Discussion Round 11: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Zimmer]

What's the deal with every club clapping as they sing their song?
Seems spiritless with some of them.
Covergent evolution, or AFL directive?

Social distancing. Other players grab their teammate's tackle though, that seems all ok.

It began weeks ago!

You were always the President of the Big O club , we are all just joining late.

 

[Kidult]

Looking at Neale lowest score of 130 without that GWS game. Average of 153 without the 87 and still only 171 his highest.

 

[Herbie66]

It began weeks ago!

Has scored more than Gawn in Round 9-11.

 

[Seymour Skinner]

6/854 (Neale)

Got 21 playing and 17 premos.
It's either 70s (Dusty, Smith) or absolute belters (Neale, Macrae, Bont) so far.

How about the #1 bloke trading Viney for Wines this week. Must have a time machine. Can't blame him, I'd use it to win SC too.

To stop them touching each other up

What is the record for a team having the most players going say 90 - 95+ each in a season ?

Given the Lions with Lyons , McCluggage , Neale & Zorko (obviously higher than 95+)

others like Andrews , Bailey , Berry , Big O , Rich , Robinson , Witherden etc punching out big scores every now and again as well.

I know Beams , Pendles & Swan used to pump out big seasons.

Probably the Cats as well.

I seem to recall a article some years ago "sharing the pie around or something"

I'll give it some thought.
I think it's less likely to happen for clubs like Collingwood 2012, where Beams, Swan and Pendles went 120+, but the club only had 7 players go 90+. Also Richmond 2012 had Deledio, Cotchin, Tuck and Maric go 110+, but only 6 players go 90+!
I think it's more likely to be a Hawthorn type side. In some of their very good years, they struggled to have anyone go 110+!
Haw 2012 had 8 x 90+ players. 2011 they had 10. Geelong had 9 in 2013.
I'll take a stab at Haw 2011 with 10. But I'm prepared to be corrected!
Brisb currently have 7, but might end with 8 or 9.

 

[Tamuhawk]

4/422 Neale C

Definitely not a good score. No Macrae hurts. Starcevich so fail... luckily won't be competing for a best 18 spot. Love my new trade in Big O! Lachie Neale you are a superstar!

 

[Kidult]

Top 8 teams are set, it is now just down to positioning them. Highly probable that the Tigers drop to 8th by end of 11 games each.

 

[Diabolical]

880/7 + VC (Macrae)

That includes Starcevich’s 11, so if that doesn’t drop out I will be going from chocolates to boiled lollies very quickly!

Thanks for that , I do recall you talking about Hawthorn years ago how they would share the SC points around , similar to maybe Port outside of Gray & Wingard years ago (maybe)

Cheers

Hope things are/have settled down in Denmark with the virus (as much as possible) you haven't provided us with a update of late.

Stay safe

 

[BomberArmy]

2/408 (Neale C)
Probably gonna go Bennell > Cripps and keep Viney on the pine.. stay the course in trying to fill my team with 'premos' rather than sideways trading.. already did Ash > Watson and Budarick > Walker 🤭 for a $$ grab...

 

[BomberSam]

4/584 Neale

No Macrae

 

[Herbie66]

4/377

Bazlenka
Big O , Ladhams , TJL

might need to aim to get in 1-2 of these super scoring mids next season

 

[Beijing_Sting]

1032/7 VC Neale
12 Pemium(-ish) and 3 rookies (Simpson.Rankine, Close) to come
Going ok so far...

 

[Vicwood]

Viney out as well

Of course. Gawn and Viney. Just Brilliant. Double whammy.

Just a horrid year for injuries. That makes 10 for the year.

 

[frosty1]

7/996. I've readjusted to get Woodcocks bench score ahead of Simpson, if there's forward line carnage between now and whatever day this round ends I can add an E on Budarick. Projecting 2100 ish, but a long way to go.

 

[Spots]

6/767 w Macrae... seems way behind the front runners but still not too shabby..

 

[7/11]

5/713 Neale C

Bont, Neale and Houston big ticks. Dusty 74 is a bit meh, but not as bad as some of the other guys I had last week in my 18. Have 13 premos to come assuming Ridley gets up to play.

 

[Ironhawk]

9/807, really hoping the 11 from Starcevich doesn't count in my best 18 though which would put me on 8/796... (Should have 22 + 3 emergencies this week)

No captain score yet, going to be hard to find one to match Macrae/Neale. Again.
