Panic Room | Round Nine
We’re almost there, community. It’s almost time to have Thursday teams back!
LFGGGGGGGGGGGGG
But for now, we gotta panic every day.
Newz you can Uze
Tom Highmore appreciation day is today. The man is back. Thank you Ratts. Thank you.
James Frawley is debuting for the Saints, but who cares, really. Seb Ross also comes in. Nick Coffield, Zak Jones, Darragh Joyce and Mason Wood come out. No changes for Geelong, Sam Simpson comes out with injury, so there’ll be a fresh medical sub. Jordan Clark?
Isaac Heeney will return to the Swans with George Hewett and Nick Blakey. Errol Gulden is injured, while Colin O’Riordan and Callum Sinclair were dropped. Collingwood have brought in rookie basketballer/footballer Tom Wilson in for his debut, alongside the addition of Callum Brown. Nathan Murphy and Jordan Roughead come out due to their concussions.
Jaeger O’Meara returns to Hawthorn’s lineup, while Tim O’Brien is also recalled. Dan Howe has been managed, while Emerson Jeka has been dropped. Trent Dumont and Taylor Garner come in for the huge clash for the Kangaroos, while Will Phillips, Jayden Stephenson and Aidan Bonar come out.
Rory Atkins and Malcolm Rosas will debut for Gold Coast, while Touk Miller is suspended and Nick Holman injured.
Scott Lycett and Dan Houston will miss for Port, with Peter Ladhams and Riley Bonner coming in. Bailey Williams, Cody Weightman and Roarke Smith come into the Bulldogs lineup, with Buku Khamis, Hayden Crozier and Lachie Hunter out.
Dylan Grimes returns for Richmond, who have also debuted Hugo Ralphsmith. These two will replace Shai Bolton and Shane Edwards. Jake Riccard, Jesse Hogan, Matt Buntine and Matt Flynn return for the Giants, while Kieran Briggs debuts. Connor Stone, Jeremy Finlayson, Lachie Keefe, Shane Mumford and Tanner Bruhn miss.

Oh Captain, My Captain
If you need to VC someone in tonight’s game then Jack Steele is a good option, loves to play at Marvel Stadium averaging 120 there this season. Brodie Grundy plays early Saturday and comes up against the Swans, who he averages 159.6 against. Tom Mitchell is up against the Kangaroos, while Jack Ziebell presents as an outside the box option.
You can’t have a captaincy article and not mention Jack Macrae who comes up against Port Adelaide on Saturday night. Zach Merrett and Nat Fyfe face off against each other in the early Sunday game, and Clayton Oliver comes up against Carlton. Max Gawn scored 184 last time he played the Blues, and he won’t be sharing ruck duties with Luke Jackson this week.
EVERYBODY PANIC 🤯
Keen for panic room live on facebook !! keep up the great work fellas
No offence but FK Facebook.
Who to bring in – Jack Steele or Josh Kelly?
Have to go Steele over Kelly, unless cash or byes are an issue
The Cameron factor at play means get Steele
Damian Barrett about to break his latest scoop ” Cripps had both legs amputated after round 2 and has been playing using prosthetic limbs”
That will be followed up with a story about his “Brave Bombers smashing expectations despite having 20 players on their list who aren’t top 10 draft picks”
That clown Barrett will call a spade a pitchfork.
Astronomy News by Damien Barrett
Worldwide scoop!
Craters on the moon are being caused by an uncontrolled cheese fetish of the inhabitant.
This reporter has it on good authority, from a bovine friend who doesn’t want to be named, that the Man in the Moon has been eating large chunks of the lunar surface to satisfy his cheese craving.
Bessy (not her real name) who recently jumped over the spherical cheese product, while the cat was playing a fiddle and the dish was stealing spoons, is adamant that she saw this event event taking place. When this reporter asked God for comment he was rude and dismissive in his denial which was obviously his attempt to cover up the scandal.
