Bytel in for Comben (Davey to M10) and I'm done with $1,100 spare.

30 green dots.

I would assume that's Phillipou and Caminiti?
Did someone install a secret camera on Ross's Shoe?

Looks like the work of Control Agent 13

This is the question I’m trying to figure out. Is he worth the extra money. The split in the practice game was almost exclusively wing though wasn’t it? Very few minutes in the “pocket” from my recollection. I will admit he’s not someone I watched carefully as I was certain we’d get a forward line that didn’t need to include him.

Appreciate the answer.

It was more so wing than small forward. Wing for the first 3'ish quarters and then forward late. There was talk of GC mixing a few more players through their midfield & he'd be a perfect on-field swap for Touk. Surely he gets more of a look inside also with any injuries to their starting mids.

I only played it once about 10 years ago mate, just taking it on again myself, I could start a league if you wanna join? on the RDT topic page.
Seems to be fairly easy to pick a decent starting side.

yeah go for it many will join

 

[Eagling]

Anyone else much less happy with their team, compared to this time last year?

This time last season I was sweating on Hayes R2.

 

[Ironhawk]

There's already a few leagues in that topic, I'm sure some of the leagues still have spaces free.

Giving myself a couple of rounds to look at Davey. He's a massive sub risk but at his price, that's not as bad as with some of our other rookies. It's just that, which rookie do I cull for him? I then need to have the discipline to not spend the savings so that he can be corrected if needs be.

Davey should at least start out as a bench rookie so I can wait on him but I agree - he's a chance of an 80 or two with that soft draw

Essendon desperately need class. He'll play as long as his fitness is holding up I reckon. Like all of the 18yo rookies you're just hoping he gets 6 or 7 weeks before being managed. I expect even Ashcroft could be a sub-risk at some stage. No reason to think Davey is any different

If you are going to do that, you should Comben your emergency instead of Greene, just in case ...

Yeah - I’ve resigned to the fact I’ll just pick a speculator team For this round and use 3 boosts in the next 3 rounds to get the starting team I really wanted.

 

[Zimmer]

It is quite a surprise that Phil Davis has another injury.

I feel for the guy but, every season it just a matter of time.

 

[Vicwood]

Would select Bytel if he had solid JS but seems very sketchy right now.

Yes, he will be gone when windhager returns.

 

[Peter56]

I think i'll do the same, does this count as a POD?

Bytel only on 1.4% so a true pod 🙂 I wonder how long that will last 🤔

 

[frosty1]

Hopper's game, albeit one, made me second guess mid priced risks. I've faded Flanders and Bruhn but kept F Callahan. Hard to really know which will take the step, fair bit of luck. Plenty of mid price correction trades come round 3 I reckon. It's fun to take risks of a few though.

Hoppers game has me regretting not looking more closely at that price bracket. I'd completely missed L. Ash being there. Reckon he is a massive chance to be the one that got away

 

[Zimmer]

Anyone else much less happy with their team, compared to this time last year?

I certainly am, having finally made to PL2 - and having no time to prepare. Feel like I’ve got here and life has intervened majorly.

I’m any case - it’s a game. Some of us have more time to spend on it and others less. And there’s the huge elephant in the room of luck. Just happy to be part of such a fun site whether things go well or not. 🤟

 

[Feerits Elf]

Stupid sexy Flanders ...

 

[Eagling]

If you are going to do that, you should Comben your emergency instead of Greene, just in case ...

I see what you're getting at but I'm not sure how I could possibly take advantage of a bumper score with a doughnut. Ratugolea will be locked out so I can't swap Madden out of R3 and get a F/M zero, so the alternative will be to start with two zeroes. What would Comben need to score to lock that structure in?

Still, having said all that, I'll give it a shot.

 

[Vicwood]

Getting Cold on Bruhn, looking at the Cats side i cannot see how he kees his place unless long term injury.

Who pushes him out? They clearly Don’t rate Parfitt, Menegolas cooked and Duncan won’t be playing significant mid minutes anymore.

If you think he’s playing mostly mid, they’ve got their best midfield available and he’s in the side.
