All aboard the Roller-Yeoster. I know it will have its ups and downs and that's the risk. Didn't expect the ups and downs to be entirely inside one game though. 21 at half time to finish on 109 is ridiculous. He had a lot of intercepts in the last quarter but I thought he was scored pretty generously for the game he played.

Who else took the punt and got him in?

I did and quite happy to have him. He's much less up-and-down than he has been in the past and scores well when played in defence.
When he played on the wing in qtrs 2 and 3 he had 2 and 8 possies.
When he played mainly hbf in the 4th he scored 50+SC, which I thought was not totally undeserved. He had 13 possies - including at least 2 IMs and 2 x 50+m kicks to I50 which his fwds marked. Those usually score well.
His disposal efficiency was down last night but it is usually pretty good. Then again, everyone's disposal efficiency was down last night.
Macrae had 50SC in the last qtr too, off 12 possies.

It was popped back in and he was just sitting on the bench in the end.

Had a good start with the first 3 games (happy with Berry despite tapering off after half time) but from 4.45 onwards, it all went to crap. Pendles, Shaw, Selwood, Tuohy, Otten, Stewart and Hannan on field (gone next week). At least Danger ended up with a respectable captains score and Laird continued his AA form. Heading for sub 2000 after making some ground last week. Need Sydney to get smacked today and Higgins to be BOG!

Longmire is the new Lyon. Ditched Newman last week because he seemed to be on the outer and I needed to keep generating cash with playing rookies. And now this. Not only do I lose 100 points on field (Stewart is on field this week) but I lose 120k cash generation too. Such a frustrating game sometimes.

Sure is but luckily for me i left him on field in the hope he got a late call up.

Has anyone ever had a bigger score on the bench? How many have the C on him to get a VC score?

Had so much go wrong this year but finally a lucky break.
Didn't like emergency Stewarts score so was taking EVW on field.
Enter Late in Newman.....swap EVW for Newman and as old Rexy would say "thank your mother for the rabbits"
who hoo
