12/1297 Butters
Flanders 128 :D
Bont 122 :)
Green VC 117 :cry:☯️
Rozee 113 :)
Daicos E 106 :rolleyes:
Dale 99 :confused:
Houston 96 :confused:☯️
Butters C 89x2 :sick:
Holmes 71 :poop::unsure:
Nank 58 :poop::unsure:

Flanders great as usual. Bont good. Green was outstanding for the first 2 and a half quarters. Scored about 20 in the last 1 and a half quarters. He scores 125 and I’m 44 points better off. Rozee had a great start then copped a knock, still good overall. Hopefully the injury isn’t too serious. Daicos solid. Once again looping the wrong defender. A chance I take McKercher over him but probably not. Fisher sub/not sub may affect it. Dale solid too. Tough conditions. Houston is another one who started hot then faded dramatically.

Butters terrible efficiency early before clicking way too late. Thought he was a certainty to go 110+ today. Holmes had 23 at 30% DE and 7 clangers. Could’ve made a late charge but when half of your team is 30+, why not bench the young guy for 17 minutes straight? Strange. Nank somehow even worse and then either got injured or confirmed the Tigers are tanking. You don’t “tactically” sub out your rebuilding team’s captain when a game is on the line. Nank over Xerri as Gawn replacement will prove very, very costly. At least I didn’t captain him as I definitely considered it. Projected dropped 217 points after tonight’s games.

Serong 140 :cool:
Sheezel 138 :cool:
Zorko 129 :D
Curnow 106 :)
Ryan 99 :(
LDU 97 :(
Jackson E 96 :)
McKercher 94 :confused:
Heeney 72 :poop:
Grundy 72 :poop::poop:
Dunkley 69 :poop::poop::poop:

Probably the most unlucky round I’ve had since I took SC seriously. 10 tons, the only ones who would have some kind of relevance in the overall standings were Rozee (113) and Curnow (106). Dale 99, LDU 97, Houston 96, McKercher 94, Butters C 89, Grundy 72, Holmes 71, Dunkley 69, Nank 58.

My ruck combo of Grundy and Nank combined scored 130. English outscored that by himself. Marshall scored 123, Xerri scored 109.

Captaincy and loop wise I didn’t do terribly. Butters was horrible but not many captain options did a whole lot better. Obviously if Green scored a few more I would’ve taken but I’ll always gamble a 117. Went McKercher over Daicos’ 106. Just wanted to try something because everything that seemed rational wasn’t working. Probably would’ve beaten 106 if he didn’t get the Cincotta tag for half the game. Took Jackson with 53 + a half to go (96 in the end) over Fisher which was a huge success. Would’ve scored 2244 if I went Fisher.

Hoping I can stay within the top 150. One of those weeks. Move on and hope for a better result in the next 5 rounds.

Friday: Caldwell (vc) ✅, Dowling 🆗
Saturday: Sinclair ❇️. Green, Moore, Flanders, Bont, ✅✅✅✅. Humphries 🆗. Houston, Butters, NWM ❎❎❎. Evans 110 stuck on the bench.
Sunday to play: Neale (c), Zorko, Grundy, Warner, Heaney, Ryan, Oliver, Jackson, Serong, Sheezel, Walsh. Not sold on Neale as captain because of Jordon and still considering Grundy?
I had traded Green to Dunkley but reversed the trade after the Caldwell incident as I was down to 3 trades, still not 100% sure he will play next week, and though Green’s scoring is haphazard he was playing GCS at home; Green came through with the goods, now it will be interesting see what Dunkley will do.
2287, Neale.. the bile is rising again as I type this 🤢. Cost me 3 league wins. But so many premos underperforming or held today.
Serong, Sheezel ❇️❇️. Zorko, Ryan, ✅. Jackson, Heeney, Warner, Grundy, Walsh, Oliver ❎❎❎❎❎❎ Neale 🤕.
In hindsight Serong against a weakened Melbourne midfield was such an obvious Captaincy choice but every time I’ve captained him before I’ve been burnt!
On a positive note my reversal of the Green > Dunkley trade was sweetened by Dunkley’s score today.
Only 2/7 league wins.

have 207k in the back 3 trades left

thinking of trading shoenmaker and tholstrup for loch rawlinson and a 580k or less midfielder, any ideas?

would leave me with dowling looping with rawlinson f/m and mckercher looping with saad el hawli d/m

is jackson an injury worry?

Was going great leading into Sunday's games - looking to rage trade Z Fisher tonight (and go down to 0 trades). Sinclair and English huge.

Lost main league by 4 points so Fisher being subbed is going to define my Monday - Wednesday.

Frustrating for you, he comes back in, then gets subbed early, happy I traded him out a few weeks ago now, in hindsight.
