Yeah that's not looking good.
Gabby & Thomas both pathetic as well. Rough game that one.

722 from 10. Goldrick Thomas and Grace Kelly sub 50 doesn't help.
I gather you upgraded your midfield instead?
Strom has been a relief to have.
I brought Aish Mc for the derby, but decided to spend remaining dollars and get Garner back instead. Hoping she goes 130+ after passing on McCarthy.
was deciding between upgrading G.Presp to someone more reliable (went with Hatchard in the end) or O'Dowd to Strom. Wasn't expecting 60+ point difference.
Ooh, Bowen goal one that Poppy Boltz will want to forget. Duped her into manning the market the wrong way, then just took off for goal.
Haven't heard the audio and whether the ump was yelling play on, but Boltz was still facing the wrong way so fell for it.

Rough round. Lot of 40's & 50's
Glad I finally traded Friswell out, even if it was to a cheap 30 point scoring rookie.

May have gone slightly too early on Toogood 
I couldn't afford her, but when she mentioned she was just happy to be out there taking another defender, I kind of felt like she's come back too early. She's not fit, but she's fit enough to play a role only...and that role is not to be the great player that she was last year. I doubt she'd be back to full fitness before the end of the season.May have gone slightly too early on Toogood

What happened to Randall? Trading her to Tooshit might actually be an upgrade 
Marinoff, Schliecher and Newman killing it
Randall collided with James in a marking contest. Their faces collided - Randall's chin with James' face. James had blood pouring out of her nose. Both went down for HIAs and weren't seen that quarter because it happened in minute of first quarter.What happened to Randall? Trading her to Tooshit might actually be an upgrade

Turned it on. Sounds like Randall is going to be fine
Hopefully. Was concerned about a fractured cheekbone. She was second to the contest and came from nowhere, but actually looked more like marking the ball than James. She is tough.

Another classic Ebony quarter with 15 touches lol

Pick 1...
1379 this week up to 140th from 182.
Pretty happy with the backline albeit Thomas & Goldrick shit the bed this week. Midfield alright even though Garner play didnt pay off this week & Rowbottom been ordinary. Need to upgrade EOD I think.
Forward line just seems so hit & miss. Went early on Toogood and lost 3 points (Randall out). Hodder, GOS, Toogood all poor. Not many options to go to here.

Gould (90) and Hore (102) saved my fwd line.
Garner, Riddell & Rowbottom all shit. Need more. More, more, more.
Defenders are all crap and everyone I'm chasing is killing it. (Save for Darcy who played crap, so might be able to finally get her in now)
1,400 & up from 352 to 268.
Unfortunately went Garner over McCarthy & $217k spare so can now only upgrade 1 defender this week instead of two.
Aisling outscored Garner also. Damn.

Ebony lost 5 so 10 as C. Someone mustn't have her or captained her around your rankEdit, lost 10pts,
1,390 and 1 rank place 268 to 269
200pts behind top 100, but 1,000pts behind first. Means it's tight in the 50-500 range.

Shocker here unsurprisingly, but I took a gamble on Gilroy at D4 and Berry at M5 which went rather nicely.
An absolute nightmare round of 1171 dropped me from 62 to 155. Worst score of the year. Other than Hore and Noffy, nobody on my team put up good scores and a lot of well below par scores (Dizzy, Thomas, Goldrick, Randall, Hodder). No idea what changes I'm going to make. Can't trade them all, unfortunately.

For those in the SCS v BF league:
Going to use three metrics this season so there will be no tie
- I have put TSO (Tso1967) into the BF side to even up the numbers (a slight oversight on my behalf)
Also a congrats to the three teams in the top 100 !!