More to come on this breaking story during the half time break.
This is becoming a massive story in footy. I saw this on channel 7 website
Disgraced former Collingwood President refused to comment and said “This is the sort of disrespect that we’ve come to expect from space and this time they’re poking the top level. White & Black have always been collingwoods colours and our colours alone, space had previously agreed that with the AFL but lately when I look at space of a night time all that I can see is white and black. This is a real punch in the nose to the AFL.”
Who’s a bigger priority this week. Boak or Ridley? Both similar BE, and I’ll get the other next week.
I think Ridley, he’s a bargain this week, Boak will most likely go up in value but not as significantly as Ridley.
No urgency on either, as both are predicted to drop in price next week. If you want both maybe double downgrade this week with the view to double upgrade next week, or even the week after.
That said I would get Ridley first, he is surely a top 3 defender, whereas Boak is maybe a top 10 Midfielder.
Do I trade Gulden to Byrnes (already have Poulter) or Rowe to Owies/Sproule and upgrade L Young or Cox to Ridley/Bowes or can this wait a week as I only have 19 trades left and have Highmore on the bench in defence and Poulter in the midfield.
Thoughts?
Good luck all for this round.
At least I don’t have to go against you this week. 0-2 in the last 2 weeks
I thought I might’ve beaten the Holt last week, then he beat me by 300 points.
Anyone know what Gulden’s injury is?
I haven’t heard anything yet. I’d hope it’s nothing serious but if you still have him, might be a good excuse to offload him now.
He’s goneburgers.
Gulden has a stress fracture in his foot. Wont be back until after the byes. Time to cull him Russty.
Dangit…it’s one injury after another…thanks guys.
Yep. My bench is decimated. Campbell and Gulden will both be culled this week.
Same mate, I have Poulter on bench this week…and that’s all…lol
Just a bit of the general mate. Mild Corkies to every muscle group.
His body is so covered in bruises that Eddie mistakenly racially vilified him
I heard he was proud of it afterwards too lol
Gee, my decision to bring in Atu has been fantastic. 🤦 Thought he played alright but not a good sign when you can’t get a game with a side who hasn’t won one yet.
Clark in.
On 5 just before half time
53 beautiful points. Woop woop.
Bring in Mitchell, or use the extra cash to get Bont instead?
I really like the Hawks games coming up. Dogs have a few tougher ones. So if you are trying to decide, look at the fixtures
I might be bias, but Hawks are a chance in there next 5 games.
Do I bring Byrnes in now that Gulden is injured or put Poulter on the field instead. Can’t seem to find any other midfield rookies worth bringing in.
Thoughts
Hey Community! Trying to decide on the rolled gold premo, or take value. Can go either:
Really want Lyons for the consistent high scores, but Titch and Kelly are better value and keeping Warner helps for bye coverage.
Team is:
Def: Stewart, Lloyd, Ridley, Short, CJ, Highmore – Sharp, N.Murphy
Mid: Macrae, Walsh, Oliver, Laird, Brayshaw, Powell, Jordon, Scott – Campbell, Brockman, Collier-Dawkins
Ruck: Grundy, Gawn – Flynn
Fwd: Ziebell, Sidebottom, Zorko, Impey, Warner, Bergman – Waterman, F.Macrae
Not the year for splurging, stick to your coupons.
I would take Titch ahead of Lyon anyways
Option A for me with Titch.
What do people think about Sloane as an option. Only $523500, in 3% of teams, lowest score 97, and a ton straight up from an injury. An upgrade from Tex for $100000 and change.
Don’t mind it Mikey…do you already have Titch?
Hey community! I’m getting rid of tex and warner this week and looking at bringing in poulter and one of Mills, Titch, or Lyons this week. Which way should I be leaning?
Mills finishes my back 6, titch offers serious value for money and Lyons is consistent pod
Feel free to suggest anyone else! Cheers
I like Mills. Big ceiling.
