Cam Rayner woohoo, time for his breakout year? Could be a late bloomer...still only 25.

 

[Post Nut Clarity]

Can any Freo supporter enlighten me as to who "Pirate"is?

I believe Pirate is Aish!

Jackson was best on ground, to kick 4 goal must of played most of the game fwd?

I'm not that concerned even if he is mostly forward, he'll still have relieving duties whenever injury magnet is having a rest and he can mark a ball and kick goals, no reason why he can't average in the mid 90's or beyond, and then when Darcy gets his inevitable niggle....lol, bounty time!

Been in my teams from yesteryear, not sure I want to go there again. Like a Fyfe waiting to happen.

This year in SC is doing my head in. Might end up a ghost ship…….joking lol but my head is hurting.

So if we select 1 or 2 of Gawn and Grundy which is no1 combo at this point.

Can we select anymore round zero players and where does the math converge?

Round zero vs not is all about value.

If beyond Grundy you have Walsh, Flanders and Daicos, it works if they generate enough value above their price to o***et the 50 point impact of the bye (assuming 110 premium less 60 rookie). However this assumes that someone takes a non round zero players at face value.

If they find similar value then the donut will cost you 50pts. I would use 10 rounds as impact to o***et/recover the impact of the bye. If Daicos go 120 vs priced at 115 then you make it up if someone goes LDU and he delivers on his price of 115 (just picking an assumed intrinsic price). However if LDU goes 120, then the bye will cost you. Questions is can you find 10-12 premiums they dont have early bye and represent value

I watched his highlights package the other day and all it was was him kicking goals, mostly set shots, and he's very short, reckon I'll pass.

You are not wrong there. He looks like he should be in the U12's. Looks like he has a heap of ability though so good luck to him but standing next to Max Ramsden it really shows how small he is.

So, please ignore my ignorance .... tried reading the help pages and couldn't find a definitive answer ...

Is this the case ....

- Any player selected for Round 0 is locked into your team ...
- Aside from those players, unlimited trades before the commencement of Round 1 ....

 

[Eagling]

Cross Sweet off the list.

All indications are that Soldo is the man.

A handy 55k in the bank for plenty.

A very un-handy $hundredsofthousands out of the bank for my Xerri/Sweet/Conway trifecta line.

Don’t forget when they throw him in the square for CBA’s to rove to Darcy.

No, I don't think that's right.

Supercoach starts in Rd 1. So it's unlimited trades until players are locked out for their Rd 1 match.

HOWEVER - Rd 0 scores count for calculating changes in player prices.

No can do as many trades as you like up until Carl v Richmond game R1 then as each games starts players are locked out.

Watson is 170cm (5'7" in the old money)

For reference:

Brent Harvey is 175cm
Caleb Daniel and Kosi Pickett are 171cm
Tony Liberatore is 163cm

Hey Wolfy.... what do you think Owens is going to do this year ?
Become awesome.... stay the same, regress?

You mean resume normal transmission 🤣 draft number 75 starting tomorrow!

He got a good run to start the season with all the injuries we had early. not sure tbh, might get stuck in half forward no mans land?

If you think you’re getting more than about a 5ppg discount on the player (call it 25-30k), you should come out ahead taking them even if they have an early bye. It’s arguably only 2-3ppg that’s needed.
