Discussion 2023 Round 3: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Ben's Beasts]

I have all 4 Rookies, now I'll have to add alternative trade plans D, E, & F. I hope Bytel plays.

Brisbane Lions defender Keidean Coleman (AF $672k SC $479k DEF) is available for Thursday night’s clash against the Western Bulldogs after missing last week due to concussion. Callum Ah Chee (AF $430k SC $293k MID) is also available for selection after playing VFL last week, with both Coleman and Ah Chee’s potential inclusions possibly affecting Darcy Wilmot (AF $257k SC $124k DEF) and Conor McKenna’s (AF $415k SC $ 168k DEF) selection for this week.

In Gold Coast’s injury report, Sean Lemmens (AF $469k SC $321k DEF) is available for selection, while Wil Powell (AF $530k SC $425k DEF) is also available after playing a half of football in the VFL last weekend. This could potentially impact the selection of Bodhi Uwland (AF $257k SC $124k D/M) and Charlie Constable (AF $422k SC $124k D/M).

Coleman likely to come in for one of Joyce/Fort. Doubt Ah Chee plays.

Likely that one at most come in out of Lemmens and Powell. Uwland and/or Fiorini the most likely to make way.

Personally think McKenna is safe as houses. While Wilmot and Constable are reasonably safe too.

Thanks, that's reassuring.
Agree that Uwland would be the most likely not to play, he is priced lower then Bytel, which means I won't have enough money to do some planned trades. So I'll have to have a plan D for him.

Not if Beveridge plays Macrae forward like last week.

Jack Macrae averages 120 from his last 8 games vs the Lions. He averages more disposals against them than anyone else (33.4).

Looks like a man with two big balls....

Sandy boys back together. I'd forgotten that Setterfield was the same draft as McGrath. Sandringham well represented in the 2016 draft!

Does this mean Essendon got picks 1 and 5 in that draft? 😂

Apparently Dodo was right into Setterfield from the draft, tried to get him when he went to Carlton and then obviously finally got him.
For once, it seems, his problem of falling in love with players and not giving up paid off.

Doesn't matter if his coach now moves him out of the midfield.

What are people's thoughts on Neale?
Only a small sample size so far, but his basic stats (K/H/M/T) per game are down from last year.
Is having Dunkley in the team and the rise of Ashcroft taking away from Neale, or is he just having a quiet start?

Not sure on the answer yet, but happy to swap him to LDU this week, and see what price he is around the byes with regard to getting him back in if showing signs of good form.

Arthur Jones. Sounds like a player from the 1920’s not the 2020’s🥸

My dads name. He was born in 1927. Unfortunately, no longer with us.

 

[doc ron]

Playing the same role where he went huge at the start of 2021. Can't trust Chris Scott though.

Don't trust any coach with the surname Scott.

Even better. We're going to get all of his good footy

Think I'll hold and reassess if he doesn't make it back the following week. Plenty of cover options with DPP this week. Knee rather than ankle is a bit of a concern though

Considering going aggressive and turfing him for Setters. Most years I usually trade only when it’s necessary, but looking to go hard early this year

 

[Courtesans]

Hopper out makes Chesser handy. Swap him with Ginbey play Ginbey in place of Hopper and bring Wilmot onto the field.

Can also take a look at Wilmot and Baker on Friday

Yeah I am going to do the same. I was always trading Chesser to Setters and would have benched one of Callaghan or Mackenzie so they just stay on for another week now. Hopefully Hopper comes back next week.

I did contemplate this if it meant being able to get all three of Ziebell, DC and Daicos but even with the $$$ I have in the bank I'm about $50k short so I'll just wait and see.

Hopper presents a curly one.
