Still good. Shame you couldn't the prize.Came 4th for the week (actually with 2305). Lost by 7 points so obviously choosing Gawn's 151 vc against going with my original gut feel and staying with Grundy as captain has cost me $1.000.

Post your side mate and how many trades left
. Awesome job mate.
Not a lot of cash generation, Brad, unless I traded Parker down to Logue, but I'm a bit reluctant to trade him as at least he's an F7 getting games. I am considering though.
This was in SC, Peanut. Put up a side solely with the purpose of winning round 14. If Gawn had scored around 130 instead of 151, I would have stayed with Grundy as captain and would therefore have won the week.
$56,100, Bandicoot.
Yeah, I kept up with the discussion after you first posted that you were going for the weekly in SC in the last round of they byes last week. With the amount of entries and other people likely doing the same thing, you crushed it. Would have been good to see you win it. Such a tough call with captain, you never know which is the right way to go until it's too late.
I was a little surprised as to how many different players we had in our squads. The winner had Parker, Marshall, Gray, Rich, Merrett & Ross in his counted 18 as against my Yeo, Henderson, Stewart, Treloar, Crisp & Dunkley. What hurt me was that I had Neale and Kelly as non scorers (along with Worpel and Hore. He had Worpel, Johannisen, Darling and Sicily. Don't know who he had as captain.
I was so much hoping that Grundy would score no more than 151.
I am so honoured that the 3rd placed guy has Guthrie as well! Has been driving me insane lately but glad to see that success is still possible with him. But you really need to get rid of him ASAP. But if he starts playing a more defensive role like he did in the last qtr this week, then he may yet be a decent premo...
Hold firm, R&W. He's owned by 563 coaches, has a BE of 63 and is averaging close enough to 90. He's unique. If everyone had the same players, you're just treading ground, not bridging it. So for us, he's not really a priority upgrade at all. It's more likely Bray will go before any of the backs before one becomes Whitfield.
I did similar with Yeo over Grundy. Still think it is the best strategy in general. In the absolute worst case scenario (i.e. this weekend) you miss out on ~50 points, but at least you still have that mammoth scorer on your books even if they are not captain.The downside of rolling lockout = Took the C of Macrae to bank Gawn's 129 VC score
Because the guy who won the weekly also had Gawn. He would therefore have lost the 20 points also meaning he would have finished 13 behind me.
Yeah, that's possible if they didn't already have him as captain.
