Discussion 2023 Round 2: Teams & In Game Discussion
- Thread starter KLo30
- Start date
It’s been a tough start for many of us, myself included.
Those that went Stewart > Doch would be feeling very frustrated I completely understand.
I am frustrated but more annoyed at myself for taking Bruhn despite my reservations… but no point dwelling on it, time to move on & make a plan going fwd. It’s impossible to pick a perfect starting side & things happen that you can’t expect - just have to roll with the punches & be fluid with your trading process.
If you have had a poor start like myself, set yourself some short, medium & long term goals, see the position you are in as a challenge.
My ranking is 45,050 currently, I still believe I will finish in the top 1000 which is always my first goal.
Long way to go, this game can be a real roller coaster. Keep your chin up & keep on trucking, things will turn around - just need to be patient 👍

Ultimately, we have NO control over how well players score, we can have informed calls on form and previous games, but it’s all speculation. Sometimes it’s the way the cookie crumbles. For eg. I finished in top1000 in 2020, frequent this forum consistently and after 1 game, I’m 72,000ish overall.. due to C on Laird (we can’t control the weather) Stewart going down (we can’t control the way his knee reacts to the surface). All we can do is make choices we think could work.
For eg. After 1 round I’m nowhere near saying season over.. I’m asking myself “do I have the best rookies?” One week at a time..
Plus at this point in the season, anything is possible. It’s not insurmountable at all. Best of luck for everyone for Rd2!

Yes after RD 2 those of us with 30,000 plus rannking should consider some unpopular VC options and hope they go Large.. All this talk about winning the SC Competition is a bit like a dog chasing its tail. I know going into the start of the season, i have next to no chance of winning, my goal for this year is to try to get into the top 2000, at years end, and win the H2H match ups. Plus its fun talking footy.....
Another Good Match Up for Friday NIght ....should be enjoyable to watch.
Good Luck Coaches.....

Agree with you 100%
If you traded in Docherty for Stewart and Docherty averages 115 for the rest of the year (even with the score of 73) then it’s not an error but a great trade.
To illustrate this, if Docherty scores 73, 120, 120, 120, it is the same as 120, 120, 120, 73
Naturally, it sucks when you traded in Docherty 73 after a Stewart injury.
However, if Docherty is a premium keeper then it makes no difference the order of his scores unless the drop in score allows others to get Docherty at a lower price which doesn’t appear to be the case here as there would not be enough cash generated yet to take advantage of this.
FWIW I have both Stewart and Docherty in my starting team 😂🤣 and yes it’s annoying 😂😂
Having/had Docherty/Stewart is not fun but it’s Friday everyone which is always a great day.

He played well, but I doubt we see such a good ratio for him each week. Ended up on 77 AF and 108 SC. This was mainly because he went at 80% DE plus had more contested possessions than uncontested. I doubt he is able to maintain that sort of ratio and expect him to fail to average enough to be a keeper.
However, if picking him as a stepping stone to a keeper then there’s certainly merit in that as he has the potential of making 150k in a similar sort of time period as a rookie priced player whilst likely providing much better on field scores than a rookie priced player.
