  1. 2,293/Darcy/was 44,949

    Thought I went alright this round, but alas, only won 5 of 10.

    Some nice scores from Captain Darcy, Laird, Dawson, Daicos, Dunkley, Marshall and new recruit Touk.

  2. 2110/Serong/ Was 3544

    Big drop in the ranks coming up. Very lucky to have nailed Serong.

    Poor scores from ROB, Saad, Dale and LDU. Topped off by DeGoey late out leaving me a 13 from sub Bytel.
    Glad its over. Great weekend of footy though.

    Finally a somewhat decent score for a round! Finally I should get an increase in rankings
    Only 3 premos didn’t reach the tonne being Gulden, Ridley and Green

    Only real poor performance was Mackenzie getting 14 after being subbed on at half time.

  4. 2380/Dawson/was 12,853 and expect to jump into top 10k , won 8/10 leagues , happy!

    No Laird or Oliver but new recruit Stewart was excellent on debut – was let down by McKenna (Wilmot bench) and Chandler (F. Greene bench).

    Ninjas Tech team was similarly huge – cracked 2350 and hope to be in the top 10 (and to maybe stop trading….)

    Ranked 39.5K before this round.
    Won 7 out of 8 leagues

    I have pretty good depth all over the field.
    Looking at Mitchell from Hawthorn to trade in before round 7. Need to see if he holds his spot when Day returns.
    For the life of me I do not know what Jack Bowes is thinking when he’s wandering around-the footy ground. Seems lost.
    He and Callaghan are on the chopping block.

    Won 8/8 in the leagues and hopefully moving in the right direction now OA as many players finally stepped up and things clicked. Cash gen looks sketchy so will need to be careful with spending.

    1. Great stuff, TC.

      You were the only person to deal me a league defeat. Rat and Greene decided to have their best games of the season lol and cover a crucified Cogs lol.

      Hope you shoot up the ranks!

  7. 2305 / Stewart / 4420

    Had the cash for Neale but went LDU instead. Goofed that one up big time. Can’t complain too much though

  8. 2255/ Laird/ was inside top 2k

    DeGoey a late out cost me a score that would have most likely held my rank, now expect to drop a fair way.

  9. 2352/Laird/26k

    Jumped up 18k in the rankings
    Finally it starts to click was trying to work out how to trade Worpel & L Jones prior to the round thank goodness I didn’t both lifted and have generated some much needed cash

    Up 1400 places after popping that score. Great to have Neale fire.

    Trades crucial this week. Got away with a light DEF line this weekend, doubt it holds again.

    1. Great effort GD.

      Going very well and keep soaring up the rankings.

      Congratulations on your victory over my team in the contributors league. Not that my team was ever going to trouble your mighty side.

      All the best, my friend.

    Big scores from Dawson, Dacios, Laird, Neale, Bont, English, Marshall & Dunks. I have a big problem though as I went early on Yeo and I’m now stuck with what looks like a key defender. Not sure what to do there any advice would be appreciated.

  13. 2352 / Bont / 4515

    Happy with this score, especially as no Dawson or Laird. Won 9/10 match-ups, but frustratingly, still with no wins in my cash league and sitting 16th but on top of the ladder if I look at the total points rank.
    Couple of rookies with high BE’s – Mackenzie & Ginbey – might be time to cash them in for some cash to improve my back line

    Attended Gather Round without travelling more than 3km.
    Cooked best curry I ever made.
    Cracked a Barossa shiraz for good measure.

    Life’s Good!

  15. 2332 / JD / 1500

    Heroes – JD, daicos, stewart, Grundy, Bont, Hopper, Marshall, dunks, Tarantula, ziebbs and cheezel.

    Potatoes- Simpson and Sam Mitchell for completely ruining my cash generation going forward. Ross Lyon I’m looking at you to. My rookies are cooked. Bytel, ginbey and Mackenzie could all be moved on this week after copping Green & red vests.

    But I’ll keep chipping away I have money in the bank, trades in plenty and a good OA rank

  16. Very unlucky Lisa. I’m in that league too. You have lost by 8,17,48 and 37 so far. Your luck will turn. Hope to see you in the final.

    Team value 11.77m
    Reasonably Happy, first half decent score of the year and did it with Day on the bench, McKenna ,Ginbey,Chandler,Wilmot and Hollands on field.
    A big hello to Wilkie and Stewart- who replaced Cogs and Ridley. Sideways I know but just not performing for their price. Now working out when to get Dawson and Laird… Just checked against last season re cash gen and saw that my score at this time last year which had me at 26k would be good for top 800 this year and the team value was 12.17m which is near the top. What do you guys think will be par team value for a top team this year and when do you all think it needs to be reached. Also can’t help but give big ups to GD, that biblical tome you put together in the off-season about team density by position etc looks to really be paying off for you, I know it’s a big help to me!

  18. 2406 / Stewart C / 172

    Very happy to see Neale and Merrett repay my faith, although the latter likely to get rubbed out. With McKenzie and Ginbey as options to chop, it’s gonna be a question of which ~500k premo to get in.

    Overall had a Great round. Wish I’d have been braver and put the C on someone else left 60+ points on the table not putting it on Bont/English

    Stoked that Neale fired, can start climbing after a rather up and down start.

    1. 2226/Oliver/62

      Fell 53 spots, but 180 points off top 4. Fallen down to 2nd in WA. Still blown away with the fact I’m in the top 1k, let alone in the top 100.

      Really disappointed in myself for not sticking with Daicos as my C. Got all flustered with realising I couldn’t loophole Oliver if I chose to, so just switched his VC to C.

    Pretty ordinary round. Had 9 players 100+ but a big difference in scores between my top and bottom players. I had Bailey Dale, Patrick Cripps and Charlie Curnow who were all very disappointing in regard to their expectations.
