The Monday Wrap

[FBDonkey]

This is the Monday Wrap. The pace to tell the world how you went in SC on the weekend.

Score - 2466 (32 more than last week)

Overall ranking - 64th (up 23 spots)

Heroes - Goddard, Ablett, SELWOOD, , Mitch Clark, Roo, Buddy, JBrown, Goodwin, Suban (for Gilbee)

Villains - Gilbee, HMac, Higgins, Dal

League Status - 1st, 3rd, 6th

Injury concerns - Hopefully StevieJ is back this week. Probably just bench Higgins (have 2 playing rookies). Newman?

Trades - no trades last week, or this week. Happy with my recent additions of MClark and Pendles

Vent: no vent this week, things have been going nicely last 3 weeks.

Kudos: Joel Selwood. what a superstar!!!

Thoughts- Another high scoring week. This is my highest score of the year (beats 2450). I have only had one score below 2100 so far this year.

How was your supercoach weekend?

 

[Satan]

Won my league game in BF 8 league by 1 point to be 5th
Everything else is irrelevant

PK if you win, see if you can change your nick to "PK LE 50GRAND"

 

[PK]

Score - 2511

Overall ranking - 1st (But added a small margin to my lead )

Heroes - Jolly + Selwood + Leon + Lockyer + Suban + Whole Forward Line + Lindsay Gilbee for realising football is not the most important thing in life

Villains - Copping A Donut + Grima (For getting drunk last Sunday) + Midfield (Goodes/Cross/Dal Santo) + ROK (Captain aswell as being on 89 @ 3/4 Time) + General Poor Last Quarters + The Essendon FC

League Status - 2nd + 1st + 2nd

Injury concerns - Newman with what could be a serious knee + Judd (Ankle)

Trades - Running low

Vent - Myself for working all year to get Ablett in my team and proceed by not making him (C) as the only reason I got him in was so I could perma-captain him. Being forced to cop my first donut of the year wasn't a pleasure but can't afford the trade so what can you do?

Kudos - Darren Jolly! Love you big man

Thoughts - Missed a big week to push out to a 300 point lead Fire up uniques!

 

[HibSam]

Score - 2500

Overall Ranking - 1,557 (up 808)

Heroes - Most players, but special mention to Goddard, J Selwood, Ablett, Sandilands, Riewoldt and Goodwin.

Villains - Captain ROK, Hodge and HMAC.

League Status - 1st and 8th

Injury Concerns - Possibly Newman and that's about it.

Trades - 3 left.

Vent - Captain O'Keefe didn't pay off and I just can't pick the right player to start on the field - Rich or Anthony

Kudos - Similar to Heroes.

Thoughts - Making a surge for top 1000.

 

[CaptainChardonnay]

Score: 2120

Overall ranking: Not in contention

Heroes: Golbert, Broughton, Swan, Kornes, Franklin, Goodwin, Pav (How I missed you!!), Wirra, Judd, Bartel, Ablett.. Though I expect more out you last three....

Villains: Harding, Rich, McIntosh, Kruezer (Though glad I din't so with my gut and change him out for White.. ), Murphy.

Kudos: Jurrah, Hill & Anthony. All my reserves. Only Anthony wasn't required this weekend.

Leagues: 6th, 1st, 1st. Played the guy that was equal 1st with me (He was ahead by percentage) and smashed him by near on 300 points!!)

Vent: Nothing worth mentioning. Murphy was down but so were the Doggies across the board.

Injury concerns: Higgins... What's the story there??? Newman?? Didn't see the game. Still waiting on Stevie J.

Trades: Nil this week. Down to last couple and all my league games are winnable with about 18 players on the field!

Thoughts: Holding together but only just. Glad I brought in Jurrah & Anthony. Awesome cover IMO. Glad I DIDN'T trade Hill for teh same reason. Kinda glad that Gilbee didn't play. I think he needed a rest. Happy for them to rest up Higgins this week too!

 

[Hondo]

Score - 2525 (personal best)

Overall ranking - 1398 (up about 850 spots)

Heroes - Goddard, Ablett, Selwood, Bock, Buddy, JBrown, Gilbert, Swan, Pendlebury, Deledio, Pavlich, Kornes

Villains - HMac, Higgins, Fev, Harvey

League Status - 3rd - locked in 3rd for finals now

Injury concerns - Higgins. Newman? Silvester on my bench had a red cross against his name on FanFooty.

Trades - 4 left for finals. Will likely delay any move on Higgins for at least 1 week unless he's a definite LTI. He's been a gun for my team so not sure about moving him out if it's only 2 weeks. Will delay a luxury upgrade I was thinking about.

