Discussion 2023 Round 18: Teams & In Game Discussion

[eekraN]

It never ends...

500k to get Sheldrick up to someone I can cover with. Options are pretty grim. Basically Finlayson or Dusty if sticking to forwards... switching to defenders opens up Redman, May, or Mitch Duncan...

Can you go mids? Cripps is cheap and seems to be hitting some form.

Can't go mids unfortunately. Was hoping Walsh would get DPP but alas!

Found I could just about get to Shannon Hurn, that could be a fun rogue option for a few rounds...

Does that bin fire have a paddle?

GWS Sam Taylor

Love him as a player, nearly took him with my last trade last year. Maybe...

The guy I did take last year - Tom Atkins - is also on a 3RA of 106 at a similar price...

Donut city. Population 2.

 

[scarfaceclaw]

I'm a massive sam taylor fan. If I had a few more trades to burn I'd be looking at him this week. I dont think its going to happen.

Hurn and Duncan have the best scoring potential but the likelihood they play every game is slim to none.

What’s wrong with D Cam?

Potential to have donuts on every line except ruck - where I already have a permanent donut. Lol.

Tom Atkins, reliant on tackle count - that won't continue

English against who? I think he has to be VC now.

 

[Zimmer]

Realistically I'm too far behind to actually win now, and will lose more points on coaches this week, so the logical move is just to act how you would when you usually cop one week injuries or suspensions and hold.

Going down to 1 trade would inevitably just be points now that I lose later, especially if trading Dunkley to a Macrae or something is part of the scenario.

Geez, you've had a great year so far mate, 27th, 648 points behind with 6 rounds to go... it's a cruel game.

(I think I've got the right team.)

 

[OnTopBar]

This week is absolute carnage for many. Dunkley, Lloyd, Ridley, DCam, Serong, Smith, Young, Sheldrick, Cox and Kennedy are all somewhat relevant.

Reckon a few others might be holding Yeo and Warner too (me)

 

[7/11]

There'd be people with 3 or 4 premos out plus Sheldrick out lol, you're just about throwing in the towel at that point.

Guess I should’ve thrown in the towel well before now if that was the criteria:

Round 15
Sicily
Oliver
Cameron (-3)

Round 16
Cameron
Sicily
Oliver

Round 17
Cameron
Dunkley
Sicily
Ziebell (counting since he was sub)
Lloyd (concussion)

Round 18
Lloyd
Dunkley
Sheldrick
+ whatever carnage is to come.

That is certainly a rough trot. Bad luck mate.

Hasn’t been fun, but hoping to have a bright spark once everyone is back.
