Discussion Round 3: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Crabby Skills]

Simpkin is damn good. The Whitfield swap is tempting....

 

[Herbie66]

Apologies Heeney owners, think he likes bruise free footy, drifts in and out of quarters with ease. Don't think he's touched it this quarter, maybe once, was on 34 down to 31. Not good enough from a $500k forward.

You can't talk about SCS Poster Boy like that ?

Think we have all fallen for what he MIGHT be capable of achieving and not on what he actually produces regularly.

5 seasons , 100+ games time he produced on a more consistent level

just my 2c worth

Also missing Buddy

 

[Connoisseur]

HT:
3 players with 10 or more Contested Possessions
J Simpkin 10
T Goldstein 7
L Parker 6

Rd1-2 J Simpkin= 22CP (11 in both)

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Hoping Curtis Taylor produces a second half similar to his Round 1 efforts.

 

[Herbie66]

Also missing Buddy

SC average with and without Buddy is not that big of a difference.

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Aaron Hall the most selfish, goal hungry player in the league at the moment.
Throw in the fact he can't kick. Asking to be dropped.

 

[Toothless Tigers]

If I looked up Curtis Taylor in a picture book it would be

 

[Herbie66]

did Shaw move Simpkin into the mids when he took over as coach last season , might work out his Scott & Shaw average for 2019 this week.

 

[Vicwood]

Even though the Crows were disgusting last week, they could go mental this week against the Suns. Feel like it'll be more of a tug-of-war in the Pies v Saints game, so more opportunities for Brown to get intercept marks and possessions. Bit of pot-luck though either way.

Smith to tonne up.

I know North Melbourne were trying to recruit someone of note, but drafting Hall was a sign of desperation!

 

[GrainFedBeef]

Mclean showing his worth so far. Not good signs for McInerney

I would have thought if Naismith is fit, then he rucks and Mclean is competing against Sinclair for a forward role. McInerney was replaced by Robbie Fox, just doesn't look that way given how Swans did the late change.

Swans may have felt they were too tall last week and decided not to replace Brand like for like (Fox playing more back) and go taller in fwd line.

I may be biased.......

 

[jobeywatto]

Jy Simpkin in is about the only thing going right for me this weekend.

 

[Herbie66]

Footywire showing BE of 3 for Simpkin , price next week $ 452 k +

 

[Vicwood]

AFL. Giving the fans what they want since.... when was it they cared about the fans again?

Your being kind, the site is horrific.

 

[Vicwood]

Jy Simpkin in is about the only thing going right for me this weekend.

I’m hoping it’s a sign of things to come.

 

[Connoisseur]

did Shaw move Simpkin into the mids when he took over as coach last season , might work out his Scott & Shaw average for 2019 this week.

Not including today:
10/44 games under Brad Scott with 10 or more contested possessions= 90.7 from 10
6/14 games under Rhyce Shaw with 10 or more contested possessions= 113 from 6

After today will be 7/15 games under Shaw with 10+CP.

Still make a bit of coin with a swap of Whitfield

Blakely on Swans TV said McInerney was replaced by McLean , so McLean could offer a forward marking target and assist Sinclair in the ruck

Not biased. Tend to agree with your summary. Think I read McInerney was a bit sore coming off last week, and that matchups wise they needed some extra height the Swans. McLean been impressive nonetheless.
