Discussion 2021 Round 5: Teams & In Game Discussion

[McLovin]

15/1424 or 15/1570 (Macrae) if Clark's not the medical sub tomorrow.
I didn't put the C on Sharp in time so Scott better not screw me over for the umpteenth time this season.

Really up and down round for me. Ridley and Bailey (big miss on him, not sure what to do there) awful, rookies average. Taranto, Mills, Short and new recruit Bowes all disappointing. At least I know Bowes' 75 is still 75 more than the donut I'd be fielding if I'd held Daniel or traded him to a player on another line. On the upside I've got big scores from Neale, Dunkley, Macrae, Walsh, Merrett and Daniher keeping me afloat. It's hard keeping the faith on players like Daniher (see Clark for the alternative), but the payoff's great if it goes your way.

My score could still go anywhere with 7 to come tomorrow including 4 rookies, one of whom is Treacy.

12/1179 Macrae

Was all going well until...

Ridley
Cox
Waterman (traded to from Daniher )

@Goodie's Guns

Any mail if Brockman is the sub tomorrow?

Need him to miss so he can be my captain loophole this week after Macrae’s big score

Officially noted as being "managed" in the news flash on Sunday teams, so I'd guess it's safe to put the C on him.

Personally I also have Meek sitting there but I'll be getting a bit twitchy if he somehow gets a game (not so bad in the end I guess as I'm currently eyeing a donut at R2) and it comes down to a last-minute wait for Brockman to be an actual confirmed omission.

13c / 1252

 

[Dukez]

Brockman and cousins both named in the vfl, I’m 95% sure the sub comes from one of those 2, ceglar and Hartley the other 2 emergency’s...... box hills team will be finalised at 11.35 so we will know exactly who the sub will be

Same, him being out means I get to take Scott's 61 + Macrae's VC

 

[Shannon]

Oh dear ...

Not sure why you would trade Neale after holding till this point

Exactly. It's why I'm torn on Jelly....but I don't want a forward pocket in my mids.

 

[Courtesans]

11/1254 Macrae with a BL donut but.

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Been out all night and missed the Ridley injury... how serious is it? Is it short term or long term?

Oh yeah - 1161/11 C (Macrae)

Who takes a screenshot of their trade before making it? And 'hall of fame' is a little over the top.

Lol.

 

[Tamuhawk]

Just looks to be a concussion. So will miss the ANZAC Day game but should be back the week after.

 

[Blaze]

1217/12 Macrae... ridley hurting...fixing my rucks good with Grawndy helping ease the pain

Laird, Freoshaw, Rowe, Chapman, Gawn, Kozi, Jordon, Zieball, Powell, Stewart playing on Sunday....what could possibli go wrong!

Defensive dramas and trade dilemmas aplenty next week....

Highmore playing next week would be useful....oh he plays 6pm sunday great

Shall i trade in jones.....oh he plays 6pm Sunday great

Will Kozi play....oh he plays sunday great😬

 

[Spifflicator]

12/1281 with Macrae VC taken. Ridley hurts, but hey what can you do. Daniher is this weeks star, with my plans to trade him next week for Titch, now torn up. Campbell may get the bullet instead, and will have to see if Neale has bottomed out.
edit: Neale should have a BE of 105ish, so very attractive trade in option

 

[Crowls]

10/1214 Macrae VC. Possibility of 2200 plus which is likely to be above par this weekend. Tossed up Hickey or straight to Gawn and went Gawn. Brought in Chapman for Daniel and have Kosi backing up Clarke. Brockman c and he was named on the field in VFL so should be fine.
Danger, Oliver,GAwn Laird, Impey Stewart Ziebell / Chapman, Berry, Kosi, Rowe, Powell to come. No 20's on the field this week which is a blessing.

 

[NT.Thunder]

1260 with Gawn (C), Stewart, Chapman, Laird, Powell, Jordon, Ziebell and Impey to come

Macrae VC but I'll roll the dice......which is code for screwed up Capt loophole.

 

[Ormos]

14/1331 - another brutal week with Degoey, Ridley and a ruck donut....

On the flip side, Merritt, Walsh, dunkley and Daniher took the sting out last night.

Hopefully won’t lose to much ground and cover weave some magic next week

 

[IDIG]

1048/11

Still half my team to play

Laird, Jiath, Chappy
Titch, Berry
Gawn (c), ROB
Phillips, JZ, Impey, Rowe

 

[Creeker]

11 / 1147.

The Good - Macrae (C), Dunks, Merrett, Grundy.

The Bad - Dusty, Short, Crisp, Scott, Gulden.

The Ugly - Ridley, Waterman.

Yep, trades worked a treat, Daniel to Ridley and Campbell to Waterman. Was so close to going with option 2, Daniel to Jiath and Campbell to Heppell. (such a fun game this.)

Laird, Tex, Berry, Gawn, Mitchell, Impey, Kosi, Powell, Ziebell, Stewart and Atkins to play.

 

[Shaunpro1]

Im not surprised Clark was dropped, Salem,Rich and Impey/CJ have ran rings around us and they have often been his direct opponent, hes just not any good playing that role.
