Discussion 2024 Round 8: Teams & In Game Discussion

[7/11]

Heeney gives away 50m free, -3. Then gives away a htb free. Score doesn’t move (in fact scaled up one just after). Righto.

4/458
Played: I Rankine, Z Butters, S Walsh (VC) and N Daicos
Yet to play:
Saturday: I Heeney, M Roberts, B Grundy, T Green, J Steele, D Wilson, C Comben, H Sheezel, M Gawn (C), T Stewart, H Reid and N Martin
Sunday: N Fyfe, H Young, M Bontempelli, S Darcy, S Clohesy and T Miller

Daicos great and Walsh ok but would have liked to have seen him get to 110 after starting the last quarter in the nineties. Alternatives last round were Dawson or Flanders, so will be interesting to see how they and Walsh fare over the next few rounds.

Currently have decided to hold Grundy rather than trading to Dunkley which in turn means not banking the 74 from Sweet. Graham/Wilson will be played at M8 this round and will leave the Grundy/Sweet decision until next round but unfortunately the scheduling of their matches will not be helpful.

Second trade this round is currently used for Dempsey to one of Rogers/Simpson/Hardeman (to move Graham onfield). Have considered Roberts to Moore due to possible weather conditions but will likely hold off and reassess the likes of Roberts/Thomas next round.

8/763
Played: I Rankine, Z Butters, S Walsh (VC), N Daicos, I Heeney, M Roberts, B Grundy and T Green
Yet to play:
Saturday: J Steele, D Wilson, C Comben, H Sheezel, M Gawn (C), T Stewart, H Reid and N Martin
Sunday: N Fyfe, H Young, M Bontempelli, S Darcy, S Clohesy and T Miller

Should have backed myself in with the Roberts to Moore move. No worries as I can trade him to a mid premium next round. Jones to be prioritised over Hardeman as a Dempsey replacement (so far) which means Wilson will likely cover Green in the event he misses rather than Graham, as one of Graham/Clohesy is stuck at D7 unless I use dual position magic and move Comben to the def bench.

Rampey killing Roberts scoring, time to go

Way down on TOG today too. Normally around 85% but only 63% today. Imagine they were giving him a rest this week. Kicking was terrible today as well. Annoyed as I was going to trade him to McKercher this week but backed out of it.

 

[Miller is a Steele]

I think with the Green injury I’ll reluctantly hold Steele and hope for a turn around. If trades allow down the stretch I’ll luxury upgrade him but I don’t want to use 2 trades sideways premiums when I could be focusing on upgrading. If Green has to go so be it, but trading both seems wasteful.

In a similar situation. Could reverse a Steele > Bont trade. I just think the Green injury isn’t too serious (on gut feel and the way it was handled) and it doesn’t change my theory that I’ll be trading Steele at some point, so might as well trade now.

I take it back. I’m reversing the Steele to Bont trade and keeping my last boost.

 

[xanderdom]

Grundy since I traded him out at his Rd5 bye: 93, 158, 83, 145 (+$55.3k)
Jackson since I moved him to R2 from Rd5: 72, 90, 76, ?? (-$97.1k)

Steele still has heavy strapping on that left leg…..

Grundy amazing. Roberts well unders but to be expected in a wet game. Just glad he beat his BE.

Steele and Wilson onfield in this one. H.Garcia with the E but won’t be taking his score as no loop player. Got rid of NWM this round so I’ll be nervously watching his output today.

A quiet one for me with just Heeney in that one. Benched Roberts.

Got a few in play for the next one. VC Sheezel, Powell & Steele with E's on Wilson & Garcia.

Good, means he has something helping him to hold my round together!

 

[Ben's Beasts]

With the Green and Rozee carnage, a Powell ton would go down nicely today.

 

[Shannon]

Powell in the middle to start 👏

 

[Under The Dome]

Big game this one.

Hoping Bonner can replicate or better his 129 and Wilson a ton that both did in the preseason. Defender rookies to spike vs the Saints would be great aswell.

Sheezel, Powell, Steele(VC), Bonner, McKercher, Comben(E) and Wilson(E)

Took an uncontested mark

Didn’t get one last 2 weeks 😉
