Discussion Round 7: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Ben's Beasts]

Just a question...if I bring a non playing player on to the field and make him Captain does my 'Emergency' also become my Captain or does my Vice captain come into play here?

You would get your VC score as captain if placing the C on a player who is not playing.

Thanks Ben's Beasts.

576/4 ( Counting Grundy VC as C)
Had an okay night. Grundy VC, Danger, Menegola, Simpson. Thought Menegola could’ve scored better had his teammates utilised some of his good early ball.

Grundy 144 as VC is nice. I rolled the dice after Neale’s 134 last week and copped a very stressful 107 from Grundy. 144 locked!

 

[Eagling]

Quick look at Max’s average should answer that one for you.

And that answer should be an emphatic no. 127 is on the lower end of a good C score, but it is a good C score.

Any idea whether Clarko will persist with Ceglar as #1 ruck when his toe is right? I'd prefer to hold him as he's my ruck cover and will have passed the big 3 rucks after this week, but no point if McEvoy is going to take over ruck duties.

Good question!
I'm forced to keep Ceglar this week, so trading him out this week won't happen. It will give me another week to assess him.
Can Ceglar play another position well (Fwd)?
From what I've seen, he can't, so based on my minimal observation and HAW injuries, he should keep his Ruck role.

Honestly unsure. Our currently listed side has McEvoy at CHB, Ceglar in the ruck. So I assume if Ceglar is deemed not fit, then he'll be a late out come Sunday. I guess the fact they've named him to begin with still shows that we are going to try and go with him as the number one ruck, and McEvoy in defence. Although with the Demons lack of talls, I'm still expecting a late out to occur for Ceglar, with probably Scrimshaw coming in to go across half back with McEvoy to RUC.

Purely a guess this based on our squad selected, but...

IN
Burgoyne
Lewis

OUT
Puopolo/Morris
Patton

Then I'm guessing a late change on Sunday of Ceglar out for Scrimshaw.

EDIT: Also wouldn't be surprised to see both Morris/Puopolo out, and Minchington come in.

@Bermi yeah Ceglar can play forward, not overly well, but he can. I'm not sure we would turn to him playing majority as a forward, and just chopping out in the ruck though if we were to revert to McEvoy rucking. I'd think we'd look towards another genuine forward option, with TOB/Lewis/(Patton) types chopping out.

The above is purely my guess at how things might play out, I haven't heard any more since earlier in the week. The Scrimshaw news of a possible return this week is a surprise (and a good one at that for Hawks supporters). Should I hear any more re. Ceglar throughout the day I will pass it on.

Thanks for your thoughts Goodies Guns. Hopefully it becomes a bit clearer today, but otherwise I might just hold him for a week and reassess next week

The GIANTS have made two team changes ahead of Saturday’s blockbuster against Brisbane at GIANTS Stadium.
Toby Greene (knee) and Daniel Lloyd (managed) have been withdrawn from the 22 and will be replaced by Bobby Hill and Jackson Hately.

 

[Herbie66]

Fark sake , just when I thought I might actually have 22 playing this week , now Greene is out.

Lucky Tom Green wasn’t a late in, as I traded him last night. ?

@Professor

Are you down at Ikon Park monitoring Carlton's main training session ?

EDIT

You are a idiot @Herbie66 , you know full well the Victorian teams are in hubs !!!!!!

Curtis Taylor has fattened fully (almost) ?

Think I have 3 blokes at $ 232 - $ 235 k doing nothing at all (like the majority).

Maybe instead of extra trades they will give us $ 2 million dollars to fix our benches ?

They are up in QLD Herbie, I'd think it'd be either at the Gabba or Metricon

hahaha aren't I stupid.

maybe he can watch training via zoom ?

Sorry Herbie. You have been copping it. Surely you'll get some luck soon.

Despite him scoring reasonably since I traded him, and it using up a trade I am glad I got rid of Greene in a sideways move for Simpkin a few rounds back, and even more so now. No comment needed on Fyfe who I got at the same time though.
