Week 1 Melbourne: Phong hit 52, Weasels took the turtles
The MCG from above. Phong treated it like a home game. Shough treated it like a bye.

Melbourne Cricket Ground, 49ers 27, Rams 7. This room is head-to-head, half-PPR, one superflex. Two NFL games are in. Six matchups now have real numbers, and Sunday still gets a vote.

Week 1 scoreboard (live, not final)

The vs. lines count here. Scorers from Seattle and Melbourne are in the same line. First number is live. Parentheses are the projection.

  1. Sunday Best Phong 52.80 (134.75) over Lathrop Raptors 0.52 (117.75) — Jaxon Smith-Njigba 22.20, Mike Evans 13.90 (TD, 49 yards, six catches), Christian McCaffrey 11.30 (68 rush, five catches, 20 receiving), Blake Corum 5.40. Phong stacked a Seahawk and three Melbourne names and currently owns the loudest total in the league. Lathrop is still Sam Darnold 0.52 and a hip. Superflex asked for a quarterback. Phong brought a buffet.
  2. Scrublys Scrapyard 37.00 (153.56) over Byrobowl || 7.30 (119.15) — Kyren Williams 14.00 (rush TD, 41 rush, 24 receiving), Eddy Pineiro 10.00, Seahawks D 13.00. AJ Barner 2.30 still on the bench. Byrobowl got Matthew Stafford 5.10 (155 yards, one pick) and George Kittle 2.20. Hunter Henry 4.10 remains a bench sit from Seattle. Scrapyard is running. Byrobowl is waiting on Dak.
  3. Baldy 31.10 (136.73) over Shough Me the Money 0.00 (136.92) — Deebo Samuel 15.00 (TD, 48 yards, six catches), Rhamondre Stevenson 12.00, A.J. Brown 4.10. Baldy started the 49er who scored. Shough still has nobody from the two games that have been played. Pretty projection. Empty board.
  4. Wheat Hill Weasels 22.10 (154.03) over Ninja Turtles 12.82 (129.56) — Brock Purdy 22.10: three passing TDs, 205 yards, 29 rush. Kaelon Black 7.50 sat on the bench and the Weasels still lead. Ninja Turtles are Drake Maye 12.82 in the superflex and Terrance Ferguson 0.00 on the pine. Maye is not a bad start. Purdy was the better Thursday.
  5. The Gamble 10.90 (129.51) over The Substation 7.00 (140.21) — Jadarian Price 6.80, Davante Adams 4.10 against Jason Myers 7.00. Son flipped dad’s kicker lead by starting Adams in the blowout. Twenty hundredths the other way after Seattle. Now The Gamble by 3.90. Still a small sample. Still the closest game on the board.
  6. Block Party Ray 9.90 (116.45) over RedPanda 3.00 (120.49) — Puka Nacua 9.90 (74 yards, five catches). RedPanda got Harrison Mevis 1.00 and Rams D 2.00; Romeo Doubs is still a starter at 0.00. Puka is a lead. A kicker and a defense from a 7-27 is a lineup, not a crime. It is also currently an L.

Five leads, no 0-0 left. Sunday is the adult table.

Wire

Block Party Ray still has the midnight running-back shopping trip (Brian Robinson, Dylan Sampson, Braelon Allen). None of that scored in Melbourne. Puka did. Ninja Turtles already swapped Charbonnet (PUP) for Mayer. Weasels added Kaelon Black, who just put 7.50 on the bench behind Purdy.

Love / hate

Love: Phong starting JSN, CMC, and Evans. That is how a featured game is supposed to look in this format.

Love: Baldy starting Deebo. Fifteen points, one lineup click.

Hate: Shough Me the Money with two NFL games complete and 0.00. The projection of 137 is a pep talk, not a score.

Hate: Byrobowl leaving Henry on the bench and starting Stafford into a 27-7. Not a character issue. The scoreboard noticed.

Call (this column can be wrong): Phong’s 52.80 holds a win even after Sunday, because 52 is a lot of gravy. Fade Shough’s 0.00 staying pretty. Someone on that roster has to play this weekend or Week 1 is homework without a punch card.

Awards, keep it at the table

Melbourne guest: Sunday Best Phong, 52.80.

Closest flip: Gamble over Substation, after a kicker lead lasted one night. Dad had Myers. Son had Adams and Price.

Quiet 22: Wheat Hill Weasels / Purdy, currently ahead of the turtles.

Format: Head-to-head, 0.5 PPR, one Q/W/R/T, INT −1, pick-six −2, missed kicks count. Twelve teams, three divisions (Silicon Valley, The Boardwalk, Down Under). Playoffs six teams, weeks 15-17. Commish Ninja Turtles, co-commish Shough Me the Money.

“Two NFL games in and Phong has a 52, Weasels have the turtles, and Shough still has a zero. NorCal Aussie Family FF. Pass the gravy. Sunday still votes.”
