16/1848, managed to have Cincotta, Ashcroft and Chandler onfield and kept Ginbey and Greene off, might be in for a decent total this week, am a bit dirty on Pickett this week after I traded him out but it's probably the right call in the long run.
Setterfield, N.Daicos, Mitchell, C.Jones, Taranto and Laird to come.

Given every single one of my playing rookies was today that's still a really good result. Had to use Johnson as Laird insurance and lost 20-odd benching Hollands but couldn't have done much better with the cards I've been dealt.

The whole issue with my McKenna trade might actually be okay - big cash gen coming up for Callaghan, Ashcroft and Chandler which might yet let me get to the big guns. If Laird plays this was probably the right call.

To come: Stewart, Taranto, Hopper, Daicos, Dawson and Laird (Johnson)

Combined team needs a 173 from Daicos to snatch the PL win. Not ruling it out.

17/1984 (Marshall) with Daicos, Dawson, Taranto, Baker, Hopper to come.

On track for my best score for the year by a long way. Only blemishes were Mitchell and JVR who were pretty popular anyway.

Gotta enjoy it while it lasts. Burnt through a ton of trades to get here and just used my last boost :whistle:

Huge day today for me, had 15 players in it.

Only real let downs were JVR and Ginbey. Jelly struggled for 3 quarters then pulled a rabbit out of the bat to get 88, so can’t complain there.

Setterfield, Ridley, Taranto, Hopper, Naicos and Laird (I hope) all left to go. If Laird doesn’t play, I get Johnson’s 53. Would expect 2300+ at least from here, but it’s never a certainty in this game!
I didn't see the game cause I was on the road all day, how did Jelly struggle, was he being tagged?

Finally looking like losing a rookie roulette this season. Fielded Fergus (28) over Samson. Really felt Samson would score higher but went with the safer, more sensible option.

English VC failed for the first time this year. Concerned for Daicos getting the Keays tag, so I'm going to back Taranto in good form without Prestia and against a depleted suns midfield.

Fingers crossed Laird plays. Wilmot (63) for cover if needed.

Can’t complain about 11/15 tonnes. I’ll cop a donut if Laird doesn’t get up, but given Ginbey would have been my E if I set my team up properly, it will only be 39 points lost. It seems insignificant given the amount of points I’ve fallen behind this year!

A few volatile scoring players to come tomorrow, so anything is possible from my typical poor season performance this year to something out of the box.
