Gonna find my baby gonna hold her tight, gonna get some Friday Night Delight… Last night was like watching USA Dream Team of 1992 play against some Division 3 rejects without arms. Nevertheless, DT points where everywhere. Geelong equalled the record of most possies in a game with 469, what? Couldn’t find one more handball boys? Not one Geelong player had single figure disposals, and 6 players had 30+, and it was in the wet. SHIT! 60% of coaches last night used their captains in Corey (122) and Bartel (99) and should be reasonably happy with their return. But it was who I rate as the best backman in the competition who stole the points. Andrew Mackie had 136, and with his lowest score of 85 in his last 8 at an average of 102, he is worthy of the #1 spot. He averages 95 this year and is an absolute jet! 7 Geelong players last night managed to break the 100pt mark as they cruised to a 116 win! On the other side of the fence, you gotta feel for Brad Green who dug deep again to knock up 112 and trade bait Jeff White was a late inclusion for his pissy 61pts. Some of the young guns of the competition cashed in too. Many coaches would be happy with Vallenti’s 71 and Harry Taylor’s 77. All I can say is what Tom Will’s said on the DT Talk ad this week on episode 19, “thank fuck for dream team” cause without this stat chasing game we love, last night would have been torture.

Thanks very much Calvin. Now i’ve Afternoon Delight stuck in my head and i’ve got a feeling it’ll be with me for the weekend. Nice one
I am so glad I picked up Mackie when Jake King started sucking the place dry. He has been one of my best performers lately and a lock for next years RA team. Only two guys I was disappointed in were S Johnson and Gamble. I have to use Gamble now because of two retards who shall remain nameless…..namely HEATER AND ARSECLOWN DIDAK!
But all in all a solid night.
Finals. 2nd v 3rd. So far - Me: Bartel captain + Valenti. Him: Corey captain.
He has Shaw and Milburn in his 22, but I have some duds on the ground covering for Chappy etc. If all remaining players hit their average, I’ll win by 20. Strap yourself in!
(yes I calculated it, and yes it IS that important.)
spewin about mackie. had him start of the year, then he got injured for 4 weeks so had to get rid of him.
ill at least take pride in the fact i identifyed him and called it from the start, retarded trade i know
haha. the guy im playing has gablett on the pine, and not even as an emergency. cheeeers
glad i picked up mackie too. he’s a machine!
geelong would have popped 2000 as a dt team lol. thats fkn huge
stevie j fucked me up and opponent had mackie captain in SC…WTF mackie got 161 in SC and wit him captain gets 322…il hav 2 play nxt week now
518 from 5…solid start
corey (C), gablett, wheatley and SJ
it really could have been something special if stevie J performed…
Mackie you legend… the week I swap you for Heath Shaw you get me 136… you beauty!
Dan.
Last night was actually pretty disappointing for me, bartel captain was kinda crap since he was on like 50 at quarter time and only got 10 for the last quarter (from a goal) and then there was steve j…and valenti, so an average start for this week.
SJ and Valenti so crap night for me.
SJ was annoying, but Maric did well covering for Chapman so I was happy with that. Mackie was gold too, 89 at half time haha!
jut heard that akermanis and hudson could b late withdrawls 4 their game against NM 2moz
matt whelan you legend`110
People can not complain about Valenti’s 77 or a captains score of 99 (bartel) being too greedy here boys. 77 is great from Valenti any day of the week a captain who scores 100 is a good captain!