I love Mills, but he can still be given a shut down role and go back to defender if there is an injury. He can play anywhere.
I expect to see Mills in your starting lineup next season big D
Was tossing up with one up and one down and get Marshall in while I have the chance (there were no there pressing issues with my team this week for a change) but have decided to do a double downgrade and get some playing rookies and some cash generation happening. Hope I don’t regret it and run out of trades to get enough premos in later in the year but there doesnt seem to be any rookies on the horizon in the next few weeks so grabbing them while I can.
I think you’re right Kat, I was just gonna do the one trade this week, Campbell to Poulter and then I heard about Gulden so I passed on Byrnes and went for RCD, hopefully he doesn’t blow a fuse!
OMG the Saints couldn’t kick a goal to save their bloody lives…so frustrating!
Looks like I’ve gotta head down to St Kilda and give some goal kicking practice,, I just can’t be everywhere at once though
Do it Col…go kick some butts down there.
They already have Roughy and Dixson
Gator’s better but i’m not sure about his gumboots though
and head over to the umps office and show them a saints jumper Gat .I seen 3 frees in the forward line in a minute yep no free to the saints This is crap umpiring at its best . Go saints your half now
Apart from their accuracy playing alright though Russty. Could be worse. On another note great to see Highmore getting a game at last. Holding him for so long may pay off to make us some coin I hope. He was being traded this week to avoid a donut in defence if he didn’t play
It all counts for nought Kat if they can’t score…just need someone to peg a few majors.
It can’t be off topic if I’m panicking, correct?
Does anybody that frequents this site use AutoDesk Cad Cam?
No but I’m impressed you can speak a second language other than English 😉
Doesn’t matter I solved the issue
GO SAINTS!
Gee that Paddy Ryder is a good footballer
I know that I was warned against checking fanfooty SC scores before the game is finished but Byrnes is getting screwed real hard
I was listening to game on radio on way home, all I heard was Byrnes did this Byrnes did that.
Yep I thought he had his own footy for a while. Maybe those numptys at the Bangalore CD coalface didn’t get an updated photo of him and they’re looking for a 2dimensional light gray person
What about Steele?…38 at half time…aaargh
I guess this is why I don’t look at live sc scores anymore as it frustrates me. How is Highmore only on 21 points. 86% de, 4 intercept possessions, no turnovers, 3 tackles. You would at least think he was on his DT score.
The CD scores are very slow tonight. Don’t worry it catches up
Cheers mate. Wish I knew that b4 embarrassing myself. 🙄
Don’t worry about it mate…hopefully Highmore can double the 33.
Ignore that. SC must have stopped updating for a while. I take it back. Sorry CD. 🤦
1/2 time & B Crouch + Highmore totals me 110. not too shabby
Nice Hugh.
FREE WILLI
Poor kid was just taking some herbal medication home to help an uncles glaucoma and the filth pinged him. Now the uncle is in danger of going blind
Wake up Australia its 2021
Such an injustice, last time he tripped over trying to hand over his urine sample and a bird pished into the vial…so unlucky and what a poor victim he was.
Marshall subbed out…ouch that hurts for those who brought him in.
I can’t get any of SHARK MOVES to work this year
You’ll bounce back mate…I’m having a CUNOVA year too!
Looks like I dodged a bullet
Ditto. I had Marshall in all week, but decided last minute I needed to double down.
Steele score can’t be correct… 3 clangers fine but a goal and 6 tackles can be worth only 48!!!!
R Byrnes on 18 with 10 disposals and 3 marks at 90% feel like that’s a little stiff
I can’t take a trick with the rookies that I’ve traded in this season. The only one that’s done any good is L.Young and I traded him out this round, the rest have either been injured or dropped after one game in my team.
His score should be double that.
