Position Round 6: Teams and In Game Discussions

[meataxe]

As a Bont owner, I think he earned every one of those 141 points...and perhaps could have got a few more

Silly me taking VC off Bont and putting it on Buddy...overthinking things.

What a great game. Greene a chance for 2 weeks off?

 

[Courtesans]

Bont had 22 possessions at 81% DE , 15 contested 7 tackles and 3 goals, it was a huge game.

We all know it is an inflated score, just have to live with it. Is the game it is.

 

[MrMurdoch]

I did notice his score kept jumping up in the 2nd half of the 4th quarter without him seeming to do anything

Now that I think about it the exact same thing happened with Fyfe in the 4th quarter last week when I had him captain so perhaps I shouldnt be too annoyed

 

[IDIG]

My observations from watching years of live scoring IDIG:

Clanger (unforced error): -3
Free against, in a contested situation: -1
Free against, in an uncontested situation: -3
Give away a 50 meter penalty: -5

Thx mate. Fwiw Macrae lost -7 for that 50 he gave away.

Been a lot of knockers for Taranto, time and time again (prior seasons), we see a rookie have a week off and come back to smash it.

Happy to have reverse trade him back into the side this evening.

same here, was expecting a 30

 

[Herbie66]

non-owner of Bont , but remember how many people were worried here how Bont could/would lose many points with 3rd man up rule.

Perhaps CD has taken this into account and is "rewarding" him with extra points.

To be honest I have no idea

For those with him , enjoy the scores.

Once in a generation player and still only 21.

I'd love to see a side-by-side of Greene and Bonts last quarters.

Bont scored 45 and Greene 35, yet I will swear Greene did more, stats-wise, and actually had a good hand in GWS winning the game in the last quarter, which usually attracts some sort of "bonus" scoring.

 

[Athomas]

582/4+C. All prems but will take that.

Macrae did nothing in Q4 (that 50m penalty didn't help) but glad Shaw bounced back.

When they went inside 50 with less than two minutes remaining and Bont was 1 on 1, I was already dreaming about a mark and goal to get him to 170+

A contested mark (5), goal (6), 4-5 more touches (probably around 15) and 4 tackles (12) for the Bont in the last quarter. That's already 38, not taking into account the high weighting in that quarter. See the scoring thread for more details on his night.

Yeah was surprised by this. Greene had a big 5 minutes at one point where he seemed to be everywhere, including kicking an important goal that probably sealed the game. Was expecting more

 

[Darkie]

189/2 from Dahl and Macrae ... in both SC and DT

 

[Courtesans]

Well, thanks Taranto..

 

[OzRulesFootball]

ha ha. Gold.
My one experience of being in Canberra for a few days a number of years ago leads me to be surprised they did not turn off the lights at Manuka oval at half time.
Progress finally!!!

 

[couchPOTATO]

Dahl will have a broken wrist from that you just know it

This wasn't mentioned in the last 5 minutes of the in-game thread, does anyone have any intel if this was serious (ie likely to miss weeks) or not ?

I watched it on tv. Personally doubt it will be a break. Just reckon he would have been very sore for 5 to 10 minutes with Canberra cold weather and any whack to hands, fingers and wrist going to feel worse than normal in that cold.

 

[GrainFedBeef]

Play Fisher or Parfitt to get Taranto's score ?

Maybe Parfitt by the slimmest of margins.

Parfitt plays Pies vs Fisher playing Sydney.

Think Fisher gets plenty of the ball, although, in higher pressure (quality opposition) games think his DE can fall away.

 

[OzRulesFootball]

OK, SC Gods, what do I need to do to get you to rest Goldy up so Preuss plays ?

TBC sounds like throwing good money after bad there ORF.

Could be mate but the alternative around trading Spencer to a playing ruck that within that range is Vardy, Giles, Boyd and Bellchambers. There is no good about this situation.
Having said that, my preference is Preuss play so not forced to find a ruck this very week with such limited funds. If Preuss not playing I got no second scoring ruck or Bellchambers or have to use two trades to fund better ruck than Bellman which either involves sideways trades which not after or trading Turner before Pickett or Hanna simply because he has more cash in him and can get me Kruezer at least. He will have to be Plan B if Preuss does not play. Bellchambers is plan C. Plan D is delete account which is more trouble than it worth to go through Herald-Sun and Virtual Sport hurdles.

The good money went on Gawn that started this ruck cascade. I used his funds to get me Nick Roo as believe it or not my forwards situation going even worse than ruck division of Sandi and Gawn.

I expect in the LONG TERM you will be better off copping a donut this week and addressing it next week unless their is a better ruck to trade in

In the end I am leaning this way now. The rucks are in the lap of the SC Gods this week. The timing of North game does not suit me today to be trying to get online when North team finalized. I am going to concentrate on getting Balic in with Fisher during the day and do nothing more about the rucks until I got more cash and put E on Preuss with Spencer on field. Balic will help my bye structure and although SPP and SPS have not generated the cash I want just think I am going to have to unlock their cash value this week so I got more for ruck funds next week or week after. SC Gods owe me big time so they just need to find a way and put Preuss into action for me.

At least Bont didn't beat his breakeven.... need him in my side!

 

[OzRulesFootball]

Taranto turned up at last.
Was due that is for sure.
Your turn to do some mooing too now Hannan and Turner

 

[Cattleherder]

Taranto turned up at last.

And he looked confident and aggressive for a five gamer. Good signs if his JS stays good.
