Discussion Round 9: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Kidult]

Given I traded in Ling literally one minute before seeing that footage, I've branched out into forensics and have rewatched the snippet 55,317 times...
Looks when the player faces the camera like Rowles and the hair colour looks more like his. So fingers crossed it was Rowles.
This is what SC reduces us to, lol, wouldn't have known the kid from a bar of soap a half an hour ago, now I feel like we're best mates.

Yeh unless Ling can grow alot of hair on top in a few days I think you are right.

Complete crapshoot. Winner this year is going to Bradbury it completely.

Could be worse , they could've all named meaningless 26-30 man Squads days in advance , at least they are naming 22 this way.

Take Georgiades 51, or roll the dice with Darcy Cameron?

Not ideal, but the situation makes it interesting and forces us to strategize in different ways. An intensification of the endless contingencies.

I say that now. What till it goes against me.

Easy roll of the dice. Pies a good chance to absolutely thump Freo I reckon. With a short backline the Pies talls might have a field day.

When do team line-ups for tomorrow's games get put up? Cheers. Thanks to everyone for their input, great people, great site.

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Georgiades got 55 (unless you're maybe talking AFL Fantasy scores??)

Either way, I'd probably roll the dice on Cameron.

At least Rounds are only over 5 days , in the past have had rounds over 2 weekends.

I am fortunate this round that my trades all involve teams playing tomorrow and Sunday so just have to be patient and wait.

4:20pm WST / 6:20pm EST... The day before for each and every match.

There is no listing all teams on a Thursday anymore over this block of condensed games.

Sequencing of games plays a huge part even when we know the teams, too. Trades, looping, Captains etc.

Thank god for a rolling lockout then.

Imagine if everything was locked out the first game of the round.

Just have to handle it all the best we can I guess.

Jeez Polec getting dropped after a game high 25 touches including 16 contested, 130 odd sc and 4 ccoaches votes was a bit unexpected for my draft team

I wouldn't be surprised if a ghostship wins it

 

[BigRuss]

Dont suppose anyone has Keanes pre season numbers on hand? I tried to use the search function to find the thread with the scores but I must be doing something wrong.

 

[Crabby Skills]

Means that if you want a def downgrade, it’s either Hamill, McPherson or our old mate BZT!

Tobe Watson possibly?

I'm wondering if Polec has a wife/partner/kids up in the hubs who might've been at fault for a breach.
I think I saw NTH added to the list of clubs with a breach.
Something very fishy about him being 'dropped'.

That score is complete rubbish at 22% effectiveness.

Don't know how CD can justify that even with all his contested possessions.

It's what you do with the the ball that matters not how contested it was... And Oliver Butchered it like no other last night.

Not trying to restart the argument, but if we have a closer look at the stats, we can start to reason how/why Oliver scored how he did.



22% of 9 kicks is still 2/9. Pretty sure that the 7 kicks does not go into the 4 clangers left over of Oliver's after Free-Kicks Against are deducted.

I remember discussing 'Neutral Kicks' earlier in the season and Erich confirmed these stats for us. Oliver's kicks may have been 22% effective, but means 3-4 could have been neutral kicks, meaning he still scores positive points for them. Clearances are worth a motza as everyone knows as well, of which he got 7.

I think Clarry is someone who gets unfairly maligned by some members because the disposals they remember are the bad ones (and some of them are goddarn awful).

His stats are not dissimilar to Rockliff's either, who didn't win as much of his own ball (hence 5 less CP and 7 less clearances). That difference was nearly made up by the free kicks that Oliver gave away + clangers.

I managed to find these in a document I saved:

Shaw's explanation for his omission is on their website , whether it's the "official" reason though no idea.
