Ha Ha!! I was being flippant as a non Heeney owner. Thanks for the explanation though :)

Have to wonder though, when Young had his clangers with a winning team, how much impact they had. Sure he didn't have CP's and 92% DE, but it seems Heeney has CD on a string...

H Young:
RD1= Kicking efficiency of 30% and CPR below 30%. Several teammates in the thirties, so the volume of tackles could not compensate for the aforementioned. Game high eleven clangers.

RD2= Kicking efficiency of 72.7% and CPR of 30.4%. Tackles down from 10 to 4 and disposals down from 24 to 21. Game high eight clangers (double the player with the second most) thus faced an uphill battle with a lack of volume.

RD3= Game high 32 disposals (18 by foot with 13 effective), game high 7 tackles, 8 marks (equal third for the match). Amongst the top three for clangers once again.

RD4= Kicking efficiency of 78.6% and CPR just below 40%. Still in the top three for clangers for the match but managed 9 tackles.

Like Bont, Heeney has the perfect game style for SC. A goal kicking contested marking midfielder that prefers to kick rather than handball and operates at a high efficiency. Tackles as well and boasts a nice contested possession rate. Recommend having a look at how he ranks amongst midfielders in all of those aforementioned categories.

17 / 1,813 Rozee

Thinking of changing my planned Sexton to Miller trade given a good round so far. I might play the BBL game and chase a cheaper low BE player now that Jordon & Grundy look definite trade outs for me next week. It will help make sure that both are upgrades whilst also keeping Naicos and Gawn in my sights the following two rounds.

1627/17

Green (C), Whitfield, Flanders, Marshall & D’Ambrosio to come.

Hard to get a read on how I’m tracking so far this round, thinking Green (C) needs to match the likes of Bont & Heeney for me to be posting a strong score.

Only major let down this round has been Bramble… I downgraded Daicos to Whitfield to help facilitate getting Bramble in, so as you can imagine I’m hoping Whitfield dominates and Daicos gets tagged out of the game today to make me feel a bit better about Bramble’s score :rolleyes::cautious:

Jordon & Grundy out next week for Lohman (possibly) and English!

I don't delve into the stats like yourself connoisseur and am really struggling to get a good read on Young. Do you think his stats stack up for a spot in our back lines?

For anyone who hasn't seen the Dogs press conference, it was made pretty clear by Bevo, that Macrae probably won't be a feature/walk up in the team this year, unless there are injuries. Didn't really explain why, but indicated he prefers younger guys with speed, and wants the same core midfield group playing. Doesn't want midfielders playing in non midfielder positions.

Like I already said, he would have known this. So trade him while there would have been some currency

17/1776 English C

Gambled Butters VC on English and... lost 2 points, because that's how we Supercoach :rolleyes:

Didn't gamble Butters VC on Heeney and cost myself 46 points

That;'s also how we Supercoach

16/1678
Miller, Flanders, Steele and Daicos
Mass, Cadman

Sanders on the bench. Darcy on the bench. You'd think that would be bad but so far, so good. I was never going to bench McKercher and Roberts and Reid matched or beat Sanders. Demspey matched Darcy. Let's see what Cadman does to me today.

I thought that was his defining strategy. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

SC says I'm 18/1903, but using my fingers and toes I'm actually 19/1903.
Can't see where that extra player comes from. o_O

Bramble disappointing, but the rest have played at or above expectation.

It comes from a non playing player whose club is yet to play. e.g. Sexton will have been covered for scoring purposes by a FWD emergency, however isn't counted for playing numbers because GCS play later today.
