Discussion Round 4: Teams & In Game Discussion

Atkins on field for Fyfe, ripper

Same here. B Scott and N Fyfe missing meaning the last mid spot is out of M Gibbons and T Atkins. Wish I had a def dpp in the mids to bring X Duursma off the def bench onto the mids.

Same situation here. I don't think Gibbons will play anyway.

Just imagine not fielding 3 rookies in defence every week...

Makes the choice easier then.

 

[AngryAnt]

If I decide not to trade Fyfe, I will have Walsh, LDU, Smith, Constable and Atkins on field, with Gibbons on pine.

Not sure why ppl are trading Fyfe out, it's not like he was selected with a history of 22 games played a year. Will be back next week.

 

[Ironhawk]

Scrimshaw extended bench what’s his chance of being dropped?

Looking at the others on the bench, reasonable. I would say Scully, Howe and Ceglar would make the 22, leaves 1 more spot.

 

[Herbie66]

Noah Answerth not even a E again for the last 2 weeks now ?

 

[Dustman]

Reckon it’ll be Atkins ,think Gibbons will be dropped for Stocker.

 

[Lost In The Sky]

Consider me schooled in the shenanigans of the West Coast Eagles! ?

Lol, Yeah I would love Watson to get some games, He's an exciting prospect with his dash off half-back, but our back 6-7 just too hard to crack. A Sheppard or Jetta injury likely his only chance to get a game, but even then it depends on match-ups as Schofield can play small or tall.

At any another club he'd likely be getting regular games.

 

[madmunza]

Pretty sure Scrimshaw has been on extended bench for the last few weeks, should be fine

 

[Herbie66]

and where is Jez McLennan ? although a Rd 7 (or later) debut would be perfect

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Scrimshaw extended bench what’s his chance of being dropped?

Nope, he'll be playing Sunday.

A lot of "experts" are tipping Melbourne, but i cannot figure out why. Sydney's recent record at home has been pretty poor, but they've beaten Melbourne the last 5 times they've played each other...

To add to this Franklin has won his last 15 games against Melbourne.

Didn’t he have disciplinary issues of some sort pre-season?

Could miss 2 and could struggle the first few weeks back.

Feel like Libba is a great buy and Fyfe to Libba is my best way there. Fyfe also has a high breakeven so will drop a bit as wel making trading him out not as costly as it could be.

 

[Dustman]

To add to this Franklin has won his last 15 games against Melbourne.

Surely Franklin will kick 5 or 6 tonight.

 

[Zimmer]

Scott out does give a chance to loop Constable and Butters; unfortunately, they are two I'm pretty confident to back on the field. Oh, well, not much to complain about really.

 

[wt44]

A lot of people against the idea of trading Fyfe which i would usually 100% be on board with. I haven't made any trades yet and have no concerns other than Fyfe and BSmith? a little bit. Highly considering doing Fyfe to Oliver just to actually get on the board with some proactive trades.

 

[McLovin]

Noah Answerth not even a E again for the last 2 weeks now ?

What's got you excited about Answerth? Seems like a good prospect, but the chances of him getting a game ahead of Bailey, Cox, Lester, Christensen, Robertson, Cutler and Hinge off half back are pretty slim this season.

Even if you were trading Fyfe, I'd look elsewhere than Oliver. Has a BE way beyond his average, and hasn't shown any consistency this year. Not sure of the logic there. If you're thinking of trading Fyfe, look for more of a POD.
