Scores 1791 & 2076
Overall rank - 71219
SCSPL - ranked last on points
SCS Backburners - ranked last on points
SCS Roo Boys - ranked last on points
SCS Group - ranked 3rd last
SCS Draft League - 0-2 bottom of ladder

Just once I would like to select a group of starting keepers that doesn’t ruin my chances of a decent overall result in the first week or two.

The latest list of culprits
  • Neale 77 & 75
  • Jelly 98 & 90
  • Danger 92 & DNP
  • Gaff 57 & 69
  • Heppell 89 & DNP
  • Duggan 62 & 65
  • Phillips 90 & 56
This ignores those with just one crappy score; Gawn with (c), Grundy, Stewart.

Only 3 keepers with reasonably starts; Lloyd, Laird & Oliver.

Only positive is I am yet to lose a league matchup and only one way to go from here I suppose.

I've dodged a lot of the other bullets so far so it's disappointing to have a self inflicted one. It's not that I thought he had become a bad player. It was just hard to see a lucrative role for him and I felt I had to make a decision before his price dropped. No different to a player changing positions on the ground.
Oh well. I've still got another 28 opportunities to stuff it up. 😀

I still think it was the right call based on the information available ... it just doesn’t look like it now that we have the benefit of hindsight. Pure luck on my part.

Leon Cameron... who plays their most damaging mid as a forward for most of the game after quarter time when he had started the game well? Even when Coniglio & De Boer are out of the game injured, he plays the kids in the middle instead whilst Kelly is left to rot up fwd with the game slipping away.
Clueless clown that deserves to get fired :mad:

Very frustrating as a Jelly owner in both SC and RDT.

If Clueless Cameron thinks Taranto & Hopper should be his main 2 mids in the engine room this season, he is going to be in a world of pain.
Both are butchers of the ball, make poor decisions when they do have it - they can certainly win it in the contest but outside of the clearance they turn it over far too much. You can’t expect to consistently win games with the way modern footy is played these days if your main mids don’t have hurt factor with their possessions.

I'm ranting about tog, seriously who decides this!! Walsh 82% tog, what are they thinking, he's an endurance beast, doesn't need a rest, ok maybe a little, I'm expecting 90-92% tog. He always seems to get stuck on the bench, he could be scoring consistent 140's.

Jordon too, *** is Goody thinking, give the kid a go.

Bit harsh on Taranto, I thought he was supreme last night. Not his fault he has no mates to help him out.
Each time Taranto touched it something happened for GWS.

He kicked two first half goals, he must be good as a forward! Genius coaching by this fraud.

Angry at myself. I was too focused on getting out sore playing midfielders to see how quickly bench rookies were turning to ****.
I NEED THAT WALKER AND IMPEY MONEY. :oops:
