Round 13 3/4 time report

3/4 time rank = 2884
Round rank 3140 with a score of 515 (c)

Should've gone with my gut and captained Cheese, but can't be too unhappy with Hynes score.

What's up with the updates from game 1. Seems like they still haven't come in yet?

I didn't realize there was a 3/4 time report...

Rank at start of the round: 3596
Halftime rank (9 played): 1312
3/4 time rank (11c played): 1283
6 on the field today. (Mahoney, Brailey, Ipap, Watson, Barnett & Moses)
Score 566, round rank 1246

Annoyingly, Fogarty wasn't even on my radar a week ago. Someone polled Hughes vs. Fogarty and I landed on Hughes being overpriced and Foggy should have similar output for less..

I also had my doubts regarding fog but the forum assured me he'll continue to get his kms haha.
Schuster being a late out last week forced my hand a bit. Interesting though I had enough to bring in DCE but thought no I need a round 13 player. DCE scored 81 and fog has scored 64 in two games and now DCE and Fog play the say amount of games. Bloody byes play with your head!

You wouldnt pay another $80k for Ramien?

Ramien's 2nd lowest score is higher than Aitken's highest score this season and averaging more than 20 more points per game, with the same number of tries.

Averillo another option for $100k more than Aitken, crushing it at Halfback (average 65 with 0 tries and just 1 try assist)

Ramien also on the list for consideration, but I think his scores are a touch unsustainable. Averaging 7.3 tbs with 3 games of 10 or more. 2020 averaged 2.6 per game with a high of 7 in one game. 2019 average of 5 per game with a high of 9. He is a career 40 odd scorer on a bit of a fantasy purple patch.

Wouldn't touch Averillo. Like Lachlan Lewis and Brandon Wakeham used to, is racking up fantasy points being the dominant kicker in a team that loses most weeks. Could easily be in reserve grade or actual centres as early as next week

FOG + Tanah Boyd = good
FOG + AT = bad

Sounds like Papy may still be a couple rounds away. Bellamy didn't want to put a date on it which makes me think he won't be back next round

Nah, doesn't sound like it, bellyache seemed quite genuine, he doesn't know when.

Anyone in with a shot at the monthly?

I'm well back after a poor round last week

If so, Hynes will likely be $800k+ after next round

Almost every time the camera showed the Storm coaching box Papy was rubbing his head and looking tired.

I don't think he's coming back anytime soon.

In all honesty I'm not sure why he travelled with the team - best thing for recovery is rest and time away from anything loud/stimulating.

They were showing the coaching box every time Storm fucked up though and Pap's reactions seemed in line with that. I'd probably be stressed being in the room with Bellamy at that point too

The guy currently in first had a cracker of a month, I don't think anyone is going to catch up with him for the monthly

Probably had to leave Melbourne with the team so wasn't affected by COVID lockdown

Looks like Cheesy brought in BSmith and Peachey

he made 3 trades 4 trades
OUT: Haas, Schuster, Walker & Simpkin
IN: BSmith, Peachey, BHunt & Kelly

Happy with my rd 13 so far! Up to 39th overall (from 565). 700 points so far, with Brailey, Ipap, Watson and Mahoney to come

Yeah, sounds like getting Hynes this week wasn't a total dud move.

Cappy TPJ looking OK at this point. Want me 6 extra points though.
