Discussion Round 1: Teams & In Game Discussion

Phew sigh of relief!
Naismith as R2 paying off at the moment

 

[Lost In The Sky]

I agree. There's no new scoring - the existing system just gets extrapolated (which is what leads to more high scores, and more low scores).

Whether there is a sustained change in game style to account for the shorter games is a different question, but it's still very early.

They really should have reduced the 3300 number by 17.5% the same as they reduced the game time by. That probably would have resulted in more realistic scores.

It's going to have an impact on scoring this year... And will also impact starting prices next year.

Traded out Heeney and Naismith for Goldy and a rookie (Cavarra bench this week with King on the field).....whoops

 

[AngryAnt]

Time for Darcy Fort to continue the ruck trend and give us another ton.

 

[Erich1036]

Thank you, Sam.

 

[Bomber18]

Thank you, Sam.

Love the DP mate!

 

[Darkie]

What a legend! Auctioned his baggy green for the bushfires as well.

Getting better with age!

Seriously though, that's pretty impressive on both counts. Excellent to see.

 

[Lost In The Sky]

Wish tonight's games weren't on at the same time. Would liked to have seen both Live.

Want to see all the GC rookies, but also want to see the GWS v PTA game too.

 

[Bomber18]

Time for Darcy Fort to continue the ruck trend and give us another ton.

I'll confess, he's sitting at F5 for me! Fingers crossed.

 

[Toothless Tigers]

Heeney & Laird on the field with Naismith (R3) and McInerney on the pine!

Downgraded Macrae into Heeney and brought in Naismith for backup/cash!

 

[AngryAnt]

I'll confess, he's sitting at F5 for me! Fingers crossed.

F5 for me aswell, if he fails or Chris Scott decides to be stupid with his team again then it's not hard to go down to a rookie, we have trades for these risky types this year.

If they had done that, then the scores would all be lower by that amount, and every regular player would be overpriced ... unless they also changed the magic number.

The shorter games will impact individual players' individual game scores, but shouldn't meaningfully impact their average over a season, unless they are players who are better suited to playing low minutes (eg perhaps NicNat) or better suited to whatever game style eventuates.

Someone like a Heeney can have some low games too. Maybe his 80s become 70s or 60s.

 

[Darkie]

Mcasey obviously scored horribly, but did he have a bad role from an SC perspective?

 

[jobeywatto]

De Boer tagging Danger.

 

[Filthy]

Heeney & Laird on the field with Naismith (R3) and McInerney on the pine!

Very nice.

Yeah very true. I guess no one knew the type of Impact shorter games would have on scoring.

The question is... will CD make any adjustments, and will they let us know.

 

[NT.Thunder]

De Boer tagging Danger.

If there was anything that was more certain

 

[Monya Meow Meow]

Danger not a great start as expected

 

[BigRuss]

First of many for young Georgiades.

 

[Filthy]

It will be interesting to see if Heeney can maintain it.
No Buddy, no Reid helped.
Buddy still a couple of weeks away, Reid has a calf (old mans) niggle.

Do you do something drastic and go for broke with a trade like Gawn to Naismith and a Rookie FWD to Heeney before the price rise?
Have to see how Mr Gawn is going...
