Discussion 2023 Round 11: Teams & In Game Discussion

Bloody X O'Neil. Tags Day to a rubbish score then gets omitted. What a nonce.

Hard luck re Day, but perfect for Merrett.

Wasn't going to bring him in, but have no option, but trade Oliver, with the rookie carnage.

My partners Irish nephew stayed with us recently. He spoke very highly of Oisin Mullin a highly skilled Gaelic footy player for County Mayo. Played in at least one all Ireland final in front of 80,000, used to the big crowds and games. Interested to see how he goes. Slainte.

Geelong were speaking super highly of him pre season. Definitely on the watch list.

 

[Montyjnr]

Unless he plays as sub... that would give him a "rest" of sorts and would annihilate his cash gen...

I will trade him to Eddie Ford if he is named sub.

I don't want to risk losing value on Simpson with a 59 BE.

Would normally agree, but he may be that perfect coverage over the byes. Ford is another Rd 15 bye player, so I am cautious about selecting Ford or Wardlaw until after this round.

Yep, assuming you can trust Scott when it says he rested, and he actually will come back in next week

 

[Rumbler]

Just going through the team line-ups now and all I can see on my bench is this message below hahah!



I mean the only positive is M.Johnson supposedly getting a "full game"....and that's assuming he doesn't get subbed during the game itself!
Apart from that I can't be too disappointed cuz at least I have Angwin and his 20 points as cover...!!

 

[Serj]

I lost two to the great rookie cull this week +oliver, but it feels even worse, Simpson was my f6, so I need to replace him on field. Back ups of drury or angwin sounds awful, albeit atleast they're playing. If only I had a dpp to switch into my forward line, after all literally every single forward I have is a dpp. But nope, the rest of my team has no forward eligibility, so I am unable to free up Johnson from m9 or mcandrew from r3! Is it worth going early on Ford just to avoid fielding angwin, urgh.

Maybe he is a good player

I smell the scent of donuts in the wind.

To quote a great song ‘I hate to say I told you so’! I know, no one likes a smart @ss 😉.

Well done, taking Drury was a master stroke

 

[wt44]

Lucky, got them both. Phillips, Mitchell, JVR and Johnson are going nowhere from my time for a while.

Yeah good call. Currently reversing Samson Ryan back into my team to trade cincotta out instead

 

[Darkie]

Oliver + Cincotta
=>
Steele + Docherty

 

[wolfbunny]

I wouldn't expect it to be anymore humid here in Darwin Saturday than in Brisbane, in fact I'd go as far to say it'll be better conditions. It's cool here atm, I'm sitting here in tracksuit pants and a jumper LOL, currently 18 degrees just on the outskirts of Darwin and dry.

Darwin 18 degrees = trackie dacks + jumper.
Denmark 18 degrees = shorts, thongs, t-shirt and sunscreen.

It is all relative isn’t it, just add humidity and shake it all about 😂
did note @NT.Thunder’s comment was at 8 am slightly different to a 7.30/6.30 pm game time when it comes to humidity, but blah, either way it gets ugly 🤣

Mate, if one must rub others noses in it, one must always speak in the third person! 🤣
@dicksilverman said this or dicksilverman said that, not I said 👊
I wish I was ’Sharp’er 😜 to avoid that calamity!

Gold Coast v Western Bulldogs at TIO Stadium, 6.55pm ACST
GOLD COAST
In: J.Jeffrey, B.Long
Out: S.Day (sub), B.Ellis (omitted), S.Lemmens (hamstring)
Last week's sub: Tom Berry
WESTERN BULLDOGS
In: None
Out: J.Johannisen (hamstring)
Last week's sub: Lachlan McNeil

Not SC related, but did Gold Coast really omit Brandon Ellis? Wow! I saw him play against us (Richmond) a few weeks back and he killed us.

Humidity around that time here in Darwin is probably 65-70% where in Brisbane the same time is 80% and up. Most people who spend little time here just assume it'll be hot and humid conditions that players will struggle with but I think tomorrow night will be better conditions than playing at the Gabba.

[Wheedus]

Holding Chandler and Ashcroft also looking like the right call now

 

[wt44]

Just noticed Samson Ryan on the extended bench. Is he likely to survive that also considering that Ben Miller is named there and when would we know by? My coverage for him is Drury at the moment
