Discussion Round 8: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Goodie's Guns]

Feeling at lot better with the piece of mind I can turn Devon Smith in Jordan Ridley for this upcoming round.

 

[Crabby Skills]

Doedee straight swap to hurn

 

[Darkie]

Doedee to Laird next week.

Do you reckon Doedee out helps Laird at all? Or just a manageable price/Crows player?

 

[Zimmer]

Live from the fumble, kick-blindly and fall over dome

Laird upgrade target for me anyway. Wouldn't think his role would change.

Laird looking a lot better now that the coach is playing him in his best position across half back.
Also a huge positive is that he isn't getting stuck on the bench for huge amounts of time (due to lack of goals) like in that first term where he got stuck there for 8mins+.

 

[Lost In The Sky]

Was banking on Doedee being a keeper.

You'd think he misses the next 3 games in this condensed fixture.

Had a BE of 28 so won't lose valuable money thankfully. Has cost me any chance at a PL victory though.

 

[Vicwood]

I’ve lost count of the number of injuries my team has had this year.

last year was upset with 3 for the whole year. This year I think it now 9.

1447/14 (vc) Macrae
cannot wait until Monday night to rage trade Rozee and Simpkin with all the fury I can muster ......turning what could have been an excellent score into a good score.....3 muppets ....those 2 and me for trading them in!

I now add D Smith to this muppet list.

Was this a forced change due to Doedee’s injury? Feel like they had to move a tall to CHB and laird was then free to roam across half back.

To my eyes Laird has been across half back the entire day.

 

[Herbie66]

wow WCE with a late change

Thanks mate - I’ve had him as an upgrade target all year, but recently chopped him given the role issue. Comes back into the frame if Doedee will miss next week.

I’ll take your word for it, haven’t really paid attention to the game as much as I normally would due to being frustrated by Smith of the Devon variety.

 

[AngryAnt]

Carn Laird and Ridley ton up.

 

[Herbie66]

Noble , Brander (C) ? to take Hamill & Ridley VC
Yeo
Grundy

Gaff , Hurn & Shuey watch

If anything I think McPherson has benefited the most from Doedee going down in that third term, his score and disposals seem to have motored along.

 

[Beijing_Sting]

ok - I had Doedee as E and Starc in the mids loopholed with Rivers so I could c Rivers without having to take Buderick over Simpson or Bennell. Looks like now, I will take Buderick if Grundy goes big with a VC score. Have to take Starc over Doedee, right?

Smith though... OMG

 

[BigRuss]

Ridley is seriously good for a kid thats played a couple of handfuls of games.

Starcevich against Melbourne who are generally the most generous in gifting points to opposition defenders. Unless Andrews and Gardiner steal all of the intercept marks, I can see Starc getting minimum 50 this week.
