No Dawson/Gulden finally doesn't hurt me for once. Could have been a slightly better score had Phillips not been subbed early 3rd quarter. Hollands had a great last quarter but unfortunately 3 clangers prevented him from scoring an 80-90 which would have been nice. Only the one trade made, Cowan to Roberts. Debated going Green to Touk/Neale/Dawson, but couldn't justify the trade. Oliver, Taranto, Daicos to come. 2200 would be nice from here.

I am so glad I was 1.1k short of bringing in Miller this week.

Edit: Had Miller in my team, but then Williams was dropped, so went to the more expensive Johnson, leaving me short. It would also have involved trading out Ashcroft :ROFLMAO:

Reckon there'd be a few sweating on whether Davey is playing tomorrow.
Cuts both ways, those that want him on field, and those that want his donut for a bench score.
Of course, this means we will get the worst result for both parties, and he'll be named as an emergency.
Hopefully both Coll and Ess name their subs today!!!

Yep for me its Fergus Green's 77 on the bench, I have zero confidence Chandler can surpass it and Davey the only possible loop.

Yep. All I can tell you is that a regular training watcher heard it announced at training that Hobbs will be an in, (for Merrett).

FWIW I think Davey will play - probably in for Menzie. Don’t see the point of not playing him in the VFL after a week off if he isn’t in the team tomorrow - unless he’s injured.

On the matter of Chandler, I reckon he might have a spike in him (X 2 90s at the MCG in wins) But you’d take Greene’s 77 if possible - I’m in the same position.


(Sorry, if that doesn’t fit the official reporting protocol, source-wise re. Hobbs. Can delete if necessary.)

Traded in Miller, Roberts, Johnson. Put the C on Touk. Total 134 points and 2 injuries.

By far the worst trade and Captain decision/output in several years of playing SC.

Where is the Gin bottle..
Did a little better, but still got 2 injuries.

Touk (C), Roberts, and Cogs. I went Cogs, then Roberts, then just scraped over the line for Touk, and for some reason thought he'd be a good captain option against North, considering he had a massive score against them last time!!

Fanfooty notes saying he went forward sometime in Q4. The bloke has said he wants to play forward the new coach has run him as a forward. I think this is a trap regardless of who they bring in this week because Phil Davis, groin will be back in one to two weeks.
Will Phil Davis be back too - or just his groin?

Seamus Mitchell for me but same concept. Be nice to get some reward for going early before everyone jumps on him next week!
