Opinion Round 1: Teams and In Game Discussions

[Hondo]

Even if you aren't a crows fan jump in (there clearly aren't enough of us here!)- a chance at 18k on the line in round 1 don't forget!!

Crows fan and IN

Who will score higher for round 1 Menadue or davis ?

I'm feeling really unsure about Menadue's JS. Don't know if i'm overthinking it though. It seems like a relatively straight forward play to start him on the bench with the big E and go from there but something tells me i'll be trading him out just as quickly.

I've just texted someone in his immediate support group to see what he thinks. Will report back!

Great news on Ryan Davis.

Was pretty confident he would play when I heard he got drafted. You don't draft a guy who has been out of the AFL for 6 years for nothing.


Always liked him when he was at the Eagles and was sad to see him be delisted.

I'm in the same boat. I have him up forward, and can't work out if I should field him or not. I can't really see how I am able to loophole him anyway, unless one of McCarthy or Tipa don't play, in which case I probably won't pick them anyway! My floating donut is Petracca in the middle but he links up with Menandue... lol.

This is my forward line. Suggestions welcome.

Youre overthinking it.
Would you honestly expect anyone in his support group to put a knock on the kid?

seth

Uebergang as D8, DPP switch with Tippa?

You got Ubergang? Throw Tippa back to the defs

Great minds and all....

I don't have ubergang, know nothing about him. My links in DEF are M Adams and M Brown.

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Are we resigned to the fact that Ruggles probably won't play??

Can you post your whole team for us? I'd be inclined to leave it as is, unless you really are worried about Menadue. Then I'd axe Brown for Uebergang.

Uebergang is the prime floating donut this year, can someone link the thread with the analysis?

Are we resigned to the fact that Ruggles probably won't play??

Yep. Hopefully Tippa gets named instead.

106k Freo F/D FD option. Probably better than Petracca as it allows you to loophole the Essendon backs and the forwards you are concerned about. Your mid rookies should be reliable for 80+ but the D anf F rookies can really spud it badly if you have the wrong one one field

Why are we resigned to that fact? If that's the case I could just swap ruggles to Ubergang (or find another playing def rookie).

Haven't heard anything about him being upgraded. You'd think by now it would be announced.

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Tom Lee of the Saints any chance?? Or Tucker of the Dockers?? I am really scraping the barrel for cheap DEF rookie replacements for Ruggles if required.

Who do you already have?

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Who do you already have?

Brown, Hartley, Adams, + Tipa, Ruggles

Need those last two to get a game, and if not then the likes of Tucker and Lee, or anyone else. Risky i know

Ooh yeah. Bit of a risk. As above, might be worth getting FD and not picking a dodgy D8 thatll just annoy you. No Weitering as a D4 instead of Brown?

No coin to get Weitering unfortunately. Might work if a super cheap FWD gets a run, then I might be able to find enough to, but it's unlikely I reckon.

Sorry GG, doubt Ruggles will play enough games in a row even if named.
Papley definitely will be named in fwds if that helps, but he'll be out R2 I fear.

Lee/Ruggles your best bets, but it seems unlikely.

If you don't care at all about what your D10 scores. K.Brand probably will play for hawks and score 30-40s.
