Can't even go out to socialize without coming back to see absolute carnage absolutely everywhere. This round is completely f****d!!
Traded in Cameron instead of Howe which now looks like a completely failed trade :mad::mad::mad:
Add in Whitfield's score in the forward line alongside D.Smith not playing, Dusty not playing, and King & Taylor absolute ****house scores.

Got Pickett as an emergency instead of T.Brown who ofcourse went off today cuz he wasn't in my starting team.
McInerney dropped lol. Bennell not playing but luckily I switched Budarick to mids instead of Dusty so I can bring him on field.

You know what the funny thing is????? I came into last weekend fully expecting to get a horrible score but came out with a very solid score.
I went into this weekend expecting to do pretty well again but won't even reach 1900 let alone 2000 :mad::mad::mad:

It's the hope that destroys you huh :cautious:
Socialize???
Chairman Dan has just told Victorians they are not the messiah, they have been very naughty people and instead of 10 visitors to your house you can now only have 5. Should at least allow an even figures like 6 so you can have an even number of pairs for charades. Twister is out of the question.

I can't use Grundy as the V/Capt now, and I think Gawn will score more then Neale, but Gawn may get a 0 and I will be stuck with Grundy's poor Capt score, hmmm. So play safe I guess, and make Neale capt???
Exact same position, with same players.

I’m thinking Neale, as much as I’d hope Gawn will play and would definitely pick him if I knew he would.
I'm sticking with Gawn.

The more I think about it, the more I don't think they will do Best 18. Half of our players where locked already either onfield or on the bench when this happened, and we where never given the shot to get those bench players back onfield.

With the ADE v GEE situation, we went into the round knowing it was best 18 and could re-arrange bench players... we had no option to do that this time as some bench players where locked already and without the Emergency on them.

So I think that might rule out the best 18 option. I have 6 players and 2.27m locked up in MEL & ESS players so it would be extremely unfair to give people like me zero's when others might have zero dollars locked up in MEL & ESS players.

Also I really believe Neale will have a hard time tonight and even more so with Zorko now out. So Gawn it is, lol

See what happens I guess.

Agree. I'm not really happy with Neale or Cripps.

This has been a frustrating day. I know its selfish of me but I have 7 players in that Ess vs Dees game with the big C stuck on Gawn. I would love the season average option if it comes to that, but how realistic is that option? I also don't find it fair if there were to be donuts given but whatever choice its the nature of the game and I will have to suck it up. I knew I shouldn't have gotten excited for not having Whitfield in my team....dammit haha

I tend to agree.

Not sure if Neale gets up against WC from his Freo days, but his record is decent.

I like your logic but I reckon I’ll go Neale, partly because I think SC made the wrong decision last time, so I’m not that confident they will land on the right decision this time.
