Discussion 2023 Round 5: Team & In Game Discussion

[Shannon]

4/588 (Laird)

Decent start to a round for a change.

 

[Russty_]

3/508 Laird x 2, Lloyd and Taranto

 

[Miller is a Steele]

6/822 Dawson
Dawson VC 152X2
Laird 135
Taranto 115
Hopper 115
Gulden 88
Hollands E 65
Bench:
Ryan 56
Cowan 42

Happy with that. Gulden a bit disappointing but his floor looks much better than last year. With his ceiling, I think he’ll still go 100-105. I’m taking Hollands over Baker at this stage… just. Taranto is just so consistent so far this year. Wrapped with Hopper’s score to kickstart his cash gen which looked dead if he scored another 70. Ryan’s 56 isn’t great but really liked his ruck work when he was in there and could’ve had a great game if he could stick some marks. Happy I picked him over JVR at this stage. Cowan may have to go soon unless he can get a spike score which is definitely possible if Saad is injured.

 

[Feerits Elf]

I think every coach has the same plan, which is to watch Touk have a quiet start to the season and bring him in as one of the first mid upgrades

He might surprise a few

He's become a handy little POD. Scoring below his starting price but when Bont/Cripps/Laird/Neale/Brayshaw/Macrae/Petracca are dropping sub-100 scores his rock-solid 105-125 warms the soul

only 5 so far early days!

 

[Drew]

Was at the game tonight! Nice to see Sydney get the win!


9:917, Just Hopper and Taranto in tonight’s game, flying along! Hopper has saved himself from the chopping block 😅

4/642 Dawson

Best start for the season. Amazing what happens when you get a decent VC/C right.

 

[Impromptu]

8 / 903 Laird 😬

8 / 903 Laird 😬

Pretty good mate, how do you see Essendon going tomorrow? Their home game, but at Adelaide oval?

 

[Seymour Skinner]

4/652 Laird.

Very good start.
Have Hollands 65 on the bench but don't think Rowston is a safe loop so I'll have to take Baker instead.

12 playing tomorrow, will miss most of the footy too, so hopefully it's not a disaster.

 

[wolfbunny]

some amazing scores floating around tonight, good luck for the rest of the round.

I'm chugging along at 4/425
Laird, Hopper, Taranto and Michalanney.

[THCLT]

4/652 Laird.

+1 for me.

This AFL gather round concept is not too bad for my SC therapy!

 

[Drew]

Roberts finished on 93 from just 14 disposals.

How has he scored 27,10 and 4 previously?? Was he the sub?

That’s right - 12-26% TOG.

It'd be a fun weekend if you lived in Adealaide!
