Ziebell, Powell, Flynn, and Hunter to come. Managed to avoid Gawndy, but had Neale. Hoping for 2150 But looking unlikely

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?

Danger gets 3 weeks, do you hold and trust one of the rookies can get 80+.?

Rose looks lively works up the field nice and has lots of run. And Jones well moves great, but the set shot ...my goodness one of the worst I’ve have seen. Turner also looks like he has an 80+ game. Fullerton is a bench warmer and will stay there until I move him on.

 

[Vicwood]

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.).

I attempting to fool myself onto believing I have nailed the bench rookies.
only because I have two “hundreds” on the bench mocking me.

Had Gulden on the field for the past 2 weeks only to shift him when Powel got named. Rowe, well never saw that happening. Now just hoping Danger only gets a week.......

And Jones well moves great, but the set shot ...my goodness one of the worst I’ve have seen.

I've seen one that's about on par. He used to play in the same team, and his name is Joe D.
So frustrating. He looks promising. Hopefully first game nerves with the set shots.

What frustrated me just as much as dropping a 40 point lead and losing by a point, is that we should have been 60 points up with all the shots we missed, including Jones 3 set shots. Worst set shot for goal team in Australia. How I miss Lloyd and Lucas.

I gather Rose is meant to be Rowe , is Turner actually Kayne Turner or another Forward rookie ?

Ziebell, Taranto, Highmore and T Kelly to come

If Dangerfield gets 2 weeks I'm leaning to trading him out because the only reason I favoured expensive Dangerfield was because he will be getting more midfield time and some easy games coming up. Doesn't look like it's happening. Also, i was reluctant to have him was because I always had the FOGI (Fear Of Getting Injured) with him, being 30yo and had a groin injury. This report is making my decision easier to trade him out. I see it as a correction trade.

What’s everyone think a par score is looking like for this round?

B Grundy:
HTA: 10/39

Hi Connoisseur, was hoping you could direct me to where I can find distance covered by then players during the game.

I gather Rose is meant to be Rowe , is Turner actually Kayne Turner or another Forward rookie ?

My bad, still distress from the 2 hundreds from sitting bench rookies.

Yes Rowe and Warner.

Been awake since 4am reviewing games looking at scoring trends against positions, plotting trades ....think I have a SC issue.

Heeny.?

I had a dream I scored 2140. I'd be very happy with that.

With popular Premo/Captain choices not firing, and big scoring rookie raffle, I'd guess going to be 2200 or so???

(That might be the higher end of the scale according to @Connoisseur )

 

[BC]

Tonights mood will be proudly brought to you by this bloke.

 

[Connoisseur]

1950-2050.

 

[Bellsy]

18/1726 Zerrett (c). Tossed up between Neale and Gawn for captain and then decided on Merrett. I’ll take any small win I can get lol. Wasn’t going too bad but Neale, Cox and Brockman on field last night stuffed me. Lucky I had Gulden on field to soften the blow a little.

LDU, Butters, Ziebell and Powell to come. Would love to sneak 2100 but in all honestly will be just happy to be over 2000 at this point.

 

[Peter56]

Thanks for the scores @Peter56 !!!

Wow, not sure why I played Berry over Gulden, terrible decision. Pity I took Mills out of my side a week ago for Short who I dropped for Cripps

Not sure it matters though...

HAWKS BEAT THE BOMBERS BY 1 POINT!!!!!

Thanks
Boo

 

[Peter56]

I love the first round and picking rookies...

My on field forward and mids averaging 55.8, my bench forwards and mids averaging 95. This is why I don't play roulette

Know exactly how you feel

 

[Ironhawk]

What’s everyone think a par score is looking like for this round?

Based on people's scores posted here, 2050ish should be around the mark. There's likely to be a lot in the 1900's though who missed key rookies, which should still be OK compared to the rest of the competition.

 

[Tranterpants]

17/1727 Gawn C
Still got Ziebell, Powell, Jelly, Highmore, Rowell
Did well with Rowe & Gulden on field but letdown by Gawndy, Howe (maybe wrong Pies back?) and Danger (just play him in the mid Scott!)
Hopefully scratch a 21xx?!

 

[WindyHillWizard]

1,746 with Ziebel, Powell, Bergman and Highmore to come. Hoping to crack 2K.
Had both Rowe and Berry on field, so was feeling good late yesterday afternoon, but Gulden on the bench with no E really hurts, together with Neale, Gawn and Grundy no firing.
Danger could be a big talking point later today if he gets 2+ weeks.
