Discussion 2021: Round 1: Teams & In Game Discussion

[AngryAnt]

I don't think I am - reports that he's has his strongest pre-season in a long time and has been working hard on his running is as enticing as it gets for a bloke who cruises a lot of the time and still averages 100 as am SC forward.

The new rules are made for Dusty as well if he's now covering the ground better, as we know he's lethal by foot anywhere on the ground.

He looked in absolutely ripping nick in the aami game, was doing alot of chasing and pressure work in that game as well which he usually doesn't care about in pre-season as well.

With his different role(sharing ruck and playing fwd) ,Gawn needs to kick goals to maintain his price

 

[Juzzo]

If Gawn goes 150+ I’m breaking the no takeaway ban I’ve placed on myself.

Zinger burger box to celebrate.

Red Rooster for you.
I have rookie ruck line.

Unfortunately a sub 150 would mean just a simple salad.

What people don't realise is that Dusty has explosive pace off the mark.
He ran away from a lot of players who looked like they were treading water.

Haha.

If you mean Fantasia, you can't lock something made of blu-tak.

Seriously, though, I have considered him. If picked you just have to hope he makes some money before he breaks down, which will require a few big games, amongst some low scores. Definitely not a lock, but could be worth the risk. Depends on your structure, too.

True....not the most reliable selection but 6 games would be good. Also trying to fit Atkins into the FWD line.

 

[Socrates2]

Luke Ryan, Fyfe and Gawn for me.

 

[Under The Dome]

Buckley always hides behind I do what’s best for the club. Well it’s time for a change up in the forward line. That last night was straight from the Longmire play book. Mc Creery as pressure forward and Rantell on the wing is fast and has good endurance.

Need Sidebottom in the guts aswell to give Grundy something to tap to.

 

[Connoisseur]

No players from the opening game for my side. Both Oliver and Fyfe spent a large portion of the preseason in my midfield but have recently been replaced by Neale and Macrae over the past week.

S May (new recruit), H Young, A Brayshaw (Freo) and C Petracca involved from a draft perspective to provide some interest for the early match.

 

[Socrates2]

Red Rooster for you.

Good luck Juzzo, I didn't have the cahoonas to do it.

 

[7/11]

Gawn C and Ryan for me in this game. Playing the ‘defenders score big vs Melbourne’ card and hoping it pays off!

Edit: Forgot that I also have Jordon as my E!

 

[Juzzo]

Good luck Juzzo, I didn't have the cahoonas to do it.

Cheers mate, Don't usually take too many risks, but I hope this is the year.

I'm surprised you think Taranto. I thought he relied on stoppages for tackles.
I'm thinking Macrae, Zerrett, Jelly, Walsh.
Does anyone else have any thoughts?
Another I've considered but am unsure of is McLuggage.
Rather than outscoring the stoppage kings it might just be a flattening of the curve.

You just named my starting midfield

Taranto is a spread player, backing that in. You want to be in the main midfield mix to get the CBA and around stoppages that do happen but being able to spread is vital based on the first couple of games.

Unlikely. Races need to worry about future races and horses are a lot more prone to leg injuries. Giants Stadium gets resurfaced after the show anyway, and I've seen games played in worse conditions. It's just whether it's considered safe for the players.

Would take lightning basically.

This is a strong FOMO game potential for me. No Gawn, Oliver, Young, Fyfe, May or Petracca, who've all spent time in my team or plans at some point! Throw in Ryan who never worked his way in and Brayshaw (x2) and Serong and there's a lot of players I've at least peaked at.

All about Jordon and Meek somehow

 

[Rowsus]

Call me old, but .........

*** has Fyfe done to his head????!!!!

 

[Lost In The Sky]

C’mon Big Maxxxy... Do us proud

 

[Dustman]

Bloody hell Fyfe,if you’re gonna rock my haircut,please don’t insult it with a man bun

 

[Wheedus]

Gawn -4SC

 

[Socrates2]

Gawn on minus 4 early doors!

 

[Under The Dome]

Cerra is one to watch for me. Can play inside and outside well and may just suit this new style of play.
