Discussion 2023 Round 3: Teams & In Game Discussion

Has Hopper got a history of knee issues?

No. looking through his Bio on footywire, he had injuries at the start of his career at GWS (back, finger, rolled ankle) but no mention of knees.

I thought the same thing, and then I thought, maybe it's Brennan Cox...and did they know something we didn't before round 1? lol

I think that all it shows is Collingwood are flying, and hence those who might have an inbuilt preference for Collingwood players at the start have benefitted. It will likely balance out over time I reckon.....or we'll all end up with a lot of Collingwood players!

Last year was his knee and had surgery multiple times on the knee for different problems. Richmond kept his loads down in the o***eason with a break midweek.

Rozee is about to drop a 140+ on the Crows.

I know, right? And his draw right through to round 18 at least is kinda light on for opposition midfields. Even Geelong doesn't look as fearsome with Selwood gone and Danger looking a little old.

Bah! I don't have enough keepers to be splitting what I have into 5th and 6th midpricers. I can't afford 2 of LDU, Daicos, Ziebell and Setterfield. Happy to ditch Macrae and Flanders. Probably Chesser. Hollands is a decent enough consolation prize

I know which ever way I go I'll be cursing my decision. Fact is I'm only confident now on having 10 keepers with Green and Gulden looking the goods and Young and Richards showing only a little and I'm sideways trading Macrae for LDU or Daicos - probably the latter. Geez Setterfield looks good in my mids but he's not fixing my looming keeper crisis.... And Hollands should make me similar cash.

*sigh* Hurry up with the lockout already!

 

[All is Wells]

Nope MC. Gives me hope that a stack of teams ahead of me are very catchable, and if I don’t panic trade too often too early, I'll run them down. Good reminder not to sideways trade and chase last week's points

I've noticed the top 1%, 5% and 10% stats regularly glitch and give results that are just plain incorrect. Most seem accurate but just then i sorted by top 5% ownership and Bowes at 50.2%, Ash Johnson at 22.4% and Wardlaw at 22.4% are clearly wrong. Noticed its sometimes the case for BBL supercoach too and has happened over a few seasons now.

Appears footy wire isn't as comprehensive as I'd hoped.

This sucks. I did not want to make the move onto Cameron but now it honestly feels foolish not to.

Playing devil’s advocate here, if DC is solo ruck, wouldn’t that mean higher potential for injury? I’m not familiar with Collingwood’s backup rucks beyond Mason Cox, but assume they would be fairly thin and cause a much higher rate of ruck contests for DC.

 

[Vicwood]

What's the concern on Rozee? Have I missed something?

Nothing , just want to get Zieball and Setters.

Zieball could average the the same and has keeper potential at F6 and Setters i want for Cash generation.

 

[Vicwood]

Ugh, you had to mention trading Rozee didn't you

Now I can afford Setterfield, ZB and Daicos. For Macrae, Rozee and Flanders. The 200k extra leaves we with 246k to look at Bowes and Kozzie in the next 2 weeks. Bytel perhaps. Means I miss out on Hollands and have to keep Chesser for another week at least.

How's my MPM though? Setterfield, Worpel, Hopper, JHF and Ziebell. The madness.... the madness.... Getting very low on keepers too with 6 trades already burned. Thinking it leaves me very little for any slingshotting at the byes and I'm heavily exposed in round 15.

Most likey take the long game plan and Chandler comes in this week for Chesser. But then the concern is Chandler getting the sub vest.?

At least Zieball and Setters willl get a ful game the next few weeks.

40K ranking, if i dont make some changes its a long season for a 10k ranking.

Has there been any talk this Cox injury is long term?
I'm perplexed by all these people, who maybe weren't considering Cameron, are jumping on because Cox is out.
You don't trade in players you weren't really considering because of 1 games perceived advantage. If you didn't like Cameron too much, why change that opinion because Cox is missing 1 game?

 

[Rowsus]

Something has gone awry there. Notice he doesn't have the % split for playing / bench. He's the only one in the list that doesn't have that data.

According to https://supercoachdata.com/SCAFL/ Mason Cox is in 4 of the top 5,888 teams.

....... and this why you shouldn't pay for SC Gold!!!!! So unreliable!!!!

I reckon Finn will go to Ziebell

The question was basically framed "Will Finn tag LDU?" and Mitchell talked up LDU, then said there's players like Sheezel and some others that are really important to North.

Would be great if Finn tagged LDU but feel like he doesn't want Finn in the midfield mix. Would need to drop a mid (Mackenzie?) to give me more confidence the tag is going to LDU.

In truth I feel just about every man and his dog liked Cameron over the off season but were scared off by Cox ruck split (Which as some said in the preseason, isn't even that much of a big deal for Cameron anyway).

So really it's just a bunch of people with Sean Darcy or Gawn considering a player they really liked anyway but were unsure of.

I can't stomach giving Murdoch more money, the ad revenue he makes from my constant supercoach clicking is enough to sicken me as is

I was on Cameron before. I had him in my starting team and changed at the last minute. Cox out would seem to be a good thing for him, but he was scoring well anyway. I do have the money for English, but I think I want to take advantage of the extra cash.

I'm happy to wait till Monday afternoon for them to be up on tooserious.net
