Discussion 2021: Round 1: Teams & In Game Discussion
- Thread starter Ben's Beasts

Similar to me with Gulden and A Fyfe can become the non-player for the Capt Loop and gain around 100 SC pts.
But will we need all the CCs we can get to be playing, to make enough money to complete our team?
(Even though some CCs have scored high, others have not).
Looking like we will have a possible non-player for the Capt. loop in Rd2 with the reports so far (Cox, Daniher, Dangerfield), so maybe not important to get a non-player for the Capt Loop?
The BIGGEST concern I have, is it worth wasting a trade for?

Sitting at 1,847 with 19/22 played.
Happy with my rookie choices on field but neale was poor and having gawn C was frustrating but seems like a lot of people in the same boat.
Looped sharp and highmore and very tempted to just take sharps 51 to avoid a possible poor score from highmore, would this be a silly thing to do? With the way rookies have scored so far I should probably just roll the dice

17/1672
Played: P Cripps, S Docherty, P Dow, J Short, J Macrae (C), J Dunkley, C Daniel, B Grundy, R Sloane, R Laird, J Clark, T Stewart, J Daniher, L Neale, J Impey, B Campbell and E Gulden (E)
Yet to play: J Ziebell, M Bergman, J Kelly, T Taranto and M Flynn
Very happy with my start considering E Gulden is currently the only player to score above 120+ as well as my structure which limited the amount of players from this draft class onfield and players priced under $200,000, meaning that I have avoided needing the likes of McNeil or Brockman. After opposing the idea of starting a loophole, I have buckled and replaced T Powell with M Hutchings to access the score from E Gulden. This should soon be rectified with Jordon or Powell replacing him at the end of RD2.
Ecstatic with my selection of R Sloane and hoping he can capitalise on their upcoming draw. As for Neale, he only started to feature in my side in the past week/fortnight replacing Oliver as I couldn’t find any moves I liked to use that spare $70,000.

17/1612 with the C on Gawn 
got the rookies even though they sit on the pine but that always happens so not to fussed its the Other selections that make me cranky for now - Cripps, Bont, Degoey, Danger (All we be ok by season end just wish i could get of to a flyer for once). Gawn well not sure on the whole ruck scoring but he will still be top ruck by season ends just means i paid overs for him thats all.

1840 (19 +C Zerrett) for me. Gaff, Ziebell and Powell to come. Hopefully can crawl to somewhere close to 2,100 which I'll be reasonably happy with as a start.
Started Gulden - tick. Brought in Saunders to take Rowe's score. The issue is I traded Impey to Saunders to do it. Watching Impey's first quarter at the game was harrowing but he slowed down in the second half. With the benefit of hindsight I should have gone HJones to Saunders and benched Impey. Another example of getting caught up in E loop excitement.
Started GG - meh. Got some thinking to do.
Captain Zerrett - passable given what the formerly "reliable" captain options served up.
Taking T. Stewart over Mills as my last premo back decision was annoying but I can't complain about a 113. The results in the backs confirmed my feeling that there are going to be a good number of viable premos on the DEF line and there'll be plenty of combinations that will do the job.

I'm leaning on not doing it.
Based on that it's not how you start the season, but it's the trading done during tha season, that makes you a SC winner.
It's only the 'bird in the hand......' that is tempting me.
Why do you think using up a trade is worth it, to get a non-player A.Fyfe, for Emergency Gulden's 139pts? (We don't know how high the player we are trading out will score hmmm.).

Just realised I didn't set Jones or Rowe EMG as my SC app was playing up (I was going to come back to it later). I fully expect Ziebell to be a late out now just to put the icing on the cake for this round.
Just to prevent any panic: there is absolutely nothing to suggest JZ will be a late out, this is purely theoretical. It would be just my luck though.
EDIT: On the plus side, if I had gone Rowe EMG, I might have been tempted to trade JZ to a donut to take the 104. The logical and level-headed me would never do that, so at least my mistake has removed any temptation to do so.
