A few absolutely rotten scores have ruined my weekend. 845 from 11 (captain hasn't played) with Frawley, Murphy, Monfries and captain Martin to come,  hopefully captain Dusty can destroy with a 150+ against the dees. Looking for 550 from those 4+1 players to drag my scores into the 130s, maybe 140s if Dusty really goes for it.

Obviously we're missing a fair few key players in Tuck, Treloar, Dixon and Shaw and a lot of fringe players such as Hardingham, Clarke and Hoskin-Elliot, but if we lose I'll make sure none of these players ever play again.

*=C played

Looks like this will be the second time this year our captain has been our lowest scorer. Cannot believe Birch got 30 against GWS...
Pyke and Prestia only ones doing decently for the second week in a row.
The midfield is looking shaky but at least we have people that can come in to cover the failures...Giles with his 4th score under 90 in a row it's time for him to take a rest I think.

Pyke may be in C discussions this week.

Trust the poor effort from Captain Brent Stanton will not cost me.  Forwards a little disappointing as well.

Reckon Cairo v Berlin is looking the match of the round at the moment. Berlin SHOULD win from here, but there remaining players are questionable....

Read my mind oz, I have 3 too many melbourne players if you ask me. Can easily fall to showers from here.



Stokes. Enough said. The only bad thing about him is that he may lose his forward status and become a midfielder, or he could become both  :D

[roo boys!]

Def: Nathan Grima (47), Matt Shaw (74), Michael Johnson (115) , Dan Nicholson
Mid: Scott Pendlebury (236), Andrew Swallow (81), Brock McLean, Jack Ziebell (109)
Ruc: Darren Jolly (103)
Fwd: Paddy Ryder (101), Jack Riewoldt, Dayne Zorko (124), Mitch Robinson
Int: Ben Cunnington (101), Clinton Jones

1091/10, Nicholson, McLean, JRoo, Robbo and Jones to come.

Some solid performances all around the ground, Grima the only real disappointment so far.

Yeah, but they play against Melbourne! lol

Right you are, now I feel like I should be coaching New Delhi  :-X

Joking of course Torp/FS!

Yeah I just saw on Thursday that Jones was in onto the extended bench and just assumed he'd be one of the 4 that made it. Apparently not!

On comes Jamie MacMillan's 76.

Backs: J. Harbrow (VC) (81), D. Myers (51), L. McPharlin (84), H. Grundy (79).
Mids: M. Priddis (C) (105 X 2 = 210), N. Jones, C. Wingard, K. Simpson.

Bench: D. Shiel (41), C. Smith (14).
Emerg: L. Ball (64), N. Lower (95), M. Williams (36).

588/8. Jones, Smith and Shiel big let downs with the subs :(. Sub affected scores for Shiel and Smith, missing out on Ball's and Lower's score. May be enough for Lower to leapfrog Smith into the team with his form! Hopefully can muster a decent score with most of my midfield/forwards still to come.

Home Advantage of 65 this week! Great consistent effort from the boys, which is about 85% full strength. On 1510 before scalings  :D
