Discussion Round 1: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Leroy]

They just nullified each other all night, they just kept hanging on to each other for the whole game

Those two are some of the biggest, strongest and heaviest rucks around. Will monster plenty of others like English and whoever Carlton throw in there.

 

[7/11]

13/1445. Not sure how this will end up, but there are are a few guys I'm hopeful about from the West Coast match (5 players!)

 

[Dazza]

My two best scores are Grundy and Jacobs, what position do they play.

Grundy not Captain?
Cavarra on the field over Sturt?

 

[Ricky Bobby]

1471/14 C (Grundy)
Bit of a mixed bag today with Cogs my best tonight and Danger underwhelming. Big day tomorrow ?

 

[Lgndhen23]

if danger can score 85 after giving away 5 frees and being tagged all night

he shoudl be an alright pick, titch better not get 120 coz that will piss me off

 

[30BucketsofRo]

Current scaling is such a throwback to the scaling we used to have where Cyril scored tons off like 7 touches and some tackles and subs could score 40 points for kicking the matchwinner.

 

[AngryAnt]

Fort 94. Will take that.

 

[BomberArmy]

if danger can score 85 after giving away 5 frees and being tagged all night

he shoudl be an alright pick, titch better not get 120 coz that will piss me off

Hoping Titch gets 150+... ??

 

[Beg2Differ]

None of the super premo midfielders going large in round 1. That is a bit unusual. Could it be they are missing the crowds?

For this reason I am expecting slightly lower than usual round 1 scores.

 

[jobeywatto]

Who needs Gawn and Grundy!

If duds like Fort can score 95 against Jacobs imagine what Gawn is gonna do to him next week.

 

[Courtesans]

MacPherson big fail. Great preseason, garbage when it mattered.

 

[Drew]

I’m a first time owner and it’s been painful viewing. Not sure he’s even got a ton in him from here

He snagged that ton at least!

 

[patfootball04]

Greenwood 116 post-scaling. Wow I will take that & run!

 

[Ironhawk]

MacPherson big fail. Great preseason, garbage when it mattered.

Knew I shouldn't have trusted someone playing for the Suns. That said, Greenwood did well.

 

[Drew]

Well looks like Rowell is worth the $200k price tag, I’ll take 80 every time from a rookie.

 

[Kidult]

Rozee is a gun, had him as rookie for the whole of last year, not in my team this year though

Yeh i took him out for Petracca b4 the Crows vs Swans game need him to match that 125 pts

 

[KLo30]

There should be royal commission put together to look into how Sturt tonned up in that game. Scaling is out of control and we're now entirely at the mercy of the SC button pushers more than ever before.

Your Mathematics classes would have taught you all the problem solving, logic and statistical knowledge you need to work out what is now happening. But let's tack it on to the Royal Commission into Toilet Paper.

 

[zeus123]

What are we thinking would be a top 100 score rank for the scores are going?

 

[Erich1036]

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...!

Following on from this, I think we've got to treat winning margins with the same 20% increase to keep it comparable to if it were a normal game time wise. Using this 20% increase, Collingwood's 52 point win becomes a 62 point win. Port's 47 point win becomes a 56 point win. The scoring difference between winning and losing teams makes more sense when you treat it like this.

 

[BomberArmy]

Will take 200+ from Houston and Rozee, so can't be too mad.. MacPherson over Greenwood hurts though... swings and roundabouts.. also very honourable mention to Fort ??
