I really thought I was going to go close to win the $1000 with:
Macrae 169, Kelly (C) 195x2= 390, Lloyd 157, Sicily 164, Gawn 157, Neale 152, Gaff 130, Whitfield 116 ,
but I had too many low scores and rookies:
Curtis Taylor 37, Doedee 30 and 5 other rookies between 58 and 66 points ,plus Grundy 61.
Still 2339 with Bewely to come.
I looped in Hibbard 84 and put Simpson on the bench so I'm hoping Simpson has a stinker!
I was a similar position (thinking I was a chance of the weekly). Was a whisker away from putting the VC on Macrae and then same with Kelly. In the end stuck with Goldy VC into Grundy C.

Currently on 2239 with Danger and Bewley to play. The right Captain choice would have put me in the mix

Hard to really complain though as I have dodged almost every major injury all year (exception of Howe and Rowell)

The party spolier is Jake Kelly as the 'like for like' Doedee replacement. Interesting watch for this weeks teams though.
For some reason I keep thinking Doedee is tall , Kelly was initial thinking or do they send McAsey back again ? and play Himmelberg , Lynch & Walker forward.

If Crouch is out wonder if Gibbs gets selected.

Yes I think there is potential to that but "the old crows way' isn't entirely dead yet and that leads me to think kelly will come back as the intercepting third tall.

Hartigan did himself no favours as the second tall so it wouldn't surprise if McAsey went back and he went out, or if they save young Jordan Butts a crack at the second tall role

If Gibbs doesn't play now it is hard to see when he will although to be honest I would rather see games given to Poholke so there is opportunity to see if he is part of the future or not, and to get a glimpse of the future with young harry schoenberg .

All week, I have thought my score is terrible and a long way below par. I need 97 out of Danger to get to 2000 tonight. Now that I think about it, if he was to go 130+, my score would probably be right down on the low side of average, rather than completely putrid.
