Welcome to the Sir Doug Nicholls Round part 1 .....part 2 to be Round 11, next week .....I have to admit, this round is one of the most exhilarating rounds of the footy calendar .....pomp, pageantry, and ceremonial
Certainly expecting my side to bounce back, after what can only be called, a catastrophic Round 9 .......a perfect storm occurring with my team ... a team, I wouldn't have described as capable of churning out the score it did
Being the optimist, that I am .....I quickly got the rage out of my system Sunday Night .....and buckled up for an assault to climb back up the rankings
By this time of the season, we're starting to see some team variations .....choices of player (A) over player (B) ....these selections can propel our season's fwd, or bring them unstuck.
Planning for the Byes, if not already started, should be top of mind ....with future trades. None so important as for Steele owners, the guy we saw as Mr Invincible, Dependable, and Robust .....yeah, well all the freaking rules have gone out the window, this year .....Preuss is looking unbreakable (hope I just jinxed him ), whilst dependable's like Steele break ... like an egg
Little role changes, can have a dramatic impact on our players scoring ..... Short was "the man" in the RICH midfield ....then in the last 2 weeks, Cotchin & Prestia have been added to the midfield .....with Short confined to HFF for long periods last week .....but am I unhappy, no ! ...... I prefer the optimistic POV & to take the high ground with these discussions ....... I wish Cotchin & Prestia all the best at the "G" this weekend & I'm sure, given RICH are playing the Red & Black Traffic Cones, there'll be enough points to spread around ......just in case though:
If you haven't heard the news .....GWS have a new Coach ....an ESS former player, so I'm sure that'll just work out fine. However, part of my cunning plan on resurrecting my Fantasy side, is the
Fancy ditching Cogs, after giving me a slight case of infantile reflux to his scoring, the last 2 weeks ......Jelly decided, it's that time of the year to with our heads, yet again .....an annual event, happens every year, like clockwork ......just like the Flu ....and like the Flu, you just know you're going to be sick, as a Jelly owner
This week, it's GWS, at home, against the WCE ......who'll be playing 21 men ....as they can't find a Ruckman ....and yet again Preuss has a free ride ....... .... !!!!!
Hopefully, GWS will be so consumed with kicking goals .....they won't give a **** about Greg Clark getting disposals ......it'll be a picnic event, and fun will be had by all
Big decisions this week, with our (VC) and (C) options ......Macrea, has an enviable Mars Stadium record ....so do you overlook Cripps / Mills, in favour of Macrea .....or do you put the (VC) on Witts .....who's playing a "homebrand" Bulldogs Ruckman
Then we have Oliver, up against North .....Neale playing a youthful HAWKS Midfield ? .....Mr Reliable Roy Laird ? .....or even Andy Brayshaw against a COLL side, which may be less than Crispy ??
Make or break calls !!
So many of the high % players, have a favourable round ......Stewart & SDK at the Cattery .....the Bulldogs on a Mars Track, that seems to bamboozle most visiting sides .....Gold Coast, not used to the cold & wind, may in fact revolutionise the AFL this weekend ....wearing long sleeves & leg-ins, filled with heat beads ......bring back the memories, of when real men played footy & you broke each other's teeth, or cheekbones ....then had a laugh about it over a beer
I don't normally talk up a Crows match ......but this week's matchup with the SAINTS, promises to be a good matchup ....... Laird, Dawson, should have big games, against a side, minus Capt Steele .....does that impact Sinclair, as well ? ......I'm expecting another big game from Gresham, against a Crows DEF, that isn't what you'd say, is all that organised, professional, or for that matter .....good
SBS promises to be out in force, this week ..... it never fails to bring us down, after a successful Friday / Saturday
I hope, everyone has a great round .....that all your trades succeed ....and that Preuss does a hammy in the 1st Qtr (only joking) ??
NOTE: This OP unfortunately had to have sections redacted, after being run past our Legal Dept ........a bunch of oversensitive Boomer Munchkins, they are !!
