Discussion 2023 Round 2: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Bomber18]

I pretty much missed everything today, can someone summarise Ridley and Flanders? Is the role not there for Ridley? Is Flanders the preseason wonder and real season spud we all thought he might be?

Yeah don’t think the role is there for Ridley unfortunately. When he was going consistently 100-105, it was a time without Redman and McGrath there - they’re the ones getting most of the rebound ball. Ridley has to really make the most of all his opportunities to hit 100 (ie IMs, spoils and kickins) and it seems like it’ll be a bit hit and miss week to week.

We’ll just need to hope he can sometimes have those really big games he used to off set these 70 odd games. Otherwise, he’ll probably be stuck in that 90-95 avg territory

Played lock down i think. Not sure if BZT going down affected him or not.

BZT went down late in the game so it didn't have any bearing on him.

RICHMOND defender Nathan Broad has been sent straight to the Tribunal for his sling tackle on Adelaide's Patrick Parnell and is facing at least three weeks on the sidelines.

Port Adelaide's Ryan Burton, meanwhile, has copped a two-week ban for his sling tackle on Collingwood's Jamie Elliott, while North Melbourne co-captain Jy Simpkin has copped a week for a strike on Fremantle's Caleb Serong.

Broad's tackle on Parnell was judged to be careless, high contact and severe impact, meaning he has been sent straight to the Tribunal and will miss at least three weeks.

SC score sucks (Darcy captain Lol), my Tipping is woeful but I don't even care. Amazing what a win in Melb over a middle-of-the-road side can do and being in the top 4 can do to ones mood 😎

 

[Connoisseur]

What's an average/par score this week . no score at all for Max really hurts the total score

Will all be revealed in a few hours and should be of no concern now given the large variation in the early rounds and with a match still in play. I can pick a number at random lower than your projected score with a sentence or two explaining my methodology if you like for some reassurance.

waste of trades in my view… still think Doc finishes a top 8 defender….
Agree in getting Daicos but better to move on any mid pricers or incorrect early calls to get him….
Ziebell does look a must have - I am using bruyn to get him in next week….
Cant make any suggestions without seeing your team… happy to provide suggestions if you post your team @MaxsMaggies?

Its become easy for me now with the steele news & flanders stinker! Steele to either Daics or LDU or maybe even setters for the cash grab. And Flanders to Ziebs is a no brainer. Ziebs and Sheezel to get def status after round 5 to hopefully bolster my backline

On Flanders performance he would be no good thing to get a game next week to be honest, just did not get involved at all

Wonderful

 

[Blue Bloods]

How many SC points have I lost to that duck from Shuey

Cogs still in the middle, moving freely, seems minor if anything at all

 

[Johnsy44]

Callaghan with a touch!!

 

[Misky]

How was that a Clanger by Callaghan? long kick and bounced over the top of everyone!?

It was for getting caught holding the ball before.

 

[Slammer]

Callaghan doesn’t look right. Just jogging. In fact the whole team looks fatigued now as a result of last week

 

[mike89]

Weird that Adelaide were able to fight out their game while GWS just look completely listless.

 

[PC]

Giants won't come back from here. GG WCE.

 

[Blue Bloods]

No a Shuey duck

 

[Gruffles]

Chesser to Long on the cards

Why?

 

[Courtesans]

Himmelberg is at the wrong end of the ground. Why play him forward, a natural
backman. 2c
