2016 after a shocker last week.

We wouldn’t know, you didn’t post your score last week.

 

[Plugger35]

1698 with Bont captain.

Horror round, so many shit scores, I dropped the shittest ones from TDK, Pou, Grlj and Sharp but I had to eat lots of other turds.

So many problems to fix and only 3 trades to fix them.

Sacked in the morning

Brad is legit the best thing that’s ever happened to Essendon. #fivemoreyears

interesting tactic to say the least

Makes it even weirder that they were hell bent on keeping Merrett. Surely if there's already cultural issues you let guys go if they don't want to be there. Even if they talked him into a different team that was offering a better deal.

Club was in an invidious position, tbf.
To trade your best player to the old enemy off the back of perceptions of poaching (though I think Zachariah left the wedding ring in the nightstand and headed off to the swinger's club off his own bat), Bombers probably felt they had to be getting a king's ransom back to placate the base.
But yeah, holding him there for another year when he's now pretty certain to bolt and the side looks cemented to the foot of the ladder this year instead of getting something decent from Hawks or anyone willing to top their offer ends up looking like another blunder.
Really tough spot to be in / get yourself into

 

[Deliverance]

Nother shit round 1829

Hate these first few weeks when so much luck of the draw in which premos go huge and which suck nuts.

 

[TasSixer]

1817 is that serviceable?

 

[Jiska]

1,759 for me.. going around the grounds, 1900+ seems to be par this week.

1,725 for me.

Serong Richards , both Daicos boys missing, no Xerri, no Murdock, tried to play safe this year so all the rest of my premos are highly owned. I dunno. Reload next week I guess.

Then to see on social media that a lot of the supporters want Hird back, I don’t understand the logic. I don’t understand that club at all really

Only the good scores though

 

[vanders]

Just checked the Bigfooty group in the SC app and guess who got the highest score this round

No essendon fan with half a brain wants Hird back. That'd be a catastrophic failure

 

[roospur]

1969 C Xerri the saviour

 

[Kadog]

1940 Bont

Can’t believe they didn’t give the 200. CD are real party pooping campaigners.

Good to see Dev Murdock Blamires & Watkins score well and give us great minus BE $$ after the earlier disaster of of Pou Sharp Lombard and co.

 

[TasSixer]

How the **** did North lose?

 

[Saints4ever]

2030 post scaling

That's after removing my bottom 5 scores of 14, 20, 43, 44, 48!

And this is exactly why the byes suck.

Well done on your score.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

1812 Bont

 

[Saints4ever]

1865 not a disaster but I’m sure I’ll take a tumble down the rankings

 

[kool kangas]

ooops! 2067

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Well done on your score.

TBF ....teams will have volatile scoring over these byes ...depending on how many of each bye players you have .....and fixture matchups

 

[Raveneyes]

Good job! Great score.

Only 10/300 got over 2000 in the group

I got the 3rd highest this week.... but it looks like I'm leading the group overall!

 

[JuddgementDay]

If you think you've had a bad week, just have a look at mine...

I'm currently ranked 90K, with a score of 1,678 it's sayonara - my JuddmentDay has arrived way too early!

But, I'll wipe away my tears and front up from a 3 figure in the Ks - yikes!

<<Insert GIF - it's just flesh wound>>

They have the best coach too - just ask him

 

[Saints4ever]

Very true.

I just find best 18 frustrating, you get 5 crap scores drop out.

Teams with better depth can be penalised sometimes.

 

[cznsnowy91]

1892, was 46k last week so hopefully push up a bit.

Their ruckman thinks he's a midfielder.
