I think I’m taking lairds score, Father Dougal wrote a very interesting post on just such a situation. I’m not certain on the stats but from memory , it’s something like 2/3rds of the time you go around the same or worse. As opposed to 1/3 of the time going better, even then its generally only by 10-50 points.
I’m currently projected 2514
Unlike your good self I have a heap of guys playing today /night.
Brayshaw
Danger
Hawkins
Stewart
Walsh
Steele
Crouch
Hoping for a Freo win and 1200+ by the end of the day.
Hind has been a fantastic pick. I had underestimated him a bit, I saw him a a bit of a boring 90-95 type player. Still amazing as a starting or early pick up. Maybe not so much an upgrade target, but he has been improving almost weekly.
After a solid early start, he is now starting to put the lower teams to the sword, and showing a higher ceiling.
This is the last year we see him as a Forward , so enjoy the ride while it lasts.
Anybody else looking forward to getting their butts kicked by Sunday Supercoach again? I’ve got 11 players active tomorrow and I’m scared. Decent start anyhow.
Should I put Taranto on the bench and loophole L Edwards so I can get Brambles 120 score. I know this is potentially very risky as Edwards is names 1st emerg on Mon night
Yes do it, Taranto won’t get near 120
No too risky, trust Taranto
In case you didn’t see my comment in the game thread. Edwards was the only one of the emergencies that didn’t play in the WAFL which almost guarantees him to be the sub on Monday.
Geez there’s gonna be some big scores this week I reckon! With weightmans 28 and not being able to put brambles 120 it’s been a hard week but grundy going large in the second half is massive for me! Need hall to go 128+ to beat my cash league opponent. On 2347 with hall and zieball to go projected 2562. Fingers crossed
220/ 2 / Oliver into Grundy
Had the VC on Oliver who was primed to score over 120 if he kicked that snag
But I think I’m gonna roll the dice on Grundy this week. Been good all year even after his injury. Fingers crossed he goes big again!
325/3/Steele ( VC Parish )
Salem, Satan and Gawn all saluted with a ton each to start off the round albeit not huge ones still happy.
505/4
Petracca, Boak, Satan and Gawn. Ticks all round.
Great start GD, its a shame Trac doesnt put up those scores consistently. Not many would have VC’d him!
393/3 (S. Darcy -> Jelly)
275 petracca and gawn
Vc petracca with 5 mins before game started
Had captain on Steele but obviously taking petracca
Is O’Connor going to tag Walsh and if so, how much will it curtail Walshs scoring
Comment please
387/3 Petracca Boak Gawn (vc zorko c bont) Proj 2713!
504/ 4
VC J Kelly
C Grundy
1012/7/Zerrett
Boring Saturday for me tmmrw, only 3 players. Will enjoy this score for now lol.
Nice start Gunboat.
I’m.. 468 / 3 / Laird.

Have a good one.
Big one for you, FT.
Good luck, ttyl.
So… Saturday went ok.
1242 / 10 / Laird.
Only real let downs were Hawkins and Crouch.
Weitering has a great record on Hawk so 70 isn’t terrible.
Crouch will have to be upgraded at this rate first Dunstan and now Jones have come in and taken a chunk of his CBA’s.
I’d love to get him to Petracca.
I’m still projected 2559 so hoping for a good score.
Best of luck everyone.
Still solid, FT.
1363/10/Zerrett on my end.
Miller and Lukosious to kick things off in an hour.
861/6/Merret
Nick Hind has been my best pick this year. Must be ranked in the top 4/5 fwds.
Good luck over the weekend.
Nice one Gary.

