One other thing I want to caution against is any 'knee-jerk' reaction upon reading my opening post as that was not the intent. What's done up to this point is DONE, I just wanted to paint a picture of what's to come so you can all set REALISTIC and ACHIEVABLE goals for your OWN team.
I have no doubt that over the coming rounds, you'll read post from other coaches along the lines of, 'I'm running an 10/10, 9/9, 8/8 split across the DDGRs, etc.'. The way you need to interpret those type of posts is that it didn't just suddenly happen and that those coaches would've planned for this from as far back as R5. They more than likely would've gone in with the 'less than standard' number of DG players for those preceding DGRs in order to be where they are now. The current R9 Scorchers DGR substantiate this fact. Those coaches that chose to go into R9 with 6 or 7 Scorchers will be less likely to have a total of >12 for the DDGRs and vice versa.
There's no RIGHT or WRONG way of going about it, but just have a sense of 'reality check' of your own team's path in getting to this point before you start to over criticise the current state of your team.
Without trying to 'spoon feed' coaches as that's not my style, I've provided more than enough 'hints' through these roundly trade threads so it shouldn't come as a surprise for the majority of you out there. Coaches that knows me would vouch that I have better things to do with my time than post for the sake of posting.
