Not necessarily. A good SC score isn't JS. Remember Laidler was the highest scoring Swan in Rnd 1 last year, and was dropped for Rnd 2!
I think those four players actually played quite well today though, while Laidler's score was one of those seemingly random good scores rather than deserved (bit like Acres 91 v Carlton).

1055/12, no captain.

Highest scorer was JPK with 127. Third year in a row I've started him in my side and am very happy :D

Dodged 2 massive bullets with rockliff and parker. Originally had a rockliff and parker VS fyfe and jpk scenario. Went with the latter. (Altho fyfe yet to play)

With 10 players including Captain to play (7 prems + 3 rookies)

Newnes, Shaw, CEY, Goldy, Fyfe (C), Gray, Selwood, Bartel, Clark & one of Cockatoo/Anderson

Hoping for 2100 minimum, 2200 would be great.

Anybody have Hector Bellerin in their side? Good week for seemingly fantasy irrelevant defenders globally it seems.

1280/14 Fyfes captain still to come.

Nailed absolutely everything bar Cripps/Salem and unfortunately Rocky. Makes it worse the fact that he was on 70 at about half time. Hopefully it's just bruising but realistically that's a trade gone. Ablett? Got 120 for running through the banner. Likes riches game a lot and was a fan of him preseason, just got put off by beams. Hopefully the rest of the round goes smoothly. No standouts so far but no real disasters bar Rocky.

1433/15. JPK Captain

Luckily got most on-field rookies right. Had Newton, Vandenberg on field in the mids, McIntosh in defence, Hogan forward.

Salem ok, Goodes ok but would have preferred Saad on field and Heeney on field instead of P.Cripps

My mids have been the positive. Ablett, Pendles and JPK very good, Swan with his 111 Nic Nat and TBC solid in the ruck.

Went with my gut and brought in Hibberd- not something I'm too happy with and would like more from Dusty but nearly 1 in 2 teams have him.

Have Shaw, Newnes, Fyfe, Gibson, Jelwood, Bartel and Clark to come

Hoping for 2200 but a score around the 2100 mark more realistic.

North Melb.
I wonder who the first ruck to score 100+ will be... Mumford, Jacobs, Goldy, Sandi...

there is no chance he'll play next week, he could hardly walk/breathe
