Discussion 2024 Round 5: Teams & In Game Discussion

[7/11]

You are no doubt right, but getting to that state is the difficulty. I am not sure how to go from full on obsession to sanguine. Having the wrong rookie on field, the wrong captain choice or the weeks and weeks regret over starting choices are enough for me to have sleepless nights and anxiety.

I think AFL is worse because we have multiple days between rounds. At least with BBL, it’s the next day or the Xmas break to languish over scores/failed trades.

Liam Duggan the one who is in some doubt according to the news last night.

Hawkins out should make Combens task a whole lot easier

 

[Amazing Bombers]

Had some good scores thankfully but Clark sub is annoying, have the Wilson 61 on my bench which isn't much in theory but put Carroll on emergency so would have liked Clark to play.

Think i'm still 12/1402(c) taking out my lowest 4(which is a dangerous thing to do with a lot of rookies left)
Stewart, Sheezel, Powell, Mckercher, Dempsey and Reid to go.

 

[Zimmer]

I've got both Clark and Lazarro. Who said you shouldn't go early on rookies.

I don't suppose it matters, if I put either on the ground as both will drop out.

Consensus on bringing in Combden in early?

Lazzaro still has a -9 breakeven so won’t lose money at least.

Lol, 2k Short of going Clark to Comden and Jordan to Baker.

 

[Bermi]

I can honestly say this game is much more enjoyable if you can avoid looking at your overall ranking each week This game eats away at you over the years if you're not careful - time for me anyway to enjoy the game and not get too hung up over it.

I have a gut feel where I'm at and I'm content with that.

It is, most of us went through that though. Some of us even traded Rozee 2 rounds ago but you know what, I'm comfortable that "I" made that these decisions based on what "I" knew at the time. Is what it is.

"........time for me anyway to enjoy the game and not get too hung up over it........." "........I'm comfortable that "I" made that these decisions based on what "I" knew at the time........."

Totally agree with you @NT.Thunder, I have reached a stage where I am not getting to upset with the SC choices that I have made, sometimes disappointing yeah, but I am not letting it to get me down.
I made my choices based on the knowledge that I had at the time. If I cannot decide between players, then I just rely on luck.
I had luck last week with my Captains choices, but this week I didn't: V/Capt Bont 73, Captain Green 72, all the other 4 players that were in consideration scored between 108 and 145.

I'll do better next week!

Went early on Clohesy this week, Comben a watch for next week

 

[Zimmer]

Yeah, think I'm getting antsy having missed Cloheshy et al. I have to concentrate on the decisions I've made and not knee jerk to try to "correct" decisions that weren't necessarily "wrong". Just looking at Clark as sub - if I could get rid of him before he loses more cash... etc. But equally Comben could crash or get injured...

To Quote Spider Dijon: That's easy to say with the benefit of hind legs!

 

[Zoku Pops]

Consensus on bringing in Combden in early?

I'm pulling the trigger on this. Been an average round so Comben can either go down with the ship or bring me some joy.

Will Tom Brown score more against WC than Howes’ 62 🤔

 

[Rowsus]

Lol, 2k Short of going Clark to Comden and Jordan to Baker.

That might be a good thing ......

 

[Lost In The Sky]

Comben reading the ball well

 

[Russty_]

Will Tom Brown score more against WC than Howes’ 62 🤔

I'd say he's a fair chance at it, never can tell though.

 

[Leroy]

Bit of a rookie misfire this week, traded Tom Berry to Ramsden for cash - if I'd done Howes to Graham instead I'd be maybe +80 points to the better.

Comben, Georgiades and Graham all targets for next week, going to be some interesting decisions

 

[Lost In The Sky]

McKercher looks injured... in the rooms with the doctor getting ribs assessed

 

[Under The Dome]

Got cold feet on trading McKercher early
