Discussion Round 12: Teams & In Game Discussion (Bye - ESS, FRE, HAW, PTA, STK & WBD)

[Tamuhawk]

Could be a long week trying to find a way to get my preferred and planned trades done without trading Hore.

Luckily you have 2 days less to figure it out this week.

 

[AngryAnt]

Hore to beat his previous best and get 117 because I'm greedy.

He's averaged 90.86 since he came back into their side in round 4 and looks like he'll post another ton today. I don't think he's worth trading out next week, I've got Smith so he goes for me and Hore remains at D6, it's not like the defenders bar Lloyd and Hurn are tearing it up this year, don't think it's worth going up to someone like Ryan, Stewart, Blakely etc from him.

 

[Eagling]

I had planned to triple trade Hore, Answerth and Clark in order to hopefully field 18 next week but there's a good chance I'll trade one of Darling/Heeney instead if Hore keeps this up.

I’d definitely move Darling. Credit to you for getting a couple of good scores but he’ll be back up to 435k (great price for his actual output this year). That’s a much better trade out than Hore imo.

 

[BomberSam]

Agree with the sentiment among many of you on here. I am 100% trading Witherden before I consider trading Hore. Will probably trade Heeney too. Two sideways feels dirty

 

[IDIG]

Not sure if these figures have changed since LITS last posted them but the 2 big boys have finished the round as the two most popular C options.
At half time:
Grundy 56 (18.2%)
Gawn 79 (9.5%)

Yeah on balance you're right. The main thing holding me back is the mentality that Hore is a definite 'rookie' so it is easy to label him as a rookie and Darling as a 'keeper' so there a psychological aspect towards trading a 'keeper'. Also, there's the hope that Darling has 1 or 2 150+ monsters by season's end and FOMO will stop me trading him.

Heeney tonned up to get himself a reprieve for now, IMO.

 

[pizza safety]

Don’t know what to do with Hore and my trade plans if he keeps this up

 

[Professor]

Lowest scorers have been deducted from your score on the SC App. You will notice your number of bench players has increased.

Could end up being a scary thought for those that locked in Neale/Kelly/Grundy this week seeing the following sort of scores:

194 Cripps
149 Danger
136 Lloyd
140+ Gawn

 

[IDIG]

Holding Hore almost certainly guarantees a donut for me next week but I think it’s definitely worth considering options where you hold him and save yourself a trade.

I do have Milera at D5 though so holding Hore is a little less appealing after seeing Milera’s score on the weekend.

Hore is 23 though. I think a lot of people forget that, more of a Tom Stewart than a Doedee that MAY drop off and even Doedee didn’t drop off himself too badly anyway.

M Gawn:
HT:
15 Hitouts
7 Hitouts to Advantage

 

[Rowsus]

.............
140+ Gawn

Chickens .... eggs

We did see Jelly, and particularly Neale choke on what should have been much better scores.
Neale was 102 3 mins into the 3rd, and scored 108 or whatever!

Yeah, as a Danger captainer, I’d happily take any small win against the masses, as big or little as it may turn out to be.

106

Gibbons outscored him.

 

[quite ironic]

Do you get negative points for a backwards kick? Baker just took a mark and kicked it backwards to his team mate and scored 0sc after an update for the mark and kick...

Yeah but it’s usually different for a ruck. Gawn can have quiet quarters but you’d think he’s guaranteed 130+ today unless for an injury.

Would be very doubtful.

Would be very doubtful.

They must’ve just went 0sc for standing uncontested mark and 0sc for backwards effective uncontested kick.
