Finished with 1999. Would love to have had 1 more point but it looks like it's an ok score in the scheme of things. Big scores in today's game. C on Gaz like the good ol' days! More please!!


Thought that would be a good score but a little below average (2121) in the end, scored 1888 myself, just not my year I guess, sitting 12k.

1798 for me. Not great, but still good enough to go up slightly in the rankings. Must have been some low scores around the place..

Yeah I've seen a whole lot of low 1700s around. I got 1916 which moved me up another 4000 spots, finally inside the top 10k at 8400. Halved my ranking over the last 2 weeks. One more week to go...

1977 which was pretty decent. Cut my ranking from 25K 5 weeks ago to 3358. It's been a couple of good bye rounds for me, but I am dreading next week.

No more talk of tagging defenders in the podcast please :p

Nice one. I was outside the top 20000 5weeks ago. Now 5640. Hoping to keep the trend going. Should have 21 playing next week so fingers crossed. Great work to all those in the top ranked leagues. Jealous!!

seems the wooden spooners elect decided to almost turn up, 1899. Still struggling outside 50k though. Some poor decisions on my behalf are reflected in my overall position.

1909 for me this week. Jumped a couple 100 places back into the 700's overall. Big week this upcoming round.

By the way, not sure if people followed the Sunday game. Hall scored 71 in the end, but he was on 38 when I checked the scores early in the 4th quarter. Went through the mid a bit more in the last and got a lot of easy mark-kick possessions, more across half-back and junked his score up a bit.

Seemed really low on confidence in the first half. Hopefully the last quarter is a sign of things to come.

Just didn't get involved, seemed to just be hanging around the fringes waiting for cheap ball which he got in the last quarter. 5 contested possessions only from his 20 touches. Only 1 clearance. DE was 70% but when 75% of his touches are uncontested that's not fantastic, he did turn it over a few times in the last quarter under no pressure to targets he should have hit.

As you say, maybe it was just building confidence. I'd be worried it was more than that and he just junked it up when the game opened up a bit in the last. He'd want to get a bit more in the action this week or he might find himself back in the NEAFL again.

People are quick to jump on him as an outside player just trying to get cheap ball but that's what he's being asked to do at least in the first he was out on a wing just not being used, they clearly want him to be the distributer on the outside he's not being allowed to win his own ball and we saw he could do that last year.

Been tossing up who to butcher, Greene or Hall. Greene is going. But his bye didn't help his cause.
GWS have a bullshit easy run home. He could sit on 100 from here. I don't have him so it's not a call I have to make. Worth thinking about though.