5-15…that’s why the Saints are a garbage team, it’s been the same problem for the last 14 years..no one in that side can kick straight.
need Lockett back to show them Russty but that’s why they lost King was poor
Or just anyone who can kick mate…you’d think with a game called Football that guys would know how to kick a Football. From now on I no longer believe in my Footy team, just myself and my ability to work on and improve the value of my property.
Saints are garbage, and a waste of time investing anything in them.
I think your Saints looked pretty good Russty, we were lucky to get away with a win.
With Hedski just poor kicking Highmore was good on Cameron and most of the kids showed promise Marshall off didn’t help either
Membrey is usually an outstanding kick at goal, but he had some shockers last night. If King starts kicking straight he’ll kick get himself a dozen sooner or later.
(goals and in a single game, just to be clear)
Serious question.
Do I take Highmore’s 47 or play Crippa onfield?
Ouch, I should be offended being a Carlton supporter but I did trade him out after Rd2. Play Cripps, surely he can’t score worse than 47…….can he?
Ha ha, ok so it was a semi/not at all serious question Holty, I’ll be backing Cripps in to beat 47 (just).
I thought you were joking but with all seriousness, he obviously isn’t 100%. Being a Carlton supporter, I hope they drop him for his well-being. Reports coming out saying he has a fracture in his back I’m sceptical about, perhaps a stress fracture maybe more accurate. Rest him for 8-10 weeks and the bone will heal itself. It’s not like we will be prominent in finals this year.
Cripps will go 120 this week
Cripps going massive this week. He plays his best with a broken back.
I hope so Rover
Hey guys, would you trade Berry or Brockman for RCD?
I’d be ditching brockman only because berry is more likely to get games and his BE is still achievable
Out of L Young and Cox who would you trade out and would you bring in Ridley or Bowes.
Community, who is more likely to play again this year.
Waterman or Atu?
Aquaman
Why has no one mentioned llloyd? He is SC gold and consistent as ever. Is it because Im the only one who didnt start him?
I see Titch is all the rage as he has dropped $100k from his starting value but so has lloyd.
Or do I go Mills who is the same price but has had bigger scores this year and playing mids.
At $560K lloyd is a bargain yeah?
So it is Titch, lloyd, jelly or Mills.
Thanks for the cash Gulden but time for one of the big boys to join the team.
I half thinking about leaving him out. And hope to pick up an extra mid that can go a bit better. I need some pods
Who to VC today?
I am running with Grundy VC. He averages 160 against Sydney.
I have to go with Grundy and only have until the start of the Hawks game to decide if I take his score. Only non players this week are macrae jnr and Brookman.
Even Sweet gets a game
Bell and Magden the medical subs
Fellas I made a slight mistake with my emergencies, captains loophole and such. If I have two midfielders on field who don’t play, but I have two emergencies in the midfield line, both scores will be replaced correct? Not just one of them?
Yep
Watching the Hawks Kangas game. How annoying is Foxtel with the changing banner (every few bloody seconds) in the bottom right hand screen?
RED BANNER – LIVE NOW ON CH 504
BLUE & WHITE – SYD 9 COLL 26
Already got screwed by Heeney once this year. Can’t wait for it to happen again once I bring him in next week
I’m looking forward to being a first time member
I am a Heeney lover. Can’t wait to get him next week
Was it the right week to jump off Powell
He was going alright until this game, so there was no reason to trade him out, next week he will be a good stepping stone to a premium midfielder, just not sure who to at the moment, I thought Titch would be the go, but he’s not doing a lot at the moment, Steele maybe, or I could move Laird to the midfield and get Lloyd in.
Still might go ok…40 with a quarter to go.
He might be hitting the brick wall this round, a 60 would be nice, otherwise it might be time for him to go. He’s been very handy on field up until today.
He was also a good stepping stone last week, now he’s lost a little
As I said, there was no reason to trade him this week, his BE was 56 and he had scored 74, 96, 97, 73 in his last four rounds and had been a safe rookie to have on field.
