Welcome to the post Byes .....a fresh new round of normality ....wait, what ?
There's no normality in the game ATM ....we as Coach's are being challenged every round to factor in all possibilities ......fixture moves, ground moves, and game time moves that impact looping options
This week I get to fill-in for Loose at HB .....that splendid Kenty that has pulled together some absolute cracker OP's ......I'll do my best, so be kind
This week we have the MND Challenge Round, organized by stevebbb, with 36 participants playing for the MND Badge
stevebbb , Jiska , A Bit Dusty , Obese Arachnid , Hai_Newman , chrstphrwnstn , Better Loosen Up , Loose at HB
Suns of Anarchy , Test Tickle , gutsroy , SC fish , Leftyitis , South of the Yarra , JuddgementDay , WaynesWorld19
jdeezy , Here2tellyouwhy , Cookiemon , balmainforever , Art Vandelay_ , clogwearer , MITS , toxic , Seymour Skinner
mochacinolatte , Kadog , Santoz , Hava Alle , Spanish Sahara , MacStradbroke , Megabattimus , Beardown1023 , BOMBERBLITZ , No eye deer , CROW in BALI
They're a motley crew, but fantastic contributors to a great cause
So howd we finish after the byes ? ......Round 14 for most was a cataclysmic event, but most were in the same boat (SS Titanic) .....not good being stuck in 3rd Class when you hit an iceberg ....and where were all the lifeboats (trades) ? Too few for the number of leaks in our sides, or just enough ?
First time I've come out of the Byes ranked higher than going in .....but I still had the normal two injured mid game players in R12, just when you need it the least, a best 18 round
Good Ol CARL .....that freakin club continues to be the bain of my SC life .....you say **** the Byes , I say **** Carlton !
Cripps 71 , Walsh 71, and couldn't outrun my cousin ......
I mean isn't Walsh supposed to have elite endurance .....FFS he yielded as meekly to his tag as I do to my Wife's "requests"
Then to top it off we have "Fumbles" Docherty , the guy take 3 attempts to pickup the ball ....I mean the press are coming out and saying he refuses to defend ...this is music to my ears, but if you're not going to defend at least pick up the ball & do something
CARL have the Crows this week .....if those 3 guys don't rebound I'm going to loose my shit !
In other news ....Duncan's & Grays injury couldn't have happened at a worse time, sorry owners, know how ya feeling ....popular trades; Hawkins , Dale, failed to launch
Reeves continues to sit on bench's, not playing, not appreciating ....and not looking to the cash cow he promised to complete upgrades ....the whispers remain though he's a strong chance to play this week .....yeah sure !
Congrats to those Coach's who chose Neale as your (C) ......We've all got a heap of those fishing stories, but I had the (VC) on Neale up until 5 min B4 the game ....weathers fine in Sydney, so revert back to Kelly, who strains a fetlock in Qtr1
Well at least it was better than the previous fine call by WW19 in choosing Cripps as a (C) who produced another 70 ......I can pick em, that's for sure
BRISBANE V GEELONG (Thursday)
Neale back in full beats mode .....will he get the O'Connor tag ....will you (VC) him or be wary of the tag
Lyons unaffected by Neale continues to pump out big 100's .....as does Stewart in a real purple patch ATM, and when will clubs start playing a defensive Fwd on these guys ?
We get another look at Danger .....his price continues to slide, making him juicy in a couple of weeks ....or have you gone the early
Crow?
RICHMOND v St KILDA (Friday)
OK Byes are finished .....wakey wakey Dusty, time to start doing some damage
Short, I hope you've been watching Stewart .....you're one of my break or make players in the final stretch ..... I have a whip too !
Marshall ....playing this week or not ?
1% ownership ...DPP status ...and estimated to be $450K after his next two rounds .....sounds yummy to me
Highmore ....what a time to pull out a big score, I mean he was dead to most Coache's .....now the sun is shining out his ****, can he repeat the effort with the new found confidence of his Coach ?
NORTH v GOLD COAST (Sat)
COLLINGWOOD v FREMANTLE (Sat)
Yes he's back ! ......that Man Bun SC Royaly ....but hangon, is it true Grundy has done a "Sampson" and had his locks lopped off ?
If he scores poorly will this be referenced as the reason ....there are precedences of this happening in SC
So what changes will we see from Robert Harvey .....more of the same, or will he put his imprint on this team ....what positional changes will he make .....I can see Pendles back in the guts and being the General
Can see COLL at home having a good win against Freo a side that hasn't travelled well, and still has a lot of injuries, in particular Nat
The contest of the round though is Grundy v Darcy, an upcoming Ruck star .....we'll get some insights for our teams in 2022 this weekend
ESSENDON v MELBOURNE (Sat)
This game I'm looking fwd to a lot .....both good teams to watch ....Gawn has to be a (VC) or (C) option ....although Clarrie makes this choice hard, as he's a great option
Was Ridley's return to form a one-off, or back to his seagulling best ? .......Parish is showing no signs, that his form is not "real"
Newcomb had his expected 2nd game downer ....would have been sore ....confident he'll bounce back this week
WEST COAST v BULLDOGS
What a great round of footy this week .....for the footy purists, some great matchups
How will the Bulldogs react to the WA trip and being in a 5 day hard lockdown ? .....WC are getting a lot of players back from injury, so this game will be a ripper
Macrae will be Macrae .....Bont is in rare form ....but Nic Nat is the in-form ruckman ATM and will be shoving it down his WC midfield 's throats
So really looking forward to this round .....trades are a rare commodity .....patience a virtue
Finally, again a big thankyou to all who donated to the MND Big Freeze .....and good luck to every Coach this week
