Discussion 2024 Round 1: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Athomas]

Lyons is now superconfusing?!

Trying to decide if the Neale news makes it more enticing or less enticing to pick Lyons.

Will get a guaranteed inside role this week so likely a good score but then who knows how they set up in round 3 when Neale is fit again.

Maybe worth waiting and correct if need be.

Way more enticing. I'll take the sugar hit Round 1 (next to no sub risk now) and a nice cash gain in Rounds 3-4. Still think a big sub chance Round 3, but even that should be one price increase.

I haven't committed to him, but I've gone from 0% chance I pick him to 40%

That's the issue - think I would rather wait till after his bye, JS isn't great

 

[Blue Bloods]

Thought most my decisions were done. But the Neale news has thrown a spanner in the works. It is out of Fyfe and Lyons starting now, which is an easy swap to whoever starts best later if needed .

 

[7/11]

Could be wrong, but doesn’t Serong usually run with Neale when they play against Brisbane? Could mean he’s let off the chain this week. Potential captain option.

 

[TBG]

Lyons is now superconfusing?!

Wait and see how he plays/scores this week and then if he is named not as the sub in round 3, trade him as a correction trade. This is what I'm looking at doing to have him s my M6.

Does waiting help?

If Lyons comes out and scores 100 odd, most will want him. Then they'll have the bye, likely remain in the side even if Neale returns so you pretty much have to make the same decision yet it will cost a trade this time.

So you're either trading in blind after a game without Neale and hoping for the best or you wait another week, miss a price change and see what happens.

Given it minimal thought but if there's room, is he easier to start and trade out if it flops?

 

[donnybuang]

I think ai might add Watson at M11. I have some cash up my sleeve and don't like a lot of the cheaper options.

Similar here. My bench is getting quite expensive

For non-starters...

Save a trade Round 3 if he is sub
vs
Waste a trade if he isn't sub Round 3

Both positions come with risk I suppose. A sub affected score in Round 3 should still trigger a price rise off a negative breakeven at least...

Wow... he is so skinny/ didn't expect him round 1. Very fast & highly skilled small fwd

This is a great point. His rnd 2 bye is actually a bonus for looping rookies.
I just don't have a spot for him. But probably by rnd 3 I will!

 

[Ben's Beasts]

Named on bench and then sub?

Reckon he is big sub candidate

 

[ChrisCross]

With Lyons lack of versatility I can’t see him used as the sub. It’ll most likely be Robertson when he’s back.

 

[Darkie]

Yep, I have gone quite expensive on the bench in the mids and fwds because I don’t have a feel on the js of the cheaper mid rookies (Clark the exception). Also opens the f/m dpp link. I think it is either that or 'waste' a bench spot with a Mannagh type.

I have considered this too, but I think the early best 18 rounds makes JS risk a little less of a concern for bench rookies in particular. I will err on picking those with better scoring potential.

Never trust a coach with the surname of Scott.

Lyons was the Lions sub throughout their finals series last year

 

[Rowsus]

For those fighting with the Lyons decision, this may possibly help you.

Lyons BE for his 3rd game will be approximately 40 minus what he scores in his second game.

Maybe you think he can score 80 this week, which would give him a BE of -40 going into his 3rd game.

How low does his BE need to be, before you say "Nope, can't miss him, just gotta grab him!"?

 

[Zimmer]

Roberts on matchups for me.

Lead their kick-ins last week and Collingwood should have plenty of shots.

You've got some depth to not field both.

He’s not much more than some of the higher priced rookies like Reid, McKercher or even Windsor at $180k. So if one of them doesn’t fire, or even gets dropped after one game, it's a nice easy swap.
