Discussion 2024 Round 7: Teams & In Game Discussion
- Thread starter KLo30
- Start date
Not having a good run this year and I realised today's event in terms of number of players played may be the reason why...
Came into the day sitting on 4/357 with 15 players plus Comben on the bench today!
Thankfully, they returned a very healthy score of 1,783 with Dawson (c) to leave me at 19/2,140 going into tomorrow.
Bounce back games from Laird & LDU along with great tons from Cameron, Rankine, Fyfe & McKercher helped to build the base of the score.
I'm trying to celebrate every 'little' wins I can from this season.

15/1537 Might change my team name to the Dempsey’s, starts off on fire but has now come to a grinding halt! Just to add salt to the wound I saw the news on Libba being a late out so thought I’d be clever and use my last boost up to get Macrae in for Sharp. Stewart and Reid back next week so hopefully a move back in the right direction.
16 / 1795 Gawn
Dawson, Walsh and Sweet all saluting on debut. Seems trading out Darcy over Dempsey was an error, although Q1 in the Cats game it looked like genius.
Completely stumped as to how to complete forward line. No Fyfe but surely you couldn’t go there if you didn’t start.
Could you????

The round from hell continues.
Keeping Sharp over Williams was a wrong 50/50 call. Needed bigger scores from Young/Clark/Jackson. New recruit Macrae disappointing as chose him over Dawson. Bont a fail VC so will need to decide between Miller Vs Heeney for C.
The positives, Darcy a lot better than I expected.
Serong & English with great scores.
Miller, Flanders, Clohesy, Roberts, Heeney & C left to play.
Looking like I'll be at least 200+ behind most ppl.

I nervously moved Sharp on, although, the Billings round 1 on the wing score made me hesitant. Time to go, unfortunately they choose not to kick to his wing. Good to see Serong back, something suggests we are still better off with the high calibre players than Dawson/Laird/Petracca (generally fades on knee) who still seem to be mixed on performance.

17/1888
Played: M Gawn (C), B Howes, N Daicos, N Martin, T Green, H Thomas, Z Butters, J Steele, C Comben, H Sheezel, I Rankine, O Dempsey, S Walsh (new recruit), H Young, N Fyfe, M Bontempelli and S Darcy (WB)
Yet to play: S Clohesy, T Miller, B Grundy, I Heeney and M Roberts
Missed out on 52 points by keeping Dempsey over Williams and grabbing Walsh over Dawson but very happy I didn’t go for Macrae. Dempsey and Cadman for Sweet and one of Simpson/Jones/Hardeman should be trades sorted for next round. Fyfe is life once again and still have not found myself in strife with the selection yet. Ideally will continue to leave the fwd line as is (Heeeny, Rankine, Fyfe, Reid, Comben and Darcy) with Flanders the only forward upgrade target under consideration. Currently ranked 2536, so looks like a great opportunity to sneak into the top 1000-1500, with Stewart ideally returning next round.

Pretty meh, but not bad considering no Stewart this week. Finally get a score from the big ranga I shelled out 700k for. Also happy with Daicos, feel he is about to go on a scoring tear.
Was a scandal how they scored Macrae last night. Missed a couple of tackles, barely rewarded for hitting blokes lace out.
Rozee stings, but you don’t trade injured premiums during upgrade season.