5k, no big deal.
so glad i took Hickey before Grundy Must be considered for A A with Gawn or has Grundy stitched it up?
Grundy has came from the clouds. Young Poulter might be ok for a few weeks
Hickey has been great this year mate…yeah the live score updates are slow and clunky so far today.
Hickey has been great. Had him in every preseason team until Flynn was named r1
I made the same mistake Derek, I’ll never trust GWS rookies or coaches again. Hickey would’ve been a great leg up on the season if we’d started him.
Will RCD do better than Poulter?…or do you bank the 50 odd, I have 10 minutes to decide.
Not much in it Russty, anything over 55 from a rookie this season is good enough to bank.
I’d go with RCD, if Poulter’s score is under 55.
Great, just great Poulter’s score just went from 49 to 66, bloody CD dragging their asses with the updating. RCD probably scores 25 now lol
Screwed me as well Russty, not happy.
RCD for me Russty If he tidies up his saints like disposal could go high
Yeah may as well take the punt, don’t have much to lose anyhoo lol, be nice if CD could get their shit together a bit quicker, it’s too late now and they still haven’t finished scaling the Pies game
Well Poulter ended up with 66 😬
Poulter up to 66. I would have taken that and put Rowe on the bench if I’d known before the Lions game
They literally had 15 minutes to finish it off and couldn’t manage that…grubs.
Had same problem. Had to decide. Didn’t take Poulter and put Scott
Yeah and Scott is laying a huge egg…hopefully he can get a goal or 2 in the last for us.
Can’t believe I got sucked in and traded in Titch who scores a pathetic 54!. I didn’t see game so was he injured, heavily tagged or just utter rubbish?
Finished on 76. If Titch isn’t injured, I question Clarkson. Titch seemed to be played as a outside mid which is stupidity. Was he taking the Mickey out of Nth thinking it would be a easy game and allowed others the opportunity? I hope not. Titch is one of the best inside mids in the comp and out of his 27 touches, 3 were contested. I maybe reading too much into it but didnt see him in amongst as often as usual.
I stupidly put the C on him thinking a field day in Tas against Norf
Did you see the game mate? I watched parts of it and didn’t see him in and under like he usually is. Plenty of Cab’s in the 2nd half where I didn’t see him.
CB’s*
Bad luck Derek that’ll cost you a few league wins this week, understandable though after he drops a 145 last week, I thought maybe he’d finally got it all together but he seems to be a bit of a yoyo these days.
I was shocked to see that effort from Titch as well. I was going to bring him in as I am desperate for players who play in round 14, but since I still own Tex and him having a rest this week, I decided to put him on the bench hoping he will improve when he returns refreshed. As such, I decided to take Dayne Zorko instead to sure up my forward line. He pumped out 140SC. I got bloody lucky purely because of my forward line issues. This game is brutal. Titch will bounce back Pman. Just like Gawn, who I brought in 2 weeks ago to reward me with a 68 as captain. Cheers. TH
Assuming Waterman isn’t named should I bank Poulters 66 or keep Scott on field? Cheers.
66 is good for a rook mate.
Think 66 is a good score mate.
Last four games from Scott, 61, 66, 63, 85. Going on that not much difference either way.
D.Robertson is making me pay for putting him on the bench without the E on him.
He wont go much over 65 mate no real loss there
Yes he has slowed down now, was on 40 just before half time and thought he might make it to 75-80.
Even though I didn’t want to trade next round, Powell to Zorko might be a good trade.
Definitely mate I was going to get him this week but did a double downgrade instead. Now got 500k to turn Scott, Rowe or Cripps into Zorko and Kozi or Frederick into Mills
Need to do a double upgrade next week, my rookies seem to be hitting the brick wall this round.
The brick wall fell on my rookies this round 23 from Mansell, 9 from Frederick, 41 from fantasia plus a few 50’s from the midpricers.
