I'm a Ryan owner but these kick out points are ridiculous. +4 for every short kick to the pocket.
SC is supposed to try and represent the most important/best player on the ground. Unfortunately with the kick-in rule, it skews this, if the team you are against kicks at goal poorly. Not just Ryan that benefits from this. Prob needs to be changed a little, as the fact a player can score 100 from just kick-ins just doesn't seem right.

100%. Also believe HTA needs a look. Makes no sense when you see two ruckman at the top of each team list. How can two HTA score more than a goal. But CD need to tell us if they tinker with the scoring.

Definitely agree with the comments around kick ins, I think CD mentioned something in an interview this week about creating a new stat category for them which SC could then choose to score different if they wish.
Disagree about HTA but what I think is probably more the issue hit outs to disadvantage and negative points for those.

Clean win out of the centre twice could lead to an easy mark for a forward and two goals. If a forward takes a mark and goals, is that 10 points if uncontested and 12 points if contested?

A ruck could be getting smashed by his opponent ruckman but still score over a 100 because of HTA, to me that is wrong when looking at who influenced the most in winning a game of football but just my opinion.

But a HTA is a hit out that leads directly to a clearance, so unlikely he gets to 100 if he’s getting smashed by the other ruckman? Yes you can have a scenario where both are getting HTA.. but if a player gets to 100 primarily from HTA then he isn’t getting smashed by his opponent.

Jackson not really taking advantage of the lack of Darcy at the moment. Was hoping he’d find his way to 90+ but had a couple of stints on the bench to keep him from going hard.

48% of coaches with Fyfe, 93% on the field.

Most obvious solution would involve Fyfe to Garcia or swapping out Rogers, Fyfe to mids and Garcia in.

Will be interesting to see the short term impact. Fyfe on 8 points, on the bench, 7mins to go.
