Round 2: Teams and In-Game Discussions
- Thread starter Damoz
- Start date
The Port DEF rookies are gold along with Wines and guys like Monfries, wouldn't worry too much about having 3 or 4 of them just a matter of trading them at the right time. I to have 4 in DEF and Wines.

Anybody else thinking K Mitchell > O'Meara and Neade > Macaffer for the last starting spot? Provided no vests the two Port guys v GWS have a much higher ceiling for mine. Neade is a bigger vest concern this week for mine so I'm undecided on him. If Dwyer gets dropped the floating zero will make that decision a lot easier.
I followed that same thought process to bring in Clay Smith in round 2 last year.
In round 1 he scored 102 in just over 3/4's of a game, before being subbed off with cramp.
I thought I needed to make more than 2 corrective trades, so started in round 2 instead of waiting.
He kicked 4 goals, scored 102, I was thinking "He's a lock for a must have cash cow!"
History shows us he scored 27, 30 in the next 2 weeks, followed by missing the next 3 games!!!!
After returning, and missing a couple of games around the byes, his scores went 10, 52, 8, 30!!!!
In fact, out of 16 games he played last year, after scoring 102 on debut he only had 5 more scores over 60!!! 78, 78, 78, 72, 61!!!!
Not saying this will happen to Wines, but boy it kicked me in the teeth, and taught me something about making assumptions on the back of one game!