This year is my worst ever
Hoping to see a lazy ton from Big Briggsy. If he does I’ll go early on him if he’s named next week I need to trade out some of the deadweight rookies down back, Highmore, Frederick, Mansell are a real triple treat sh!t sandwich
Highmore should be alright if he gets a decent crack at it…only played 66% of the game, looks like Flynn’s gonna be the main man if they keep the old Mummy in his tomb.
Yeah Briggs is just ruining his price for next year. I don’t think Highmore will get much of a go unless they play teams with multi big forwards like the cats. Geary will be back next week and Frawley now fit Tommy H may as well hang up his boots for the year.
Enjoyed Ratts having the guts to call the umps crap, 85 tackles and 3 frees for wtf I saw about 15 incorrect disposals after being tackled in the 2nd qrtr.
No doubt in my mind that umps are instructed to be very technical towards some teams and rather blind towards others
If Ratt boy wants to put his money on washed up 34 year olds rather than give the talented young guys a good go…they deserve all the mediocrity that’s coming.
I’m so done with Stkilda…used to be passionate about them but how much punishment can the fans take?
They’re doing better than they did in the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, 00’s
I need to stop taking the C off Bont, just hope Maxy goes big tomorrow.
Yeah mate he’s in some rare form, killing it before half time! Hoping the same for Maxy…he’s due.
I should have learnt from last week.
He’s a beast these days, he was always strong but he was wiry before, now he has the extra muscle he’s almost unstoppable, one of the top players in the comp.
I took the C off max and gave it to Merrett. The sharing with Jacko burned me two weeks in a row and without Petracca Max’s HTA will suffer against Blues.
Forgot that I had the Bont and should have put the V on him instead of Grundy, sort of agree with Niel about Grundys importance for SC this year
I’m banking on Max going big this week, but then again I’m really bad at supercoach
Bergman wtf man?…lol, I have him in my fantasy side and his score is on zero!
On 1 at the moment, having him on field this round will cost me every game. I guess I shouldn’t put it all on him, I could have kept the C on Bont, but boy it sure isn’t helping. Apart from his first game he had been going alright until now.
He somehow made it to 12 mate, hoping for your sake he can at least add 40 or so in the 2nd half.
He nearly added 40 in the second half Russty, so happy with that in the end.
Someone gift Collier Dawkins a goal…he can’t seem to score any points otherwise.
Haha, all of a sudden he’s on 62…what the hell?…lol
I should have gone with the herd and brought in RCD instead of Byrnes.
I only brought him in because Gulden got injured John, otherwise I wouldn’t have traded, I have to stop trading for 6 weeks if I wanna have any left at the end …this season is a complete write off for me.
My plan was to do no trades the next two weeks at least, but I’ll have to do one next week, just to get a rookie off field in my fwd line. The two I traded out this round, L.Young and Gulden needed to be done. The amount of trades left is the killer for me as well Russty, I normally have 6 more left at this stage than I do currently.
Can you ask the same for Scott mate my begging has gone unheard
I’m putting it out there to the Universe and all that kinda crap….Anthony Scott, 2 goals in the last quarter!…do it!
I guess in hindsight, Scott’s 57 isn’t bad and RCD’s 88 is a huge bonus, Bergman at least ended up with 47 for John, Bont should’ve got more too. Happy I got Daniel in last week.
I wasted a trade by following the advice of the flock and getting rid of Daniel. And tonight I was Lucky that I took Mansells score, was trying to loop Highmore and got worried that frederick would get a run and he did. Mansell only got 28 so not a lot better than Fredericks half game 9.
Will Frederick lose cash?
urrghh Mansell only 23 he’ll probably drop cash too
He scored 14 from 40% game time, had 100 % efficiency though, He was predicted to make 22.3 k if he scored 60 so yes I think he will lose some cash, maybe 10 or 15 k this week.
He will be alright Russty, had a BE of 9, so just over it.
