Discussion Round 3: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Darkie]

I would have thought the objective is to replicate what would have happened, had the game been played, as closely as possible.

All we are trying to do is get as close as we can to that outcome.

 

[Zimmer]

Grundy, Cameron and King. This game is gonna be ugly for me.

 

[Erek22]

Can someone clarify what best 18 means

Same as a bye round I guess

 

[doc ron]

I think SC may wait to see if the ESS v MELB game goes ahead midweek before they make a decision.

 

[AngryAnt]

Good goal Brown.

 

[Drew]

Freezing Whitfield’s price would be handy, not having to endure the big price drop, lol

Yeah that’s what I was think LITS, if Whitfield's 8 fell off the back of the wagon it’d be a very nice silver lining!

 

[BigRuss]

That was your choice to do that, and it comes down to bad luck. Can't say using average scores based on 2 games data is entirely fair either, if it was later in the season it would be preferable, but players with 1 massive game skew their average significantly at this point.

There's no fair solution...

How fair is it if someone had the c on Whitfield and gets bailed out over a guy who's locked down macrae 136?

Can't do averages and allow people to lock in viney or gawn as cap risk free.

Fairest is to do what they did in the past, best 18 scoring like the byes.

There’s no truely fair option. It’s just one of those things that can’t be foreseen - like the lights going off in that BBL game. Not everyone is going to be happy.

Averages seems ‘more’ unfair to me though.

Averages would definitely be unfair too. As I said giving everyone a draw is the only neutral solution. People gain advantages in every other outcome.

Cameron not looking good with his score

 

[Drew]

Can someone clarify what best 18 means

during the byes, SC takes your best 18 scores and doesn’t use the other 4 on field scores towards your total.

 

[IDIG]

Grundy, Adams, Hanners, Noble, Cameron in this game ?

Don’t know what I was thinking but took away my loops (Noble, Cameron) because I was concerned about ESS/Mel donuts but not sure if there was any gain...the opposite actually.

 

[AngryAnt]

Grundy has risen majestically this quarter.

 

[Bermi]

There should have been some guide lines given to us, as this scenario was highly possible, as it recently happened with NRL.

 

[Ironhawk]

I think they mentioned in the press conference Essendon players were being tested Tuesday. Not sure of how long it takes to get results back, but I don't see a game being possible until Thursday at the earliest.

 

[Zimmer]

“An official with the World Health Organization has stated that it appears to be “rare” that an asymptomatic individual can pass COVID to someone else” June 9th 2020

I'm clutching at straws. Players are testing positive in sports competition all over the world. It's going to happen. I just feel a bit sorry for Conor. He was homesick already. Now he has to quarantine again. And the nuffies are at him and the EFC as if he started the virus.

 

[Peter56]

I think SC may wait to see if the ESS v MELB game goes ahead midweek before they make a decision.

Would love to know before tonight's games so we can adjust teams accordingly.

 

[Bermi]

In the poll, I think another option could be added:
Only Melb and ESS players get 2020 season average

 

[Zimmer]

Grundy is back!! 52

 

[Monya Meow Meow]

Can't wait to get rid of Ben Long, what the heck was I thinking

 

[Herbie66]

In the poll, I think another option could be added:
Only Melb and ESS players get 2020 season average

what do Ham & McKenna get then ?

 

[Connoisseur]

C’mon Hannebery.
8 Disposals= 10 SC
