Not happy missing out on Hamilton. But i needed to grab Campbell as my ruck stocks were down to zero having lost both Pittonet and Xerri this week.

I tried for Hamilton and failed.

I have also been trying for the $10 Hamilton lottery tickets and keep failing that too.

Good on you for being honest :+1:

Just a simple mistake that i doubt anyone will worry about.

Won’t be using the ability this week - too many outs - , but Nic Martin getting “C” eligibility will be handy for shuffling the lineup at some stage.

Took Collins overnight purely as some coverage , won’t score well but neither was tarrant. Also took Vandermeer as we’re short on Forward depth at the moment with Kosi sick and Wright having to move into the Ruck with Lycett a long term injury.

Thank goodness I grabbed Collins! Crozier (who’s illness/injury has played havoc with my backline selection all season) hasn’t made the cut.

I owe you a beer one day

You can get me one at our 10 year league celebration

Rioli subbed out adding to the carnage. Going to be a long long weekend.

All benches updated

A few signs that Rachele might be hitting the wall. But considering we’re fielding him, Martin, NWM and Coleman on managed minutes, plus some stop gap fill-ins with Hopper / Lycett / Kosi / Hall all injured, I’m very pleased to be posting mid 1300’s . First real signs from Nysiah as to what I hope he’ll be in a year or two.

BBFFL#2 Ladder After Round 7
image

I’m stunned to be honest. 1326 is my highest score ever and my team has come on leaps and bounds.

@redbull can I ask how you decide who take the spots from the emergencies. Is it the highest scoring or lowest scoring from the bench?

Also how do you decide who takes the utlilty post?

Emergencies can only replace a player they have the same position allocation, ie a CB emergency can replace any gaps in the midfield or backline while a C emergency can only replace a midfield hole. If your utility doesn’t play than the first named scoring emergency will come into the starting 18.

Too good this week CB, not that it was ever in any doubt before or during the game , that was a stinking score from my mob this week, seven scores 52 or under.

Unfortunately my midfield continues to underperform, was expecting/hoping they’d take the next step but they appear to have stagnated. Hopefully I can get Zak Jones back shortly to add some more scoring power, along with Salem, and I can then start to get some more spuds off the field.

Currently stuck in a bit of no man’s land in 10th on the ladder, 11th in total points but still miles off the sides in the top 8, I’d need to close a gap of 100 points per week to match the 8th highest scoring side. Dangerous spot to be in I think but hopefully I can see some glimmers from recently drafted players like Hollands and Andrew in the back half of the season if they get a run.
