Discussion 2021 Round 11: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Goodie's Guns]

A shame this game is over, as Highmore has finally been able to get on the end of some cheap footy.

A bit annoying all his kicks have only been 15m short ones.

 

[Kumamoto Ken]

Good thing Ziebell missed with that elbow

 

[Blaze]

junkmore!

 

[Lost In The Sky]

Is Hall okay, whats the bandaid on fan footy?

Yep he’s fine and running around... just got a goal assist as well

 

[lavenderbandit]

Yes Poulter & Waterman scores for Brockman & Marshall 🤔

Looks fine, you’ll just get the lower of Poulter and Waterman to cover Brockman as you’re loophole captain.

Edit: just read Herbie’s post and realised Marshall is out too, so yeah, you get both.

Thanks gents.

If you put your cursor over the bandaid symbol, it opens a pop-up to explain.
Basically it said "Hamstring Soreness".

That stupid free kick paid against Highmore when it should've been a tackle (and maybe HTB) probably cost him 10 points. Could've gotten a respectable 50 if it wasn't for that.

 

[Under The Dome]

Highmore + Steele 170 projected and finished on 186 so I will just look at it that way. Steele massive on debut carrying the duo.

Pre-Scaling
Still 108 points to scale up.

 

[Wheedus]

Massive from Captain Jack

Me too.

Me third, nearly picked Steele, but went Cerra for value

Yeah, I usually do that too, but he was one of my rookie PODs, so needed him to score decently. It is a bit unreasonable to expect rookies to carry my team in the end.
Highmore was only 10 points or so off Murphy, who was my other def rookie. Will be interesting to see what Jones ends up with. If it's the difference between H2H wins it will be annoying, but, mea culpa.

It's not your stinginess at all, it's simply that our Rookies are not making enough cash to complete our teams with premiums.
I took Cerra this week instead of Zorko, as I fear that I may not complete my team.

No... it's me being stingy, do not have that problem, I'm just saving a trade by taking cheaper options instead of Zorko and Steele, got 3 upgrades, one of which is Cumming, to go so it's me

I have no idea why North play both Hall and Ziebell in the back line together. Great for SC, but just seems complete overkill loading all your elite kicks in the back line, especially when neither are actually that good at defending. No wonder they can't move it past half way.

You could have 12 of the best kicks in the league, when Tom Campbell is your clear best forward target followed by Nick Larkey you're going to look awful trying to get past half way. Kangas actually have an alright group in the middle and back half but their forwards are up there with the worst I've ever seen.

Just to honour the fact im having a good week, id like to share the main reason that it is possible

The question is whether the better play is Cerra now, or just push as hard as you can now, and end up with someone like a Rozee or Burton (to pick a couple of players who I could be convinced of) later as the only player you have left who you can afford.

I don't know the answer.

 

[Under The Dome]

Keeping one eye on Zac Smith and the other on Reeves tonight.

 

[whydoihavetoo]

Cant wait until lock out when my round 5 plan to get Steele in finally happens. Surley this is the week!

That's just it, we don't know the answer, so we make a decision and hope it's the right one.
I mainly took Cerra instead of Zorko because I wanted to build my bank up for the Bye rounds. Not happy that Zorko scored so well, but I am hoping his scoring will go down when Neale comes into the team, and that could be soon.

 

[Grundogging]

Didn't he hurt his neck at training 5-6 years ago and was out for a few weeks that time ?

Yeah he had a nerve-related thing in his neck but it was only 2-3 years ago I think. From the sounds of things they are being ultra-cautious with it so fingers crossed it's not too bad this time.
