Discussion Round 1: Teams & In Game Discussion

[JMAC]

Thank You re: Gould.

Back to the drawing board.

 

[jaca]

Anyone going with Mitch Hibberd on the bench rather than taking a punt on Tyler Brown who might be out of the Pies side in a week?

Looking at this

 

[Dazza]

Does anyone know if Will Gould was an emergency for Syd?

No

 

[Vicwood]

Kreuzer out 16 weeks with a broken foot.

Tom De Koning and Marc Pittonet will now battle to grab the No.1 ruck role.

De Koning this years ROB.

I prefer a rookie who’s been named over one we may not see potentially for 4-5 weeks.

MHibberd was “fit enough” for selection but it doesn’t mean he’s that close. Heppell to come back too.

I think if he was that close he would’ve played a half of Marsh 2.

 

[FirstTimer]

McInerney what's his JS like with the swans ???? worthy switch for Robertson or not

Just worried Robertson is competing with Stars for 1 spot , should i hold him or swap to McInerney ??????

 

[Pieman17]

Yes I remember you thinking that we might go Hickey vs Gawn.

I think this may only be a week 1 thing because we are playing Gawn, It's not fitness as Williams has trained all week and was in the extended squad, and don't forget Hickey was totally out of favour in the pre-season despite being available for selection.

I can see Williams coming in next week, also Simmo said today about maybe going back to 1 ruck with the shorter matches.

It seems like it’s a bit of a test. If Nic Nat can push to 70% TOG then there will be no need to play Hickey as well.

The Gawn matchup likely plays an impact as well.

Yup i've conceded to not picking him and can't see another option so missing out on that Pickett(E)

 

[Courtesans]

Anyone have a view on Cavarra? Didn’t hear his name mentioned at all in the preseason.

Seems to happen often that a rookie who has not played preseason and then gets a rd 1 start plays ok. If nothing else the coaching staff must think highly of him.

 

[jaca]

My team is so random now.

So if Brown gets dropped next week for Treloar what will you do?
I currently have him and McInerney in my team but got no confidence on either of their JS

I think to be honest we are all in a week by week scenario at this stage. There's maybe 4 rookies with any JS I can see so I'm not concerned about getting hung up on who's playing and not playing next week.

Doubt if Treloar will be back for a couple of weeks , imo Rumbler

 

[Leroy]

It won't even be the weekend and I'll have half my on field scores in place for R1. Talk about eggs and baskets and all that.

 

[lavenderbandit]

How the F did Gazza end up back in my team?

 

[Courtesans]

How the F did Gazza end up back in my team?

He is such a temptation this restricted season.

 

[Beijing_Sting]

I cannot believe I am going into this season without the two best rucks... OMG! lol. I hope the money I saved is enough to compensate... I suppose they'll both go 200+ now. That would hurt

 

[doc ron]

Probably the same way the ultimate burn man Rocky ended up back in mine.

 

[SxMphxS]

anyone know Corr’s JS? Better than T Brown’s?

 

[Zimmer]

Kreuzer out 16 weeks with a broken foot.

Tom De Koning and Marc Pittonet will now battle to grab the No.1 ruck role.

Phillips a huge loss.
