I think the biggest problem facing us is not knowing for certain how SC will handle each scenario. I assume that with byes it will be best 18 but not knowing the fixture for 9-12 before the first game this week makes trading difficult. I think the best tactics going forward is probably to sacrifice trying to get top end premos and just try and guess those value selections, and make sure you have warm bodies on the bench that you can loop. With the weekly scores generally being lower this it seems like the rankings are more tightly packed. I think the overall winner can still come from someone who may be what seemingly is out of contention.I always base how I'm going by the gap between me and the leader rather than where I'm ranked.I don't think I'm as far back for my ranking as what I would have been last season. And with an unknown future who knows how easily things could turn around for those further back. Just my 2 cents

I'm sure SC is burning the midnight oil so they can tell us, as soon as possible, what they plan to do with each possible scenario that might come up, right?
By SC telling us as soon as possible what we can expect, that will certainly ease all this frustration. So I'm patiently waiting for them to let us know before kick off tonight so I can plan my trades strategy.

There's talk of 2 teams having a Bye each round, are 2 teams not playing enough to have best 18? I know they did it for the MEL vs ESS game, but that was decided mid-round.
Previously, I think it was PTA vs GCS as the only teams that had a Bye in a round (because they played in China) and I think we didn't have best 18?:unsure:

Anyway, SC let us know what you are planning to do.

There we have it.

I'm hoping/expecting something like this for the Hawks tonight/tomorrow...

IN
Burgoyne
Lewis
Hartley
Moore / Minchington

OUT
Ceglar
Patton
Puopolo
Morris

I'm hoping Moore is given a go, got over his injury troubles and now has put together a couple of good scratch match performances.
Impey at least another week away, and Scrimshaw listed a 1 - 2 on the injury list.

Do you think Jones gets a 2nd look?

I'd think unlikely. Not due to the fact he did anything wrong (thought he was very good), but just due to the fact all our midfielders are just midfielders. We don't have a Fyfe or a Bont who can go and rest forward or anything. Our midfielders get their goals from pushing forward whilst playing in the midfield. So he requires a Mitchell, Jaeger, Shiels, maybe even a smith type to go down I think before we will see him again, as he very much fits the same pure mid role. Based on the last few weeks performance, if I was selecting the side I would've had him in for Shiels who has had a couple of absolute stinkers on the trot now.

Thanks for the update, hopefully he gets a run, when they start resting players during the condensed fixture.

One more round to wait for me then in he comes round 8, all things being equal, yeah right as if....especially if we're going to best 18.
Worst thing about going to best 18 now is that I've used so many trades trying to prioritize cash generation, but with best 18 I won't need the cash anymore but will need to have the extra trades...just chasing my tail atmo.
