Discussion Round 3: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Couch Coach]

Right oh, so best 18 madness it is.

Flukes aplenty here: had the E on Pittonet covering Gawn, Pickett's 50 with E for Bennel, Brander for Rivers but Trac and Smith get a donuts. Still, means Whitfield's 8 will drop out.

Question is, after Grundy VC and no Gawn, who gets the C? Only rookies left so... does Rowell get 100?

Same. I think I'll leave the c on Gawn and take Grundy's VC rather than Rowell, Laird, Sturt, Bauldrick or Bewley

3QT-
M Pittonet= 104

 

[Beast_Mode]

Pittonet is legit ?

I'd definitely roll that dice, against Adelaide he's a chance

Best 18 is the absolute worst knee jerk reaction imaginable.
It's embarrassing to say the least.
Surely it was as simple as.

Lock Dees and Dons players (e.g. no-one could trade them in)
THEN
Award average points based on the 2020 average.
THEN announce the strategy

It's now a complete and utter cluster f×××

 

[Leroy]

In this crazy year I’d roll the dice in Rowell rather than take Grundy’s 103. At least it’d be fun.

Kinda what I'm thinking.
Caution => Wind - gives me a reason to watch Gold Coast

V Stanley?

 

[Goodie's Guns]

That's interesting , the commentary on the radio I was listening to see he was getting ongoing work on his hamstrings and hips and they put the queue in the rack.

Interesting. No mention of that on the TV broadcast. Some footage of him late looked like he was up and about just waiting to get back on.
However, wouldn't be surprised if they did just not worry about getting him back on.

 

[Couch Coach]

I’ve received confirmation that the best 18 scores have to come from on field players or looped emergencies only.

Please ask them about price rises. A bit unfair that 20% of my squad won't get a change.

 

[I am Cursed :(]

Happy with best 18!

No Gawn, drop Whitfield and a few other sub 60 scores, can field 18... dunk 128 cap.

Happy days!

 

[incog43]

make it up as you go along. what a load of garbage.

 

[Yasi]

3QT-
M Pittonet= 104

Took him over Gawn this round and kept Naismith at R3. Might be my best X v Y ever depending on how this muted double points move plays out.

Grundy to Gawn could be on the cards if it does apply.

 

[Beast_Mode]

V Stanley?

Gawn as well. He had terrific PPM in the VFL last year, thrilled he’s transferring the scoring potential across to the AFL.

 

[Tamuhawk]

Pitto

 

[Darkie]

3QT-
M Pittonet= 104

Gone past Grundy for the round.

 

[incog43]

here is an idea, just cancel the round?

if a game cannot be played, just cancel the round.

 

[Ironhawk]

In this crazy year I’d roll the dice in Rowell rather than take Grundy’s 103. At least it’d be fun.

Yeah, I decided before Rd 1 that I'm not stressing too much this year, mainly as I didn't expect this season to play out.

I set Rowell as captain myself after Titch didn't crack the ton. If he has a bad game, it's not the end of the world. Picking non-standard captains this year.

 

[IDIG]

Bringing in Pittonet is the only thing I’ve done right this round.

He also gets added to the long and illustrious list of players I’ve got in my sc team but never actually seen play

SUPERCOACH
KFC SuperCoach to revert to best 18 scoring system in Round 3 due to postponed Essendon-Melbourne game
Changes have been made to Round 3 of KFC SuperCoach scoring as a result of the postponed Essendon-Melbourne fixture. Here’s what it means for Australia’s No. 1 fantasy game.
Herald Sun
June 20, 2020 8:19pm

Like all KFC SuperCoaches, we’ve been thrown into a spin.
The news of Conor McKenna’s positive COVID-19 test and subsequent postponement Sunday’s Essendon-Melbourne fixture will result in changes to Australia’s favourite fantasy game.
We’ve tried to make it as fair as possible for those who have selected Essendon and Melbourne players and will be impacted in Round 3.

In 2015, when the Geelong-Adelaide fixture was postponed after the death of Crows coach Phil Walsh, KFC SuperCoach reverted to a best 18 scoring system.
We have again opted to take this approach for Round 3.

The best 18 scoring system used for the byes in past years will be adopted for this round and the Essendon-Melbourne match included in the round it is closest to.
Captains and vice-captains are still factored into scoring.

We understand those with stars such as Devon Smith, Max Gawn and Jack Viney or rookies such as Harley Bennell and Trent Rivers will be disappointed they won’t be part of their Round 3 score.

We hope the pay off will be already having these players in your team will give you an edge when they play a double in a few rounds’ time.
At the start of the season, we pledged to be adaptable during what is a footy season like no other.
Altered match times for tomorrow’s remaining games between Gold Coast-Adelaide and Fremantle-Port Adelaide will be updated.

Essendon and Melbourne players will not be locked out until the start of the last match of Round 3.

Average scores were unable to be used as it would allow some coaches to trade in players and maximise their Round 3 total via rolling lockout.
We hope you will adapt with us, embrace this change and continue to enjoy KFC SuperCoach.

Coaches will be informed of further changes to the fixture which impact KFC SuperCoach should they arise.

 

[freowho]

Yes.

So what is the NRL doing to postpone a game 1 day that the AFL can't do?
