Happy with that in what can only be described as a messy round.

I have been beating myself up all day for having Reid in the mids last night when I had 4 forwards playing today and no bench cover. Of course Fyfe then named sub which meant I had to field him rather than bench him for Rogers. Net cost 7 points.

ps. …and I beat Mike Hussey.

Didn’t think things could get any worse than last round. The SC Gods had other ideas.

Traded a banged up Steele for a fit Green for a loss of 107 points.

Fielded the higher averaging Clohesy over Wilson for a loss of 81 points.

Initial plans were to go Gawn into Serong as Captain but with the Pies midfield outs I changed it to Walsh into Gawn for a loss of 26 points.

These moves reversed and I win 14/15 league matches instead of just the three that I actually won. An improvement on last round’s one win I guess! 😂

In addition to Green, add in a further 6 scores on field under 60 including the injured Rozee and it’s just a recipe for absolute disaster.

It’s bound to turn around next round, it just has to. 🙏

2185 with Bont Captain…
Glad to get out of this round with a semi reasonable score considering the carnage.
Green 5, Fyfe sub score just to name a few amongst the poor rookie scores…
Ryan amazing with his 197 and skipper Bont came to the rescue…
Well done to all of those teams whom survived the carnage and posted decent scores on here.

Thanks, I somehow managed to dodge nearly all the carnage, just Yeo and got most of the big scores plus had the right rookies on field.

Nice one Dave. Flying the flag for our cashy this round.

Would have to give the weekly a shake.
