Discussion 2023 Round 4: Teams & In Game Discussion

[aj74]

Sort of hard to believe the Big O only scored 108.
Just goes to show, you may not have a recognised opponent, but you still need to produce quality, not just quantity, to post a good score!

A lot got made of the ruck situation but it didn't amount to the clearance dominance we expected. -9 is a solid loss but much closer than it could have been, especially with Titch being well held. What really hurt was putting our last real remaining forward tall in the ruck and then spending half the night bombing it to a bunch of 6 footers. Forget McInerny. I'm surprised Andrews and co didn't tonne up.

We had more I50s and shots on goal but Brisbane had the far better quality entries. Some of our defending was real entry level stuff. While Cameron, Joe and Rayner had nights out.

I don't know what that 2nd quarter was about but it's hopefully woken them up a bit and reminded them that our game relies in pressure more than fancy little double handed taps and Hollywood stuff.

We can't afford to have Elliott, Crisp, Titch and Sidey that far off their tucker. They were putrid tonight. Sidebottom in particular looked like he'd been on the bongs.

11.17 this week after 8.15 last week. A bit frustrating! Still better than the Buckley years

 

[Old Big 'Ead]

4/396 Will rue taking that VC off Naicos

 

[Feerits Elf]

Daicos now outright favourite for the Brownlow

Admittedly hard to see how he picks up 3 votes in a losing team with McInerney doing what he wanted in the ruck and Cameron and Rayner kicking 10 between them, but it wouldn't be the first time Brownlow votes had surprised me

 

[Toothless Tigers]

5/446

N. Daicos, Dunkley (VC), Ashcroft, McKenna & Wilmot.

Has Neale impacted Dunkley scoring potential and vice versa?

 

[Impromptu]

4/547 Daicos

 

[BomberSam]

5/597 Daicos

Or 4/547 if I opt for Cowan over Wilmot (50).

 

[Feerits Elf]

Has Neale impacted Dunkley scoring potential and vice versa?

Neale is 2 months shy of turning 30 and is naturally on the decline

Dunkley is averaging 104 after averaging 104, 103 and 108 in his final 3 seasons with the Dogs

 

[tso]

4/360

Could play Cowan instead of Wilmot but 51 is his top score so don't seem worth it.

 

[Foxy's Fe-Lions]

Can't believe the mad man did it. I should've definitely VC'd 😂

Can't believe the mad man did it. I should've definitely purchased

 

[aj74]

5/597 Daicos VC Wilmot E
McKenna, Dunkley, Ashcroft

 

[Uncle Drew]

Daicos now outright favourite for the Brownlow

Admittedly hard to see how he picks up 3 votes in a losing team with McInerney doing what he wanted in the ruck and Cameron and Rayner kicking 10 between them, but it wouldn't be the first time Brownlow votes had surprised me

Best case he gets 1 tonight, 1 in R3 (0 more likely), 3 in R2 and 2 in R1, for a total of 7 votes in 4 games. A good start for sure, but certainly not outright favourite material. Cripps and Oliver would be on a similar total after only 3 games and that's without taking the best case scenario. I think the punters are getting a bit too caught up in the Daicos hype.

My count, prior to tonight:

 

[HoleyFrijole$]

547 / 4 (Daicos)
Wilmot E - will probably see if Cowan can outscore 50.

 

[HoleyFrijole$]

4/360

Could play Cowan instead of Wilmot but 51 is his top score so don't seem worth it.

On the flip side, his lowest un-subbed score is 51, so might be worth a crack at a spike score

 

[HoleyFrijole$]

4/396
or
5/446 with Wilmot.

Cowan locks out before Sunday's 22 is named.

Constable not in the emergencies

I thought Elliott played well just didnt finsh off the job by converting?
Afree with the other 3 were well below par!

 

[Under The Dome]

Constable not in the emergencies

Yeh I have to decide if I take Wilmot, field Cowan or go through with some trades that keep both on the bench.

Trade ins and trade outs aren't fully named yet.

 

[Herbie66]

Ended up trading Cameron - > Phillips

5/460

 

[ACmonster]

Will field Cowan over Wilmot. Normally minimal downside, with the advantage of retaining cover in case there are any late outs amongst my defenders.

 

[Under The Dome]

Anyone see the McKenna on Hill incident? Was there much in it to warrant a suspension?
