Round 18: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Bontempele]

The Danger/Gawn ruck fiasco is a perfect example of why they should get rid of the that stupid ruck nomination rule.

It got me thinking... did the nomination rule actually have anything to do with it? Before the nomination rule, it was still illegal to block a ruckman wasn't it? So if Danger wanted to go 3rd man up, and someone blocked him, wouldn't that have been a free kick anyway? ie. the real problem is the blocking rule, not the nomination rule.

At least you don't have Jelwood

I do.

 

[Monya Meow Meow]

Crap, just crap sigh...

The way I see it if Danger wasn't the nominated ruck and was just player trying to get into a spot to get a possible possession the free kick would never have been paid. The kind of body on body that took place happens all the time and free kicks are never given (whether they should be is another matter). The ump was looking right at Danger as he new he had nominated and was telling the Melbourne player not to prevent him contesting the tap. The Melbourne player just did not know Danger had nominated.

For my 2 cents worth I think no nominations and no third man up. Just throw it up as quickly as you can and only one player from each team can contest. The onus on who that should be is then on the players to work out not on the umpires to adjudicate. They have enough crap to "interpret" already.

Jeez Selwood has been a terrible trade-in for Fyfe. How does he let 2 duds tag him out of consecutive games? Thought he'd gotten all his bad scores out of the way early. Should've gone for Neale instead.

Yeah I tend to agree. Just throw it up quickly and let the game flow. Might even solve the stoppage problem!

I have fallen for the Selwood trap too many times so he is a never again for me. Don’t get me wrong, he is a great player and I would love to have him in my team however he does have his share of poor ones and seems to escape the scrutiny that some can’t.

 

[jaca]

I think Selwood almost relishes being tagged. Not because he will go all out to overcome it, but because he knows it’s him doing his bit for the team. Almost wants it to happen.

 

[Diabolical]

1492/14 ... VC on Gawn has come undone, so C on Titch ‘tis.

 

[Herbie66]

880/9

* stuffed my E on Billings
* wasted my VC on Selwood
* should have trusted Seedsman onfield
* and saved my ruck trade and just played big Oscar

what could possibly go wrong tomorrow

 

[IDIG]

1513/15

Titch(c), Gaff, Yeo, Simpson, Gray, Rocky, Wingard to come.

Savage 69, Hogan 72, Heeney 78, Jelwood 80, Brayshaw 87 bringing my score down

 

[Ricky Bobby]

1397/14
Only average or just below I would think
After watching Dees lose, can’t really be bothered analysing it too much ?

 

[Brettthejett]

1529/14

Yeo, Simpson
Kelly, Cripps, McLean, Titch(c)
Boak, Gray (billings77) to come

 

[Brettthejett]

PS For those playing at home, watching the Bombers Dockers game, keep your eye out for @Creeker on the boundary line. ?

Many thanks for the company mate. Great seats you have there. A few beers and a Bombers win, ahh bliss. ORAZIO...........

I hope creeker shouted you a few rounds there Philzay for the ticket that he hadn’t bothered booking yet hey Pete (creeker)

 

[BomberSam]

13/1366 Gawn

Set for a big drop from 453 I reckon.

Titch, Simpson, Cripps, Yeo, Hurn, McLean, Boak, J. Kelly, Coniglio to come.

 

[Tamuhawk]

1527/15

New trade in Hurley disappointing as I had tmac all week but changed last minute. Jelwood 2 weeks in a row of crappy scores. Joel Smith scored what Hibberd probably would have scored... better than a donut I guess.

Cripps, Simmo, Mitchell (C), Yeo, McLean, Hoff & Cogs to come. No pods left to play so probably don't need to stress out too much.

 

[Maccas marvels]

1261/12 with McLean, Gaff, JJK, Cripps, Simpson, Kelly, Boak, Titchell (C), Gray and Yeo to come.

There or thereabouts I think for similar score to last week.

 

[baz_machine]

1054/10

Lowest score of 84, high of 126

 

[Creeker]

Philzsay gave me the red carpet treatment yesterday. Was a great day out. Lij copped a knock to the knee in his game but made it back here for dinner and drinks last night.
Will go and have a look at the Cripps v Titchell game today then Pink concert tonight
.

12 / 1167. ? will roll the dice with Titch C.
Trades worked a treat. Sicily to Heeney and Hibberd to Crisp.
Happy days
