Discussion 2022: Round 1 Teams & In Game Discussion

[bomberboy]

I thought I was seeing things but looks like Ben Rutten has lost the plot. Putting both your best inside-mid AND your best intercepting defender up forward. Good god

Also thought he'd lost the plot R1 last year. Might be a slow starter... hard when we're struggling for forward options. Gotta try something I guess.

Hoping that being cautious and not bringing in any FD will pay off - not that I was in a position to, but I've played it very safe re: expensive bench options. If COVID chaos is avoided for the year I'll absolutely be behind the 8 ball.

So at least now that Mummy has retired we’ve got another Ruckman who isn’t quite clear on the difference between 80’s and 20’s footy. 👌

Sour grapes post.

Parish 31 disps at 80%, only 1 Clanger ........ SC 80

Higgins 21 touches and a goal for 42 SC

It certainly does look like Dangerfield and Hawkins siphoned off all the points with their huge first quarters!

 

[Rowsus]

Higgins 21 touches and a goal for 42 SC

DE 59% ---- 9 Clangers!!!!

 

[Connoisseur]

would bont score just that with 5 goals, 27 touches and 10 marks in an 80 point loss?

But Martin didn't just score that?

Still 700-800 points left to allocate at the time of the member posting with post match scaling and adjustments to come likely in his favour.

 

[Misky]

Crisp and Ridley cost - $1M+ / points this round - barely scraping 130

Hayes and Martin cost - $204k / points this round - circa 240

Don’t mind a wake up call early season. But ****.

 

[mike89]

Think I've gotta take 96 from Stewart and run in a side that's absolutely dominated.

If SDK doesn't get up for next week though, that's a problem...

true, but would CD wait for scaling to give bont a score for that hehe

 

[Bermi]

Pre-scaling, 165 pts to be added.

Players I've passed on at F6:
Durdin (71)
Hayes (127)
Martin (76 and counting)

Who's ready for Rachele to put up a 25?

Oh don’t worry that’s why he’s on the bench at F7. If there’s one rule in Supercoach it’s that you sure can’t trust a rookie small forward!

 

[Herbie66]

No Hayes , no Martin

Is their a stat showing how many fielded them outright ?

 

[Rowsus]

It is what is.
It's swings and round-abouts.
I've still found it a bit perplexing how late stats (even a whole last qtr, if game one sided) are valued less, unless the game is on the line!
4-5 years ago saw Dusty take a contested mark, kick the goal, and get 6 SC points for his effort.
Richmond were only 14 points up with 5 mins to go when he did it.
If he did it in the 1st qtr he'd get 15-16 points.

‘everyone has those games, it’s a shame when it’s in the same round. Is there any serious reasons why these games isn’t just that random bad game?

 

[Herbie66]

Essendon getting thumped , why not throw Ridley forward for something different.

 

[Shannon]

Those selecting multiple loops to take advantage of the tons from Hayes and Martin, remember that scores in Round 1 hold the least relevance in the upcoming price changes as they only appear in one price cycle.

Very wise advice 👏👏👏

 

[Blue Bloods]

Not sure if the 4 premium plus Hewett is the go this year. Crisp and Ridley stinking up my team, Hewett not so much

 

[Rumbler]

Full-time scores (scaling to come)

Bugger! He did seem to be a bit handball happy at times. Hopefully he can score a bit better in the future, 31 disposals isn’t a bad thing.

 

[jobeywatto]

Xerri > Long, Hough > Rachele to get Martin's score. Dumb? After Steele C and Ridley's disgrace I need all the points I can get.

I'll likely get Hough back for Owens when he's dropped anyway.
