As mentioned, last week the team scored 2,308 points, which gave us a weekly ranking of 11,090. Our aggregate is now 47,609 and our overall ranking is 6,660. We should keep ourselves firmly in the top 10,000 come the end of this weekend, even with some Freo tanking and a potential change to the 9th and 10th picks in next years' draft (complete BS that it won't effect anything). I hope they get pasted this week, and then fall out in straight sets!
The team breakdown is as follows:
Defence
B Smith 126
K Kolodjashnij 110
N Malceski 108
H Shaw 106
B Houli 78
J Gibson 68
Bench of B Maynard 64 and L Hodge wasting away.
Generally a great defensive effort from the side, with perennial bench-boys Smith and Eski both topping the ton, along with young Kolo and the retiring Cheater. The disappointments were Houli, Gibson, and that Hodge bloke... No missed points down back this week.
Midfield
S Pendlebury 155
A Treloar 136
P Dangerfield 128
J Kennedy 117 (Captain, 234)
C Ward 84
M Priddis 83
H Bennell 70
J Selwood 51
Bench of N O'Brien 69, J Steele 0, and J Nelson 0.
There's some excellent scores in there, with Pendles, new recruit (anf Fyfe replacement) Treloar, and Danger all getting well above 120 points, while JPK was near-abouts with 117 and unfortunately a little short of our captaincy desires. From there it all came crashing down, with Ward and Priddis only just breaking 80, while Druggy and Ducky both failed miserably. On the bench, O'Brien outscored Joel, meaning we missed a potential 18 points. There was also the captaincy loss, of 38 potential points.
Rucks
T Goldstein 102 (VC)
N Naitanui 75
M Cox still on the bench with 0.
A rather bad week in the rucks this week, but what can you do. Seeing as, I believe, we have the most common ruck combo, we didn't really lose out by too much on the pack.
Forwards
M Bontempelli 153
L Dahlhaus 114
M Gawn 106
R Gray 87
D Swan 83
D Martin 51
Bench of R Knight 61 and J McGrath 0.
A huge score from the Bont, followed by his doggies team-mate, goes to show just how much our forwardline relied on the boys from the west this week. Gawn was our only other forward to top the ton, while season stars Gray and Swan were below average. Dustbin was particularly terrible! He even got outscored by Knight on the bench, by 10 points.
Total potential missed points this week were 66. That's more than two Ducky's or Dustbin's on the field. Què Sera, Sera.
Trades
There'll be a more detailed trades analysis next week, but the snapshot from round 22 is that we dropped Fyfe for Treloar - excellent call TTH - and benefitted with 136 points! There's now no trades left, which is why we're stuck with Hodge. We were lucky though in the sense that we could drop Fyfe.
Looking Forward to Round 23
The last week of the SuperCoach season is upon us. As you can see, no Freo players to worry about. Lets hope we can go rocketing up the rankings!
Come and join us in the Donors Forum to pick the captain. One last chance to <s>screw this up</s> get this right.
