Mills starting in the middle could it be

 

[pizza safety]

Never thought Cripps would be one of my worst starting picks

Cripps hasn't really looked like himself since midway through 2019, not sure whats going on exactly. At this rate hes so underpriced next year that you have to pick him again.

Gotta laugh, had taylor, goldie and simpkin in that game (have buda and aarts on bench)

Guilty as charged.
P Cripps:
When selected by @Connoisseur (RD12 2019 to RD8 2020): 107.17 from 17 (8/17 below 100, 5/17 120+)
When not selected by @Connoisseur (RD1 2018 to RD11 2019): 118.55 from 33 (8/33 below 100, 14/33 120+)

High TOG% and heavy contested style starting to take its toll. Hopefully with the progression of their younger midfielders, it will help to decrease his load and their dependence on him.

Just noticed Jack Martin also scaled down 9 to 80, oh well, hope they scale up in this game, Titch only and looks interested today.

 

[Herbie66]

Plenty of debate this year saying that Rozee may have been the best pick out of that draft over Walsh.

I think after Round 2 they were ranking Rozee the second best Power player in history ?

Be interesting to see how it is judged , from memory it was :-

Walsh
Lukosius
Rankine
King
Rozee
King
Bazlenka

I guess it depends on type , team , opportunity etc etc

Given the poor quality of key forwards can the King boys be 50+ a season players

Lukosius looks good in defence

Walsh , Rankine , Rozee , Bailey Smith

 

[Professor]

The time clock on fox footy is counting up, instead of down, what is going on today? Blame the umpires I say.

 

[AngryAnt]

Carn Sicily score another 140.

Yeah wow thats incredibly unfortunate for you. I've owned him continually since R1 2018 and have seen his playing style and form noticeably drop from the middle of that period. He doesnt seem to have the same ferocious attack on the ball consistently game to game and within games and seems more and more frustrated by the tags he gets every week. Definitely has heaps of upside and it appears to be the effect of being an absolute inside bull with so much resting on his shoulders. I don't doubt he'll come good at some stage, but I think we've been sucked in by a ceiling that doesn't really exist for him given he is so dependent on winning the ball and tackling in around stoppages and doesn't have the other facets built into his game to score like Macrae or a prime danger.

Include the three games prior to R12, 2019 and he's averaged 104.65 in his last 20 - definitely not the super premium we all think he is in our heads. Notably his consistency and floor has dissipated, from R1 2018 - R8 2019 he had 1 score below 90, compared to 10 scores below 90 from RD9 2019 - RD8 2020.

Went to the Crows games the other night, Maximus King looks like he’s going to be a star forward, already looking good at 19. Ranking and Rozee looking like they’ve got that x-factor though that’s going to win games off their own boot. Walsh will be a solid 300 gamer, although maybe not a full superstar midfielder.

Sicily 99 at 1/2 time

 

[Connoisseur]

@Professor

Did you VC J Sicily?

 

[Zimmer]

I'm back. Sorry, my children needed bread and wine.

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Sicily doing his best here to make up for some of the performances from my players earlier today.

 

[Slammer]

Just finished watching the second half replay.
As I thought. After a great Thursday/Friday my scores were bound to go downhill quickly today.
Cripps, Simpkin, Docherty
At least the boys got up I guess

I traded him in this week, always nice to get that instant return on investment, especially when he’s at a full premium price.

I haven't seen Walsh on TV yet this season (didn't notice him much against Port last week) , just recall him as a running machine sitting in Cripps back pocket for the 1-2 , didn't think his kicking was that flash last season so may have improved that.

Love being able to see Rozee each week , will only get better and better.

Looking forward to seeing King tonight.

Be interesting if the Saints try to get the other King or the Suns try and get the other King.

Think the Crows will need to offer up more than Crouch to lure Lukosius back home.

The little I have seen of Rankine he just reminds me of McLeod.

 

[jaca]

Rampe going well again.
