Discussion 2024 Round 8: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Connoisseur]

Most important game of the season given the Crows have won three of the past four showdowns, a Crows home game, Rory Sloane’s farewell and thus they will be keen to work harder for longer, so all hands on deck. Need the unquantifiable and moronic “momentum” ride from a close hard fought win against the arch nemesis as fuel for the battle next round against Geelong.

Was it all worth the Rozee risk in the end?

Good thing finals are scary and someone has to lose.

 

[Russty_]

I'd prefer my R2 to score more than my M8 or D6.

Very risky though making him R2, do you have Jackson to back him up/replace him?

 

[Monya Meow Meow]

This has turned into a bloody disaster. Just leave Rozee out and we could’ve traded him! Ken the new Bevo. Furious

And will now lose too much value to even trade out

 

[Old Big 'Ead]

Trade Rozee, then he tries to be heroic, so trade him back in as many did. Now he'll be out for 'who knows'

Put the "E" on Rozee.
Now watch him dribble his way up to 70-80, to make me take him!

Wish I'd though of that....

Wish Rozee had just missed tonight. Watching him not even attempt to kick it is just pure torture.

I think we all wanted him to miss. His value with a BE of 138 will drop significantly.

 

[Chumpion]

Rozee is going to be a bargain for non owners in a few weeks. Bitter pill for those with him, especially given he was on track for a strong score before being subbed last week.

What score would you play him on field with? I have him as R3, but have Jackson if need be.

 

[Ben's Beasts]

What I’m looking forward to the most as a Rozee and Steele owner is Steele going huge when I trade him this round as he appeared to be the more hobbled of the two.

 

[Meltingpot38]

Rozee now in the never again bucket

Nothing surer the same thing will happen to me

 

[Zoku Pops]

Sweet doing absolutely fine. Should get to 70-75 which you would take as a rookie score every day of the week. It's also against O'Brien so I reckon he's doing alright.

Also, feel for Connor owners, absolutely brutal.

 

[Santoz]

Looping him with Comben via Jackson. Will be touch & go whether I field him as Comben should see a bit of footy this weekend.

 

[Shaunpro1]

Sweet is just the reality of playing competent fit opposition, can't just farm hitouts to advantage and does very little around the ground to compensate, definitely staying on my bench.

Horne-Francis got the handball away almost posthumously.
Great call 🤣

 

[Plan B]

Charlie Dixon has been woeful tonite

Look forward to picking him up in a few weeks..wonder what his price drops too?

 

[Maccas marvels]

Butters a nice little score….up to 121….
Sweet keeps the money flowing on 71… don’t feel he is going to be one to field although ROB one of the tougher rucks to score against….

 

[Darkie]

Interesting, I hadn’t seen any play but just noticed that he seemed to be getting quite a few hitouts for the backup ruck.

I recall that he looked in a bad way in round 1 or 2, but last week I thought he looked really good.

 

[Chumpion]

Reckon he’ll be gettable sub $500k or thereabouts. Bargain M8!

 

[Zim^zuM]

I'm convinced after watching the explanation video of how Champion Data works and how many people are involved, that it's not biased and some kind of conspiracy, there are too many follow up people for that, double /triple checkers. If the main guy calling the plays was seen to be incompetent or showed bad judgement, I'm sure he'd be replaced quick smart.
I don't have the link to that video but someone does here, probably Connoisseur.

Just like the moon landings. Too many people would have had to be involved to make it up and then keep it secret. Just not realistic.

I didn't realise JHF was dead, now that I do, condolences to his family and I'm sure they'll be proud to know their boy still got a handball away after he passed away.
