Discussion Round 8: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Vicwood]

935/7

Thought about putting the VC on both Macrae and Kelly and regretting it now.

Pretty big start for the Mudflap’s

Looks like another great score on the cards.

Not owning McCrae or Jelly

6/613 not the end of the world yet. Backline donut but.

577/7 I can see it from here.

 

[Vicwood]

Ye

Essendon and Melbourne players have as much chance as being rested in Round 9 - 12 as players from other clubs so that nullifys any "extra game" advantage".

Who knows how they schedule Rd 13 - 18.

I agree I cannot see the ubers playing all games, rotations are going to creare more carnage for coaches. Then teams masseuse will be working over time next few weeks.

Toby Greene only in 9% of teams.
Pleasantly surprised by this

One of the top forwards when fit, no doubt

When fit seems to be the only issue

 

[Dazza]

6/634

 

[Bermi]

4/387 - Macrae (169), Whitfield (116), Rankin (56) and Aarts (46). V/Capt Lloyd, Capt Gawn.
Traded out Ceglar & McInerney and in Houston and Simpson.

49 games in X days. Assuming no unanticipated delays the end date will probably be Sunday 20th September but could be Monday 21st September, ie 5 weeks after the end of Round 12.

As the AFL have tried to keep a regular fixture for Rounds 9-12 in the sense that their are no Double Game Weeks we can only assume for now that Rounds 13-18 may be similar, which is good for fantasy footy.

It would make sense for the byes to be front ended towards rounds 13 & 14 and more regular rest to apply in Rounds 17 & 18 if they intend to launch straight into finals to minimise time in hubs. Presumably the last few home and away games would be between teams out of finals contention when the final fortnight of the fixture is released as used to be the case when the Round 23 floating fixture was released but before the post Round 23 bye introduced.

When I first looked at it , I thought they needed to still "gain" another week somehow if they are now talking about the Grand Final on October 17th.

12 - Saturday 15 August

13 - 22 August
14 - 29 August
15 - 5 September
16 - 12 September
17 - 19 September
18 - 26 September

Week 1 - 3 October
Week 2 - 10 October
PF - 17 October (was revised date for GF according to Auld)
GF - 24 October

Things are changing daily so who knows what they will do.

Toby Greene only in 9% of teams.
Pleasantly surprised by this

Had him from the start , frustratingly has already missed 2 games in 8 , so do you keep him or trade him out next time he misses (or hopefully have a premium F7 in readiness) , given he rarely plays close to a full season.

Hmmmm Egg v Williamson on field?

The plus for Egg is he gives me Grundy/Gawn C loop

 

[Darkie]

I think the value of the game in hand is being overestimated recently. Assuming bye rounds continue using best 18 scoring, the value of Petracca playing effectively replaces your 18th highest score for that round.

As many are completing their teams, I would estimate the 18th score to be around 60-70, meaning the extra game is really only giving a 30-40 point benefit (assuming Petracca goes around 100).

This is however assuming there is not too much carnage. Obviously if you are only able to field 17 without him, Petracca becomes very valuable.

I agree with your take. Personally I think quite a few teams will be struggling for numbers unless they give us even more than 34 trades (which I see as unlikely - they know more byes are coming and just announced the 34), but it’s hard to fault your thinking on the scenarios.

You can swap Rivers to MID via Starcevich to give you the following options and still keep your Grundy/Gawn VC loop.
1: Egg (45) + Serong/Starc
2: Budarick (59) + Williamson
Think I'll take Option 2 with that +14 points advantage and I feel that Williamson will have every chance to put up a score against my boys too.

 

[Socrates2]

946/7 with Josh Kelly VC to C, Macrae, Whitfield, Greenwood,Pickett, Buderick,Rankine.
I only put the VC on Kelly because I couldn't use Neale ( same game as Gawn) or Grundy ( no loop that late in the round)

 

[dicksilverman]

711/5, now the walls will come tumbling down

 

[bloke]

703/7

5 premiums (Macrae, Bont, B Smith, Dusty, Whitfield)

2 rookies (Andersen, Rankine)

Kind of worried Pickett gets dropped again.... just needs one more game to make the most of that 100 in his system

 

[Erek22]

6/580 -Gawn (c) includes Rankine and Pickett who did okay.

Cotchin due back next round , possible debut for RCD

Well this would be excellent for my Ultimate League team - I have both!

Like it THCLT, like it.

Thanks

Now it is a choice between Starc and Williamson on field
