Same, except not counting my chickens, but he may be a late withdrawal

Unlikely.

sounds good just hard to believe hahahaha, saying that he could be out for 6 weeks, and then just missing one. Kudos waters

Just throwing one out to Smedts. Had him all year. Didn't rise quickly enough to be an earlier upgrade target, so stuck with him as backup. Stepped up with his highest score so far tonight. Well done son.

Will throw him one as well. Is getting better by the week as he gets consistent games. Now providing some decent forward cover for me, after being my D9 for most of the first half of the year

 

[entourage]

Kudos to my man Jobe Watson. Starting with you has been bliss. The cheapest super premium mid at the start of the year you have not disappointed. Ranked 5th in avg. points and 3rd in total points, most likely will be 2nd after this week.

 

[yogibbear]

I upgraded Horsley to Watson in round 11 (due to Horsley getting rested or whatever happened I can't remember anymore)

Since then:
131, 101, 126, 82, 124, 121

So awesome. Also it is awesomer as the obvious choice at the time was Stanton and he has been avg'ing more like ~100 over that time period.

 

[Butler]

Yep started with Watson as well and stoked with it. Before his hammies went last year he was tearing it up as well. Glad i went him over Stanton although it wasn't looking that great for a while there.

 

[Ess_don]

^Exactly. Was a bit uneasy when Stants pumped out that monster 192, but good ol Watson now proving his awesome consistency regardless of hard tags.. and the best thing about Jobe is that always seems to give 110% so you know he hasnt left anything out there and as a coach (and a fan!) just makes you feel satisfied seeing his performance.

Unlike some players who doesnt even look like their are sweating after the game.. makes you feel frustrated that they could have run harder, get a couple more +6s etc.

Massive kudos to big Trav for some incredible consistency

I played him over Treloar, don't know what I was thinking.

 

[mrpig]

Kudos for an inspirational performance from waters!!! just left me speechless how he kept on keeping on even after the head bump against tippet (which made tippet get subbed). Just so happy with him atm, not really fussed about his 70pts, just happy he played, and tried his best. KUDOS MATE!!! such a tough footy player

Grimes .

 

[joeyavalanche]

Grimes .

becoming a very solid back is grimes.
owners who took the punt on grimes over waters at the start of the year might have their faith paid off at the right time of year...

 

[Schulzenfest]

When do the ones who picked Malceski over both of them get their faith paid off?

I would've had Grimes if not for his pre-season injuries. Dammit. But good luck to him, nice to see him finally having a bit of luck with injuries and well done to those who picked him.

 

[schnoods]

Kudos to the players i didnt expect to score well for scoring well. Harry Taylor 103, Daniel Merret 103, Tomahawk 99, Porp 99 and the 100 plus scores from steviej, Sloane and GazzA as captain pulling through.

You have Harry Taylor, Merret and Hawkins???

 

[schnoods]

Yes. I didnt do too much research at the start of the year with long term injuries, brought them from the start as benchers and unknowingly had to trade quite a few players out due to injuries (i chose my team about 10 minutes before the first bounce).

Anyways they have had their moments...

i sold Grimes after rd4

would've averaged 90+ since

 

[Sergian]

Treloar.

 

[CJApples87]

Like Sergian my kudos is for Treloar as well. In my cash league I needed him to outscore Giles by 44 points to win my game (and increase my winning streak to 11 in a row). A superb effort from the pasty youngster who just keep popping up with cheap marks while Giles couldn't do a thing right .

 

[Schulzenfest]

Kudos to desperation new signing Scott Gumbleton with a very respectable 4 goals and 69 DT points in a 94 point loss for his side.

Kudos to Robinson, Sidebottom and Franklin for getting injured, which meant I had no forward emergencies, which meant I put the emergency on Giles, which means I won't be copping a zero for Jacobs.

EDIT: And kudos to Jacobs for getting injured so I benefitted from Giles' 118. What a strange week.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Going early...go big Clokey!!! Never in doubt once I gave him the VC, guarantees a good score

 

[lmach]

Kudos to me for trading in Cloke to avoid a 0 (will sit on my bench unless he scores good consistently) and adding to my big list of Collingwood players:

Swan (C)
Pendlebury
Beams
Sidebottom
Shaw
Cloke

 

[amazingjoshy]

Bloody hell Swanny going crazy in the last!!

 

[lmach]

I LOVE YOU DANE SWAN YOU CHAMP!
