Round 7 - 2018 Wrap
1 game decided by 18 points, 2 more by less than 40. And two by over 100. Frosty stops a run of 5 Levers top scores with a 1388. The Pants *putting* in the worst of the round.
PULLING ALL THE LEVERS
Lever Wanting More (1305) DEF KingMoistPant (1127)
After losing another 2 fwds, Tony made the great calls to bring in Parish (55) and S.Gray (39) woo! Thankfully that was offset by the fact no one from the Gold Coast went anywhere near league no.1 scorer Jack Macrae (189). Curnow (136) continuing his good run of form, 12th highest ave. and Max (127) 2nd highest ave. Stephen Spaghettio (64), Zerrett (72) need to stop eating all the pasta. TV a game clear on top of the ladder....Simon has a ruckman, Sinclair (115) and O'Meara (106) but no one else cracked the tonne....Daniher (38), Kennedy (65), Talia (66), Burgoyne (71) all no good. An injurred Pendles (63) didnt help ....maybe Simon is just waiting for the champion Hanners to come back and save him. and also maybe Sloane and Lynch and a healthy Ryder. Falling to 2nd last on the ladder.
Always chew before you swallow.
I had all of this material planned for a golf wrap....but i think ill wait until our mate recovers. Tough break buddy! what doesnt kill you makes you stronger xx
TOO MANY WINES, NOT ENOUGH GIANTS
Wines For Swallow? (1230) DEF MoistWeatherBunns (1191)
Its unusual that JayneY would struggle to swallow ....wine, also unusual to see Steves team winning three games and above Mike, Simon and Dec in 7th but hey, what a wonderful world. Steve continues to ride the form of Sir Nathaniel Fyfe (142) who played in the ruck, on the wing, fwd and obviously on the ball. Oliver (124) who unfortunately doesnt get to play StKilda every week and West Coast best full forward Darling Jack (132). Maybe picking 6 Richmond players wasnt a horrible idea for Steve...JayneYs team who has gone against her previous years selection policies and not picked any GWS players is treading water in 2nd place but has 3 losses in the past 5 rounds. A late out zero from Bont and the lack of Acres hurt with both averaging over 100. TMitch (127), Lamb-bert (120), The Hunter (114) and StKilda 'Jack the First' (101) still solid. StKilda 'Jack the 57th' Billings (57) reflective of his scoring of late. Her boy Ollie was as cold as a crisp savvy B with 76.
ITS ALL ABOUT THE J.POINTS
Frostbites (1388) DEF Moistchamp2018 (1262)
Frosty got the better of Kate...with his J names being way better than hers....For Frosty: J.Westhoff (85), J.Sicily (145), J.Witts (114), J.Martin (91) versus Kates: J.Polec (79), J.Gunston (86), J.Howe (92), J.Frawley (71), J.Geary (63), J.Cameron (0), J.Petracca (40). Cumulative J.Points put Frosty in the lead...so much so he didnt need Zorko's (164) from the bench....Neale (123), Gray (106) and Hurn (104) got him over the line. Kate will probably be ruing her decision to pick Parker at no.20 with his 5th sub 100 in row. Selwood (135), Hulk Hogan (130) and Big Lion Stef (114) not in that category, still scoring well. Frosty with 6 players averaging over 100 taking him into 3rd just above Kate in 4th.
FULL BEAMS
Moistly Fine (1309) DEF More Than A Tip (1275)
Mike was telling me over a quiet beer on Sunday afternoon after Angus (100) had his 12th touch of the first quarter that he was sure glad he left him on the bench. I jokingly said that wasnt his worst decision of the weekend. That statement proved to be correct when DeGoey (123) some hours later slotted his 5th and Mike rued the missed digits. Joyfully as he sat refreshing his pages as Beams (108) knocked out a welcome tonne. Bacardi Kennedy (151), Dunstan (114), Sandi (144), McLean (146) all going huge enough to cover SoreLeg Shuey (12) and Oneleg Pittard (31). For Dan it was the usual suspects Laird (120), Higgins (123) and Treloar (110) along with Phillips (131) and Kelly (115) WHO? WHAT? the fuck.....MUndies (53), deBoring (54), Tom DoDo (68), Wilson (68) and Louise Savage (72) struggling. Dan still WAYYYYYYYYY above Mike on the ladder. Dan 6th, Mike 8th.
STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM NOW WE'RE HERE
WaterOffADec'sBack (1235) DEF Sloppy's Seconds (1217)
Dec has managed to shake some water off that back of his and dry himself into the winners circle once again. He started from the bottom this round.... Turns out getting your best mids back kinda helps with Crouch (122) and Duncan (134) very scorey. Late donuts from Henderson made Duck quack a little getting Viney or Murph back next week will help. Fwds Dollhouse (98) Brown (97) Caddy (88) and Boaky Doaky (95) helped fk loads too. Unfortunately for Sloppy her team have lost their tan a little bit since returning from the GC2018 Games. Luke Brown (59) was welcomed into the team and should find his way right the fk back out again. Simmo (97), Cripps (94), Ross (107) Robinson (100) scoring well. Rough (112) with 3 goals, Reg Grundy (110) and Sidey (94) all wear stripey jumpers and score well. Hodge (77) used to do both....Fisher (55) and Dixon (59) struggling to score week in and out. Maybe just play them once a month?
