Discussion Round 7: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Bermi]

Great, now Ceglar to sort out with Long and Rowell at a minimum.

Maybe 3 trades this week or is that too much to hope for

Long and now Ceglar for me, hmmm. I actually thought Ceglar might be dropped, the way he has been performing.

 

[Studz]

Some talk that subs might be introduced again......AFL must be desperate to get the season completed

Due to the Upcoming packed fixture, heap of injuries, training challenges etc.......I think they should increase the bench to six.

 

[Herbie66]

So far:

Noble
Sloane , Brown
Cameron
Ceglar , Heeney

Doubtful:

Starcevich , Williams (WCE)
McInerney , Rivers

Taylor , Brander

Best 18 is starting this round ?

 

[Lgndhen23]

ceglar out actually makes my decision a hell of a lot easier haha

 

[Ironhawk]

I trust @Goodie's Guns word on these things a lot more than someone random on Twitter who deleted their post, so I am confident Ceglar will miss. Damn

That really changes my trade plans now, I was planning on keeping Ceglar despite his form, but probably can't now. My forward line looks awful - Simpkin, Petracca then a whole lot of rookies, underperformers and injuries. Might need to bypass Simpson to shore it up a bit.

Found this tweet earlier, no substance.

Great, Ceglar has been scoring rubbish but better than a 0. Now to walk into the AFL version of survival of the fittest with no ruck cover.

 

[Wingemi77]

Hi All, just how 'fragile' is Rankine? Did he play any games in the 'twos' in 2019 or 2018? Tossing up whether to get him Day or Simpson.
Any info provided would be helpful.

 

[NT.Thunder]

Might try and cash everything in again and bring in Neale

 

[AngryAnt]

So Ceglar injured is this confirmed or just some rumour?

Rumour, nothing from any credible sources.

Thanks. Was planning on keeping him even through his poor form as i'm still carrying Cavarra and BZT donuts which needs addressing especially now with a million games being played in the space of a few weeks and teams having byes.

This is a great point AA, although who's to say with a compressed schedule and possibly extended benches, that these two actually DO get some game time. Certainly having as many warm bodies as possible is going to be vital going forward as it seems there will be byes all the way to seasons end.

Scaremongering.

I’m starting to get cold feet as well. Cats have a lot of midfield options. If we get a couple new rookies named to start I’m leaning towards Rankine and an upgrade.

I think the biggest problem facing us is not knowing for certain how SC will handle each scenario. I assume that with byes it will be best 18 but not knowing the fixture for 9-12 before the first game this week makes trading difficult. I think the best tactics going forward is probably to sacrifice trying to get top end premos and just try and guess those value selections, and make sure you have warm bodies on the bench that you can loop. With the weekly scores generally being lower this it seems like the rankings are more tightly packed. I think the overall winner can still come from someone who may be what seemingly is out of contention.I always base how I'm going by the gap between me and the leader rather than where I'm ranked.I don't think I'm as far back for my ranking as what I would have been last season. And with an unknown future who knows how easily things could turn around for those further back. Just my 2 cents

[BomberSam]

Do Dons and Dees get a double game round now? Am I missing something?