Vent: Fev - think I need to vent at Carlton's whole team

Kudos: Joel Selwood. Greg Broughton scoring another 100. Kane Cornes who has racked up 6 tons and 2 90s in his last 9 games all while I keep planning on luxury upgrading him. Bock 155 = wow.

Thoughts- My first time with my best possible team so far this year (no injuries, 22 keepers) came up trumps. Just need to manage my remaining trades carefully and I may be able to win my league and rank top 1000. We'll see.

 

[BigSledge]

Score 2332
Overall Ranking 6775 (up 1198)
Heroes Jolly, Ablett, Bock and both Riewoldts
Villains Fev, Hodge, Cooney & Hmac
League Status 3rd, 2nd & 5th(bigfooty div 11)
Injury Concerns Newman, Fevola & Grimes
Trades 4 left was finally gonna bring in Goddard for finals this week not sure who for yet.
Vent Fev & Hodge mainly just Fev though
Kudos Suban for pulling in a 93 coming in for Grimes and J Riewoldt for his 140
Thoughts Averaging around 2270 in my last 7 round is helping me catch up after my poor start to the year. Hopefully I can steal a top four spot in my bigfooty league this week.

 

[woodyman]

Score - 2462

Overall ranking – 10th (down 1)

Heroes – Goddard, Selwood, Pendles, Voldt, J Brown, Pavlich

Villains – Harvey, Petrie, H-Mac, NDS, Rich, Hodge, Gilbee

League Status – Don’t care

Injury concerns – Looks to be a few potentially Newman and Judd

Trades - I wish

Vent: Bloody Gilbee dropping out! Bloody NDS having a huge game possession wise but a horrible SC game. No good! Leon Davis only scoring 117 from a massive game... hmmm Brent Harvey having a shocker.. Buying Petrie instead of Jolly and Clark, Damnit!!! Too many what if's and poor trades have hurt my season.

Kudos: Joel Selwood is a gun.

Thoughts- My unique players did not do enough this week and need to lift moving forward

 

[WildRover]

Score - 2476

Overall Ranking - 3rd (same as last week)

Heroes - Goddard, Selwood, Brown, Pavlich and Deledio.

Villains - Hodge (oh i hate u Luke Hodge), Petrie u suck, Didak

League Status - All 1st...

Injury Concerns - Judd and Newman...

Trades - hmmm, it's getting tough...

Vent - I wish Riewoldt would just break down.

Kudos - Pavlich, the man is just a genuine star. Playing in a poo team and delivers week in week out when he is actually playin.

Thoughts - Le Grand and Jackson in my sites. Le Grand got a very nice lead, but it changes VERY quickly. 170 is a 2 week lead and there are 5 weeks to go...

 

[munk3ymark]

Score - 2251

Overall ranking – 8926 (up about 500 overall)

Heroes - Goddard, Ablett, Selwood, Buddy, JBrown, Riewoldt, Deledio, Gibbs, Judd, Broughton, Suban

Villains - HMac, Higgins, Fisher, Krakouer, Ellis

League Status – 5th, 2nd, 11th

Injury concerns – Higgins, Newman, Judd?

Trades - 4 left with about $200K in the bank. Waiting to see if Skipworth, Pratt, Grimes and/or Gardiner return plus injury news before deciding how to proceed.

Vent- HMac- traded you in to cover Cox, and that’s just not cutting it dude. Also, Sammy Fisher- you’re really starting to annoy me. SC scoring system- Dal only getting 88 points- grr. Anthony outscoring Rich- might have won my BF league game if I’d had him on the ground instead.

Kudos- Joel Selwood. Brendon Goddard. Cap’n Gazza (again). Greg Broughton scoring another 100. Anthony being the perfect emergency (although see above). Brown and Buddy scoring the way they should be. And to all the Big Footy posters in the top 10- nice work lads. One day I’ll get it right.

Thoughts- A nervous wait to see if I can make it into the top 4 in my main league. 4th plays 3rd this week (I’m 5th ,one win behind 4th ), and if 3rd wins (and I win my game of course), I’ll sneak in. Must do some serious analysis on both their teams as well- think they were both playing with several zeroes last week.

 

[Skystyler]

Score - 2449

Overall Ranking - 138th (up 49)

Heroes - Goddard, Selwood, Gaz(c), Pavlich, Buddy, Volt and Deledio.

