Ordinary start to the year with so many underwhelming rookie scores.
Neale had one of his worst ever games.
Perryman was down after last week.
Garcia looks like a flick.
Most other premos were unders, Sheezel, Serong and JHF
Pretty happy with Cerra, Rozee, Macrae, Daniel and Smith so far. Only premos that did well were TDK and Xerri.
Took a punt had vc xerri but rolled the dice and Anderson went well
Couple of underperforming rookies particularly in the red & black colours but they will still generate cash and that’s their job
Horrible but still 20k higher than round one last year.
Some of my speculative punts may turn into “punted” as they did not so well. Included Milera, Cleary, Ryan and Tastes from the so called experienced ones. First year rookies are all forgiven as they will find their way at differing levels.
Liked the look of Bice and Draper when they came on for limited time.
Not a great start but I think it’s a lot of good players just not quite firing so not going to panic cause I trust the structure. Garcia, Sanders and Tsatas are the only 3 I’m reconsidering. I’ve got cash for Sanders to Smith so I’ll do that and maybe Tsatas to Ashcroft who I cut when Fagan said he’d be sub
Pretty happy, aced my captain. Had a nice finish with Anderson and Flynn clawing my score up and lucked out in some rookie roulette.
The only issues, and It’s going to sound like a late night infomercial but I’ve got a wee P problem in Perryman, Peatling, Parker and Powell Pepper. Gonna require surgery. Just who to cut first….
I expected Parker to really go hard, but bits of the game I saw, I was not impressed with him. I may be able to swap him for SDK. It’ll be a hard long think…
Stats were a lot better than 69, but he seems out of CD’s good books. I’m a hold for another round. he’s not losing money and rookie cash cows are a bigger correction requirement.
But if there’s a rookie 100-200k cheaper than him on the same points next week he’s gotta go.
2,148, Xerri, not to bad, as with a lot, left points on the bench. SPP…hmmm….not sure if I’ll give him a mulligan and another chance, or trade to a cheaper rookie…might let the dust settle for a day or 2…
Neale very disappointing. After Bont went down quickly followed by Butters my attention turned to the Lions. 50/50 call was wrong. Bailey Smith had the best game he will have all year, that also hurt.
Got the Levi news and dropped FOS. That will save a trade. Small win.
Placed 11k over all.
Decision will be. Keep Flynn or replace with smith.? Both highly owned.
Last minute changes of SDK to Perryman and punting Baz after having him since the team picker opened stung as a Cats fan. I still think Baz will be managed but I have missed the big score.
Not great. Left creating my team a bit later than usual and tried a couple PODs who haven’t worked out. How it usually goes lol. Still, it feels like minor adjustments are needed at the moment and can feel out the next week or so without cracking it and pulling a boost out this early.
i didn’t have any massive POD’s, but the few lower owned players (under 29% owned) all did good: Dawson, Cerra, Rankine, Holmes, Gawn, Brayshaw, Rozee all cracked the 100+.
I didn’t have any terrible scores JHF and Short’s 83’s were my worst of the non-rookies.
i avoided Day, Perryman, Neale, Sanders, Peatling who were all in and out of the last few days.
happy with that. could have easily been 2250+ with the right rookies on field (knevitt flex, ashcroft for tsatas). couple disappoiting scores from tsatas, sanders, perryman but could have been a lot worse
2288 / Xerri
very happy and sitting 392 in rankings….
May I just say – I have NEVER been that high in rankings so will bask in the sunshine until the inevitable happens…
Stewart was on track for a big day before the injury but still capped the ton.
Holmes, Rankine, TDK and Flynn (for his price) flew the flag.
I dropped Lashcroft like many others on the sub news and left out some key rookies, but that’s just how it goes round 1. Now the question is who goes for Lashcroft, O’Drisc and Knevitt.

Plenty of decisions running through my mind now

Good job Dan.

2054, Sheezel Captain
couple of dice throws didn’t work so have to change it back a bit – seems trying for PODs isnt my strong point
to make matters worse – the team i put in for my husband, because he forgot, got 2283
I’ve had that happen before. Works because it’s clinical.
Legitimate reply. I think my mum’s temporary team beat my dad’s team for exactly that reason.
2102/ Gawn/ bout 41,000
Neale, SPP and some crap rookies hurt but my pies had a good win so not all bad!
2047/Gawn/65k

A lot of people cut Ashcroft and will be keen to get him back.
With WCE next week, crazy move. Need to hold Neale also. The Lions next 2 months are juicy.
Sub risk reduced. Legitimate response.
2103/TDK, 41k

2163/Xerri/17k
2109 – highlights Gawn C, TDK VC. Early days no panic
2213, xerri. Happy enough with that. I left some points on the bench, but hindsight is 20/20.

2131/Gawn/29k
2147 (22855 overall)
75000 better than last years rabble.

2118 / Gawn / 34K
Good things? Brought in Rankine at the last minute
Bad things? Dumped Smith and TDK to afford Rankine
Solid enough start though
2063 / Sheezel / 58k
Not great. Left creating my team a bit later than usual and tried a couple PODs who haven’t worked out. How it usually goes lol. Still, it feels like minor adjustments are needed at the moment and can feel out the next week or so without cracking it and pulling a boost out this early.
2000 in week 1 is usually the breakeven mark. Plenty of time to turn it around mate.
Having not reaching 2000 I’m too red-faced to provide my score!! Haha
2269/Gawn/867th

Solid score there. Top 1000 in week 1 is always a special event.
Great start, well done.
2214/Xerri/5.5k
happy with that. could have easily been 2250+ with the right rookies on field (knevitt flex, ashcroft for tsatas). couple disappoiting scores from tsatas, sanders, perryman but could have been a lot worse
Week 1 cracked 2200, awesome.
2288 / Xerri
very happy and sitting 392 in rankings….
May I just say – I have NEVER been that high in rankings so will bask in the sunshine until the inevitable happens…
Very nice Cuz.
Happy for you cuz. Massive start.
2147 – Sheezel.
Midprice madness was a mid result.
Sanders, Parker and Day disappointed.
Stewart was on track for a big day before the injury but still capped the ton.
Holmes, Rankine, TDK and Flynn (for his price) flew the flag.
I dropped Lashcroft like many others on the sub news and left out some key rookies, but that’s just how it goes round 1. Now the question is who goes for Lashcroft, O’Drisc and Knevitt.
2143/TDK/24K
