2534 with Oliver captain…

pretty happy overall with Trac (189), Oliver (176x2), Touk (153), Sinclair (150), Sicily (139), Neale (135), Brayshaw (134) and Darcy (124) going large…

compounded by wearing on field Rioli (29), Mcomb (40) and Goldy (55)…

decided to keep Stewart rather than trade to Hall and glad I did as I took debutant Massimo’s 83…

hopefully English and Butters are both back next week rather than gathering dust on my bench…

Been impressed by Noah Anderson the last 3 weeks being able to watch him on FTA , does he have the game to become a 110+ SC player ?

Definitely starting Rankine next year.
Anderson is going to have to overcome his awful disposal. He might be capable on pure quantity or possibly he's one of those butchers who turns it around a bit but it's definitely going to be the huge hurdle for him. Especially given Touk and Rowell are going to eat the lion's share of the contested pill so he's left as the more outside guy. I wouldn't say it's impossible but I think it's unlikely he goes much over 110 unless he can address that. Reminds me a bit of a Hanners type where going beyond a 1:1 ratio was really hard and sustaining 110+ DT averages is also very hard.


Whole team will never all perform or overperform all at once in any fantasy competition no matter who is in your team, so no point dreaming of that ideal.
There was round 23 2019 where there were definitely some pretty damn perfect scores around.

I had a 2,762 that week to rank 10,812th for the round. I messed up my captain with a Grundy 157 (Gawn 212, Neale 190 & Whitfield 159 that are in my side). I had Merrett (78), Brodie Smith (89), Heeney (54), Boak (74), Billings (44) and Mundy (70) that messed me up, admittedly some pretty common names in that group but given my rank, obviously most missed at least some of them.

The other 7 times I can see a 2,650+ score since 2014 I was inside the top 1,500 for the week, so much closer to being "perfect" than that round.

2130.

Rucks Preuss DNP, Jackson DNP, Teakle DNP and English DNP

And I did three trades!

So over this season, will keep trying but there seems little point.

Rucks have scored a total of 122 for the last two weeks.

Can't even look for redemption next year as if all goes to plan will be almost totally off the grid for two to three weeks about this stage of the season.

Although with my management this year that might be a good thing!!

Moved up to a season high rank of 1576 - very pleased!

However, trading in Goldstein has now allowed me to lock in a loss from not taking him earlier in the year - including one round where I covered Jackson with Hayes, it's 291 points lost. Had I made that trade, my rank would be 517 :oops:

Rank 4.5k at with 2815. Approximately 100 points less than this week where I ranked 400odd. A seriously outrageous 'perfect' round.
