Round 4 saw the Donor team finally get back into a bit of form, scoring 2165 for the week. It was only enough to place us 49,434 for the round, but it bettered our average, so we're moving in the right direction.We're now ranked at 58,588 for the season, and on the leagues front we won all five! This puts us 6th, 5th, 3rd, 8th, and 12th in our leagues.



Our team for round four looked like this:
Backmen
Goddard 117
Dixon 103
Gibbs 95
Heppell 88
Pittard 79
Heath 60
Midfielders
Ablett 131
Pendlebury 105 (V)
Cotchin 106
Goodes 108
Wines 91
Dangerfield 120
Viney 9
Crouch 83
Rucks
Cox 96 (Captain 192)
Leuenberger 79
Forwards
Westoff 149
Kennedy 68
Franklin 116
Rockliff 95
Zorko 105
Neade 66
Bench
Stevenson 67 (E)
Terlich 62
O'Meara 100 (E)
Dwyer 65
Rowe 68 (E)
Currie 0
Macaffer 58
Karnezis 0 (E)



In the backline we had both of our bench players score more than Heath's 60, otherwise it was good selection. Swapping out Heath for Stevenson and his 67 would have made us an extra 7 points.



In the midfield we got stung, like nearly everyone else, with the Viney 9 points… Swapping him out for O'Meara and his 100 points would have given us an extra 91 points. We also went with the captains loophole, with Pendles as VC, but chose not to take his 105 points, thinking that Big Cox would carve up against an undermanned Blues ruck division.



Which brings me onto the rucks, and captain Coxy only scoring 96 points really hurt. Had have we stuck with the permacap himself, we would have gained an extra 35 points, however this wasn't our best option.



Westoff in the forward line top scored for the donors this week, with 149 points, meaning our optimal captain selection would have made an extra 53 points for us this week. We did have the right players on the bench though, and luckily didn't get stuck with loophole captain Macaffer and his 58 points!



So, all up in round 4 we missed out on a total of 151 potential points.



We made the two trades going into round 4, removing Roughead and Varcoe for Leuenberger and Westoff. Roughie got 110 and lost $13,700 while Varcoe didn't even play. Leuey got 79 and went up $41,200 in price, while Westoff got 149 and increased $72,200! On points earned and money made we were infront after both of those trades, so some success there.



Now join us over in the Donor forum to help shape the team for the Thursday start of round 5.
