3/455 Zorko
Zorko VC 141x2 :cool:
Dunkley 90 :(
Steele 83 :rolleyes:

Zorko came in this week and was trusted with VC duties. Somewhat unhappy given the poor second half but tell me he scores 141 pre-game, I’d take it in a heartbeat. Happy I jumped on early despite the BE. Dunkley has been very poor since I’ve traded him in. 89, 115, 99, 104, and now 90. Not what I paid 618k for. Can’t wait until I can trade Steele next week. Such a frustrating own. Not even remotely close to his early season form. Even got sent forward to pay attention to Zorko at the end.

Bont, Ryan, Serong, Heeney, Grundy, Rankine, Dale, Jackson, Moore, Freijah, and Dowling tomorrow. Big day.

Yes another valiant effort, and then losing.:cautious:
Yeah but we kicked over 100 pts, so last week is all on Gold Cost and dimma 🤣
So crazy to me that Schoenmaker slid down to pick 62. The off field issues must’ve scared a few clubs off.
Didn’t Jack Darling slip down the draft for similar reasons? Or another West Coast tall?

Played: D Zorko (C), J Dunkley, J Steele and A Schoenmakers (new recruit)
Yet to play:
Saturday: M Bontempelli, C Daniel, N Fyfe, L Jackson, H Young, D Moore (new recruit), B Dowling, B Grundy and I Heeney
Sunday: Z Fisher, H Sheezel, N Daicos, N Kreuger (new recruit), L Sullivan, T Green, Z Butters and D Houston

Gawn receives the captaincy duties with VC Zorko banked. Fantastic return after selecting him over Flanders last round. Dunkley purchase pre bye has been disappointing given the outlay. Floor and consistency expected but was hoping for the high ceiling more often. Considered Sinclair but opted for Moore instead as this would allow Daniel (M9), Fyfe (F7) and A Schoenmakers (D7) rather than pushing Stewart to the bench once we exit the byes. 21 available this round so hopefully third time lucky for Daniel repaying the faith so that the three remaining rookies do not count this round.

I’m a jinx, every premo I trade in bombs. Neale this week, Warner last week, Gawn the week before.

i was in the same boat. I just hope Errol doesn’t fire and makes me regret it further.

The higher the entry price, the higher the fall and therefore there should be expectation of failure given the significant return on investment required in comparison to other players who may outperform them for a lower cost. Establish price ranges in which you seek to purchase certain players or for certain positions to avoid scenarios in which $600k upgrade targets consistently under-deliver on expectations and lost points are being chased.

Zorko (VC), Sinclair, Marshall.

Great start to the week, and very glad to lock in the VC early with how my choice of Daicos as captain turned out last week. Still trying to decide which of English or Marshall to trade to Gawn next week. 14 weeks without Max hopefully coming to an end soon.
