Final Thoughts
Top Vice Captain pick for the round: Marcus Bontempelli.
Smoky Vice Captain pick for the round: Cam Guthrie.
Top Captain pick for the Round: Brodie Grundy.
Smoky Captain pick for the round: Dustin Martin.
Thinking along the same lines, Bont into Grundy for me.
Thanks Azza, noice job mate…I’m going Oliver the great into Grundy the hipster 😉
Well I just realised I have the C on Gawn instead of the VC. So that’s my round over. FML
120’s not too bad bro, I bet you still have a great score 🙂
Just a massive kick in the pills when you make a rookie mistake like that. Was supposed to be Gawn into Mitchell.
Hi Rick, I noticed you had them back to front at the start of the game (JR Mega-League) … I thought “sh1t have I got my colours wrong?” .. then checked again and was relieved.. then wondered how many reds you’d downed before the game .. duffer..
good luck ..
What’s the thinking on maintaining the same captain as my opponent? We’ve both got Grundy but I’m pretty happy with Macrae’s total tonight as Vice. Keep it or go with Grundy to nullify the difference?
Take Macrae’s score, Grundy could rupture his testicles 2 minutes in.
Nuts..
Thanks Russty. Good call on the hold.
