My team chalked up a pretty handy 2059 - which pushed me into the top 10,000 overall if you don’t mind - while Robbie could only manage 1982, an improvement on his previous weeks but still not enough to get him over the line.
Amazingly, Robbie finally decided to cook for me on a Monday night as part of our bet (being whoever scores less that week has to cook). He whipped up his one and only dish - butter chicken. He’s not much of a cook, but I will give it to him, he can cook a fine butter chicken.
Just the one change for Team Boak this week, trading out Krak for Heath Grundy from Sydney. With Krak’s late withdrawal today, I thought I’d bring in a bloke who’s been in red hot form averaging more than 90 and skyrocketing in value. The Swans have been up and about recently and I think Grundy’s got plenty more scores in him.
This week is all about the backs if you’re looking to downgrade. You’ve got three cheap options who should all make you a bit of cash. The three options are:
Matthew Dea from Richmond: Has a breakeven of -35 and should get plenty of games in the young Richmond side.
Phil Davis from Adelaide: A high draft pick from 2008 who has scored well in his first two games. With Bock and Stevens back, his job security is a bit of a concern, but he’s got an appealing breakeven of -70.
Ashton Hams from West Coast: Not only does he have one of the best names in the game, but he’s also just $77,800. I seriously considered him for a downgrade of Josh Hunt, but decided to save my trades. As a mature-age rookie at 23 years old, if you’ve got to choose one, he’s the man I think.
And a reminder if you haven’t seen the late news, Gary Ablett is out with hamstring tightness. It’s made me re-think my captain strategy and I’m going to have to do a bit of work now deciding who gets the C next to their name! Perhaps the rookie Michael Barlow will get the call up…
