Discussion 2021: Round 1: Teams & In Game Discussion

[jarrad_]

slow down max lol

 

[McLovin]

Only one player over 100 DT so late in the game, very strange.

 

[Lost In The Sky]

yeah nah - 2 x 70 odd from Gawndy - the game has moved and I will be making one corrective trade this week.

Very early sample size, but there does appear to be a shift in the game with the ball now ping ponging back and forward at a high rate leaving the rucks in no man’s land.

What the right solution is... is hard to know and may take time for us to work out, but the change is evident.

 

[7/11]

slow down max lol

He's given enough of a head start. It's his time.

 

[scarfaceclaw]

Gawn beats Grundy! lol

 

[Gruffles]

I had May in my team briefly at D4 over Short about a week ago.

I just couldn't commit to the pick while staring at his game tally over the years on Footywire .
Reckon there is also an early trend of marking backs scoring much better with more free flowing ball coming in more often and them having more space/less congestion to mark it. Moore did the same all last night.

 

[Zimmer]

Quick question, I'll be thankful for anyone's input.

Should I field Sam Berry or Gulden?

The other option is to take Scott's 56 but that would involve trading in A. Fyfe as a FD when I'm concerned McNeil will already take on donut duties starting next round. Would also allow me to go Cahill to Impey, so there's that.

I reckon if you didn't have a clear plan to have a FD, I wouldn't bring one in for 56. Especially if Cahill to Impey is also an afterthought - and as you say with the possibility of other rookies being dropped.

I'd probably take Gulden re. your other question. But I've got both. Probably defer to @wogitalia on that one.

 

[Under The Dome]

Hmm Hamling now off with ice. Wonder if Chapman gets a run now.

 

[Socrates2]

When you pay $700k for Gawn (c) and hopes he scores 90 😊

$751,400 to be exact
In hindsight , the new rules and the 2nd ruckman were always going to affect his inflated average of last year.

 

[Wheedus]

H. Young gonna end on a decent score

 

[Manikato1]

Wish commentators would stop referring to tired players and issues associated with the "extended" quarters. They played the game that way for decades and for one season under special circumstances they shortened the quarters. Get over it.

 

[Crabby Skills]

ok harmes just forgetting how to bounce the ball under no pressure will be his first and last warning.

 

[Under The Dome]

Starting to wonder which rucks in between the rookies and the GGs might be viable. Will be interesting to watch Draper tonight.

I was looking at a English + Ladhams ruckline for awhile. Pretty agile and able to get ball outside the stoppages. Going to be interesting to see how they go over the next few months. Marshall was my preffered R2 but had to wait for him.

 

[Wheedus]

English could be the one given his background as a midfielder

Love this comment

 

[Manikato1]

Wow Freo. See what happens when you move the ball quickly! Tabs gets a goal

 

[Herbie66]

Good luck mate, rooting for you. Fortune favours the brave and all that. Fading both Gawndy may work out to be a master stroke

Cheers

Happy to sit and wait for 2 rounds and then see what I have to correct.

Just need all my rookies to work for once , will make SC a lot more enjoyable.

Hopefully by then the R1 & R2 debate/discussion will be resolved and just need to work out how to get them.

If not the IPL starts April 9 😀

 

[Tranterpants]

How many times has Dusty outscored Grundy & Gawn put together?! 😆

 

[mike89]

Lovely, lovely junk points...

 

[bomberboy]

Started him as well. Saw him attend a few CBA’s which is a positive but looks like Young was the better (and cheaper) option.

Yeah reckon I'll give him one more game, but potentially will go Dow to Ziebell and Harmes to Young after Round 2. Having said that, reckon he was a bit underscored!
