Discussion Round 4: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Connoisseur]

Dunkley is a worry. Maybe a chance to increase his CB% as Beveridge likes to mix players roles up a lot. An injury could give Dunkley more CB attendance as well. Maybe?
The thing is that there aren't many Forwards screaming to 'pick me'.

Could be worrying for current owners but appealing for non/prospective owners if he can be selected below 450,000 due to your reasons mentioned above.

J Dunkley:
2018 Post Bye: 10 games at 111.3
Averaging 27.4 disposals and 6.6 tackles

2019 Pre Bye: 3 games at 84.67
Averaging 18 disposals and 4.33 tackles

Hasn't had a poor game yet and around the 70-95 mark seems like his base. Assume the 20+ disposals and 5+ tackles games will be coming which should equate to the 90-120+ but when is the main question.

Regarding your comment on Dunkley "...… around the 70-95 mark seems like his base...….", it's that 70 mark that's the worry

Well that clears that up nice and early (and unexpectedly).

Interesting decision for owners now.

I will make the following observation. The interesting comment for me was not Fyfe advising he was out, but Ross Lying comment earlier in the week (Tues maybe) that he thought Fyfe would be unlikely to play. For mine he uses reverse language often in these situations. That is when a player looks dubious for next week he will say something like "we expect him to play" and then he is a late out. But when he comes out early and says a player won't be playing or is unlikely next week that has in the past sometimes meant meant more than one week.

At least it's better than all the KPF's and several of the other fwds. Positive is the WB's game style is conducive for SC scoring and he possess a SC friendly game due to his contested style (tackles,etc). Will be one to keep a close eye on over the next fortnight/month for the 1st wave of upgrades.

2018:
Champion Data statistics show Dunkley attended 65 per cent of centre bounces from Round 15 last year — ranked No. 1 at Western Bulldogs.

2019:

Thanks!

Just shows more reason to trade him out.

Libba has negatively affected his prospects. If only we got to see how he’d go this year without that extra inside mid.

Thoughts on what Heeney will score this week. My guess is 92.?

i think the major problem for dunkley owners is libba. last year bevo was trialling mclean and dunkley in the mids. the first half was mclean and for whatever reasons it was situated to dunkley. this year bevo has used dunkley as his fourth or fifth preferred midfielder. i can definitely see him having a few 120 games but you can expect him to get the 75's and 85's throughout the course of the year unless one of there major midfielders is out for a significant periods. as connoisseur said his possessions are down by 10 which imo is a fair a bit. his not going to drop down by a significant amount. you can hold until the byes and reassess your position with dunkley or make the correction trade. if all things being equal his likely to avg anywhere between 80-90.

Good answers! Won't be rushing to trade him now.
Also, if Dunkley's kicking for goal gets a bit worse (especially against the Pies this weekend ), then that may help him get more mid time?
(Goals/Behinds season avg: 27 / 36)

i should have also included if coaches are considering trading dunkley out to a kelly then i would hold off. kelly reported at the start of the week he was touch and go to play this week. we all know geelong history with late out's. i personally dont think he will be a late out but he may play more forward for the next couple of weeks to ensure he achieves full recovery. hence his scoring and price may go down.

I guess Noah Balta will find himself on the backside of this weeks team sheet

Dunkley still trying to workout this magic system and formula. ?

Is Bailey Scott a possible out?

MIDFIELDER Paul Ahern's wait for a senior recall is over.
AFL.com.au understands the 22-year-old former Giant will be in North Melbourne's 22 to face Adelaide at Marvel Stadium on Saturday night.
Jed Anderson and Mason Wood – in place of ruck recruit Tom Campbell, who played the past fortnight as Ben Brown's forward sidekick – are expected to join Ahern, with the Roos making a minimum of three changes

Me likes Goldy being back to sole ruck

 

[Ben's Beasts]

Fair few popular rookies in the firing line this week. Any or all of Scott, Gibbons, Drew, Balta and Setterfield could get the chop. Hopefully no leftfield omissions to add to the above mentioned.
