Discussion 2021 Round 2: Teams & In Game Discussion

[dicksilverman]

I’m sure all of us non Neale owners would’ve taken two 70 scores in the first two rounds and ran. He’s going to lose 100+k pretty fast. Hoping he drops below 600k by round 6 and he’s the perfect upgrade target

his record against his first few opponents was poor. I didn’t trust these stats and got him in. Now I’ll trade him as a correction and bring him in later. Well done to those who avoided him.

I don't have Neale but to be fair a few of the touches he got at the end were effective hard ball gets. Those are gold and probably worth 10 each. He got lucky to score what he did but in close games the scoring can be crazy. Stewart went from 63 to 88 from just one mark and kick.

Brisbane were dominating Geelong 6 frees in a row, Smith deliberately kicks the ball to the boundary, and Scott has a sook when Brisbane get a free and then that no holding ball in the goal square, if I was Lions supporter I would of thrown the remote at the TV

Neale had a tough opening draw with some of his worst career averages against the first 3 sides he was to face in 2021. So another mediocre score could loom against the Pies next week who he has only averaged 88pts against ... albeit many of those as a Docker.

It was one of the primary reasons I didn't start him along with the interrupted preseason and paying absolute top dollar. Thought I could get him cheaper midseason but geez didn't expect it would be THIS much cheaper, even with the CD bail out tonight.

 

[Gruffles]

Which of Neale and Cripps would you trade out if only one had to go?

Who's got that both gif?

The worst part is I had read this information and still selected him!
A real Homer Simpson moment by me, DOHHH!

I can't believe i still have to wait for the team announcements tomorrow to see if i can loophole grundy. (Captain McNeil - step up buddy)!

Bailey lifted to a decent score after a slower start. Would have preferred a bit more from Clark, but he won't lose cash with that score. Could be worse, I almost started Neale.

The 2 holding the ball decisions involving Bailey in the last 5 minutes were an absolute disgrace. Gets pinged on the Geelong 50 when he had no prior opportunity at all, then doesn't get the one for the tackle that would have won the game.

AFL needs to be changed to UFL - Umpire F**king Lotto.

That was a farce.

 

[Dazza]

Sharp definitely going to be a floating 🍩

 

[NT.Thunder]

Anyone know why Neale was a late out?

 

[baz_machine]

Neale's HB were basically worth 10 points each, kinda iffy when you think about it

Scaling going to scale.

When games are uber close in the last 5 mins, the scoring basically goes x3-4 bananas

Zorko 11 points behind Neale at FT.
Very very harsh if you ask me.
Watching the whole game, I know who played better and had more of an impact.

Zorko was on 88 and got punished 24 points for that free against, 50m which resulted in a goal.

I’m also a Zorko owner ☹️

 

[Ricky Bobby]

465/5 - not happy with Neil (vc) but lucky enough to have Sharp on the bench, so will take that as a small win 😒

This is the other poor umpiring decision which has been overlooked due to the final seconds howler. Not sure why there was 50m there 🤨

4/527 Grundy vc looped

 

[Bellsy]

Just checked 3/225. To keep or trade Neale is the question?
