Weekly wrap: Round 19 studs & duds


<p>I think the Round 19 Team of the Week speaks volumes about just how crazy and chaotic this season has been&#8230;</p>



<p>Charlie Curnow VC?! Uhhh sure.</p>



<p>Not only that, but the person currently ranked #1 has Joe Daniher as an F7 loop; proving just how left field you really need to go in order to reap the benefits of what has been a frenzied 2023 AFL SuperCoach season to say the least.</p>



<p>Elite Dadds managed to jump up 490 spots to 3018<sup>th</sup> thanks to a score of 2610!</p>



<p>Rory Laird as an out was a daunting prospect to face, but Jaspa Fletcher’s calmness under some <em>immense</em> pressure over the last few weeks allowed me to rest somewhat easy as opposed to those rolling with Cooper Harvey off the bench.</p>

<p>George Hewett was HOT on my list when I wrote this article two weeks back, and after a 127 on the weekend, I’m putting him <em>firmly </em>in the ‘must have’ category.</p>



<p>Although, I’m out of trades, the amusement is wearing off, and all I look forward to during the week now is resting my head on the pillow and tuning into another riveting episode of The Bear, season 2.</p>



<p>Haven’t watched it? Watch it.</p>



<p>Don’t have Disney+? Buy it.</p>



<p>Have zero interest in cooking dramas? I DON’T CARE CHEF.</p>



<p>Anyway, this is a wrap up about Round 19 of the AFL SuperCoach season after all, so I will digress.</p>



<p>Let’s get into the wrap!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Essendon v Western Bulldogs</strong></h2>



<ul><li>With a three-round average of just 82 heading into this game, Jordan Ridley (138) owners were understandably at their wits end. It’ll be an anxious wait to see the full extent of the quad injury that left him iced up in the last quarter</li><li>Darcy Parish (109) and Zach Merrett (105) are about to go absolutely ballistic over the next month with games against West Coast and North Melbourne to come</li><li>Mason Redman (98) finally managed to make it through a game without copping any close attention</li></ul>

<ul><li>Willem Drew (121) notched up 16 tackles as a result of following Nick Daicos (99) for three quarters.
