Three scores over 1500 and one just short. That’s gotta be a record.

Disappointed not to get to 1600, Adams and Howe barely scored a point after half-time.

Such a frustrating year atm. The weeks we’ve played sides clearly better than us, we’ve tended to score ok. The weeks we’ve played sides around our level, we’ve tended to throw in a poor score.

We’d have (narrowly) beaten 11 other teams this weekend, despite Boltons horror show in front of goal and a few other outright junk scores. And all it does is chalk up another loss.

But congrats to @Dunlop . Fully deserved . Clearly a stronger side and had to deal with an early injury to Cerra as well.

Happy to get the win.
That probably makes up for the loss against Saladin earlier this year.
I’ve realistically got two more chances for a win this year against @redbull and @saladin.
Not saying I win those, but I’m a semi decent chance.
By then I shouldn’t have such a high number of players named as an emergency and they instead make it into their team’s 18.

Real glad to see Jack Viney match his career year. Looks like he may push his average up above 100 by season’s end. When I drafted him (a decade ago), I expected Joel Selwood like scoring. Hopefully he has another 3 or 4 years of 100~ scores in him.

Congrats @wimmera1 . Was a close thing but it did not go our way.

I’m gonna have a problem next week. Daicos’ onfield form over the last few weeks has been much better than his season average, so a likely drop in points looms there. A few others similar. And depending on selection, I may have to accept some junk averages from Powell / Kosi / Lever etc. I need Lynch back, 2mp to find some form and Bolton to actually capitalise on his damn chances or I’ll have a really poor week.

We’re not a million miles off Topdons crew for points scored though, so he may be in a similar position.

Not that it matters much to me, but I wish I had put up jack silvagni as FR for the position polls. I think it would be an obvious change but not crucical for me as I have a bit of depth in the ruck.

Coach Review

  • Alber_Goodthur’s 810 is a career low. This is the 2nd time this season he has set a new career low - the previous low (841) occurring in Rd 8 against wezza.
  • The last time there were 4 scores above 1490 was Rd 13, 2019 (wimm 1624; AB 1555; Trotters 1534; Fudge 1531)
  • Trotters best score since the 2019 Qualifying Final

Season Highs: Trotters; Crazy Bomber

Double PB’s !!!

Considering they’re 71/70 , lol , you can argue that it’s terrible drafting or building for the future.
