Yes, I was breathing a sigh of relief when I saw Petrock go nowhere after half time (again). At some point it is going to click for him, hopefully he will be in my team when it happens!

These splits don’t mind me as long as he continues averaging 105!

My midfield looks like a forward zone ...

Whitfield
Andrew Brayshaw
Devon Smith

Currently have Whitfield & Devon Smith , if I decide on the Rankine ride at F6 , Bailey Smith will be in my mids come Round 8.

IF I can somehow upgrade my onfield rookies , I might be able to swing them forward by sideways trading Butler , Ceglar & TJL.

Bont , Duncan & Gaff all should be a nice price in a few weeks.

All achievable if I don't look at my D5 & D6.

1562/17

One of those weekends, hmmm
Starcevich (31), Young (1), Ceglar (43), D Smith (68), C Taylor (15), Steele (87), B Long (70 and Reported).
Whitfield, Dochery, Cripps, Macrae and Vandermeer to come, so still might get over 2000.

I remember that this was also the knock on Dusty early in his career. Maybe the fitness base still isn’t completely there for Trac even with the shortened quarters.

RE: ..........Petracca drops away drastically as the game goes on. Qtr by qtr..........
Probably because of his known poor endurance. Looks like it hasn't improved?

His kicking was very bad yesterday. Still got the ball but butchered it.
And I’m finding first half scores can be quite misleading. They seem inflated. Not sure if that’s what is actually occurring.

16/1420 Gawn (thank goodness)

What a cluster... 4 players giving me 80 pts: Wingard, Starc, Taylor and Sturt out for a 0.

Not enough trades next week for rookies, Rowell still stuck on the bench as I trade rookies to avoid donuts, no Neale, it goes on

Funny about that ... I had the opposite reaction ??

I agree with you re the first half scoring being skewed, but Petracca really did go missing after half time yesterday so I think the scores are reflective of reality in this case. He want backwards by about 20 points in the final quarter - Thank goodness he took the big mark and goal at the end to seal the win.

Do we have info on how many kms he did per half?

 

[Crabby Skills]

1276 / 13.

Going ok as I've dodged Taylor, Starc, Budarick, but having so many players + little confidence in a last-game captain does not make for a lazy sunday.

 

[Seymour Skinner]

15/1525 (Gawn)

Copped the Starcevich and Taylor s but guessing most people are in the same position.

The few PODs that I do have went well, so hopefully another ranking rise is on the cards.
Greenwood, Fort, Gawn to an extent.

Don't have Simpkin or Ridley, never really planned on bringing them in either but they keep putting up good scores, reckon i've missed the boat and just have to bet against them now.

Whitfield
Dusty
Bont, Macrae, Cripps, Docherty, Williamson.

5 in the last game on a Sunday doesn't fill me with confidence.

1516/16 C (Neale) - way too many low scores for my likening
Have 5 “premos” and 1 rookie to play today, so still a chance for something between 2000 - 2100 I would think (Barring the usual Sunday disasters ?)

A Houston double ton!

 

[Herbie66]

Hey, just seen bennel was scaled down after kicking the goal on the siren. Any reasons.? I’m sure I saw Bennel on 61 after scaling.?

Think I saw a similar post after the game.

I don't really understand the scaling but surely the priority should be to score players on their actual actions during the game (ideally consistently but we all know that won't happen) and then make scaling adjustments.