I might even look at getting RCD in next week, maybe, I’ll have to have a think about it, he will have gone up 60k but should still have a lot of cash to make, 100k in the next three weeks and good JS.
Can’t remember painting the fence before and the rookie (RCD) beats the premo’s score (Titch)
Ha, you think that’s good?
I went early last week on RCD, this week painted the fence with Poulter (66) and Titch (55)
Titch was scaled up to 76.
Titch could get 145 again, and RCD 45 next week. Hard to judge this year but you gotta try and play the long game.
My main question this week……is Kelly now the real deal……or is he just sucking in a whole lot of potential new owners to the burn them during the byes….
I don’t think I’ll ever pick Josh Kelly, just for the rollercoaster record, and the injuries, and because I’m bad at supercoach.
Almost embarrassed to ask this but should I take Fantasias 41 or roll the dice on rowe
My as well go with Rowe…thought you got rid of Fantasia weeks ago.
I planned to but the injury curse is worse than covid
Last post for awhile as I know I’ve been polluting the airwaves and sorry about that for those who don’t like me….but that Tigers V Giants game was a real ripper and a standout for the season, very enjoyable…and will be a major turning point if the Tigers make finals this year.
P.S, good to see Dusty pull his finger out of his ass 😉
I didn’t see any games tonight but just had a look at the scores. GWS seems like they were a unlucky.
Happy with Daniel, Dusty and RCD’s SC scores. Even Scotts’s 57 was ok seeing I could have taken Poulters 66
Sticking the C on Titch was a very poor idea. I just know Gawn will big tomorrow
2 good games tonight. It was nice just watching good games of footy instead of worrying about my SC scores. I didn’t have much invested in players so didn’t really care. Bullies were good to beat Port in Adelaide.
Dusty was pretty average with some turnovers in the midfield early on hence Hardwick leaving him in the forward line (commentators kept crapping on Tigers needed his big body in the midfield cause GWS were to powerful) where he was the most dangerous man of the ground.
How we all going? I’m 1181/14. 😩
953 with 10 players still to come, should just make it to the 2,000 mark. Don’t expect to win any of my league games.
Hanging in there. Bringing in Zorko this week will save my bacon. 1306 with 7 to come and Gawn C. He better repay the faith after his 68SC as C two weeks ago. Hoping to squeeze out 2150 after some serious rookie turds this week. Cheers Holt. TH
1247 / 14 .. should crack 2100 if Capt Gawn extracts the digit this week.
Similar to TH. 1536 with 5 to come including capt max. Got my fingers crossed for around 2150 if things work out.
Not great but not terrible for me this week. Looking at around 2160 with 7 still to play, including Gawn (C), so anything could happen in my H2H matches. Bont, Zorko and Daniel & Martin coming good have been my highlights but lots of 40-60 rookie scores affecting my score. Had RCD on the bench sadly
1044/13 Merrett C
I still have 10 to play. Havnt even looked at my score yet. Won’t be good because I put the C on Titch
Anyone know what happened to Bowes? All it says is he was subbed off because of injury.
Hamstring
Hi Sinny. Bowes has a low strain hamstring injury. Will miss 1-2 weeks.
Just another injury to add to the list 🙁
Should I take 138 from Lyons VC or back in Gawn? Just chasing league wins and my opponent has Gawn C, but feeling like I could get a leg up in rankings too by going Lyons.
Gawn has passed that score only 3 times this season .. odds in your favour with Lyons..🤷🏼♂️
Take Lyons Joe. It’s a great score for the vc.
Take it
Any score over 130 you bank.
Cheers guys, common sense prevailed and I went with Lyons. Think a lot of teams are gonna have to start looking outside Grawndy now.
Gold Coast Suns?
Whoever decided to delist (not even trade) lyons needs to be sacked immediately.
Not only did he run riot against the suns (as he does every week) but was voted BOG last night. Mcbags a bit stiff .
