Likewise.

It’s completely crapped out. Disappointing. Pretty sure I was on 367 from two players…

Same

I can get in. But everyone is on 0.

Cactus for me as well

Working for me

Looks like a big win for the Tigers against traditional rivals, the orange peels. :slight_smile:

Holy ■■■■.
How the fark did I win this week?
I was way behind yesterday.

Far too good for me this week, @Dunlop.

My midfield needs some work, and hoping Nankervis back before finals.

Good to see Hawkins back in form at least, whilst Waterman and Scholl have continued some good form this year. O’Meara and Adams have been disappointing in the midfield for me thus far whilst Guthrie feels like he’s still half drunk.

You were pretty unlucky with who your opponent was this week. You would have beaten just about everyone else.

The Tigers were too good, Congrats on the win.

Thought i was headed for a 1500 this week after a good start. Gresham and McStay combining for 26 put that to rest

Glad to stumble over the line against Sal, the Wingard injury made it tighter than I thought it was going to be heading into Sunday and it probably got a bit too close for comfort in the end.

Like AB I thought I was on track for 1500 but Duncan was well below expectations and the Wingard injury scuppered any chance from that point.

Team is just going at the moment, can’t afford to be posting too many sub 1400 scores but glad to chalk up an ugly win.

That’s messed up, thought I moved Finn into wing but it was Mead. Ah this system is crazy.

Would lost anyway, but congratulations on the win @Blummers32!

The Good…

  • Only four players on my list don’t make team sheet Thursday. It’s refreshing to see. Eagerly awaiting for Brayden Cook, Paddy Dow, Dev Robertson and Jeremy Sharp to get a good run of games this season.
  • Three tonnes this week. Two of them are averaging that this year. Again… Refreshing…
  • So glad for Roberts, Matthew Johnson and Oscar Allen to score well. I cannot wait to see what these guys can do when they get closer to 100 career games.

The Average…

  • Emergencies and subs. I had 3 emergencies this week and 3 subs (Hind, Mackenzie and Bytel). It’s good that they are on the fringes, but I’m hoping they punch through into the 22 more often. Would love to see Sheldrick and Foley get some games soon.
  • Dependable scoring. They aren’t smashing it, but Farrell, Jack Buckley, McKenna and Bailey Scott are making it easy to keep them in the 18 for now.
  • Whilst I am 3-2 and could have been 4-1, I am suspect that my team is scoring rather mediocrely. I’ve only scored above 1300 once and the rest of the scores range between 1210 and 1270. It’s far better than last year, but it’s still a long way off the pace.

The Ugly…

  • Team selection almost cost me this week. I should have realised Reeves was going to score more than his mid 40s given GWS barely have a ruck going around. That was my bad.
  • Kane Turner and Cunningham are stinking up. Turner will be sent to the F/A pool. Cunningham needs to go to the bench. That Oleg Markov dropping after round 1 is going to come back to bite me.
  • The rollercoaster ride of form. JUH is still developing but his best so far this season isn’t quite cutting it. Luke Ryan has continued on his Jekyll & Hyde routine since being drafted.

Congrats mate. Definitely deserved the win.

We’re kinda spluttering and misfiring a bit for various reasons, but not long ago this squad was scoring 1200 on a good week, now it’s 1250-1300 on troublesome weeks so we have to accept that.

The Newcombe score was galling, he gets anywhere near that last week and we win.

I think this side has a 1400 in it at full strength, but I’m not sure we’ll see it this year. I think we’ll bounce around that 1300-1350 ceiling and maybe give others a headache or two. But there’s a bit of potential improvement with Kennedy having a poor outing , Kosi below par and Lyons maybe close to getting a start. Also, Ned Long went ok in his second AFL game.

The ruck situation is probably unsolvable until / If 2mp returns.

The good

  • 1479 round score. Could/should have been 1500+ with better team selection and/or a couple of players performing well under par

  • closing in on a regular 80 avg each week

  • another win. Would have beaten 16 teams

  • investment in youth looks to be paying off

The average/bad

  • Ken Hinckley. Killing me with how he deploys Durham

  • reliance on a handful of players to score big to carry the team at 80 ppg

@Dunlop
What’s the lockout for this round?
Sunday when the teams for the final game is finalised?
