Round 22 ended with another average score of 2156. 🤷♂️
Wasn’t the ideal scoring week with only a few players getting a ton or more.
Vc loophole wasn’t taken as Merrett failed to hit a ton. Went with a flip of a coin and handed Marshall the captaincy. A great result there with his 131.

Daicos and Maric both made way for Sicily and Borlase.
Not the ideal return for Sicily but with most jumping on him, it didn’t hurt too much. Borlase subbed out injured 🤦♂️
Two weeks to go until this year is behind us!! 🎉 😅🥳

First week of finals, over!
A much needed bounce back this week.
Scored 2369 for round 21.
Some very good scorers this week and thankfully got the vc loop spot on, like so many did. Hard to go past the Bont. In such good form right now.
Overall rank has stayed steady this year, some good players getting it done!
↔️Trades ↔️
Harvey and Keays made way for Visentini and Cogs.
Scored more points from keays to cogs and then some bank with Harvey down to Visentini.
Having that extra few k may help with those upgrades in the coming weeks.

Last round before finals is done!
Huge four weeks ahead for the race to fantasy flags.
Our round 20 score was 2394, which again, is about in average. Scores have been consistent but the ceiling hasn’t been pushed too much.
Had the vc option in daicos and then had to pull the captain card for Trac.
↔️trades↔️
Walsh to Neale
Johnson to Nankervis
A so so trade. Expecting Neale to bounce back with Lions run through to finals.
23/07/2023
Finishing up round 19 with a score of 2244.
Not a terrible week all things considering, a reasonable score. Walsh starting on fire and then being subbed out injured wasn’t ideal. Fielding Johnson instead of Windy was the cherry on top.
The loophole option for Bont was terrific, got the vc right this week.
↔️Trades↔️
Laird and Green made way this week for Steele and Petracca.
At this point of the season, didn’t feel like the hold on Laird would pay off.
Not confident it’s just going to be the 1 week miss either. The two coming in did a good job, Steele in some hot form.
17/07/2023
Round 18 scores posted!
A big variation of large scores backed in with some premos that failed to fire.
Finished with 2278, which isn’t too bad considering the carnage that loomed large this round.
Had the VC on Gulden and took the loop option with his 126.
Only a couple more weeks until fantasy finals, hope your teams are close to the finished result!
↔️Trades for this week↔️
Bailey smith and Sheldrick made way for C.Harvey and Merrett.
Not the best week to bring in Merrett but needed to be done eventually.
🙏🏽

Round 17, not the ideal score!
Back to our average ways! 😁
2188 for the week with some changes that will need to be made.
Vc went to Timmy T again and when that didn't go well, we gave the C over to Dawson to us. 😂
Few stinkers from some premos but none worse than B. Smith. He is in a terrible run of form and has lost over $200k. Carnage pending, he's got to go this week.
We decided not to hold Dunkley this week as it isn't clear how long he will be out for. Freed up some cash to make a slight upgrade.
↔️Trades ↔️
Hobbs - Crouch
Dunks - Bontempelli

Round 16!!
Woah!!
2431, thank your Mother for the rabbits!
Massive score this week, like quite a fair few.
Always nice to be in the conversation though!
The vc and C options were pretty generic.
Timmy T with the vc into Dawson.
Can't be too upset with that, even with Daicos and Rozee's scores.
↔️Trades ↔️
For this week the trades were
Reily O'Brien out for English and Wilmot made way for Cuningham.
The results of that for this week is a bit iffy but the cash generation and pushing forward, it will be worth it.
I think by now, having English is almost a must.
25/06/2023
Finally! Last week of byes are over!
Finished with 1989, so close to cracking the 2k 🤏
Never mind, a solid effort anyway
Huge thanks to Dawson going berserk today! Chose to take the vc loop on Dunks instead.
What can you do! 😅
Some good rotation of players through the byes, team does feel and look better.
↔️Trades ↔️
wardlaw - lohmann
williams - windhager
roberts - keays
Freeing up some cash, ready to attack the back end of the season!
20/06/2023
Round 14 in the books, second last week of the byes! 👏🤘
Happy to get the numbers for this week's round, not the ideal score but never is!
Stuck with the Timmy T for captain and it paid off nicely!
He's going very well this year, no questions about it!!
↔️Trades ↔️
Van Royen – Sheldrick
Hunt – Sinclair
Angewin - Fletcher
Some nice upgrades there and freed up some cash!
Hugely important for the back end of the season!

Round 13, 5 days of footy and a final score of 2022.
Not a bad effort considering only 18 scorers.
Seemed about par for the round.
No complaints from us this week, fairly decent all round.
The easiest of the bye rounds gone and more than likely a storm coming our way 😅
Went Dawson into Taranto this week for the captain. Fair play to the rookies this week, Johnson and Wardlaw with the Sheeze almost getting the ton. Daicos keeps doing good things.
Trades for the round were
Davey – maric
Cowan – fahey
Mcvee – m.johnson
Freed up some cash and improved the bench.
This is the time to make sure you’re getting that sorted.
05/06/2023
First week of the too many bye rounds is complete!
Not too shabby with the round, for the 18 players we've scored 1757.
I've seen a few getting to the 2k mark, well done.
It was a little tough and the captain choice needed to be spot on.
Had Laird with the Captains duties and unfortunately, he completely 💩 the bed.
It was a coin flip between him and Dawson.. 😑
↔️Trades for the week↔️
The three trades were used this week to somehow make the team better...
Fiorini, Atkins and Ashcroft made way for Walsh, Hobbs and Mullins.
29/05/2023
Round 11 settled, with another average round in.
2163 to finish off with, could've been 2k with some attention to who had the captaincy 😅😭
Like many who own, a couple of Sun's that will be on the trade table this week. Big let down but they've done their job. Time to ditch (if you can) as they've made their money.
The most surprising score for the round in my opinion was J. Hunt.
Hhhhuuuuggeee!
↔️Trades for the week ↔️
J. Kelly and Hollands to B. Smith and Butters.
Side note, these next four weeks are huge for team development. Start to plan what you want your team to look like post the bye month.