Lions must be enjoying that birthday cake as they have all come at once.
So, the temptation in Jelly is real. Under priced, great bye and is in some great form. This week will ultimately be the last time to pick him up for value. To those who do (including myself), be prepared for him to miss games. There are a few players in this game where it’s buyer beware and Jelly is one of them so if he does go down injured, I certainly won’t be complaining if he comes into my team.
I agree Holty. I am targeting Josh Kelly too this week. Need players who play round 14. Zorko this week who is my MID FWD premo floater to cover my barren benches and now to target a value premo midfielder.
What about Tim Kelly? He’s going ok
That’s a no from me mate. He has had a great 3 weeks but what happened in the first 6 weeks? He hasn’t had a role change unlike Jelly. I find Kelly is very inconsistent. What do you think he will average from now to end of season remembering Hurn, Shuey and possibly Yeo coming back to take plenty of points away?
I’m panicking that this might be my last week in the JR Survivor Div 5 group. Been going really well in it, haven’t even come close to going out, but I feel I’m in for one of my worst scores this round, not looking good.
div 5 has the most teams, but also has 6 each week that get eliminated. You just need 6 other coaches having a rough week as well.
I can only hope Derek, having a look at the 20 left, only 5 had a better score than me last round, but that was one of my better scores for the season.
My worst fears were realized, in the bottom 6 for the first time, I think it’s about the longest that I’ve lasted, so there’s that.
Darcy Parish one of the few shining lights in my SC team since coming in. Put the C on Merrett, that hurt!
Did I see it correct that Merret was 56 at half time?
Yep because I took the C off spudly Gawn to give it to Zack Merrett decided to leave his heart at home and didn’t earn a single staged free, he’s usually good for at least 4 or 5
Dont worry Nicky. I put the C on Gawn. 38 SC at 1/2 time. What an absolute prat. Unless I see a big second half, it will ruin my score twice in the last 3 weeks because of this muppet.
Now that Gawn’s form has dropped theres no captain option i can trust
Oliver is a good option, only one score under 114 for the season.
Ouch,unlucky with Merrett getting the tag. Good pick up with Parish however.
What’s wrong with Gawn this week?…not watching the game but Jackson’s not there and he’s 38 at half time…sheesh!
Pittonet giving him a lesson and CD have gone off him and no longer giving him the 20 point bonus to start each qrtr
I think somebody is impersonating you mate, I saw this posted under your name earlier today “Last post for awhile as I know I’ve been polluting the airwaves”
I’ll be happy with a 100 from here. Not my week, took the C off Bont on to Maxy as you know, then thought about Clarry as a C POD today, but saw most teams had the C on Max, so left it on Max.
Making a comeback in the 3rd quarter. Should at least get to 100pts now, so not all is lost.
Not a great week for most in SC. I have 1948 with Laird to play. Hopefully get to 2050 but assume I’ll drop in the ranks.🤦I think those who still have Jordon and bought in RCD and had him onfield will have scored alright. Hopefully someone on the jock site has smashed it this weekend.
Sorry, 2004 I’m on. A lot of points were needed to be dished out still in the Melb vs Blues game
Think I might start looking at Oliver and Bont as VC/C options for a while, instead of the Gawn/Grundy combo.
Not a bad call John. The guarantee C score with the rucks don’t seem to be as certain as of a month ago
I remember a few years back before Maxy and Grundy were a thing, that all we had to do was pick between Titch, Fyfe and Danger for the VC/C, so it’s worth a try.
remember when gary was in his prime and the captaincy choice wasnt even an issue
One of those ‘almost’ weeks.
lost 5 leagues by less than 23pts after putting C on Titch
2157 only 2 wins
2,099 for Black Flag, so not my worst score for the season, lost all 10 games as I predicted last night, lost a close one by nine points.
I might have some bad news for you John regarding the Survivor Groups.
as for Holty, he was lucky he had the immunity this week for sure
