Discussion Round 4: Teams & In Game Discussion

[quite ironic]

I'll be happy if Crisp can get to 90 this week

Could be a good upgrade target for Collins if he drops to 450

Half Time Score

So COL killing the ruck hit outs but have really gained nothing ... no real surprise there as the doggies are used to that and matching them as expected.

What I find interesting is it looks like two teams of "scaredy cats" walking on tin roofs .... who'(s) is going to step up and take the risks (roll the dice) ... I mean the scoreboard will tell the final story ...

Dunks is starting to feel like the Billings of this year.

Billings delivered games in the 40s and 50s, Dunkley hasn't done that yet. On track for another 80 odd. It's not want you want but it's not an absolute disaster which was what Billings and Petracca ended up being last season.

All these players play different roles as well, which greatly affects their potential upside. Dunkley is at least getting some midfield time, unlike those other two.

confused why people were so keen on Dunkley remaining in the mids , not only was Libba back but once Mr Magnets decided to play Naughton & Schache forward , Bont was always going to play more mid.

Need to get the Bont ASAP

He has remained in the mids though.

 

[Herbie66]

and probably one of the worst things about SC , in games like this CD still have to award as close to 3300 points as they can

Feels like the 40’s and 50’s are not far away. A lot of points being taken up by other midfielders with Dunkley’s slice getting smaller. Smith getting amongst it tonight.

Easy to say this in hindsight. Probably because Kelly, Boak were all quite likely going to play fair portions of time as forwards, too. Just picked the wrong one (in Dunkley).

I know it's earIy days, but was close to starting Treloar. No good tonight.

 

[Herbie66]

5th or 6th most attended CBA this year as to what was posted before , ok less midfield time then

 

[Zimmer]

I thought it was just Essendon, but the set shot goal kicking in general is atrocious.

He has the Petracca mould of last year more than the Billings imo.

What Petracca scored last year week to week I could see Dunkley replicating. He just doesn’t look anywhere near it right now.

What's the record for the longest Round thread ? 8 games to go and we are on 528 posts already

Imagine if it was a week later and we all had the whole long weekend off

not sure about Kelly , although Scott declared a new midfield setup preseason.

Boak was always playing more mid time , Hinkley disclosed that preseason as well.

Probably once Morris went down , the thought was Naughton back & Bont forward , I gather Naughton has played F since Round 1 , don't follow the Dogs so not sure

 

[Rumbler]

My opponent has Moore along with Grundy as a VC. F**K!!
C'MON LIBBA PLEASEEEE!

It was a risky pick that hasn't worked out, owners might need to bite the bullet if they already haven't done so and correct.
