The Fantasy Footy Bonanza
Posted: Mon May 23, 2011 10:42 amThis weekend was one of those rare rounds when huge scores were as common as a Tiger Woods infidelity claim.
Premiums loaded up and more importantly, fringe players also scored above average, to the rapturous joy of thousands of coaches.
It was a weekend so good, some may have thought the world had ended and we were all in heaven.
Many recorded their best ever scores, it was simply a phenomenal week.
Then there was me.
I was extremely happy with the progress of my team, I had a solid average, traded well and had a pretty handy squad on the park.
By Saturday night, I could barely contain my glee to see Tapscott scored 20 and Lower smashed Duigan's score out of the water.
Sunday was going to be a great day.
Wrong.
Enter Dane Swan (C), Heath Shaw, Shaun Higgins and Callan Ward.
All scored between 40 and 80 points below their average.
Blokes with spuddy rookies like Conca and Krakouer on the field (I had them both on the pine) shredded me.
A score of 2205 and a round ranking of 72,800 sent me over 4000 places down in the overall stakes.
I seriously feel like the kid who rocked up to school in uniform on casual day.
I know, I know, don't pick Higgins etc etc, but hell, even if he managed 60 or 70 I would have been happy.
F**k you Supercoach gods.
Anyone else have a crap week in the round of the Fantasy Footy Bonanza?
