Oh man, just like that, Bogue is out to 61 whilst Stone way behind on 35.
Toss of the coin for who to field gone wrong, but makes the one I trade out easier.

Evened out in the end
Stone got a goal and got within 15.

So who did everyone captain this week? I went with Strom, since Crows/North have tough matchups and right now, my team have no players with tons, so not looking like a great week for me.

Oh no mate.
Weird game - should suit with the conditions, contested ball etc.
eagles have 3 rucks against Mim!
 
There have to be a lot of people up the top without Bowers. I'm up to ~250th with a half of Turbo and Strom to go.
The North game when she went 74 must have seen people jump off. Which is crazy to me, as sure, she's not gunna be the C option of old, but she's still a Top 12 mid right now and pretty consistent.

I'm up to 304 and rising, which is bonkers to me. Pure luck I roughied in Hore, and so many of my premos haven't fired.

I thought about Hore, but the fact she had only had the one 100+ score this year worried me. Went Prespakis, missed out on a bunch of points and some cash, now it's probably Georgie out to get Jas back. I think this was the first week on the official game that I've ever not had Garner when she played and I hated it. Still think it was the right play in terms of BEs, but it felt very wrong.

Sitting on 1475 at the moment, and I've gone from 176 to 166, pending changes to scores. I wouldn't be surprised if there's some significant adjustments. In particular, I thought they missed a couple of Bowers tackles. Huge second half from Strom helped significantly. My captain selections continue to disappoint.

Bowers got an extra tackle and Strom got another 5 points, which has jumped me to 153. Also lost the league matchup by 5.

Great half




All out 1,507
Up from 3.4k to 2.2k
Just saw the league matchup mate - super unlucky to lose your H2H despite having the third highest round score!

Meanwhile ended up at 1450 for me, rank 450. First backwards step for me in terms of climbing ranks, sliding down from 418 last week.
 
1535; up 700 places to 891

Pretty happy with that round. Trades wound up being Fish > Finn (win), Stone > Toogood (win) and Centra > Clara Fitzpatrick (calling this one a loss). Marinoff putting up 165 as captain was huge.
 
Ended up climbing to 232 overall after adjustment.

Maintaining it is going to be a real issue. Bench health is damn near horrible, I've got Howley that I can cut loose this week, but apart from that not much. Centra spike is nice, but maybe only a round or two there.

Desperately need some rookies to pop up, or I'll be sliding big time.

Hopefully can do something like:

Howley -> Young (or supercheap rook, but might do it anyway to start nailing the captaincy)
GPres -> Garner
Ott -> Boyd
