to deal with the same fart and only 2 trades left , think I’ll turn him into Hall but will see.

This will be close!! Absolutely rapt with my team. Was bold and traded English for Liber this week which saved me from fielding Clarke…whew!!
2512) Macrae
Goodbye Stewie, one of my better starting picks.
Fielding Rioli Jr over Curtis and not C’ing Witts hurts. Should still just be outside the top 1k.
2429 / Macrae / was 10K.
5/10 League wins.
Went all the way to Melbourne to see Freo lose. The good news is I got to meet Gunboat and he is a top bloke ! Thanks for lift mate 😉
Haha. Nice one FT & GD!

Thankfully I’ve missed Stewarts carnage

Beat my main league opponent by 1 until Witts got scaled up by 4 points…

2315/Macrae/??
Not my best week, only won 2/8 league matches.
My forward was my downfall (Heeney, Parker, Dusty and McCartin). I would’ve had my newest recruit Cameron in there instead of McCartin, but I needed cover for English and wasn’t willing to do an extra trade. Hobbs and Sinclair were my other two villians, but everywhere else was pretty consistent.

Big ups to new recruits Bont & Jackson. Hobbs was yuck though
Was 19k 4 weeks ago, so making a late season charge to hopefully be in top 3k (my PB)
LOL all the cookie cutters throwing high fives at 10k -5k -2k
give me a spell
Bad week Finnigin? Did you drop from 50th to 51st?
Post your ranking with a screen shot or stfu champ.
2490 / Macrae / 1869
Really happy, was a bit of a yo -yo round, but with both English and Preuss on the pine, can’t complain.
Like a lot of others, have Stewart to deal with this week, but not the end of the world with 8 trades left.
2,572/Oliver/422 (up 242)
Reckon that’s as good as it gets for my side – 2 trades left and need to deal with Stewart (only cover is Wehr).
Hope I don’t have to field both Anderson and Lipinski again but it’s good to have cover at M9/F7 with the 3 ruck combo of Witts, English, Cameron.
Let’s see what happens with Stewart and whether English is straight back in before moves are made.
Good luck for the rest peoples!
2487/Macrae/3618
Moved up 705 spots.
Traded English to Liberatore but kept Butters and fielded MacDonald for his 67.
Like a lot of people I have to deal with Stewart with only 4 trades left.

Only big disappointment was Heeney, and having to field M. Rioli because of injuries / suspension.
