Definitely know your pain! I had Harmes on and Walker on bench… yuck
My pick 172 in Lachie Scholl scoring 110 was a nice surprise!

I’m a decent chance of hitting 1200.
Yay, I guess.
Most of my guys are definitely working their way into the season.
Would love Taylor to be a late out for GWS today so that I get Corr’s 101! Don’t think it will make any difference though.
Premiership hangover. I know how that Cats feel.

Teams are now finalised. Given the late game this week, final results may not be up until tomorrow on Bench.
Going to be a long year at the Seagulls, happy with my late Hawthorn VFL punts, but so many of my players that I was expecting to go to a next level have either regressed, unexpectedly dropped down the pecking order for mid time or aren’t best 22. When you have IC, Ash, Duggan, Flynn, Greene and Ward playing vs. Jamaine Jones and Jones is easily outscoring all bar Flynn you’ve got big issues.

Think I’ll hit 1400 this week which is the baseline of where you want to be. Josh Kelly back in next week. Signs of life
Congratulations, JBaller.
1230 odd for me this week. Not terrible. A long way to go.
Waiting on a few players to bring some selection pressure and increase that total a little.

Nope I was wrong, final scores already up.
Commiserations to @redbull - its the inverse of last week, when Owens single-handedly won the game for wez in the final 3 mins - you were still 40 ahead with 4 mins to play, but Greene went nuts (29pts) and stole the game from you.

I was not expecting to get the W with Gawn and Harmes falling down do badly.
Mason Wood has been my big surprise, he was getting some form together last year, but he has come of age!

The Good…
- The tonnes are a flowing, Delilah, Delilah. Setterfield, Crozier, Marshall, Ryan and Moore all lead the way.
- Paddy Dow is smashing VFL. Sheldrick and Hind as well. Hopefully they get a shot soon.
The Bad…
- I actually scored less this round with 18, than last week with 16…
- Selection issues. Reeves doesn’t deserve a game, but I had no choice. Matthew Johnson, Sheldrick and Bonner still being named emergencies.
The Ugly…
- Too many sub 50 scores. JUH, Byrnes, JHF, Reeves, Mackenzie & Cunningham all went missing.
- Disappearing act. If anyone has seen Oleg Markov, please tell him to get to training this week. He was an emergency last week, he’s gone missing this week.

Pretty surprised to top the scoring this week with three players scoring 40s, a subbed 59 from Stanley and an ordinary Macrae performance.
Discipline a worry, first McAdam, now Broad referred directly to the tribunal, unsociable footy…
Pretty crazy our end over here.
We’ve only barely managed to scrape past 1100.
Glad we got Weller back. Hoping those pushing in the VFL comes through and then the injures are fast tracked.
Gonna be a difficult week ahead. Burton suspended, Dusty with an injury cloud on 6 day break, Kosi still suspended. Hopefully Coleman comes back from concussion.
Bench unexpectedly seems to sort players by points scored for the season, rather than either highest round score or highest average. So definitely use Blitz when searching for players. I doubt it makes a difference this week, but Lachie O’Brien is available as a waiver, he’s just not displayed on the Bench waivers list despite being delisted with the rest of the players.
The available players thread has been updated - it clearly marks those on waivers - those who have played this season are sorted by 23 average, the remainder are sorted alphabetically and all three categories are separated so it shouldn’t be confusing. I’ve left overall average in for transparency if people want it removed let me know.
Why are some players listed as scoring 0 without having played? Just a spreadsheet thing, everybody already in my system - those who played AFL last season - require the 0 for proper sorting.
If anybody wants their team updated in the squad thread in the old color format, rather than using Bench to see their squad let me know.
Lockout for the Week: Traditional Friday 7:50pm AEDT/9:50am UK/3:50am US CT

@Dunlop Can I please LTI Wehr?
GREATER Western Sydney youngster Jacob Wehr bounced back from the huge bump he copped from Shane McAdam in round one to suit up in round two, but the wingman is set to miss the next couple of months after breaking his scapula on Sunday.
@wezza - Approved
@JBaller92 - Approved
Both players are eligible to be elevated anytime after Rd 8
