Dammit Cripps, not this again...



Side note: Great to be back here with you legends for another season of torture Supercoach. Loving this thread and all the preseason discussion and banter!

Only way I can really see him fitting is downgrading an uber mid to him, and really not sure I want to be doing that.

Was going to put that down but I was to ashamed to admit that I had even thought along those lines.

Could you improve another player by doing that? (one of the 250k players into a 400k)

I have looked but there is not a lot of cheap rookies. But now we have Hayes and Dixon I will revisit it.

Can you list the soft tissue injuries? I think the number is actually zero.

All of his injuries are contact/collision based. You can add a PCL to the ones you listed above. Likely some ribs in there as well, but clubs will always hide that. He had stress-related issues with his back in his first season, but a lot of tall kids struggle with that until they grow into their body.

In the 7 years since, he has missed a total of 14 games. 7 of those were in 2017 with the broken leg, after being kicked in the back of the calf. The key is working out when he is continuing to play when he shouldn't and jumping off if it appears to be a mid to long term issue.

I think with 35 trades Im alot more likely to take the risk with him, really if he broke down mid year and made you 100k with decent scoring to that point he wouldn't have been that bad of a pick.

Jake bowey played pretty well last night. Anyone considering him?

Melb were missing a few of their defenders? Hard to know where he fits. Others would have a better take.

Yeah, as PC mentioned, both Salem and Hibberd weren't playing last night which likely contributed to Bowey's higher than normal score.

I'm not considering him especially with a heap of players around or below his price which look to be better options.

 

[Eagling]

Cripps was barely able to move last year, fit for now he has to be on our radar.

Some scores from last to look at
Will post scores tonight if people want , Qtr by Qtr or just a final one not a problem if so
Durdin went of in second Qtr with a left calf injury and then subbed of at half time.

The new AFL website is a pain in the arse. Basic stats, advanced stats, none of the names line up on a spreadsheet. Any tips on how to copy and paste all the information or is anyone planning on putting it all together for the community anyway? Save an old man a lot of frustration.

Kennedy is a problem for Hewett. The idea of Hewett is a nice one and I don't think he'll ruin anyone's year but I get the feeling he'll be just a little bit disappointing. Like Taranto last year.

 

[Courtesans]

I like it. Been a gift over some years for rookies to play rd 1. A wealth of options to consider if they are not there in the cheap mid range to kick off.

I like the lack of rookies. Makes it more "fun"!

Will Hewett play in defence and mids , surely when walsh comes back things will be changed , might be a little crowded when everyone is available

I'm not sure how mauch better Hewett could play compared to last night, I actually thought he was really good so for me that was close to his ceiling especially with Walsh to come back.

Do people think Docherty will affect McGovern, I didn't realise McGovern was so cheap? These $270k - $200k players look thick this season.

Hewett attended the 2nd most CBA's of all Carlton midfielders last night, only behind SC lock P Cripps.

Strong chance that even when Walsh returns, Hewett remains a part of the main midfield rotation.

Also - if anyone who has a spare league available that has solid rankings and will not sail a ghost ship midway through the season (because we will find you) - a few of us 'older rockers' are looking to fill the last couple of spots. Solid coaches, been #1 League several times *disclaimer - some time ago but PM me

Cripps 21% ownership. Think it was 11% before yesterday.

I think a lot of folks have realised he has more upside than a Sicily or Heeney for the same price.
