Game Day 2022 SC Round 2 - Player Affirmation or Repudiation Round

[VainGlorious]

Seems to be a pretty par score and I honestly thought I would drop in the rankings but went up a little bit.
Missed out on points by playing Gibcus over Minge and held Dusty instead of trading him.

Nice one mate. Dusty is an easy sideways to this bloke:

Yeah I thought about it on Friday but was still hopeful Dusty would play. That trade will be done now.

yesterday, after his splendid 80 odd in Rd 1. I guess it could have ended worse!

Going in the right direction, but it's a long way back from here.......

 

[Dazjack]

Outstanding. And with all trades intact.

Off to a flyer, 99

Imagine starting any other SC year with 2294 and 2244 and being ranked 35k. FMD!

Reckon those two scores last year would have just about had you leading the comp.

Doubt it. Round 2 last year I scored 2245 and was ranked 11,282 for the round.

Someone else here with a reasonable score in Round 1 should be able to provide context for that Round.

So far this year I've scored 2367 & 2379 and ranked 5917 O/A it probably would have been almost leading last year.
Last year I scored 2166 & 2382 the first 2 rounds and was 182 O/A

The pace is definitely hot this year, scoring is way higher than last year. I have more points after two rounds this year and am ranked 15K

Yep, thats handy, thanks. So somewhere between 700 and 1000 looking at that. A lot higher than I would have thought.

Is there any leagues to join?
If yes how do I go about it.
This is where my side is at

You could probably start your own league and invite people you know, but all the bigfooty leagues need to be filled before round 1 starts, otherwise they are auto filled at the end of the round by complete randoms.

Too late for a league this year, but feel free to join in the chat and banter throughout the year. Great start.

Thanx for that, did not know how it rolled, maybe next year then.

didn't put much of a dent in my ranking

I have to ask you: Is your moniker a tribute to unending anger at Kelvin Templeton crossing to Melbourne? That might be the longest held grudge since the Hatfields & The McCoys, if so.

Edit: I still spit in disgust when Nick Davis gets a mention.

haha - no its a tribute if anything - the great KT was why I started to follow the Dogs

my 8yo school class was taken to see Charlottes Web and I was enamoured with the name Templeton. a month or so later while watching the Big Replay one Saturday night when they called a Templeton playing for Footscray - and I've been a doggies supporter ever since.

so the Rat is my link to the dogs

Good story. Why’d you get that nickname?

I’m tipping you’re not referring to the 2006 movie

I was at Victoria Park, in the Collingwood cheer squad, the day he brought up his ton in '78. We all ran onto the ground and were all back off again, unbidden, in about 5 minutes flat.

Fond memories standing on a 6 pack on VB Hill as a kid watching the Pies. I learnt most of my swear words there. And perhaps some other life skills

Great backstory
Rough ending, Charlotte's web, when you're a little tacker. Takes you back.

[Dazjack]

SC, the Holy Grail, the game for the studied, measured, verifiable kind of campaigner; logical, sensible, attuned to the game like no other pretender. I love it for all of these reasons.

 

[Dazjack]

The wonderful Titus O'Reilly:

'The Eagles had 14 changes from last week’s side, so rather than a game, this was more a meet and greet for the players.'

'With all the changes, it perhaps isn’t surprising the Eagles struggled and Jack Darling, on his return to the side, had just six disposals and had trouble injecting himself into the game.'

 

[LegendLewis]

cranky yesterday but this brightened me up a bit...

 

[Jiska]

Why'd the kids give you the nickname Templeton on the back of that movie TempletonTheRat ?
