Discussion 2021: Round 1: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Brettthejett]

80dt for Grundy would normally be around a 110 game for him.

Maybe so but his last season (well finish to it anyway) was well below what we had come to expect. My theory is that ever since he signed his multi million dollar mega deal he’s been hopeless case of got my money now I can just drop my effort off that 5%. Also he’s not having the impact on games that he was and isn’t getting the disposals like he was either. Hopefully he will come good and average 110ish which I’d be happy for

 

[Beijing_Sting]

Jesus - that's a lot of hugging for Treloar

 

[Leroy]

The Bont was wasteful tonight. Too many dinky kicks and such - 29 touches at 58%. Could have been a 120 game

 

[Professor]

Last quarter prediction, young Caleb 15 touches

Finished with 12, close. 😆

 

[Ratzondix]

Yeah I think he’s possibly been underscored a bit which makes it look worse than it is. Has been nothing short of putrid tonight though.

11 possessions is an awful outing.

 

[Professor]

How much scaling to come ?

6 Points

 

[Herbie66]

Plus preseason. Most rucks are struggling to get possessions.

To be honest I have no idea what the ruckman average possession wise (will need to do some research) , wouldn't think too many of them are big possession winners though unless they do play a link up role.

Certainly , like everyone , will be monitoring the ruck scores with every game.

Be interesting to see how Gawn , Goldie , Nic Nat , ROB perform.

Don't know what Grundy's game tonight says about the ruckmen. He was absolute garbage and would've scored poorly any other year. Have to wait and see what Gawn does against a 1st gamer tomorrow.

 

[Trickee]

I was the goose that put him on ground lol. 1st mistake of many this year i reckon

Last minute trade in before this match for me, I should know better not to do that. Just one of a few duds for me in this game, lucky I had him on the bench with no emergency I guess...

 

[Gruffles]

Taylor Adams just 43 SC tonight

Wow

He might make a juicy first upgrade R6/R7 if he puts in a few bad early rounds.
Mitchell the other one I am watching, don't think he will be nearly as bad but if he holds back on the tackling, it might keep his scores reasonable and see him drop 50k by upgrade season.

 

[Gruffles]

Seems young henry was a mistake or a pick. Had much higher hopes for him.

What's your current team mate?

I think Grundy just played poorly against 2 rucks. Both English and Martin got 90+. Infact 12 doggies got over 90. We have hogged the points in this match

 

[Beg2Differ]

As most suspected lots of mouths to feed at The Bulldogs. Glad Macrae didn’t didn‘t punish me too severely for skipping him.

Unsure why you would want to bring him in when there are clearly 10-15 better mids you could have before him plus I think Collingwood will lose more games than they will win this year

 

[Gruffles]

Most impressive player tonight was Smith.

 

[Wheedus]

OK so based on two games, rucks are a real issue and unless Gawn does something special, there are going to be some viable value picks in that line

Don't worry he's got Carlton next week, he should beat Pittonet hands down.

I was keen on him in the preseason before all his niggles/hammies.
Such an interrupted preseason means a slow start more often than not, that will change as season goes on.
Let him build and Collingwood get their act together a bit more (even if still ****) and he will rack em up. Injury always a risk but if he gets cheap enough I will be all over him.

 

[Herbie66]

Rucks are a problem 🤔 yet 2 of them just scored 90+

 

[Vicwood]

Well the final score flatters the pies. Just absolutely smashed at the contest.

Henry and Roscoe are not ready.

Seir massively disappointing. Daicos not much better. And what the hell happen to adams, couldn’t get near the sherrin.

Writing was on the wall in November last year. What a mess. Given away 3 seasoned players for 3 kids whom may never play more than 10 games. Kinda feeling sorry for Nathan.

Will be lucky to win 6 games his year.
