Discussion Round 9: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Professor]

What's the word with Sturt, is he a definite out for this round? Required knowledge for loophole purposes.

Yes JL stated he's a few weeks away, injury report states 1-2 weeks.

Does this mean Ballenden is essentially a 123k ruck available in the forward line?

Forward , providing relief ruck to Big O.

Sorry SCS Family

I’m blaming the I.T people for the website being down 🤗

My browser said there was a problem with the database. I'm happy to nominate some of my posts to be deleted if that helps!

 

[chels]

I wonder if someone could help me please. How does Z Merrett score with D Shiel in and out of the side? Thanks

Archie Smith averaged 36...

 

[Herbie66]

Archie Smith averaged 36...

He might be a better forward than Smith , so that could change his scoring.

If they actually even get their key forwards firing consistently they will be a awesome side , not sure how long Hipwood can keep relying on potential.

Wow don't read too much into those NEAFL stats!

Jordan Lisle used to have NEAFL games that were like Brown at his best. 25+ touches, 10+ marks, 5+ goals. Didn’t mean a lot, although he did kick a lot of goals in the VFL after being delisted.

Anyway I think Ballenden’s more likely to hold his spot as he’s supposedly better in the ruck than Skinner. Some questions over his attack on the ball though.

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.

Bennell rested.

 

[inwhiterooms]

Bennell rested.

Yeah, sorry I've worded it a bit strangely. Just meaning for loophole purposes.

Is anyone with VC Macrae even remotely considering doing the improbable and risking the C on Gawn this round for the sake of a possible extra 40-50 points. Just asking for a friend!

I didn't VC Macrae last night. But if I did I would be locking it in.
So no, I wouldn't be remotely considering risking a 162 x 2 for the sake of 40-50 points.

Gawns highest scores this year were 184 and 185, both in winning teams. Don't think Melbourne get up over Port Adelaide, and even if he matches his best scores it's only a 20 point benefit.

We saw what happened to Grundy last week. Wouldn't risk a 20 point potential upside vs a 80 point potential downside

Had been thinking all week of getting some points on the board because my team is dying the death of a thousand cuts.
Realising I had plenty of time because the game starts at 7.40 or 7.50pm as per normal, tuned in at 7.06pm and began to have heart problems when noticed game starts in 4 mins not 34 mins also my wife was talking to me at the same time - ever tried to make three trades in less than 4 minutes with someone needing an answer to a question! It ain't pretty.
Action stations and in a panic, good news got a rookie, B Smith & Dusty in however Dusty was on the bench!!
Too late for a substitute, no time left - probably his best score all year and I had him on the bench - didn't sleep well thinking how could I be so stupid.
Surely someone else has done this - if you say 'yes' it will make me feel better (or not).

Yes , happens to everyone at some stage.

Yes it happens to most of us, but being unemployed I've managed to avoid those sorts of errors this season. 😬

Just remember that assuming you have cover that it doesn't cost you Dusty's score but the different between Dusty's score and you on-field substitute.

Also you got him much cheaper than the masses will next round.

Definitely Yes ... last one I recall was with Sandi but it was a site glitch as opposed to mine ...

But pretty sure I've done it as my own fault a few times over the years ...
