Why not?

Dream Stats.com is more detailed. It's got about 15 different statistical categories on every player all which updates in real time and which you can see just by hovering your mouse over the players name. I guess you need to be using desktop to take full advantage

 

[go you pups]

Blakey an option Bandicoot considering the lack of forward rookies? Or McCarthy still better for 40k more?

DTlive clearly better from a dreamteam perspective though, you can see how players have got their points from quarter to quarter, and probably the biggest one is that you can see who is on the bench at any given time. A godsend, but I could do without the stupid sound effects.

You can do the quarter by quarter thing on DS too by clicking the graph icon out the front of each players name and you get a chart of the players score at any point in the game. It doesn't do the bench thing but that's not essential and people in chat can normally tell you who's on the bench anyway if you want to know.

If you actually register as a member of DTLive, after you have logged in you can then turn the sound effects off. The other thing that I enjoy if you log in is that you can highlight your players (in orange) and your opponent's players (in blue).

Oh yeah I forgot about that option. Even better.

He looked ok today but I worry where he fits into our forward line when Buddy, Menzel and McCartin are all available together with Reid.

Whilst watching a game I usually have both turned on. I use DTLive for most of the coverage but then look at Dream Stats if I want to see the actual statistics. I have the TV on a 30 second or so delay so that the DT points come up in time with the telecast.

How is it that Watson has a 17 possession game with 10 tackles (95 DT points) in JLT1 and then gets dropped???

 

[Dugong]

McCarthy has found himself into F5 with Setterfield at F6 for now

Thanks to all the terrible forward rookies, McCarthy might be a goer

Sheed b2b 40 possesion games

Because there's hardly any spots open with Gaff coming back I suppose. And Watson's disposal has been iffy. That shit don't fly with Simmo's pinpoint kickin gameplan

 

[melanChronic]

Rockliff and Sheed presenting as classic traps/must haves. Rockliff could genuinely go top mid if Macrae slides, and Sheed could be that rare midfielder that comes from the clouds and goes 105-110 (a la Oliver, Murphy in 2017). Equally, Sheed could vanish once the heat turns up and Shuey, Gaff and Redden get down to business, and Rockliff could re-do his shoulder after attempting his first tackle of 2019 or have Ken send him on tagging assignments during the second halves of random games.

I do feel like Sheed has teased in preseasons before (though not to this degree) and Rockliff seems to be a massive conundrum every preseason. He did dud me massively last year, but he's actually had a proper preseason this time.

SPOT ON. I didint watch the first Power game but Rocky looked very fit and in the middle of everything in JLT2. May have to roll the dice on him. Sheed... im not so sure since Gaff was barely trying

 

[2006_Eagles]

Sheed 2 tackles over 2 games

Smells like fools gold to me

Rockliff similar in that his 178 only featured one tackle!

I didn't see much of the ferby but the game at Alberton was ridiculously bruisefree and (I hope) not indicative of how the real stuff will go. The Rockliff of old would just replace his uncontested marking with crazy tackle numbers, but can his shoulders manage that now?

Sheed on the other hand is never much of a tackler, and will probably struggle to rack up 30-40 touches consistently as the fifth banana.

 

[Tex Danger]

Witherden, Cousins, Balta & Burgess (113k left)
OR
Hanley, Butters, Heeney & Balta/Burgess (1k left)

EDIT: another option

Hanley, Cousins, Greene, & Balta/Burgess (120k left)


Note: the 110-120k left could be used to upgrade any of Scott, Atkins, Gibbons to a Butters/Jones/Hately/Caldwell/Smith type mid rookie

 

[Agechamp]

I've got 3 poeple I'm iffy on.

Roberton
Bcrouch
Worpel

The replacement of these is the hard part.

True, but one is a hall of fame pig, the other a possible breakout candidate haha.

Although these new 6-6-6 rules may result in a lot less congestion and higher possession rates.

What about Sloane for Crouch?

I've got Sloane and he's underpriced on what he's capable of

Just the risk of tag

Otherwise he's best value in the whole comp

I'm in trouble.
I have all three.

JLT can certainly change things. When I did my first squad 2 months ago I had 4 GCS players in the squad of 30 whilst considering a fifth. I've now got none.
