Discussion Round 1: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Kidult]

Bryce Gibbs is finished as an AFL player.

Hopefully that means Hamill comes in

 

[Leroy]

Last minute swap from Whitfield to Heeney looking good!

Haven't checked the ownership on Heeney but reckon he is nearly POD territory right?
Meanwhile all the nearly there mid pricers keep failing... Lynch, Brayshaw, Parish. Petracca next?

 

[Ironhawk]

Naismith almost doing enough to be able to be looped off the bench. Currently have him as R3, may be a viable R2 option for at least this round, can save a few 100K with my current R2 by trading to Conroy and upgrade elsewhere.

@BigRuss

was it Florent or Hayward in your little black book to watch out for ?

 

[Leroy]

Is Florent going to break out to something this year? High 80s maybe pushing 90?

Be careful...

Heeney 89 doesn't seem quite right from just 8 touches... There seems to be a handful of player each game who are way above what they should be... and it seems to be the guys who kick early goals.

CD may need to look at this.

 

[Dazza]

Looks I have to adjust my team base on the shorten game and the scoring system of a shorten game

Heeney's been in everything..

No evidence as yet but I have sneaky suspicion that players from winning sides will score more this season. Only reason I have for scores like Heeney and Shiel...!

I'm not too sure on the ownership % but certainly doesn't seem like he's in too many teams on this site. Glad I backed myself in on this one

 

[Leroy]

Way it’s going, English will be only ruckman not to score a hundred this week

Sean Darcy says hi

are you watching the game?

because he is in everything and definitely deserves the highest superocach score on the field

Crazy thought (depending on SC scores or if Gawn has a stinker) would you trade OUT Gawn and IN Naismith!

 

[Dalla]

What I have gathered from the two games today is that it looks like the players who are involved early seem to get some fairly inflated scores. Smith for Essendon today and arguably Heeney too (only 3 touches and a goal in Q2). Interesting to see how the rest of the games unfold this round.

It seems the 'get on a roll' aspect of SC scoring is amplified by shortened games and extra scaling points available.
Even if a team doesn't dominate the scoreboard, the algorithm seems to weight their in-game dominance higher than usual perhaps...

 

[AngryAnt]

Naismith first contested possession and clearance for the half. Beast mode!

I think you're right - I've been trying to get my head around whats happening re scores.
Rebound players, impact players, pressure acts also favoured I think along with winning side.
A winning goal at the end of a game will be huge under the new scoring methinks.

Heeney's been in everything..

Oh don't get me wrong... He's been really good, but I just reckon he's higher than he should be.

He's not having a 180 point type game.

Also saw it with Riewoldt and Townsend who both kicked multiple early goals in their games and had a massive score that in any other year wouldn't be that high.