Villains - Munter Mundy, Didak, Stokes, HMac, Paul Roos for taking Goodes off the ball and plonking him into the Swans forward line where the shit delivery and opposition floods gave him no chance of notching a decent score.

League Status - who cares...my league sucks.

Injury Concerns - Judd and Cox

Trades - not enough

Vent - Just kick the damn ball Rhyce Shaw you maggot-pie-reject. Goodes has Cale Morton on him in the goal square ffs. Its a no-brainer even for you. Well if yr not gonna kick it to him at least bounce the f*cker. Thats what yr good at. What r u doing? BOUNCE IT, QUICK! OMFG!!!! U F'ING *&%$!!!! Somebody give me a gun.

Kudos - Joel Selwood - almost won that game singlehanded. Thought about making him Captain when the rumours were flying about Gaz but didn't.

Thoughts - the top 100 is within my reach. Thats about the best I can hope for. Torn about whether to trade out Cox while I've got Nicnat covering.

 

[The Swert]

Score - 2466 (7 less than last week)

Overall ranking - 16,126th (up 5,538 spots )

Heroes - Ablett, Goddard, Riewoldt, Selwood, Embley, Deledio, Franklin, Gilbert

Villains - Higgins, McIntosh, Hodge, Roughead, Rich, Kreuzer

League Status - 3rd and 7th (by %)

Injury concerns - Higgins (will probably hold), Grimes and Schammer

Trades - Only 1 left. Brought in Drummond for Pratt last Friday after Pratt was dropped. Happy with recent recruits in Selwood, Riewoldt and Goddard

Vent: Pratt being a spud. My worst trade in and now he gets dropped. Glad to get rid of him.

Kudos: Joel Selwood.

Thoughts- Have hit form at the right time of the season, hopefully not too late to make a stab at finals. Goal is to make finals in my first year, anything else is a bonus. Looking good so far.

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

Score - 2459

Overall ranking - 13th (16th last week)

Heroes - God, Roo, Ablett, Sandi, J.Brown, Lids, Gilbert, Clark, Buddy

Villains - Higgins, Hodge, Cooney

League Status - Still on top in all

Injury concerns - Higgins, Chad

Trades - None

Vent: Brought in Hodge for Grimes, MASSIVE fail!

Kudos: Sandi, awesome to have him back. Clark has been great since bringing him in.

Thoughts- Have been expecting to slide for a while now but hasn't happened. Will probably happen in the next few weeks but I'll try to hold on.

 

[sblack]

Score - 2326

Overall ranking - 263 (Down drom 261)

Heroes - God, Roo, Ablett, J.Brown, Lids, Clark, Broughton, Boyd

Villains - Higgins, Hodge, Dal Santo, HMac

League Status - Cash league- 5th with 1-5 separated by about 120pts, 2nd in other good league.

Injury concerns - Higgins, Judd, Newman

Trades - None

Vent: Brought in Hodge for Grimes

Kudos: Brougton. Avg of 100 still. 3rd most expensive defender in my side at nearly 500k (7th most expensive active defender overall)

Thoughts- Happy to hold my position with a poor score in comparison to others.

 

[Jeremias]

Score - 2,628

Overall ranking - 777

Heroes - Goddard, Corey, Selwood, Ablett, Clark, Deledio, Pavlich, Franklin

Villains - McIntosh

League status - 2nd, 1st, 9th

Injury concerns - Chad, Judd, SJ

Trades - 3 left, 90k spare

Vent - Would it kill Geelong to be honest about SJ's injury?

Kudos - 17 players scoring 100+ for me was fantastic. Ballantyne filling in for SJ with a 77. Goddard for being Goddard

Thoughts - Massive game for me in my 3rd league. Need a big win to sneak into 8th position and if I do that, whilst a finals berth is likely, it isn't guarranteed. Going to be a nervous weekend . Got a really nice team at the moment so hoping to sit tight and hopefully watch the big scores roll in over the coming weeks.

 

[Elroy67]

Score - 2,281

Overall ranking - 12,038 (up 1400 places)

Heroes - Goddard, Swan, Suban (stepping up when required), Clark, Pavlich, Franklin

Villains - McIntosh, Higgins

League status - 1st (only in 1 league)

Injury concerns - Higgins, Judd, Grimes

Trades - 4 left, 41.5k spare

Vent - None really

Kudos - Suaban, good scores when needed in the last few weeks

Thoughts - My first year of SC and am happy to have dragged my ranking steadily up from beyond 50k early in the piece. 2nd, 3rd and 4th in my league are all scoring 150+ more than me each week so am hoping the few trades I have will help me find those extra points!
