He was 130 at FT and I expected him to scale up to close to 140 given his impact in the last. 128 is ridiculous
Rolling the dice and sticking the C on Zorko today.
Danger just didn't quite get there for me and i'm not sold on Martin against the Hawks.

Take Maxy. Looks like one of those weeks where anything over 120 is a good captain score.
Maybe a separate thread should be started but has anyone else been paying attention to the Russian doping issue? I know it has been in the news for some time but the WADA Report by McLaren makes fascinating reading:
https://www.wada-ama.org/en/resourc...-investigations-report-into-sochi-allegations
The main witness is a Grigory Rodchenko who was head of the WADA authorised anti-doping lab in Moscow.
If his evidence is accepted the avoidance/circumvention of +ve drug tests was state-organised - the Russian minister for sport and the Russian secret service, the FSB, were involved.
For me, the most fascinating part is his description of how the Russians managed to swap out tainted samples for clean samples at Sochi. An FSB agent would go into the drug testing centre at night posing as a "sewer engineer". He would retrieve the Russian samples and pass them through a hole in the wall to a confederate outside. The confederate would take the samples to a near-bye lab especially prepared for the purpose. At the lab the anti-tamper seal on the bottles would be removed, the tainted samples replaced with clean ones and the anti-tamper seal replaced. The now-clean samples would then be returned through the hole in the wall to the FSB agent who would replace the bottles in their original position.
Two different takes on it:

And the AFL player complain about conditions, have a look at this.
2401. Danger as a captain but seems a slightly better than average score. How the fuck Rance scored 99 I'll never know but I'll take it!
Third qtr alone... I was driving and listened to that 30 mins and reckon he had 4 or 5 intercept marks in that time. Was pissing me off!!
Wow. Yeah ok I don't get it either. Considering I lost 2 matches by under 30 points and both opponents had him...
2455 so pretty happy. Should have been 2518 but stuffed up the Collins loophole and I had the C on Rocky but had to switch it to Danger as all my non players played before the Cats game and couldn't risk Danger going big and not being able to take his score.
Can't complain as I will finish 2 games clear in my cash league.

2405 for me with Danger as C. Brought in Merrett and N Riewoldt this week so pretty pleased. Up 300 odd spots to 2400ish. Highest rank of the year so pretty chuffed.
4 Trades left should i be considering upgrading/sideway trading this week.
weak players i have are p cripps, rich and greene.
Aiming for a league win.
I also have hall, anyone heard anything about him?
