Discussion Round 9: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Herbie66]

Could mean Tobe Watson gets a regular game.I want to pick him before Close as Close will only get around 40 points this week against West Coast.

Darcy Tucker is mid though.

Watson came in for Cox from memory , not sure how far away Hamling (season) , Pearce (no time frame given) & Logue are away ?

Think they have 8-12 out though so too hard to predict when they are all coming back and how they move the magnets.

Watson might be better after the Bye if he is still in the side.

With a 49 he may not rise too much anyway.

Just realised I'll have no usable loophole this week, with Bennell + Rivers playing tonight. Unless anyone has heard anything solid on Doedee missing?

Max C it is.

 

[The Myth]

Is their much point moving Bont on now though ? Only 8 games left , getting him to a 110 point player only brings a extra 80 points for the rest of the season.

I think I’ll be looking to slingshot him. Probably my best way to Neale if I don’t get him in this week.

He hasn't had his Bye yet , slingshot isn't applicable.

Pierce is out for the year, Hamblimg has no upcoming return date plus Freo have 11 injuries overall.
Tobe W is an intercept marking player.I would much rather have him than Close even with the bye.

Brennan Cox will come back into the Freo side, the best hope of Watson holding his spot short term is if they dropped Taylin Duman I would've thought.

fair enough , I don't need a rookie defender at this stage.

Close with DPP suits my team but could also go Bell or Taylor.

Swans might have a couple of newbies as well.

Draper in the mix.

Can wait on Close until I see what teams are announced tonight & tomorrow , see how the Brisbane rookie plays tomorrow.

Just need weigh up different options.

That's annoying.... Thanks!

First Trade next week for Smith. Just new I should of done it yesterday. Arhhhhhh.

Yes Draper is one to watch.Close still a reasonable pick with his dpp and his 74 , I'm taking a risk not getting him but already have Hibberd, Darcy Cameron, Aarts, Simpson,Rankine and Pickett making money. Plus Buderick as a dpp.
Tobe W. suits my structure more.

Also factor in the torrential rain in Tobe first game. Not the ideal conditions for a intercept maker. Thinking he should have good JS with all the injuries Freo have.?

 

[Vicwood]

Even with upcoming bye rounds, anyone bringing in Hurn this week.?

 

[The Myth]

He hasn't had his Bye yet , slingshot isn't applicable.

I mean slingshot him on his bye round, to a better premo who’s bye-free.

 

[Socrates2]

Yes plus he'll be a good pod.If he's named on field I'm 100% picking him.

Only came in as a late change for Cox.

Not sure if his JS is that strong , otherwise wouldn't he have appeared beforehand.

Must confess I don't really follow Freo and their Best 22 and positions that closely so maybe he does stay.

 

[Socrates2]

Even with upcoming bye rounds, anyone bringing in Hurn this week.?

A lot of people are.He is value if you think he can score well in WA, others are waiting until after the bye.

 

[Herbie66]

Even with upcoming bye rounds, anyone bringing in Hurn this week.?

Yes definitely.

Won't get any cheaper.

Allows me more flexibility next week as well.

 

[Herbie66]

Anywhere in Round 13-16 which assuming is condensed again , given they want Round 17 & 18 to be "normal" Thursday to Sunday format.

Maybe they give us even more bonus trades during the next lot of byes to slingshot many players.

808/5 (c …vc Macrae)

Dusty, Macrae, Daniel, Short, Pickett

Everyone looks like they are off to a flyer.

Great to see the site back up and running. Enjoy the games more following the commentary on here.

 

[Herbie66]

fwiw KH said last night Lycett should be back on Monday along with McKenzie.

Up to Westhoff tonight if he keeps his spot or they try Ladhams/Lycett together.

Close a better option.?