Great pick and good luck this weekend.
Great pick, Gary.
606 / 5 / Bont
Had the VC on Satan; going to roll the dice with The Bont
TU – Grundy and Cripps
TD – Marshall and Oliver
769/6/Zorko into Grundy
874)7
VC Sean Darcy and Brayshaw to come in a few hours.
Nice one Abs.
I hope Darcy can go huge for you.
With the minor side benefit that Freo get up lol?
Hahahaha, I’d still take it as long as the kids look good and Darcy goes large
Take watermans score or risk bramble?
Definitely take Watermans score!
Not worth the gamble
Cheers
Abs, take Waterman score or go with Madden (bris)?
He’s only gone over 66 2/5 times, (68 & 78)
With Lester in the squad I’d be wary of what his role will be.
Definitely not worth the gamble either IMO.
749 / 5 / Merrett

T/U take Oliver’s 118
T/D roll with Bont
1451)10 (C S. Darcy)
Have a feeling it’s going to be a Bloody Sunday….
Can take Bramble’s score.
Who to bench
TU – Bolton
TD – Sidebottom
Last minute C change to Zorko. VC laird. Is this a bad gamble
1244/9/Zerrett
Great start so far with Marshall my lowest score (95). Projected 2563.
1477/11/Merret/ 2663
13/1722 Steele.
Teams going little nuts this weekend.
Let’s see what today brings.
Massive scores coming this week…
Should I put Taranto on the bench and loophole L Edwards so I can get Brambles 120 score. I know this is potentially very risky as Edwards is names 1st emerg on Mon night
Yes do it, Taranto won’t get near 120
No too risky, trust Taranto
In case you didn’t see my comment in the game thread. Edwards was the only one of the emergencies that didn’t play in the WAFL which almost guarantees him to be the sub on Monday.
Kelly . Whit and Haynes first of 10 playing today.
Just Hall and Ziebell Monday.
Must be nice to have Neale back and scoring well.
He should be good for the run. I expect a big response from Brisbane next week.
It will be very tempting to “full send”, and get Crouch to a Neale / Petracca type. I will weigh up my options next week.
Miller v Kelly should be good to watch in this next match.
Have a great Sunday.
Yep, looked good last night. Put his hand up for the VC next week v Tigers.
Yeah, Crouch served you well but maybe time to upgrade him if trades allow.
Catch you over at the Giants Suns match chat.
Bolton 84
Sidebottom 57
Whitfield 32
Martin 74
Well played Sunday, you got me. Again.
Geez there’s gonna be some big scores this week I reckon! With weightmans 28 and not being able to put brambles 120 it’s been a hard week but grundy going large in the second half is massive for me! Need hall to go 128+ to beat my cash league opponent. On 2347 with hall and zieball to go projected 2562. Fingers crossed
2443/20/Zerrett
Just the two seagull brothers, Hall and Ziebell, to go.
Nice Gunboat.
Sunday wasn’t so kind to me.
2258 with the same to come.
Yeah. Tough with Whitfield, FT. Sorry about that.
2,250/20/Touk Touk
Wtf Sidebum and Harmes
Come on Hurn and Ziebell tomoz
2514/21/Steele
Ziebell to come. Looking at my third straight 2500+
2450/20 w/ ziebell and hall to go. Steele(C).. proj 2665
2421)19
With Zieball / T. Thomas and Hall to go
Hopefully crack 2700
Huge, Abs.
Thomas robbed last week, per Jack’s Scoring Anomalies the other day.
Expecting him to carve us up tmmrw.
You’ll easily go 2700+, great stuff.
Thanks GD, I did see that, he was very, very good from the 2nd quarter onwards and got scaled back considerably!
Everytime I check the Anomalies I leave gutted seeing some of the scaling ahaha
BOL to us both!
2465 w hall and ziebell to play, proj. 2680, bit of luck and I mate crack 2700!
2356 w hall+ziebell
lost 40pts fielding Weightman instead of taking waterman E, got greedy
Can’t complain about the rest of the round
2423 with Hall/Ziebell to go.
Jiath is done for the season, 4 trades and 6k in the bank. I wanted to upgrade Madden, not attend to this, bloody hell.
Classic Sunday special with Whitfield, Taranto, Dusty and Bolton all under performing =[
