Round 10: Teams & In Game Discussions

[Darkie]

1782/17+c

Pendles, swan, Oxley, Lumumba, Vandenberg to come....

That's if I take Fyfe as skipper BUT should I roll the dice, a 145 from Pendles would get me a win against Creeker in the champions league...who now knows me as Bunny coz I just can't seem to beat him no matter how well my troops do.

Roll the dice on Pendles.

Swan may also be worth a shot as captain, especially if you need a 145 to win. I have Fyfe's 116 as VC and am choosing Swan over Pendles (and Fyfe) given that it's Melbourne and the Queen's Birthday game. Pendles is the opposite of a FTB if I recall correctly, and has been carrying a niggle from what I've seen.

 

[The Experiment]

Saints Hawks game ruined what could've been an okay round with Burgoyne, Lewis and Newnes combining for 164 points

1,766/19 (Gray) with Swan, McDonald and VBerg to come....fingers crossed I get to 2,000

 

[Zimmer]

1816 - 19 & C. Captain choice (Gray) and a few underperforming premos (JPK, Gibson et al.) have killed what was looking like a pretty good score.
Oh well, that's the game.

Pendles, Swan and Hogan today.

Few whispers going round that Ben Kennedy will be a late in today. We know pendles and oxley may be a bit sore....

Tipical collingwood danger game, we'll play pendles I reckon even if a bit sore. Can always rest him up faward if were in controle.

Not ideal if this is the case, I no longer have Oxley but do have CEY to cover for Pendles.

The way this round is progressing, he'll be in for Swan who I don't have any cover for in the forward line!

 

[doc ron]

I had to go early with my trades this week to get yeo in for the ox therefore leaving myself open to a donut if pendles swan or hogan dont play.

I was surprised Kennedy wasn't in the side. Been dominating in the last month in the VFL. If he comes in surely he is the sub.

Oxley out = donut. Pendles out = Dumont's 72. Think I'd rather Oxley to play if I had to choose. In a draft league I have a 110 emg if Pendles doesn't play.

A mate reckons it might be witts. Will soon find out...might turn out to be all rumours

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Newnes 53 (bring back Weller, please!!!!)
JPK 62 (looks totally unmotivated against "easy opposition"!)

Ouch Row, stiff mate.

I was at the ground yesterday for the Hawks vs. Saints, and from what I observed (I had my eye always peeled for Newnes) he was burnt by teammates so many times. He would make leads of 150m+ and push into space for an easy kick over the top to him but they refused to kick it to him. And the times that he did get the pill it was when he was under pressure in the DEF 50, with no option other than to bang the pill as far and as long as possible. Hence his horrible DE, which when looking at the stats is higher than I would've expected.

You've summed JPK perfectly there as well...

Pendles posted a thing on his official FB account this morning saying he was pumped for the game and to get down and support the big freeze.
So hopefully that indicates that he is right to go lol.

 

[Johnsy44]

[Bobbie]

Witts out hopefully means more points for Grundy!

 

[Philzsay]

Lare change Witts out Kennedy in. Melb unchanged.

Give your mate some rep points on my behalf.

Sorry Bobbie but i need Pendles + 27 Points to outscore him

 

[Bobbie]

I bet Oxley scores well because I traded him out!!

 

[Tamuhawk]

I bet Oxley scores well because I traded him out!!

Hope so or need him to score at least 8 to beat my mate who's ranked 33 overall in our cash league

 

[Deeman1]

I bet Oxley scores well because I traded him out!!

I certainly hope so!

At this stage I'm just glad he's playing.
