Discussion Round 3: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Herbie66]

To think I have been trying to offload him over the last two weeks, alas, other spot-fires have meant I’m still stuck with him!

I forgot about him for the Lock N Load comp ? and went for Pendles , JPK & Jelwood instead

Sweet as 1. trade next week

 

[McLovin]

It will all be about Neale (and rightly so) but geez the Scottish Suitcase was unbelievable tonight.

Neale, McCluggage, Berry. What a combo. Those three plus Lyons, CEY, Robinson etc really did a number on the West Coast mids in the end. Nic Nat was huge in the first half but couldn't keep it up and didn't get much help.

I posted preseason they have the best midfield in the comp.

No Martin & Zorko either

 

[Yasi]

So Benell, Rivers, KP and Bedford still available on the bubble next week. Timely for those who missed them and need a rookie

 

[KLo30]

What is everyones thoughts on Average scores for Demons+Dons and take 15-20% off to bring high avg Viney/Gawn down like 20-30 points and Rivers from 62 down to like 48-50

My thoughts are that we don't have a say in what happens and we will have to wear the outcome.

There are bigger consequences from the positive tests of Victorians than Supercoach scores. FAR, FAR BIGGER CONSEQUENCES.

Trades this week - out the Smiths, Brodie and Dev, in Neale and Williamson. Points out = ? & 0, points in 164 ( ×2 ) & 55. Always looking to upgrade to a super premo. ?

I wouldn’t be getting rid of Devon if his DGR is imminent.

 

[Crabby Skills]

Yep. Plus Petracca, Zerrett and arguments could probably be made for a Viney, McGrath and Ridley.

Well it's just a game and I'm fine with this season just being a right off... but boy it still stings coming online tonight and realising that having PODs like Ridley and McGrath, and getting on rookies early like Rivers and Bennell, will pay absolutely no dividends this season....

 

[bloke]

1,471/14C, take out bottom 4 scores and am currently 1,305/10

EDIT: realised that's not how the scoring will work. Am actually 1,494 with Fyfe, Sturt, Rowell, Anderson and Bewley

 

[7/11]

14/1537 Nic Nat C. Missed out on another 29 points from not captaining Neale, but cannot complain with the choice I made when I wasn't sure if Neale would get a hard tag or not.

I have another 6 scorers to come, one of which is King's 51. Players who haven't played yet are Laird, Sturt, Bewley, Rowell and Budarick. Hoping that they can all top 70 points and maybe 1-2 go 90+.

I’d be for that, fairer than best 18.

Best 18 only benefits those without many Ess/Dees players. Everyone can trade in Dees/Ess players for a late season double round game. Whitfield also becomes a 19/20th player for many which is a very arbitrary advantage to those without many Dees/Ess players.

Decision is done though, they’re not gonna change it.

 

[Rumbler]

Just thinking over it now and the herald sun screwed up big time. Should've just cancelled SC this round.
Best 18 format screws over more people than it helps. And their solution is even worse. ***.

 

[Philzsay]

Sorry to let you all down but Whitfield wasn't really my captain. Just thought it was peak comedy. Now his 8 will drop out of my score. Neale is my captain.

Don't count your chickens too soon. From memory from previous years they double your captain score first, e.g. 8 doubled becomes 16, so if if the 16 is not in your top 18 scores it drops out. Your VC does not double as your C has played.

 

[Ironhawk]

Currently 16/1475 including emergencies. 4 scores to come - Rowell (c), Budarick, Boak and Sturt. Lowest two scores are Cameron (28) and Pickett (50).

Hoping that puts me on 14/1397 if I've calculated it right.

 

[kennychao]

1531/14C Fyfe/Sturt/Rowell/Budarick left

 

[Darkie]

Sorry, no clearer.
Did they postpone it just so they could confirm there was no link? i.e no testing required.
Was anyone tested to remove the link?
If so how did they get the test so quickly?

I’m not sure if this is helpful, but Gill seemed to indicate that the players will be tested on Tuesday to allow time after the potential exposure to see if it leads to infections.

I’m not sure when the potential exposure was in the rugby case, but if the potential exposure had happened earlier in the week, the AFL players could presumably have been tested today. Apparently they can get results same day.

Yeh to me it is fairer and I should be being quiet as I have benefited majorly from it atm. But the site had the best 18 thing when I was on it now it disappeared.

 

[Ben's Beasts]

13/1537 (c)

Fyfe, Doedee, Rowell, Budarick and Sturt to come.

 

[Darkie]

Gill on seven now saying everyone at Essendon will be tested tomorrow and results should be known Tuesday. Why couldn't they play Wednesday?

My understanding of what was said was different (see above), and I think that would potentially explain it.
