The Segull joining Kelly, Macrae and Sicily in the 150 club this week at Blaze of Glory ? View attachment 19132

Great mate, really delighted for you...

 

[The Myth]

Paying up for Lloyd last week pays off.

14/1313. Williamson on field the big disappointment but feel I’ve somewhat recovered.

Georgiadas, laird, DSmith, Ridley, Grundy (VC), Oliver, Gawn (C), Danger left.

1127/12.

Some Roo spud 30s in there, thankful for Macrae, Sic and Seagull though.

Didn't help

I googled Players nicknames for 'seagull' and found:

Jarrad McVeigh - Seagull

I foresee some massive scores this week.

I reckon teams with Macrae, Jelly, Sir Jake and Sicily will not be uncommon and possibly even Daniel, Greene and Haynes.

Avoiding the onfield rookie 30s might be the trick.

 

[Kidult]

Decent chance I sell Sic for Tom Stewart pre round 10, fixes my bye problem and gives a fairly handy cash injection.

Yeh big chance its 200k free to go up to Lloyd at round 12(BYE Rd 11) for me.

 

[Drew]

11/1131 with Maximus Gawn still to go as captain. Never usually this good at this point in the round. Waiting for the carnage ?

 

[Zimmer]

9/886 (V/Capt Lloyd)

Lloyd scored 157 and I will make him Captain, but I feel that it won't be a good Capt score against Gawn's Capt score, hmmm.
Bird in the hand........

Can't pass up a VC score like that.

 

[Bontempele]

So did any of Bell , Brooksby or Ling pass the eye test ?

Bell looked decent, Ling had a quiet game but a good last quarter. Brooksby will presumably be dropped for Ceglar. The man I really liked the look of was ELIJAH though - he should still be ~135k and was all class.

 

[Enderling]

10/1292 Macrae VC
Still looking good despite Simpkin and Docherty today. Loving Sicily at the moment.

 

[Seymour Skinner]

11/1070.

I only just noticed that Darcy Fort is out lol, luckily it's the week Georgiades returns from the wilderness so I don't have to cop Taylor's 37 after copping Williamson's 28.

9 playing tomorrow, 1 Monday.

Just waiting for lockout to end so I can spent my 500k and fix my bombsite of a backline.

 

[Diabolical]

11/1054 and I’m done for the night with the Gawndy VC/C loop to come tomorrow.

I wish I had taken myself more seriously in the trade thread ...

Is this the time to do something different and move on Patrick Cripps?

5th highest owned midfielder - 53.3% of teams.
Ranked 37th midfielder on averages - 98.6
Breakeven - 168

I was planning to upgrade two rookies to Smith & Trac. However, I could create a POD by moving out Cripps instead of a rookie. It means an extra rookie on field now but he has a bye in two weeks. It would also mean with my bank that I could bring in 4 premiums over the next two weeks - Probably targeting Oliver & Merrett/Shiel who won’t have byes after Trac & Smith but if I kept Cripps I would most likely only get 3.

So the way I see it, it could be a break even over the next few weeks. However, if he doesn’t find form I have created a positive POD by not having him.

Is this a risk work taking to try and climb a few spots from my 11k ranking?

The love for chips gets passed down through the backline of the Swans

High scoring games this round so far - top out at 64 points for the Blues!

A cryptic clue, hmmm
I'm guessing seagull is Lloyd?

I wish I had taken you more seriously too!

Got to laugh ... SC had this game listed as being played at the SCG .... looked at the weather forecast and thought no way I could consider some players ...
