good evening all, This week's TOTR was a real struggle... Only just cracked 3000 and was well over budget resulting in a fair bit of shuffling to get in under the $10m salary cap. To score 3043 you needed: Gibson - HAW - 130 Taylor H - GEE - 123 Reid - SYD - 122 Shaw - COL - 119 Gibbs - CAR - 118 Harbrow - GCS - 116 Smith - WCE - 107 Del Santo - STK - 348 (c) Hodge - HAW - 163 Pendlebury - COL - 160 Hartlett - PTA - 155 Thomas - COL - 146 Blair - COL - 125 McEvoy - STK - 142 Goldstein - KAN - 138 Franklin - HAW - 132 Gray - PTA - 125 Davis - COL - 124 O'Keefe - SYD - 121 Zaharakis - ESS - 110* Brown - BRI - 110 Steven - STK - 109 bench of $91,700 no-namers with $40,200 in the bank. You'll note the asterisk next to Zaharakis... Feel free to swap him for Monfries if you prefer. The original team came in at 3063 and $302,400 over budget! I was forced to substitute: DEF - Newman (RIC) 116 for Smith (WCE) 107 MID - Swan (COL) 132 for Blair (COL) 125 FWD - Cloke (COL) 113 for Steven (STK) 109 So, my sincere sympathies to Newman, Swan, Cloke, Monfries and North Melbourne supporters. Last week's TOTR dropped 1517 from 3170 to 1653 (mainly due to 5 donuts from players injured/bye). Special mentions to: McEvoy (STK): second consecutive and 6th overall... actually, if you exclude the Saints bye in R14, McEvoy has made the TOTR for 5 consecutive weeks! That's as good as Roughead! Gibbs, Pendlebury, O'Keefe: 5th overall Shaw, Hodge, Thomas, Goldstein, Franklin: 4th overall (some quality names there...) My team has 2 of this week's TOTR (Shaw and Franklin) whilst the winner of $1000 for the round (Dazza Granzza - 2576) had 8 players... 10 if you include Swan and Cloke! Meanwhile my iScent team failed to crack 2000! Thanks largely to failures from: Fisher Ablett Giansiracusa Me (I included Jack Watts in my team!) My stupidity in the selection of Watts cost me a victory (by a mere 11 points) against my arch rival in the iScent comp. I'm glad it goes for one more week so I get another crack at it. Make sure you get your team in! Good luck with your team and take care. The Silverback PS back to McEvoy and his 'five' consecutive weeks... hands up those who traded Sandi for McEvoy before R11!
Cheers Silverback Not a great week for me after polling 8 TOTRs last week i only have 2 this week. Gibbs & McEvoy with McEvoy Captain. That's 402 from those 2 players, which is around 17-19% of my team total of 2136 from just the 2 players. But including the players that you excluded due to salary cap breach, I would've had 4 adding Chris Newman & Dane Swan. That totals up to 650 points from the 4 players + captain from McEvoy, Gibbs, Swan, Newman. That's around 33-38% I think of my total team score evolving around just the 4 players! Thanks Silver!
Only 4 for me this week (Gibbs, Pendles, Hodge & Buddy), which no doubt explains my ordinary score. Hard to believe you lost the iScent Silverback??. This arch rival of yours must be some sort of Genius, maybe they've been reading up on the TS site
2 players, yes, that's right, ONLY 2 players! Lance Franklin & Dane Swan!!! But I think you should mention Brendon Goddard, scored more than Ashley Smith, i know you couldn't fit in because of the salary cap but should get a mention. In that case, i have 3. Even though you did go Newman>>Smith i can see how that works out because Newman scored more than Goddard but Goddard is more expensive yeah yeah i get the flow, but you could say that Goddard could've made it if it wasn't for the salary breaches...but then again he wouldn't of had the opportunity because Newman is back in....I'm confusing myself! Don't worry about this, LOL!
@Silverback Just the 43 players this week. They were Shaw, Franklin & JBrown, if you add in the Newman/Goddard/Smith situation like Soda mentioned above, then make that 5 with Newman & Goddard. Using Sainter tactics on rough percentage & total score then I'll have a total of 585 from the 5 which makes up between 51-54% of my total score. using Heavy's post I had an "ordinary" score. @Soda Interesting with Goddard, how about Embley? Scored 126 and would be in if it wasn't for the slary cap breach, but then Swan would make the cut. With Embley I'd have 711 from 6, making up probably about 62-67% in my best guess of my team total between 7 players. WOW!
Hey DJ! im loving your mixing - super tight as always! any chance you been keeping track of the players opponents when they've made TOTR?
We'll keep the comp running mate- cause hey, it's fun to try and beat the weekly best. Even though it'll be without the prizes.

It's definitely a great comp! would iScent not sign up for the remaining rounds? Surely they have some excess stock they need to get rid of.
Hi Silverback, I'm stoked I won the round in the iScent competition (especially after coming 2nd the week before), but how do I go about claiming my prize?! Oh yeah, which fragrances are left? Cheers - kakarot
Yeah I only got 2 in the TOTR but 5th in the iScent. I smell like an onion so I need some fragrance real bad.
