5/725 Darcy

If you said I’d be less than 20 points off Dawson vc’ers with a Darcy vc, I would’ve laughed at you.

Content with tonight’s efforts. Plenty of rookies to come, but I get to loop in both mid and forward lines after having had a look at Cowan earlier in the round (not taking). Will make a decision on Rowston > JVR after I see Phillips E play tomorrow.

Edited for scaling points.

Dawson,Laird, Hopper and Taranto…
VC Oliver tomorrow with his Adelaide oval record hopefully matches Dawson…
only major trade focus now is to consider what to do with McKenzie being named sub….

7/1,027 Darcy

This is a stupid game. Last week I had one of my worst SC performances, with just 5 of my players hitting triple figures. This week, all 7 who have played so far have crossed 100. Pity that I have so many rookies left to play, otherwise my expectations this round would now be huge!

Very happy with my new pet seagul!

EDIT: Scaling brought me back to 1,017

I think just needs to be accepted, that Gulden is a 95-99 type player, and you just hold him as one of your last upgrades.
88 from a 95-99 players is well within the realms of "normal".
Yep, I guess you always want more.
I'm hoping for a 100-105 avg which would make him a FWD keeper, but if it doesn't work out, he could be on the trade table around the byes.

2/287
Played: J Dawson and R Laird

Yet to play:
Friday: A Brayshaw and J Hopper
Saturday: W Ashcroft, J Dunkley, C McKenna, D Wilmot, H Sheezel, J Ziebell. K Chandler, C Oliver (VC), M Bontempelli, T English (C) and J Horne-Francis
Sunday: T Stewart (new recruit), R Gibney, J Kelly, C Mackenzie, N Daicos, R Marshall and M Phillipou

J Dawson once again with a great score reducing the pressure on the rookies to score well and to compensate for any subpar games from rookies or premiums alike. No VC on Laird for another of his 130+ to add to my collection but hopefully the duo of Oliver and English can match it.
4/479
Played: J Dawson, R Laird, A Brayshaw and J Hopper

Yet to play:
Saturday: W Ashcroft, J Dunkley, C McKenna, D Wilmot, H Sheezel, J Ziebell, W Phillips, K Chandler, C Oliver (VC), M Bontempelli, T English (C) and J Horne-Francis
Sunday: T Stewart (new recruit), R Ginbey, J Kelly, N Daicos, R Marshall and M Phillipou

Disappointing last quarter by Brayshaw and as a starting selection given he was a late in and was under heavy consideration with Macrae and Neale but thankfully neither has gone massive (yet) and so far the other players are compensating for his subpar performance. Captain in play tomorrow and some rookies, so hopefully this is a solid foundation that can be built on for another rankings climb.
