Game Day 2023 Round 24 Discussion - GRAND FINAL WEEK

[A Bit Dusty]

First time this year I cracked 2500
Had a bad start to the year and never got going after bad trades, some underperforming premo's and lots of injuries.

 

[Sherman41]

Here it is, the end result of one of the most meh years I’ve had. Top 10k was in sight but a poor last 3 weeks saw me drop 6k.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Best score in the last round. Feels like when you're having a crap round of golf then birdie the last.

Disappointing year, early injuries (like most) and some poor trade in's. Been in the 5-15k range all year.

 

[Makeshift Park]

It was a middling year for me with some good wins and a couple hare-brained mistakes.
Honestly, in the final month, after running out of trades and bailing out of the Tragics finals, I did lose interest.
Given that, finishing round 24 with my highest rank of the season was an achievement in itself, since I used my last trade round 18, and my bench depth was Mills, Maric and Cincotta.
Onwards and upwards my friends. Congrats to all who finished in the top 1k.

 

[croweater 41]

Went backwards in the first two weeks of finals with poor captains choices and could crack the top 2K liked I hoped but finished 2/3 gf wins both cashys so good out come.

Took until the final round, but you finally got me evo. Great year

Cheers mate, I m still shocked by spud Mills performance. I have no idea where that came from.

 

[stevebbb]

Having a 23rd premo doesn't work when none of your players get injured and your bench spuds start playing again.

Juggling Mills and DCameron on field in rounds 23 and 24 cost me a whopping 143 points.

rd23 (Mills on field) = 59 pts lost
rd24 (Mills on bench) = 84 pts lost

Anyway, even if I got it right and you add those 143 points, I would have just missed out on the top 1000.

In the end I'll take 1483rd after a poor (and boring) season. Good footy, s**t SC.

 

[JoeGab]

Rank 3379 which is my best final rank so thats always good. Surprised I didn't drop off a bit more towards the end, 0 trades after daicos was out

 

[Faz 2000]

End of another pretty consistent and solid season:



The Velour Fog's history has been pretty consistent, with an outlier great season (2016, 21st overall) and an outlier shocker (2017 ghost ship 19,631th). My aim is to be top 1% or so, with top 10,000 the bare minimum mark of competency.

Consistently finishing in the top 1% is a great result, anything after that is mostly down to luck.

 

[HocusPocusFocus]

2,657 - which I think may be my highest round score plus won both GFs comfortably, so I should be happy right? Still feeling quite disappointed though and, looking at some of the scores being posted on here, a bit embarrassed tbh. Doc out meant I had to dry swallow Maric's 49, plus Taranto's late season spudliness didn't help much either. At least the vc (Bont) worked out pretty well. Missed the top 10k (by a measly 19 points), which is what I was aiming for after such a cr4p start to the season.

 

[stevebbb]

Holy s**t, a sore of 3000. First time I've seen that. Unbelievale

LOL! He had Bont as VC and didn't take it and then goes Butters C.

[No eye deer]

Ended up finishing 872nd overall. Anyone got any idea when they send the top 1k prizes out?

One last one for the season kenties.

You missed one!^^

 

[No eye deer]

Won my cashy. $900 richer!
Couldn’t quite crack the top 5000, after a shocking first month.
What a long, strange trip it’s been!
See all you kents next season!

 

[JT_the_Man]

2736 and still couldn't win my only Grand Final... With Cincotta and Fletcher on field too.

 

[Sketi]

Strong finish, finished with my highest rank of the year.

Could have been even higher if I didn't captain English, and had Mills on the bench



Very happy with the final midfield performance though



Cheers kenties, might see you around some other corners of BF

 

[Biggie]

Hell of a year



Highlight was Rnd 17 finishing 20th for the rnd.

And that 2750 for a GF win in my cashie. I thought I had a bigger score but nope that looks to be my PB.

An absolute blast with you all, look forward to 2024.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Final rank 76,346

Any campaigner lols and I'll spam ya with Hurn pics
Not bad considering Hurn was my perma captain for the last 3 rounds and only played one of them
