Discussion 2022 Round 8: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Rickwood]

For Sh1ts and giggles I have $20 on the lions to win by 200 + and 5 to win by 300+

 

[OnTopBar]

Agreed - a trade out for me, not hanging around over the next few weeks for him to get back on the paddock.

Think I'll see how SDK goes, anything over 70 and I'll hold pending next week.

 

[Lost In The Sky]

That's a really good point, wonder what the reasoning is there? If there's listed players available they should be playing for sure.

Don't agree with that at all.... And that's not how it works.

At not just our club... but all clubs. There a handful of very young, inexperienced kids who just simply aren't ready to play senior footy without a few additional pre-season's under the belt... the classic "Project" player.

As I stated above... We have selected all available midfield listed players. We needed another midfielder to play hence Florenca's selection.

The Jamieson selection over Dixon is a totally different issue. That was a choice over which "Tall" we wanted to play in the ruck.

I wouldn't have agreed with bringing in a WAFL top-up ruck, when we have 2-3 listed available player who could play that position.

 

[Herbie66]

So do they have to play all of those 22 first ? or can the top ups play before those listed ?

EDIT : Just reread the AFL release on the H & S protocol (March 8th)

"Clubs must prioritise the selection of AFL listed players where reasonable"

Article was actually worth reading

I don't think it was so much about some players not being ready (we clearly saw that against North) but what the rules actually said. I was under the impression that they had to use all their listed players first but that "where reasonable" caveat probably covers the situation the Eagles find themselves in right now.

Doesn’t seem reasonable to me from an SC perspective

So he's fine to travel as an emergency/medi-sub possibly but not play is what you're saying

I'm saying he's clearly going to be playing as the sub... as he should be, over playing another Covid top-up player.

Jamieson over Dixon was a choice over which "Tall" we wanted to play in the ruck in our first 22.

I wouldn't have agreed with bringing in a WAFL top-up ruck, when we have 2-3 listed available players who could play that position.

It's actually not that hard to understand.

5 players n Port v Dogs game, could be 6 if Hayes tons up

What happens if Hayes scores 99?

Dixon cannot even make the bench.

What is going on at WCE.

 

[Tamuhawk]

Lmao Dixon.

Can't even get a game over a top up player. 🤣

 

[Zimmer]

Was he another one at the Discotech?

 

[whiteTiga2k]

Man I hold O'Driscall plays well. I can't loop other players so hoping he kills it.

Get some money regen back

[Vicwood]

Could be the sub. If he can't get into this best 22 he's pretty much done for sc.

Yeap. Cannot understand this.

 

[freowho]

Why is it a 7:30pm start in Adelaide? I need more to not make a decision.

 

[Borris]

Here I was thinking it’d be a week where we can get away with fielding Dixon 🤦🏻‍♂️
