Discussion 2022: Round 1 Teams & In Game Discussion

[Rickwood]

Still getting the cobwebs out

9/961 with SDK as E in the first game. Should he score 70 I'll pit Sinn on the field and take Macrae's 133.
Back up is Touk against a depleted WCE

Missed a trick with the E for Hayes but have no one to swap with. Still getting the cobwebs out

Spent a little bit of time on my team and I am NOT gonna cry over decisions I have made. Have trades and future rounds to fix any glaring errors.

Folks you put hours worth of work into your teams and then you start second guessing over 3 games in round 1?
Is Hayes going to score 120 odd every week? No
Is English going to score 120 odd every week? No
Is Gawn going to score 92 every week? No
Is Steele going to score 89 every week? No
Is Crisp going to score 69 every week? No

Back you judgment, have a plan and don't react to limited data.

Peace out
Rick

Note to self - put the bloody E in all 4 lines!!
Martin rolling around without the E...

Half Time Scores
Round 1
( Sorry bout that with the score)

*** @ this scoreline.....

Martin has more possessions than Parish so far 😳

Add Parish to my list of failed picks for round 1....I legit can't believe this

 

[Wheedus]

The one upside for the Bombers at the moment is Martin has been able to show what he can do. Will be interesting if he holds his spot when Stringer is fit. He’s certainly putting forward a compelling case right now

 

[Wheedus]

Langford injury will prob help his cause

 

[Leroy]

Tell you what, Mitch McGovern could be on notice

Plenty of $102k forward rookies that look like passing 70 instead!

 

[Athomas]

Redman now hurt

Wonder if the Laverde injury has made a Ridley play more accountable/ lockdown?

Ridley looks his usual role to me. On Stengle mostly.

He had an intercept mark dropped which they counted as a clanger. I guess technically it was because he was uncontested, but was off balance, seemed harsh. Been ignored a few times and had a couple of average kicks.

I had Lloyd instead of him, so I blame Lloyd

It's interesting, isn't it? Certainly in my team all the safe picks have been the misses and the speculative picks have been the winners!

 

[30BucketsofRo]

Dons need to bring some bloody intensity this half. Zero pressure and composure so far and getting smacked around the field but especially through the midfield.
Piss poor to start the season - time to turn it around is now not round 2

 

[doc ron]

Thank goodness for the trade boost.

The 90's were pretty good! Pixies, Sonic Youth, Nirvana! Every generation has its quirky little pop songs that appeal to the 12-20 age group and no one else. I’m pretty sure Dance Monkey is going to be loathed in 20 years time too!

Oh hey, I agree. I was there with my work boots and flanny too The metal around the start of the decade was also phenomenal. But yeah... Spice Girls, right? (Though I won't hear a bad word about Baby Spice. We all had our secret favourite)

 

[Meltingpot38]

Just ignoring the score for the moment….

Focusing on that Martin over Baldwin last minute seems like the right choice!

 

[TopBillings]

Thank goodness for the trade boost.

Just to clarify what does it enable again?

 

[Rowsus]

Just watched all the team stats, marks, inside 50's, pressure level etc. roll across the bottom.
You'd swear this was a close match, and maybe Ess were some chance to hold a slender lead

Just shows, stats don't always tell the story!!!

 

[TopBillings]

Ridley very disappointing so far..

Curnow probably my biggest concern atm with Durdin/Martin on the bench

Gresh is interesting me he looks fit/has his agility back

 

[Connoisseur]

Just to clarify what does it enable again?

More rash decisions, overreactions and those trade itches to be satisfied.

 

[francis]

Cant watch the game. What's happening with Ridley, is he just having a bad game, role change or something?

 

[TopBillings]

More rash decisions, overreactions and those trade itches to be satisfied.

Patience is the key - learnt the hard way over the years

 

[Maccas marvels]

Is keeping Finn Maginness wothwhile or is downgrading to Hough a better solution?

I think so…. I’ve kept him. 3rd year player with dpp and only 143k… was a highly touted junior and think this year he gets a strong go at it….only thing might be not playing true midfield and playing a flank role

Hmmm
